Navigating layoffs and a webinar for reporters on medical debt

Happy Monday! Skim for your weekly roundup of jobs, industry readings, resources and more.

👀 ‘What if I get laid off?’ I loved, loved Anne Helen Petersen and Phoebe Gavin in this episode of the Work Appropriate podcast. They take a daunting topic — layoffs — and make it so much easier to talk and think about by sharing personal experiences and action items to help folks plan, prepare and grow.

😷 ‘How medical debt crushes Americans’: USC Annenberg’s Center for Health Journalism announced a webinar that “examines the scope of medical debt and its crushing impact on individuals and whole communities. Reporters will gain a better understanding of this uniquely American problem and the push for solutions.”

The session is scheduled for June 27 at 1 p.m. ET and speakers come from the National Consumer Law Center, KFF Health News and the Sycamore Institute, according to an email.

🧠 ‘Our brains aren’t wired to juggle tasks’: Rachel Feintzeig wrote for The Wall Street Journal about “the lies we tell ourselves about multitasking.”

+ Also from WSJ: “Your next big move should scare you”

Thanks for reading!

P.S. Here are a few things that fueled this newsletter/me this week:

• 🐐 Have you ever seen goats eat whole tomatoes? It’s the best.

• 🎧 My go-to white noise: Whether I’m traveling and need to sleep or trying to calm a fussy baby, this YouTube clip that’s 10 hours of fan noise does the trick.

• 🐶 Out of context dogs on Twitter: This account is slightly unhinged and pretty great at the same time.
