WATCH: Archer & Feldman: Frosted Noodles

Staying mentally healthy in the media business

Getting laid off can mess with your head. Your ego. Your sense of self-worth.

And if you work in radio, television, or journalism, you’re probably watching it happen all around you.

It’s not necessarily easier for the people who survive the cuts. The axe is always hanging overhead. More budget reductions. More layoffs. More uncertainty. In some cases, more pressure from politicians who don’t like what journalists report.

So how do you stay sane?

How do you keep your balance when your career feels unstable? And if you’ve just been laid off, what should you do on Day One?

Charles Feldman and I invited a special guest to help answer those questions. Ronnie Loaiza is a Certified Habit Coach. She spends her time helping people build healthier routines, stronger mindsets, and better ways to navigate stress and change.

Also, rumor has it she’s married to a radio guy who thinks he’s famous.

In this episode of Archer & Feldman, we talk about staying mentally healthy in the media business, surviving layoffs, managing uncertainty, and yes ... what frosted noodles have to do with any of it.
