Success Stories Ep 9 Amber Rosol: Resilience Grows In The Dark, Amber’s Story Of Recovery & Momentum

What happens when you give twenty two years to a company, lose your sense of identity through toxic leadership, step into a voluntary separation with fear, and then face a personal crisis on the exact same day?
You rebuild from scratch. And that is exactly what Amber Rosol did.

In this Success Stories episode, Stephen Jarrett talks with Amber, one of the earliest and most influential members of the JSCareers community, about how she went from emotional exhaustion, loss of confidence, and years of instability to rebuilding her identity, healing her mental health, relearning modern job search tools, and ultimately landing a new instructional design role that was created specifically for her.

This is a story about courage, structure, recovery, and the power of community.

In this conversation you will hear:
1. Amber’s twenty two year journey at Verizon and the five year struggle leading to her voluntary separation
2. How she lost her identity and confidence through repeated instability
3. The day everything changed, from separation to her father’s cancer diagnosis
4. Why the job search felt impossible and why traditional outplacement was not enough
5. The turning point when she entered the JSCareers community and realized she did not have to do this alone
6. How learning to use AI, systems, and structure rebuilt her momentum
7. Her personal transformation, quitting smoking, restoring health, rebuilding self worth, and resetting her foundation
8. The value of community, routines, and positive momentum
9. How she networked with intention and ended up with a role created for her at AAA
10. Her message to job seekers who feel scared, stuck, or broken by their previous environment

Amber’s story proves that resilience really does grow in the dark. And when you combine structure, support, and daily self work, you do not just find a job, you find yourself again.
