Career change after a layoff, where to begin? after 4 years as a store manager

I want to move from store manager to something with more stability. I am in St. Louis, in case local advice matters. I have good customer skills and I am comfortable with spreadsheets. Has anyone made a similar move?

You likely have more transferable skills than you think. Write down what you did, not what the job title said.

I began with informational chats, then a short online course, then a related entry-level role. It took about 12 months.
