The first example isn't really her fault. If you got laid off it's either the employers fault or yours.
To clarify she was being negative when I applied for it, the job was posted as entry level HR and they were willing to train and I had management experience. I got laid off because they eliminated the position to save money, they straight up told me it was because of Trumps tariffs on Chinese steel etc (we were a manufacturing company). I held it for a year and a half and they moved me to customer service but it was not a good fit, the CS manager was someone I'd had to counsel numerous times for her attitude so yeah, she had no interest in helping me succeed and I didn't like the CS position.

Maybe you weren't qualified for a couple of those jobs since they didn't work out? She could be trying to take a realistic approach so you land a steady job. I don't see why she'd maliciously discourage you from trying to make money.
I've never been fired for like straight up incompetence, one was a layoff, one I picked my battle and eventually lost even though it was the right thing to do, and two I quit with notice. I also don't know why she would discourage me, I've always moved up on the payscale so idk
