I got laid off and built something better

In January 2025, I was laid off from my $131,000 UX design job in a 10-minute Teams call. What followed was the hardest 18 months of my life - and the most transformative. In this vulnerable story, I share how losing everything I built led me to build something better. #layoffs #careerchange #unemployment Tags: laid off and became full time content creator story, career change after layoff transformation success story, unemployment to content creator journey 18 months, losing my job and building better life success story, corporate layoff to entrepreneurship transformation story 💰 MY DIGITAL PRODUCTS & RESOURCES The Financial Planner → https://lifeandnumbers.com/financial-...
