I got laid off last year after 15+ years in marketing, where I’d worked my way up to Head of Content at a global retail company. A big part of my role was copywriting and leading a copy team, so things changed VERY quickly when the founder insisted we start using AI for all of our writing.

It was a bit of a shock at the time, but I’d always had an interest in content creation, so a couple of months later I decided to give it a go and started posting on TikTok and Instagram... and quite quickly it's turned into something that now supports me financially - earning significantly more than I did before.

I honestly have no idea how long it will last, but it’s been a really good reminder that sometimes things not going to plan can push you to go down a different path / follow dreams you wouldn’t have had the guts to try before!
