At 57 years old, I lost my corporate job.
I definitely didn’t see it coming. After years of building a successful corporate career, suddenly that chapter of my life was over.
But here’s the crazy part: losing my job didn’t feel like the end.
In many ways, it felt like the push I needed to finally step fully into something I’d already been building for years—Miko Slays Fashion and my life as a full-time content creator.
In the video below, I’m sharing the real story behind my layoff, what happened afterward, and some of the very practical questions people have asked me, including how I’m paying my bills, what I did about healthcare, and whether my husband supports my decision.
And yes, we’re even going back to my 20s, when I filed bankruptcy twice. 😩 Because believe it or not, some of the hardest financial lessons I learned back then helped prepare me for what happened at 57.
