## Resource

What happens when losing your job becomes the best thing that ever happened to you? In this episode of Telling My Story, we sit down with business, marketing, and sales coach Chloé Midy, who turned a pandemic layoff into a thriving location-independent business. After being let go from her Head of Marketing role during COVID, Chloé started freelancing with no clear plan and earned just €1,200 in her first month. Within a year, she scaled to consistent €5K+ months and has since built a freedom-first business while working across more than 36 countries.
