I was laid off 9 mo ago...here's how it's going.

[@chloeshih]

YOO - so about that question I asked around what kind of creator I am...would love to hear your thoughts! 👀 This director of social media at a HUGE agency said that she pitches me as a "lifestyle creator with an emphasis on career". Someone else in the comments said i'm a "pathfinder" or "compass" content creator! taking notes here!! tysm 🙏

[@omgalexvee]

I know that you two are still somewhat newly married but it made me uncomfortable how you needed to justify your income and contributions to the home. As a couple you share a lot including funds so I don't think a bad thing if you weren't fully supporting yourself or if he contributed more during this period of time. I think normalizing this is important. I know not all couples have joint accounts but I know I was recently laid off I was so thankful to have the support of my husband's income and a healthy amount of savings to ride this wave. Being able to not assign my worth to my (lack) of personal income was huge.

[@chloeshih]

hi alex! aw thank you for sharing your 2c. i appreciate your perspective as someone who is further down the line in marriage. i think you're right to normalize that it is perfectly alright to financially support each other. in retrospect, i wish i added a line on that. kevin and i are still in the middle of figuring out how to merge finances. it's been such a busy year that we haven't made much progress, but hoping to prioritize it in Q4 before the end of the year. "Being able to not assign my worth to my (lack) of personal income was huge." this line totally hit me. i feel like the "badass corporate girl" dream is so ingrained me that it's hard for me to detach, but gotta remind myself that it's okay to let go. thanks for sharing that sentiment!

[@chloeshih]

@@rosquared yoo can i ask - what was your experience like navigating this? o_o to an extent, i think i know my worth, but that's only above a certain threshold. i feel i still subconsciously subscribe to the notion that your value and worth are tied to your career, money, and character. 🥲 more inner work is needed for sure.

[@fraffee]

Chloe, for me, you're a "pathfinder content creator" or "compass content creator" as your content helps people navigate life in general. Since work is such a big part of life, hobbies, family, etc. which you show in varying amounts in your content. WHICH I LOVE

[@chloeshih]

OOO i've never heard of anyone call my content or me that before. i kind of love it, but i also don't think i would know what that means if i didn't already have context on my content. D: it would take a few more explanations and examples to describe what that means. i totally get where you're coming from though. i do think i cover a *lot* of topics x_x. i wish it could be more consistent and predictable, but life be like that sometimes! thank u for appreciating the variety ~

It was so hard to get back up after my lay off, almost a year until i could get another job, so i am glad i was able to have you in my back pocket. Love your podcast by the way! Please talk more about product management and being in the tech world! And as well as money management! I would love to have more insight in how you have navigated all that!

This video is exactly what I needed, a kind and gentle reminder that it’s ok to take some time off for myself I’ve quit my job in tech a little over 2 months ago now because I was so burned out and just couldn’t continue anymore And basically ever since I have been having constant internal dialogue whether it was the right thing to do or what is the right thing to do next. Anxiety creeps in like that slowly from time to time. And then I remember, ah, it’s OK, I will find something that will truly resonate with me. And in the meantime just enjoy a lot of me-time and rest Thank you Chloe ❤

[@chloeshih]

noda, i'm so glad to hear this. congratulations on quitting your job! i know it was the right decision for you, and it's 100% okay to take some time off for yourself. no one else can do that for you but you. anxiety does creep into us all, but hope you know that i completely support your decision. you've put in your time and effort. you've probably very likely overworked there, and now you deserve your well-earned break. your break will bring even more opportunities to you!! sending love from LA ~

ah omg i did the same thing I quit in june cause I was so burnt out and my mental health was not great and now I'm unsure if it was the right decision especially given how tough the market is these days. the pay was good and i couldn't summon the energy to study for interviews or change careers so i felt like i had to stay. enjoy your me time and hope you find something that works for you!

I stumbled across one of your PM videos a few months ago and also saw your layoff video. Then I found your JOMO channel(I love the content btw) and now this video. You said a lot of interesting things about your life and perspective on things, but the thing that stood out most to me was when you talked about hiring your own team and that whole experience. I’m also a very tech/planner girl, loves content creation(gave up a lot but kept coming back because I love the whole process), and also think think my “creative” side is too weak compared to my strengths so I feel like when I watch your videos, it’s like watching a version of my future self(if I were to go down a similar path). Your journey is truly inspiring and it reminds me that it's possible to create a path that aligns with my passions. I appreciate your honesty and the insights you share; they motivate me to keep pushing forward and embrace my own journey in content creation. Thank you for being such a positive influence!

[@HighEnd-S]

Today’s software industry, as I often describe it, feels like a “monkey business.” It reminds me of the countless street musicians playing for a few coins. The deeper issue lies in modern city life-essentially a massive prison. From a young age, people are funneled into the same path: school, college, university, graduation, and then a career tethered to a laptop. But amidst this race to build a “laptop life,” who is left to plant the tomatoes, raise the chickens, or bake the bread that everyone depends on? This disconnect reveals a fundamental flaw in how we structure our priorities and sustain ourselves as a society.
