Ep30. Redundancy, Restructure & Reality Checks: Why Starting a Side Hustle Is No Longer Optional


Listen Later

Redundancy isn't just a career curveball.

It's a wake-up call.

In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what really happens when job security disappears overnight - and why building a side business is no longer a “maybe one day” move. It’s the smartest way to take back control of your income, your career, and your future.

You’ll hear:

  • The emotional + financial spiral most people fall into after redundancy
  •  Why your next job might not be the right move - and what to do instead
  •  What a financial runway really is (and how to build one fast)
  •  The mistake most people make when trying to start a business in crisis mode
  •  Why a side hustle is the new job security
  •  Exactly where to start - whether you’re still in your 9–5 or already in between jobs


Whether you’re still in a job or facing unexpected change, this conversation will help you rethink security, explore your next step, and start building your own income options with clarity and strategy.

Plus, I’ll walk you through what to do (and what to avoid) if you’ve just been made redundant, and how to use this moment to build long-term career freedom.
