A 31-year-old mortgage broker who's been laid off twice decided to open a bakery and she's never been happier: 'I don't have the stress of wondering if I'm going to be laid off tomorrow'

While away from lending, Audet tapped into a hobby of hers that she always enjoyed: baking. During the pandemic, she baked for friends and family and started to hone her skills — her specialty: strawberry cheesecake cupcakes.

"People were asking me to make them things for events and really supporting small, locally owned businesses during COVID," she said."I was like, 'You know what, let's go ahead and make this an actual side business.'"— which remained a side business as she took a job as a corporate trainer in 2020. ," and faculty member at Columbia University, New York University and UCLA, building up a secondary skill while working is a good way to brace for layoffs.

"You have to be ready in order to get ready," Joseph told Insider."You have to be prepared, and the best way to be prepared is to diversify your skill sets.""We heard at the beginning of the year that layoffs might start happening," Audet said."So I had started to map out this plan of what I wanted it to look like if I opened my own business.

"I don't have the stress of wondering if I'm going to be laid off tomorrow," she said."I'll have new worries now, but that's all within my control as the business owner and not in somebody else's control. I'm excited, I feel good, and I'm happy."Subscribe to push notifications
