Building a Creator Career After Corporate Layoffs
Monday, 9 February, 2026
Building a creator career after corporate layoffs comes with pressure most people don’t talk about. In this episode, Madison Butler breaks down what it really means to build a creator career after corporate when content becomes your income, not your hobby. Together, Rhona and Madison unpack what happens when professionals—especially Black women—are pushed out of corporate roles and forced to build visibility, stability, and leverage online in real time. This isn’t about going viral. It’s about survival, grief, monetization, and staying honest when the algorithm doesn’t play fair. You’ll hear a raw conversation about job loss, biased platforms, parasocial pressure, and why building a creator career after corporate requires a very different mindset than “just post more.” What You’ll Learn Why content creation feels different when your income depends on it The grief that comes with a forced career pivot How algorithms reward different creators differently Why a small, loyal audience beats a massive following The hidden cost of being “authentic” online How Madison thinks about monetization vs. visibility Why comparison destroys joy in creator careers Resources Mentioned: Buy Madison's Book: https://amzn.to/4rBrUlY Join The Black Speakers Collection: https://blackspeakersco.com/ Subscribe to Rhona's Newsletter: https://link.rhonapierce.com/newsletter2 Connect With Us: Connect with Madison: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bluehairedunicorn/ Connect with Rhona: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhonabarnettpierce/ Want to turn your team into creators?
