180k in stocks 32f, recently laid off from my job wondering if i can trade to make income instead of finding a new role?

i have about 180k in stocks currently, my monthly expenses hover around 1000-1100 total. i am waiting for my ei to come in and will investing as much as i can from it. i really don’t want to go back into the workforce since the application/hiring process is desolate (im in hr myself so i’ve seen it first hand) and with advancements in ai i think another layoff would be possible anyways even if i found a new role. would it be possible to start trading part of my portfolio instead to generate income instead of going back to a 9-5? i was going to give until my ei ran out to try and focus on covered calls (nothing too risky) but would like to hear opinions.
