some side hustle gems for your ears (#374)
Thank you so much for all of the congratulations and support on my first paid speaking gig of the year! I’m really pumped about this new income stream and looking forward to what comes next!
In other news, if you could use a little side hustle wisdom on your next walk, you might enjoy my recent interview/chat with the fabulous Meg McKeen, who hosts the Bound & Determined podcast.
We talk about reasons to start a side hustle (beyond just money!), the challenges of getting started, and the surprising joys of hobbies.
I love the way Meg describes our topics:
✨ Feeling misaligned but also risk averse? Maybe a side gig can help.
✨ How do you take the first, clumsy step in creating your side hustle?
✨ What if it doesn’t work out? The risk of telling everyone – and also no one – about your new thing.
✨ You probably don’t have time for a side hustle. Or maybe you do?
✨ Granny hobbies. I have one. Do you?
✨ If you answer to “Overwhelmed” these days, Jess shares a not-easy-but-worth-it first step to making space in your busy life.
If you need permission to explore your side hustle curiosity, this episode is for you! A big thanks to Meg for being such a fantastic host!
Podcasts are a fun way for me to share knowledge and have engaging conversations. Hope you enjoy it!
On to the picks!

The Purpose of Your Life Is to Choose a Lifestyle
An oldie but goodie. You get to design your life in a way that works for you.
“Lifestyle design can be as simple as writing down how you want to earn a living, what your hobbies will be, how you’ll spend your money, who you will spend your time with, what you will believe, how you will act, where you will live, and how much time you dedicate towards your family.”
