when i started working on side hustles from home, i had no idea how quickly i would get overwhelmed with the workload 🥲 i was so frustrated by how many nap times i’d lose to doomscrolling bc i lacked a routine and couldn’t find the right tools or systems to manage everything from our finances to content creation. getting the right setup in place has made all the difference in staying consistent, even with unexpected financial setbacks. here are the tools i use consistently: • capcut: for video

spent months paying down debt and covering expense after expense… only to still end up right back at baby step 1 🙇🏻‍♀️ that’s where we are this month. august was not good to us 🤡 things just kept breaking. our truck, our plumbing, little things around the house, and then the biggest expense: our AC $$$ it completely drained our emergency fund so we’re officially back at dave ramsey’s baby step 1: saving a $1,000 starter emergency fund. last week i made $430 from freelancing. normally every ext

8 months in, i still get nervous every time i hit record. i spent months climbing “cringe mountain” to get here. i still doubt my own ideas, second-guess my content, and ask my husband to leave the house when i have to film 🤡 if you want to post your first video and don’t know where or how to start, here are some tips that helped me (and things i still have to remind myself sometimes): 1. talk to the camera like you’re talking to 1 person 2. film in your car, your closet, or wherever you feel l

“how do you do it all with 2 kids at home with you all day?” if i had a quarter for every time i got asked this question, i’d be so much further along on my debt payoff journey 😆 before i built this system, nap time was pure chaos. i was writing every task down on sticky notes, losing things in my notes app, and wasting the first half hour of nap time just figuring out what to do. being a stay at home mom of two toddlers already feels like juggling multiple full time jobs. this is the tool i us

when it comes to picking side hustles, they have to fit into nap time or after bedtime, and i’m not going into more debt for inventory 🙃 print on demand is a great side hustle if you’re a mom with zero extra storage or physical space to store inventory or you work in small pockets of time. you get all the benefits of selling physical products without touching boxes or spending money upfront. 1. create 2 free accounts: @canva and @printify 2. design your artwork on canva (quotes, simple line art,

i didn’t start budgeting until my mid-thirties. for most of my life i thought a budget would just stop me from buying what i wanted so i didn’t do it 😅 when my husband and i started budgeting together, it fiiinally clicked.. i’m allowed to buy the things i want. i just have to budget for it first. when i know it fits, there’s no guilt and no buyer’s remorse (which i used to have SO much of!!) here are the unsexy, repeatable habits that let us live on one income as a family of 4: 1. a simple skin

$1,530 of unexpected expenses in 4 days 🥲 we hired house cleaners for the first time last month. i did the math.. it said we could afford it without touching our debt payoff plan. then last weekend happened 🙄 - our AC went out ($300, went 8 hours w/o AC in texas OMG) - alternator died on our truck ($993) - plumbing issues ($480) not a huge tragedy.. just not ideal! 7 months ago this would’ve wrecked me. i would’ve spiraled, canceled the cleaners, and felt like we were back at zero. but i’m actu

next chunk i’m knocking out - * $500: ugc (done, waiting on $) * $2,100: 4 ig reels (need to script & film) in january i was making $0, 4 months postpartum, and overwhelmed by $18k we were only making minimum payments on. i remember watching other moms make money online and could not wrap my head around HOW. i decided i’d start and figure things out along the way. 7 months later: almost $9k paid, plus thousands in unexpected expenses covered 😵‍💫 we’re a family of 4 on one income. i need to kno

i used #wix harmony during nap time to finally build the website i've been putting off for years. i've been doing UGC, freelance design, and coaching from home and i still didn't have one place for clients to see everything i do. picked a template and used their ai tool (aria) to make updates that felt more like me. added my pages and dropped in my photos. no coding needed. motherhood gives you nap time and maybe a few hours after bedtime, so when something lets me get real work done in those sm

i quit my job in 2023 to be home with my kids. money got tight. 7 months ago in january, i set a goal to make an extra $500/month from side hustles and i remember how scary that felt. that number feels silly to me now, but it felt huge back then! i think if i aimed for anything higher, i would have psyched myself out and never started this journey. i’ve been consistently earning four figures for the past 3 months and it feels really good to be able to contribute financially without having to go
