I’ve tried more side hustles than I can count—some flopped, some worked, and a few changed my life. In this post, I’m sharing the three hustles that still work for me today, plus what I’ve learned about building income that fits real life as a single mom.
Divorce and loss hit hard, emotionally, mentally, and financially. After losing my father and ending my marriage, I found myself nearly $80K in debt and facing the harsh reality of starting over. Between grief, motherhood, and survival mode, I learned that rebuilding isn’t just about money, it’s about discipline, focus, and confronting hard truths. With God’s guidance, a steady paycheck, and a renewed sense of direction, I’m budgeting, paying down debt, and reclaiming my life. Starting over costs more than money, but it’s also empowering, and I’m learning to embrace the life, and the person, I’m becoming.
Regardless if you own a business or you have specific personal life goals you’re looking to achieve, here’s what you should be focusing on during the half way mark of the year.
