I gave myself a raise 💰

Traveling is what I love.

My recent travels Include: ITALY, ICELAND, AMSTERDAM.

I got serious about my goals and I realized my full time nursing job alone isn’t going to do it. So I gave myself a raise! Simple.

I started a side hustle that I could do passively around my life and work and saved my coins!

Freelance digital marketers make an average of $14,000 a month… I didn’t believe it at first but I’m surpassed that immensely myself.

So much so that I walked away from nursing in March so I can travel some more 🥹👏👏🫶🏻

Don’t underestimate the power of a side hustle..

It changed our reality.

If you want info on what i do you can slide in my DM Or check out my page! I talk a lot about it on there!

Traveling is a dream for many, and financial independence can make that dream a reality. In today's gig economy, side hustles not only offer extra income but can sometimes replace a full-time job altogether. Popular side hustles include freelance digital marketing, tutoring, and e-commerce, which can be done flexibly around one’s primary job. Many individuals have shared their success stories online, often citing how they grew their side businesses through strategic use of social media and networking. This article emphasizes the importance of being proactive about your financial goals. If you find a need in the market, seize the opportunity! Building a passive income stream can give you the freedom to travel, learn, and experience life fully without the constraints of traditional employment. Whether you're considering a career change, like moving away from nursing as in this story, or just looking to supplement your income, the potential is there. Dive into this lifestyle by developing skills that align with your passions and monetize them effectively. Remember, every journey starts with a single step, and given the success stories of many, including those in digital marketing, pursuing that side hustle might just lead you to the financial freedom you've been dreaming of.

The First Time I Called a Timeout… and Got Ignored

I was maybe four months into the OR when I had to lead a surgical timeout in a high-stress trauma case. A timeout is when the circulating nurse does one final check out loud with the entire OR staff to make sure everyone is on the same page prior to the surgical incision. Everyone was rushing to ge

A shopping cart filled with various groceries, including eggs, berries, packaged meals, and salad kits, parked in a parking lot. A receipt showing a total of $190.84 is visible. The image has a text overlay: 'What my side hustle paid for today...'

Why I started a side hustle…

Because groceries are disrespectfully expensive. $190 on a few things.. I was over being stressed + complaining so I did something about it. I gave myself a raise to fight inflation and now I’m at peace. I’m increased my income instead of pinching Penny’s and cutting back on things we love.
