A question I get asked all the time is:“How do you manage to build a side hustle next to a 9–5 job?”

Even though I quit my job last week, those tips are still relevant for you because they helped me start my business next to my 9-5.

In this episode, I’m sharing the three most important principles that helped me build my business efficiently and sustainably without hustle, burnout, or forcing myself into systems that don’t align with my introverted energy.

You’ll hear about:

* Why mornings became my quiet superpower (and why waking up earlier should never mean sleeping less)

* How learning to say no changed my energy, focus, and progress

* Why focus and flow matter more than motivation, and how I create them in my daily life

This isn’t about doing more.It’s about designing your days in a way that works with your energy, not against it.

If you’re an introvert with big goals, balancing a full-time job and a dream you don’t want to let go of, this episode will help you rethink how you use your time calmly, intentionally, and on your own terms.
