🎧 Ever look at your bank account after Christmas and feel your stomach drop a little? Credit cards are higher than we’d like, personal property taxes and insurance renewals are rolling in, and the cost of living keeps quietly stacking up. In this episode of the Dream Doers Podcast, host Jana Marie speaks directly to that moment, the one where you start thinking about a side gig… and immediately talk yourself out of it because your plate already feels full.

This episode is not about hustle culture or doing more. It’s about creating margin. Jana reframes side gigs as passion projects, things you already love, already do, and already talk about, that can gently support your life financially without overwhelming you. She walks through five realistic, low-pressure side gigs that work in busy seasons, healing seasons, and real life, breaking down how to get started, time and cost expectations, and why having multiple income streams can bring both peace and flexibility.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t have the time, energy, or money to start something new, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the best opportunities are already right in front of you.
