A former grade one teacher turned photographer and “queen of side hustles,” Jen sits down with Tevi for an honest, behind‑the‑scenes tour of the side hustle world—what actually works, what quietly flops, and what to watch out for as the online landscape shifts. From her early days teaching yoga and doing nails to building a thriving photography business and exploring everything from Etsy and print‑on‑demand to network marketing, Amazon reviews, affiliate marketing, digital products, and UGC, Jen shares the real story behind each income stream—numbers, time investment, and emotional cost included.You’ll hear how she replaced her teaching salary so she could be more present with her kids, scaled photography until she hit a hard ceiling on time and income, and then discovered the power of online, more leveraged side hustles that can be run from home on her own schedule. Jen breaks down why network marketing became her first truly life‑changing income source, how she earned over six figures a year, what ultimately made her step back, and the lessons she wishes she’d learned earlier about diversification and treating opportunities like a business instead of a “family.”

The conversation dives into practical, modern side hustles almost anyone can try: selling digital backdrops and mockups on Etsy, experimenting with print‑on‑demand, building affiliate income through tools she genuinely uses, and creating Amazon review videos that continue to pay her long after she hit upload. She explains how AI has disrupted certain spaces—like product mockups and digital designs—why human, imperfect content is becoming more valuable again, and how social media algorithms and audience‑building realities have changed the game for creators starting now.

Throughout the episode, Jen and Tevi keep it refreshingly real about the effort it takes to build an audience, why some people explode quickly while others grind for months, and how to decide which side hustles best fit your personality, risk tolerance, and season of life. If you’ve been side‑eyeing network marketing, curious about Amazon reviews, or wondering whether digital marketing and UGC are overhyped or genuinely worth pursuing, this episode offers grounded insight, encouragement, and a candid roadmap for building multiple streams of income without losing your sanity—or your values—along the way.
