Are you thinking about starting a side-hustle? Or are you currently balancing a side-hustle with work, school, or a family? This latest series: The Side Hustle Shuffle is for you. 

The purpose of this new series is to inspire creators and creatives out there to pursue their side hustle. We all know it’s truly a hustle to shuffle between work, school, family, rest, and your passions, but it is possible. We’ll be speaking with the creators currently balancing their creator side-hustles in the next few weeks. And they’ll be sharing how they got their creative side-hustles started, what tools they use, and how they balance it all. 

To kick off this new series, I’ll be sharing three tips for balancing your side-hustle. While it’s been a few years since I’ve taken Emma’s Edition full-time, I did balance my creative side-hustle for 6 years.
