When people join our mentoring program, I often hear the same worry:
"I’d love to invest, but there’s nothing left at the end of the month."
That’s why I invited today’s guest onto the show.
Meet

Whether she uses it for investing or not is secondary, but I wanted her to be on our show so we can talk to her about how she's actually managing it.
How is she able to generate that income using Substack and other means?
And how can others learn from her example as a true Supermom, as I call her, someone who found a way to create additional income that she and her husband could one day use to build a portfolio of investments?
I invited her on the show to be exactly that: an inspiring example.
She openly shares the lessons, wisdom, and behind-the-scenes of growing her part-time Substack as a non-native writer.
This is a masterclass in turning your part-time writing into wealth - without burning out.
So, if you’ve been telling yourself:
✅ “I want to start a side hustle, but I don’t have enough time.”
✅ “I’m worried my content won’t reach anyone because of algorithms.”
✅ “I don’t know how to turn my writing into a business.”
Then this is your episode.
Enjoy!
