Welcome to The Side Business Momentum Newsletter! For women who’ve already started their side business—and want to build serious momentum. Not on the list? Join here! Hey Girl, Welcome Back! Let me tell you—this was a lesson I had to learn the hard way. For the longest time, I was trying to help everyone. I was casting this giant net, hoping somebody—anybody—would bite. You know what finally showed me I was heading in the right direction? I started losing subscribers. Sounds backwards, right?...

Welcome to The Side Business Momentum Newsletter! For women who’ve already started their side business—and want to build serious momentum. Not on the list? Join here! Hey Girl, Welcome Back! When I first started sharing my business publicly, I was excited but also unexpectedly nervous. I had so many ideas and strategies I wanted to offer, but every time I sat down to post or send an email, I hesitated. I wondered if people would see me as a “real” expert or just someone playing business...

It’s 9:47 PM. You’ve finally collapsed on the couch after a day of back-to-back meetings, family obligations, and a commute that felt twice as long as usual. Your phone dings with a calendar reminder: “Work on side business.” You close your eyes and groan. When exactly were you supposed to find time for that between your presentation to the executive team, your kid’s soccer practice, and the basic human need to occasionally eat something that isn’t from a drive-thru? Tomorrow, you tell...

Okay, let’s be real. Has this ever happened to you? You’re chatting with someone—maybe a friend you haven’t seen in forever, someone at a networking event, or (eek!) a potential dream client. Then they ask THE question: “So… what do you do?” And suddenly, your brain just… freezes. You blurt out your job title and immediately regret it. Or you start rambling and five minutes later, even YOU don’t know what you’re talking about anymore. Or you keep it super short, but it’s so vague they just...

Selling has been taught as something sleazy, manipulative, and pushy. So naturally, we want no part of it. Instead, we do everything but sell: Post content, hoping people will magically ask to work with...

In 2016, Tori Dunlap was working a 9-to-5 marketing job, just like everyone else. No big platform. No fancy connections. Just a side hustle teaching women how to take control of their finances. She could have waited. Waited for a bigger audience. Waited to feel “ready.” Waited for someone to notice her. But instead, she took action. ✔ She answered finance questions in Facebook groups. ✔ She posted simple, helpful money tips online. ✔ She made her first offers before she had a massive...
