Meet My Friend Nicaila!

🎙️ LINK TO EPISODE 431: How To Move Forward With Your Side Hustle

Okay, so Nicaila and I are technically not BFFs (we’ve never met), but she feels like a friend because her story completely shifted my mindset.

You know that reflex we all have on social media—seeing someone’s success and assuming they’ve got it easy? Yeah, same. I’d catch myself thinking, “They must be rich, lucky, or just naturally better at life.” Spoiler alert: they’re not. And neither is Nicaila.

The only difference between her success and where I want to be is the hours she’s poured into her goals. Her secret sauce? Hard work + consistency. That’s it. And in this episode of Side Hustle Pro, she spills all the tea:

✨ Keep trying. If one thing doesn’t work, pivot and try again.

✨ Don’t let a setback bench you. You’re the coach!

✨ Revive what matters to you—dreams don’t have expiration dates.

That last one hit me hard. Nicaila talked about reviving her blog, and wow, did that strike a nerve. I took a 10-month blogging hiatus because...well, life. But earlier this week, I asked myself:

“Why are you sitting on the bench when you’re the coach and the game is your life?”

🏈 Yeah, it was a literal game changer! The coach decides who plays, and I’m done watching from the sidelines while everyone else crushes their goals.

Nicaila’s story reminded me: it’s not about perfection; it’s about showing up. Her podcast is all about building confidence, staying consistent, and shutting out the noise that isn't helpful. You should check out episode #431 because she not only gives tips, but she talks about how they manifested in her life.

Definitely listen to these key moments:

⏰ 04:00 – Get down to business

📋 05:30 – Prioritize what moves the needle

📆 08:30 – Own your schedule

🪞 10:00 – Affirm yourself

💡 13:00 – Vulnerability is power

🔎 15:30 – Find your calling

🛑 20:00 – Block out the haters

So here I am, back at the blog, ready to rediscover, rebuild, and share. If you’re ready to focus on your potential and live your most fulfilled life, let’s do it together.

Follow along as I chronicle my journey, share lessons, and dish out all the tools and inspiration I find along the way. Because if I can do this, trust me—you can too.

Stay tuned. We’ve got work to do. 💪🏾
