From Side Hustle to Full-time Hustle with Bridget Johns

The Lorraine Murphy Show

This week’s episode opens with an update from me on overwhelm and my quest to create more spaciousness in my business and life while we’re in this season as a family.  Overwhelm is a very real challenge for many of the women in my community, and - as you’d expect from me - I’ll always share the real story of what’s happening behind the scenes.

And then - hooray!  Another mentee case file episode this week.  Bridget Johns is a declutter coach who helps her clients declutter their homes, phones, calendars and minds via her business Be Simply Free. Bridget and I worked together to establish her nascent side hustle as a viable business that she could grow in order to step out of her public service career.

If you’ve got a side hustle you’ve been nurturing, this episode is a must listen for you!

In our chat, Bridget shares:

  • A background of her career 
  • Where her side hustle was at prior to our first session together
  • What the tipping point was to up the ante on establishing a viable side hustle
  • The key question she asked herself to unlock the motivation to make the changes
  • The first steps she took towards making those changes happen
  • The factors she took into account when reducing and restructuring her government role
  • What her business looks like now
  • The biggest learnings she’s had on the journey
  • The next horizon she’s working towards  
  • The advice she wants to pass on to other side hustlers aiming to do what she has done 
  • Her biggest declutter tip (it’s a good ‘un!)
