    Business Growth Without Playing the Algorithm Game

    Episode 106 - Show Notes In this episode, Christal sits down with Megan Walsh, a New Jersey-based nurse and the creative force behind the thriving Etsy shop, Megan’s Menagerie.  What started as a stress-relieving hobby during nursing school evolved into a full-fledged side hustle bringing in over $9,800/month - all while Megan continues working part-time as a nurse. Megan opens up about how her background in nursing and her experience during the COVID-19 pandemic led her to rediscover her passion for hands-on creativity.  She shares the journey of turning aromatic eucalyptus and floral wall decor into a profitable business, how she manages her time between hospital shifts and order fulfilment, and why nurses need a financial fallback - especially during uncertain times like union strikes. Here are the highlights: Megan's Nursing Career and Initial Business Ventures (1:51) Transition to Eucalyptus and Floral Wall Decor (10:46) Challenges and Successes on Etsy (13:29) Marketing and Customer Engagement (20:16) Advice for Aspiring Nurse Entrepreneurs (23:15) Connect with Megan: Etsy Instagram Connect with Kiiyonna and Christal: Kiiyonna's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sidepreneur_nurse/ Christal's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/christalpthehormonenp Nurse Boss Mob Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2906101896370538 YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/kiiyonna/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sidepreneurrn?lang=en

    The Ripple Effect of Showing Up

    We made it to 100 episodes - and this one’s got everything. From client wins to personal turning points, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of a ribbon-cutting event that had me reflecting hard on the power of showing up (even when it’s uncomfortable).  We’ll discuss Nate, a shy but determined nursepreneur who pushed past overstimulation and fear to launch a practice that’s already changing lives - and I’ll unpack how moments like his ripple into so much more than we realise. I also take you back to my early teaching days and the moment I almost said no to an opportunity that ended up shaping my entire career.  If you’re still arguing for your limitations - “I’m too shy,” “I don’t know how,” “Now’s not the right time” - this is the mindset shift you didn’t know you needed. Let this be your reminder that the ripple effect starts with you. Here are the highlights: Nate's Business Launch and Personal Growth (0:49) Kiiyonna's Personal Journey and Overcoming Comfort Zones (4:12) The Ripple Effect of Taking Action (6:48) Encouragement and Final Thoughts (11:03) Connect with Kiiyonna and Christal: Kiiyonna's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sidepreneur_nurse/ Christal's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/christalpthehormonenp Nurse Boss Mob Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2906101896370538 YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/kiiyonna/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sidepreneurrn?lang=en
