    Turn What You Love Into a Side Hustle with Bart Merrell

    Your next stream of income may already be hiding inside something you know, enjoy, need, or have experienced. In this episode of Unbreakable Mompreneurs, Charisse Walker sits down with Bart Merrell, the “Side Hustle Samurai,” to explore how ordinary skills and life experiences can become meaningful sources of income. Bart helps people identify their ideal side hustle by examining what they enjoy, what they need, and what they are already doing. Instead of pushing a predetermined opportunity, he helps people discover possibilities within their own unique lives. Bart has created multiple income streams through dog training, international exports, rental real estate, AI-generated music, app development, and other ventures. He also shares the moving story of having his lower left leg amputated and transforming that difficult experience into an opportunity to support other amputees. Today, a prosthetist compensates Bart to help patients prepare for and adjust to life after an amputation. Bart and Charisse discuss how to recognize potential income opportunities, use AI to create new services and products, evaluate whether an idea fits your desired lifestyle, and become comfortable with failure. Bart also explains why a side hustle does not necessarily mean small income—it simply means the venture began on the side. You will hear why Bart turned down an opportunity with nearly risk-free funding, how adopting an untrained Rottweiler led to a dog-training business, and why asking “How can I monetize this?” can completely change how you see your skills and circumstances.

    Reclaiming Your Inner Authority with Natalie Bouchard

    Are you truly growing—or are you using constant learning, coaching, and healing to avoid what your life is trying to show you? Natalie Bouchard joins Charisse Walker to discuss how women can stop seeking permission, return to their center, and reclaim their inner authority. Natalie is a Cohesion Architect who helps women move beyond fragmentation, outside validation, and survival mode so they can trust their own direction. After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on personal development, earning 12 healing designations, losing a significant amount of money in a business scam, becoming a single mother, and facing serious health concerns, Natalie watched nearly everything in her life collapse. Through that experience, she realized she had accumulated tremendous knowledge while continuing to borrow other people’s methods, answers, and authority. In this candid conversation, Natalie and Charisse explore why women often look to coaches, partners, and outside experts for containment; how survival mode can appear as endless self-improvement; and why facing reality without judgment or avoidance can lead to greater clarity and stability. They also discuss motherhood, divorce, generational patterns, transparent parenting, telling children the truth without controlling their choices, and allowing real-life consequences to become powerful teachers. Natalie shares her free three-module experience, Bump It Like It’s Hot, which introduces her process for facing life’s “bumps,” returning to center, and reconnecting with natural authority.
