The 1-Hour A Day Side Hustle Podcast
I’m Sharon, HR leader, working mom, and proof that it’s never too late to start (I'm building at 51!).
This podcast is my unfiltered 12-month experiment: can you really sign clients in just 1 hour a day, build a lifestyle business, and 'retire' in 5 years, without fear of career risk, burnout, or hustling 24/7?
Each week, I share:
- The messy behind-the-scenes of building my business while working full-time in HR and raising kids
- Mindset, Energy, and Systems (my MES Framework) that help working moms sign clients safely
- Honest stories - the wins, the fails, and the pivots - so you can see what’s truly possible
Because 'retirement' doesn’t mean sitting around doing nothing. It means having the freedom to work because you want to, not because you have to.
If you’re a working mom who’s ready to create flexibility, fulfillment, and financial freedom - all in 1 hour a day - this show is for you.
