Your Little Side Hustle:

Building an Online Business for Budding Therapists & Life Coaches

Hi, I'm Lauren.

I’m a licensed mental health professional, trauma expert, and healing-centered shadow work coach for women of color.

I would also like to be your mentor and help you open up a side hustle.

In addition to my full-time job in community mental health leadership, I also run two side hustles as a private practice therapist and shadow work coach, generating an extra 4-figures working only 8-15 hours a month.

If you have the time, a little money to invest in yourself and the commitment to providing a service to the community with integrity…. I WANT TO WORK WITH YOU.

You need to join me this summer.

You’ve Got Knowledge Worth Sharing

You’ve learned a lot—through school, through life, and through your own inner work.
Now you're ready to turn that wisdom into impact and income.

But let’s be real:

You’re not trying to become an influencer.

You don’t have a fancy business degree.

You just want to help people, do something meaningful, and earn extra income doing it.

Sound like you?
Then you’re in the right place.

Imagine This:

You create a simple service or offer based on what you know
You attract people who need exactly what you’ve been through
You help others grow, heal, learn—or just feel seen—and they thank you (and pay you) for it
You build a reputation doing work that lights you up—on your terms.

What You’ll Learn in This Program:

How to package your education, life experience, or self-mastery into a clear offer
How to find your niche—even if you feel like “you’re not an expert”
How to attract your first paying clients (without feeling salesy)
Simple systems to build and grow your side hustle part-time

You don’t need to be “further along.”
You just need a framework, a strategy, and a push to start.

Let’s Start Building Your Little Side Hustle From Scratch

You bring the wisdom.
I’ll help you turn it into something real—something that changes lives (including yours).

WHAT ARE SOME

EXAMPLES OF

ONLINE SIDE

HUSTLES YOU

CAN MANIFEST?

  • Just because you’re not licensed doesn’t mean you can’t start a side hustle! It just won’t be doing therapy.

    Master’s Level therapists can be parent coaches, private consultants for families and couples or shadow work coaches like me! The trick is to know what you want to help people do, learn or achieve based on your education, personal passions and lived experience. Then you can start coaching people online or teaching workshops!

  • If you’ve been practicing tarot for so long that you know each card and their symbology by heart, you’re probably a great person to teach someone else what you know.

    There are many people who are curious about the insights and wisdom that come from oracle reading and there are many people who consult tarot but don’t know how to read them!

  • You can sell your recommendations online. Ask people what exercises they want to learn then send them videos of you doing them! Bonus if you ask them to send videos of them working out to you so you can give them tips on improving their form.

    A nutritionist can create an online form where clients can input their dietary needs and then you create a grocery list, recipe guide and meal planner in a pretty package made on canva.

  • You can be a sounding board for new poets who want to practice their writing and performance skills. Host a weekly online writing salon for 6 weeks and on the 7th week have everyone select their favorite poem and recite it at an online poetry slam where they invite their families and friends.

This private

coaching

is NOT for you if:

  • You already have an established business and are looking to scale — this space is for beginners

  • You’re expecting to make fast cash overnight — we’re building rooted, sustainable growth, not chasing hustle culture

  • You want your business to be your sole source of income right away — this is about building a nourishing side hustle

  • You’re not open to exploring spirituality, decolonization, or soul-led business practices

  • You don’t vibe with group containers — this is a collective space where connection matters

  • You aren’t ready to do some inner work while you build your outer brand

  • You don’t have money to invest in your side hustle (newsflash: it isn’t free!)

This private

coaching

is for you if:

  • You’re a graduate student, pre-licensed, licensed mental health therapist craving more creative freedom (and cash flow) outside the agency grind

  • You have lived experience in the mental health system and have worked as a counselor, peer advocate or group facilitator and want to use those skills to make your own money.

  • You want to build something that honors your identity, centers your values, and breaks cycles.

  • You’re done waiting for “permission” to start and ready to get paid for your power

  • You’re willing to invest additional money on a Squarespace website to launch your online presence

  • You’re willing to invest time and energy on marketing yourself and letting the world know exactly who you are and who you came to serve.

What you’ll get:

  • Group Mentoring Calls & Coworking Hours to have scheduled time to work on your side hustle and receive the support you need as you build

  • Reflective and real time feedback on your homework, projects and offerings via Voxer 2 days a week

  • Self Reflection Worksheets to help you narrow down your service focus and create messaging that speaks to your perfect client

  • Templates + Scripts for your “I’m open for business” post, launch strategy and first consultation call

  • Bonus Group Past Life Journey Session: “Clearing Out Karmic Money Blocks” - you’re gonna freakin’ love this one.

  • Access to 1:1 Personal Healing Sessions with me to help breakthrough personal barries for a discounted hourly rate.

What you’ll

walk away with:

  • Clarity on Your Niche: Identify the audience you most want to serve and how to reach them outside of traditional therapy.

  • Offer Development: Learn how to package your skills into workshops, courses, or coaching programs that feel authentic.

  • Aligned Marketing: Discover simple, values-driven ways to promote your work without feeling “salesy.”

  • Confidence in Entrepreneurship: Step into the role of business owner while honoring your identity as a healer.

  • Financial Empowerment: Build an additional income stream that gives you freedom and stability beyond clinical work.

  • Time Management Tools: Create systems to balance your 9–5, private practice, and side hustle without burning out.

  • Mindset Shifts: Break through fear, imposter syndrome, and scarcity thinking so you can expand with ease.

  • Networking & Collaboration: Connect with other therapists on the same journey, sharing resources and opportunities.

  • Accountability & Structure: Stay consistent with group coaching support, check-ins, and shared goals.

  • Creative Freedom: Explore parts of yourself that don’t always get expressed in clinical work—your voice, artistry, and vision.

Program Length is 6 months.

Group Coaching Calls & Workshops held via Zoom on Mondays, 6:30pm - 8pm PST
