I was so happy to see the rain this week in LA (not happy about the mudslides it causes but… here we are).  

This week was spent putting the finishing touches on a BIG project I’ve been working on for awhile now. 

I took my SELF Made Method course and completely upleveled it! 

I put in EVERYTHING I know (and my exact templates and framework from my business) about creating courses, running a successful business, and enjoying passive income.  

It was a labor of love but I’m so very proud of it.  

I also created a brand new masterclass to walk you through my framework called… 

Relax and Grow Rich: The 4 Step Framework I Used to Make Over $100M With A Business That Practically Runs Itself

You can watch it here (I included something fun for you at the end.) 

It’s the first time I’ve ever pulled back the curtains on my entire business and I’m excited to share it!  

We also celebrated Valentine’s Day on Friday as a family and that was special and sweet.  

I’m such a family first kind of girl so this warmed my heart. 

We even got heart shaped cat treats for Ollie and Bogie! 

You may have noticed but I haven’t been on social media lately. 

I’ve been focused on the new SELF Made Method course but also evergreening two other courses since that’s kind of what I do.  

But the thing is… I don’t have to be on social media.  

My business doesn’t run that way. 

Which got me to thinking how the ultimate flex is not having to “do” things you don’t want to in order to make money. And THAT is the topic for today! Here’s how to make money without hustling…

The Ultimate Flex? Making Money Without Hustling

People ask me all the time how to make money without hustling. Here’s what I want to share about that today…  

I’ve spent the last month off social media. No content, no endless scrolling, no keeping up with trends or algorithms. 

And guess what? My business didn’t just survive—it grew. 

That’s the ultimate flex. 

Because being truly SELF Made means never being trapped in the game. It means running a business that works for you—not one that owns you. It means making money without hustling.

I remember the exact moment I realized something had to change.  

I was sitting at my kitchen table, laptop open, drowning in another never-ending to-do list. A cold cup of coffee sat next to me, untouched for hours.  

My phone buzzed with notifications—emails, Slack messages, reminders of everything I still hadn’t finished. 

It was 7 PM. 

I had worked all day. And yet, I felt like I had gotten nothing done.  

My bank account didn’t reflect the hours I was putting in.  

My body felt stiff from sitting for so long.   

I hadn’t had a real conversation with my daughter all day, other than “Hold on, baby, Mommy’s working.”

And that’s when it hit me. 

• This is NOT what I signed up for.
• It’s NOT what success is supposed to feel like.
• And this sure as f*ck is NOT the life I imagined for myself. 

I looked around my house—beautiful, yes, but it felt like a prison. A place I worked, not a place I lived. 

I was working my ass off and still wondering if I was doing the right things.
I was making money, but it felt like it was never enough—and I was always worried about what came next.
And I had built this great life… yet I felt stuck, exhausted, and completely unfulfilled. 

I had been sold a lie. 

• The lie that working harder = more success. 
• The lie that if I could just “build better habits,” everything would click. 
• The lie that discipline and consistency would eventually make things easier. 

But let me tell you something… it never got easier. 

Because I was still operating as the version of me who had to struggle for it.  

That’s when I realized: The problem wasn’t my strategy. The problem was ME. 

I was still thinking, acting, and making decisions like the version of me who was trying to get rich—instead of being the version of me who already was. 

That one realization (as sh*tty as it felt) changed everything.  

How To Make Money Without Hustling

 You see, back in the day, I thought success meant hustling. Grinding. Outworking everyone else.  

Now? My definition of success is not having to do a damn thing I don’t want to do—and still making bank. 

I don’t need to show up every day on social media to sell.
I don’t need to launch constantly or burn myself out to make money.
And I don’t need to overwork myself for the illusion of “hard-earned success.” 

Because I built my business differently. 

How I Make Money on Autopilot (And You Can Too)

Here’s what changed: 

1. Evergreened My Offers.
   I took my best courses and turned them into automated revenue streams that sell every day—without me needing to show up in real-time. 
2. Stopped Creating New Sh*t Just to Stay Relevant.
   Most people think they need to constantly create new offers. The truth? You don’t. You need better systems for the ones you already have. 
3. Built a Business That Supports My Life (Not The Other Way Around).
   I don’t live to work. I work to support the life I actually want to live. That means fewer meetings, more automation, and only showing up when I feel like it. 

What Would Your Life Look Like If You Built Your Business This Way?

If you could step away from social media, stop launching every month, and still wake up to Stripe notifications rolling in… what would you do with your time? 

• Would you finally take that vacation you keep putting off?
• Would you spend your mornings slow and stress-free instead of rushing?
• Would you book massages, go shopping, or just breathe for once? 

Because that’s what true freedom looks like. Not working less—but working in a way that doesn’t feel like work. 

And I promise you… it’s possible for you, too. 

The question is—are you willing to make the shift? 

The choice, as always, is yours.
