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.
