About This Podcast

Heya Heya Heya Friend, Welcome to the Side Hustle GROWTH Podcast! THE ultimate destination for ambitious women juggling full-time jobs and side hustles, who are READY to turn their passion projects into profitable businesses. 

Hosted by Christen N. James (CJ) - a Certified Life Skills Coach, Master Mindset Coach, and Creator of the Shine to FIVE™ Method, this podcast equips you with the tools, Mindset shifts, and strategies to quit the 9to5 and embrace entrepreneurship with CONFIDENCE.  

In this Side Hustle podcast, my mission is simple: help you step into your Power, overcome self-doubt, and design a life where you go from having a boss to BEING THE BOSS.  


With years of experience coaching women who dream of freedom and flexibility, I have helped hundreds of side hustlers stop “throwing spaghetti at the wall” and instead build businesses that work for them.

Her holistic approach - rooted in Emotions, Mindset, and Strategy - means she’ll meet you where you are while showing you the steps to where you want to go.  

With her real talk, compassionate coaching, and signature 3D Exit Strategy™ (DEDICATE, DECIDE, DEPART), I give you the clarity and tools to transform your life.  


Here’s what sets THIS Podcast apart:  

✨ Real-Life Business Lessons: Learn practical tips to earn extra cash, build systems, and embrace a money mindset.  

✨Women-Centered Conversations: Episodes tailored to the challenges women face balancing a full-time job and growing a second income.  

✨Holistic Approach: With me, it’s not just about the hustle - it’s about your emotions, mindset, and self-care.  

✨Diverse Topics: From passive income strategies and simple marketing tips to accountability hacks and time freedom, there’s something for everyone.  

✨Inspiring Stories: Hear from my guests - entrepreneurs and side hustlers who’ve been where you are and found success.  


New episodes drop every Thursday, filled with actionable insights and stories to inspire your journey. There's a mix of solo episodes with CJ keeping it real and candid, plus interviews with Side Hustle pros and Small Business owners.  

Popular Topics:  

  • How to build a second income without Burning Out
  • Passive income ideas for busy professionals
  • Time freedom through better Systems
  • Shifting to a Six-Figure Mindset
  • Overcoming fear of judgment, failure, or uncertainty.



Listeners rave about my ✨energy, relatability, and practical advice✨. Whether you’re commuting to work, unwinding after a long day, or brainstorming your next business move, this podcast feels like a motivating chat with your Homegirl and Business Coach all rolled into one!
