We’ve all been through the wringer the past year, but some people have had it tougher than others. If you’ve lost your job, had health issues, had family problems, or any other major stressor on top of our world turning inside out, recovering can be quite challenging — especially if you are also a recovering addict.
Remember to use healthy coping skills so you can manage stressful situations, and be sure to practice self-care. Eating healthy, exercising, and taking time out for yourself are crucial when in recovery from tough times.
If you need to take on a second job to help make ends meet, or if you need to start a business to get back on your feet, here are a few side gigs you can try.
1. Get Crafty
Making crafts or products you can sell on Etsy is one good way to manage that stress. If you decide to turn your idea into a small business, remember to spend time researching the competition so you can price your products correctly. Focus on commonly used keywords when you’re labeling the product so it shows up often during searches.
2. Drive On
It may not be your primary source of income, but depending on where you live, driving for Lyft or Uber is a nice way to bring in a little bit of extra money. If you’re a people person, this can be a nice gig where you can meet a variety of different people.
3. Try Housesitting
Some people have used house sitting as a way to do some travel or take a vacation for nearly free, but it’s also a good way to save money on rent. If you’re looking for a job, this can also take some of the stress off during the job-hunting process.
4. Share Your Home
If you own your own property, an alternative to housesitting is renting a part of it out to other tenants or posting it on a site like Airbnb. Most home-sharing options allow you to have the final say in screening visitors. Some sites including Airbnb offer protection options to the renter, so you can share your house with people who will treat it well.
5. Dog walking
Some pet owners have busy lives. Why not become a dog walker? You can post up signs in your area and advertise yourself as well. The beauty of the internet is that there are many ways to find people who are looking for the kinds of service you offer. You can charge according to the time you spend, from a short 15-minute walk to longer times out.
6. Officiate local sports
Many people who officiate are drawn by two things: a love of the game and a desire to contribute in some way. This work is often on weekends or evenings, so if you have a day job, this might be a simple way to take on a side gig. This is easier if you’re already a part of a league or participate in community sports.
7. Teach music lessons
You might have some skills that you can teach, including music. Perhaps you grew up playing the piano or some other instrument and always took it for granted. You don’t have to be a professional to teach music lessons. Take on a pupil or two and see how much they learn.
Cover Business Essentials
Whatever direction you choose to take, a few business essentials will help ensure your success. Draw up a budget for your new venture, and create a business plan to map out your goals and how you’ll reach them. There are some great templates online that can walk you through these processes, and remember to set up a budget while you’re at it.
Think about things like whether you’ll be hiring staff and how that will work as well. There are plenty of platforms for hiring freelancers, or if you plan to take on permanent people, there are apps like Quickbooks that will help you process payroll. The easier you can make things on yourself, the more you can focus on both your business and your recovery.
Making a little money on the side doesn’t require a huge bank account or lots of money. Side gigs will give you a chance to grow your network, diversify your work opportunities, expand your horizons and learn a couple of useful new skills. Making ends meet can require a lot of work, but you’ve learned valuable coping and stress management skills that have outfitted you for life success and freedom from addiction.

While it may not be the most exciting topic to explore, money management is something every young person needs to learn about. Research shows that the younger generations have a low rate of financial literacy. This can set them up for future financial disasters, such as ruined credit history or insufficient retirement savings. If you're just starting to get a handle on your personal finances, consult the below tips for pointers.

From Passion to a Successful Career
Article Contributed By Chelsea Lamb, Business POP
It isn't uncommon for students to dive headfirst into a degree and then move into a related career without giving much thought to other career paths. That is, not until they have worked for a few years and realized that they aren't really suited to or happy with the job. If this feels too familiar to you, the good news is that it is possible to walk away from that job to successfully pursue your passion.
Identify Strengths and Weaknesses
Whether you are looking for a new career or starting your own business, it takes practicality as well as passion to meet challenges. One of the first things to do is create a list of your strengths and put those to work in your favor. Also, identify your weaknesses and be aware of those areas that need help. As Inc. points out, weaknesses are actually areas for opportunity, and with the right application, they can lead to career growth.
Get an Inside View
Before you quit your current job, try to get an inside view of the industry you want to join. You can get a feel for the work through part-time jobs and volunteer work. If you're still excited about the field, you can make important connections and develop valuable resources. If you've found that you aren't really as interested as you thought, you've avoided making a serious mistake.
Become an Expert Through Research
Your next step is to become an expert on the ups and downs of the industry. Your volunteer or part-time work experience can help you understand which skills to develop and which challenges to expect. Identify areas that should be improved and problems that you can help solve. If you’re considering your own startup, Profitable Venture notes that it’s particularly critical to do as much research as you can to get off to a strong start.
Learn the Business End
If you opt to develop your hobby or interest into a business, you will naturally have to do new tasks. In addition to becoming an expert about your passion, you also need to learn how to run a successful business. For example, start tracking how much you spend on the business and how much you're making. You'll also need to find space to work in and to store your inventory. Other things to consider include doing taxes, hiring assistants, and dealing with public relations.
Get Assistance
When was the last time you updated your resume? Shaping it into something applicable to your new goals can be tricky, but you might be surprised at how much you can glean from your experiences that is critical in your new field. For instance, the ability to work independently and with minimal supervision, a can-do attitude, and/or being skilled as a collaborator are all highly desirable traits that are important in a wide range of industries and roles.
If you aren’t sure where and how to plug in, seek the input of a freelance resume writer when you update your resume. Professional resume writing services can make your document really stand out while customizing it to your new industry. Before you hire anyone, check out reviews, ask about delivery times, and take the cost into account.
Along those same lines, a professional mentor can be the sounding board you need when you feel like giving up, you aren't sure how to handle a negative response to your work, or you need an objective listener as you try to untangle conflicting goals.
Be Committed
Finally, commit to being 100% invested in your new career path. This doesn't mean spending all of your time on your new job or business. On the contrary, when you are spending time with family and friends, keep your focus on them. When at work, though, you must remain energetic and motivated.
Once you've recognized your desire to make a career change, use your passion to make a strong start gathering research and experience to prepare yourself to start a new job or business. Along the way, be sure to celebrate your wins and become stronger by recognizing mistakes.
Are you ready to reach the next level?
Yes, You Can Start a Business Without Taking a Leap of Faith
Article Contributed By Chelsea Lamb, Business POP
The virtues of entrepreneurship are well-known and oft-extolled. For one thing, you enjoy a great deal of flexibility and control over your day-to-day. For another, you can expect to be continually learning as well as exponentially growing as a person and a professional— and, of course, in profit.
But even with all these likely perks, it’s not rare for one to approach the idea of entrepreneurship with a great deal of trepidation. After all, you could essentially be jumping off the deep end and, in many cases, without a lifeline. However, you do have the choice to make your foray into entrepreneurship with due caution and, in turn, maintain your peace of mind. Let us count the ways.
Start with copious research.
This may be stating the obvious, but yes, you shouldn’t start a business venture without adequate due diligence. There are, in fact, a good number of things you must be privy to if you are to hit the ground running as an entrepreneur. First of all, you’ll need to research your business idea and determine whether there is a market for it. This will lead to market research, which will also give you an idea of what the competition is doing and how to reach your target demographic.
As you navigate the information you’re compiling, never underestimate the power of a well-chosen niche. It’ll help you build branding, hone in on customers, and foster relationships. If you’re at a loss for defining your business’s unique characteristics, connecting with Liz Strom is a smart way to develop a better understanding of your market and opportunities.
Buy what you need with care.
All businesses have core gear simply to do the work. At the most fundamental level, you’ll need to buy tech like hardware and software and, in many cases, furniture, organizational items, and other equipment.
For best financial practices, prioritize what you truly need immediately, and determine what can wait further down the line. Keep in mind that it’s wise not to scrimp on those elements which are the lifeblood of your business. A trustworthy laptop and/or a top-quality printer will all but ensure that you won’t have to make this expense again for a long time.
Look into your funding options.
The costs associated with starting a business can leave anyone with the heebie-jeebies, especially if you’re paying for it out-of-pocket. As Camino Financial explains, while there is no one-size-fits-all amount, it isn’t probably as bad as you think; 44 percent of businesses begin with under $5,000. Yet that doesn’t mean it must all derive from your savings.
In order to offset your expenses, consider looking into small business funding to help increase your cash flow and, by extension, your peace of mind. There are many options to consider, ranging from government funding like traditional SBA loans, SBA Express Bridge Loans, and the Main Street Business Lending Program, to non-government financing. Needless to say, finding out your eligibility for small business financing can be a smart move, as these are ready funds that can help you buy equipment, increase inventory, hire manpower, or boost capital. Best of all, it can help alleviate your stress and maybe even make your entrepreneurial journey a truly pleasurable one.
There’s little doubt that entrepreneurship could be your biggest adventure yet. However, there’s no denying how great it will reward you if you do it with care and prudence, as well as take full advantage of the resources accessible to you. Ultimately, that’s just good business savvy, and the moment you start your business, you’ll already be in the process of developing yours.
I'm so very honored to have been featured on the Pursue Your Spark Podcast entitled, "How To Build Resilience".
I, along with 11 other beauteous business owners/entrepreneurs impacted by COVID-19, share tips and our own personal experiences to help others. My segment is first, short, and focuses on resume writing and career shifts.
”It’s undeniable that COVID-19 has impacted us all. What differs between us is whether those effects have been mostly positive or mostly negative. In either case, finding the strength, hope, and resources to rise up and prosper during these tumultuous times has left many of us wondering exactly how to build resilience. “

The Things You Need to Make Your Transition to Remote Work an Easy and Seamless One
Article submitted by Chelsea Lamb, BusinessPOP
Working from home has been a much-touted way of working since technology has made it possible, and its virtues have only increased in this, the age of social distancing. However, if you’re new to remote work, you may find that it’s also rife with challenges. In fact, if you’re used to working away from your home, such as in a company office, you may even find yourself struggling with the change. Fear not, though, as there are ways to make this transition easy for you. Here are the things you should focus on.
A Dedicated Workspace
The shift to home-based work can make one feel like fish out of the water. Make this transition easier for you by creating a dedicated work environment that fully supports your work needs.
You can build a home office even out of a small area, as long as you make space.
It’s a good idea to get internet and telephone wiring installed by pros, not only to ensure that it’s done right but so that it’s not an eyesore, as well.
Check out great home office ideas to give you inspiration as you build your workspace.
Invest in a good desk and other such furniture that’s appropriate for your space.
If you’re hard of hearing or have other special needs, also take additional measures to ensure that your home office supports your specific condition and needs.
An Arsenal of Effective Tools
As a newly-minted remote worker, it can be easy to feel isolated, as well as to succumb to myriad distractions. Make your work-from-home life more structured and streamlined with the right apps in your toolset.
When you work from home, it’s important to maintain collaboration with your team.
Use the best collaboration tools that guarantee efficient communication and teamwork.
You also want to ensure that you make great use of your time and get more things done with some awesome productivity tools.
A Productive Mindset
Much of remote work is mind over matter, so sustaining the right mindset will keep you focused and creative. Make the effort to maintain healthy routines that not only help in keeping you productive but also in keeping your mental health in check.
When dealing with the transition to remote work, as well as the pandemic, you can support your mental well-being with some useful resources from life coach Liz Strom.
Having a morning routine can keep the stress and isolation of working from home at bay.
It’s also wise to practice self-care to maintain peak productivity and creativity.
Yes, making the transition to remote work can be daunting. However, when you take measures to support this change and really put your heart into it, you may come to like it, in time — and maybe even wonder why it took you so long to make the change.

I didn't know my donor or his family. All I know is that he was a 22-year old male who passed away, lived in the area, was an organ donor, & I received his kidney and pancreas to save my life.
I wrote his family letters and hoped to hear back from them, but I can understand why they'd prefer not to reply. It's painful to lose someone you love. I just wanted to let them know how I spend my life trying to bring joy to others' lives, too.
In the ER, before I closed my eyes on the day of transplant surgery (6/1/13), I commanded my spirit to make it through and told myself that--- when I woke up--- I was going to make my donor proud. If something were to happen to me tomorrow, I can proudly say that I've done exactly that. I'm so eternally grateful.
March is National Kidney Month (and 3/12 is World Kidney Day). Take care of yourselves, get regular check-ups, keep hydrated, love one another, & think about becoming an organ donor. I'm living proof that it's worth it. 💚
There are many ways to celebrate love, not just for couples, and not just on Valentine's.
There's Galentine's Day (2/13), Valentine's Day (2/14), Single's Day (11/11), your birthday, today...
"But Liz, it's not the same!"
Says who? Society? Since when did you allow others to dictate what you should/shouldn't do to show love? I thought so. 😉
Valentine's Day can be a struggle for many. You're not alone if you're one of the many. I see you. ❤️
If the notion of Valentine's Day is less than sweet for you, it's ok (it's normal)! Let's reassign meaning. Remember that there are all kinds of relationships: the one you have with your family, your friends, your co-workers, even the one you have with your phone (it's a thing)!
The most important relationship you'll need to constantly nurture is the one you have with yourself.
Give yourself some much-needed lovin'! ❤️ xx
SELF-LOVE/SELF-CARE IDEAS
-Take the day off, go hiking, camping/glamping, and be at one with nature
-Write in a journal! There are so many journal prompts available online.
-Have you been wanting to try a restaurant in your town? It’s time! Make a reservation.
-Stay in a tiny house, enjoy take-out, read, write, sing, dance, whatever moves you!
-Dinner and a movie is classic. You can take yourself! It’s more normal than you think!
-Make candles at your nearest Paddywax Candle Bar
-Order pizza in and enjoy chocolate-covered strawberries on your own!
-Prep your favorite breakfast (Golden Grahams and espresso FTW!)
-Wear your favorite outfit and drop it like it’s hot!
-Take yourself to a juice bar and get the good stuff to nourish your bod
-Dedicate a love song to yourself (sounds cheesy, but bad-ass ones exist out there!)
-Take yourself dancing
-Make time to do the thing that brings you joy
-Splurge a little on yourself
-Attend a class (cooking, painting, dancing, pottery-making… whatever intrigues you)
-Take a staycation
-Make a luxurious natural bath for yourself and enjoy it

Greetings!
In the name of balance and self-care, I’ve decided to reduce the “could-do’s” (writing blog posts) and tend to the “need-to-do’s” and “want-to-do’s” (working with clients AND enjoying the holidays) until after January 31, 2020. I appreciate you! Thank you for visiting my blog page!
From hard times to "the best times ever", sadness to incomprehensible joy, loss to gain, complex to simple, dull and mundane to bright and exciting-- you've got to find your recipe to succeed.
I'm a complicated person but in a good way. My recipe for success is probably going to be different from yours, but that's ok because we have our own lives and our own dreams/goals.
My recipe is based on a feeling:
When I feel like I'm glowing, I feel like I'm in-balance and rocking life. Without the feeling of balance, I feel off-kilter. There are additional ingredients that make my life feel more vivacious, alive, and sparkling, but for now-- let's get focus on building a foundation to "glow".
Here's my GLOW RECIPE:
1) Preparedness: Preparing myself by getting my work done, doing my homework, finishing the majority of my tasks before I start something new, buying groceries before feeling hungry, cleaning the house here-and-there before a surprise visitor might come
2) Grounding: Standing in my truth, deep breathing, intending to be the best version of me, understanding that I'm enough just as I am, remembering my core values before making decisions
3) Self-Care: Drinking enough water, giving myself time to gather my thoughts, stretch-breaks while working at my desk, eating as many nutrients as I can, enjoying treats, sleeping enough hours
4) Tribe: Surrounding myself with high-vibing people, following accounts online that support my well-being, serving as a support system while reaching-out to my trusted confidants when I need the support, giving and receiving love through kindness and care
Depending on what is happening in my life, there is much more to each of these bullet points.
Let's focus on YOUR recipe now.
1) Recipe Title: How do you want to feel? Take your top want-to-feel feeling and use that in the place of "glow". Do you want to feel amazing? Then this is your "Amazing Recipe" (and so on).
2) Ingredients: What makes you feel the way you want to feel? Take the top 4-5 things that make you feel the way you want to feel, and these will be your recipe's ingredients.
3) Ingredient Specifications: How can you incorporate these into your life today and the next day? Add these details next to each ingredient line item.
What's your recipe? I'd love to hear yours!
Email me at liz@lizstrom.com. I promise I will not try to sell you anything. :)
I know I wasn't born to be mediocre.
Neither were you.
Sometimes we just have mediocre thoughts.
Rock your paradoxes and keep on glowing!
xx
For the past week, I have been on vacation.
1) I almost didn't want to go.
2) I completely unplugged from my emails.
3) I almost didn't want to come home.
All true.
WHY I ALMOST DIDN'T WANT TO GO:
The short answer is that I got stuck in a mindset. My mind was on go-go-go mode. I felt like I had too much going on to take a vacation, even though it had been planned for quite some time. I felt I needed to stay behind my desk to accomplish more before I could take "time off". This is when I knew I really need to take time-off the most. I was putting others (and tasks) before my own well-being. I couldn't get through to the idea of relaxing, or relate to being relaxed. We shouldn't get to this point, but when we do-- it's time to unplug and take a step back.
THE PROMISE TO UNPLUG:
I promised myself that, when I set foot on that cruise ship, I was going to stop worrying about work. The only way for me to set work-worries aside is to not check emails. I activated my email vacation auto-responder, stuck to my word, and let myself just relax while on my trip. It worked! I set boundaries and I stuck to what I said I'd do.
WHY I ALMOST DIDN'T WANT TO COME HOME:
The short answer here is that I learned to relax and got used to the idea of "turning it off". I love my home so of course I wanted to return, but being able to breathe and let my mind focus on more light-heartedness made me feel alive. I also love the sun, sand, ocean, meeting people, and learning new things.
I relearned that, the more I go away, the more of me I find.
I found ME again on this vacation. Not that I'm not "me" when I'm not on vacation, I realize I'm just way more "work-me" when I'm not away and I let that Liz completely take over. I'm hardworking, organized, intelligent, educated, calculated, and so on... but I almost forgot how light-hearted, bold, daring, and fun I know I am, too!
Remember that you have to have a life to have work-life balance.

You'll find a whole host of articles concerning holistic health, do-good'er small businesses in the NoVA area, and life-touching stories in this local magazine. Love, love, love! 💛
I am so very grateful for this publication's dedication to self-development, wellness, and community care.
I love Mother's Day because it's a day to celebrate mamas and the tribe that helped them to raise our children (grandmas, aunties, sister-friends, foster mamas, et al). It takes a village! Happy Mother's Day! 💐
This day can also be difficult for others for so many reasons: yearning to be a mom, losing our moms, losing our babies, and so many other reasons. Know you are loved and I see you, too. What is lost or missing makes its way to you in other forms of love. The universe always has our backs, even if we don't quite understand the why's. Hang in there! Love, love, love to you! ❤️

Living LEGENDARILY! Bragging? Nope, this is declaring. 🙌🏼
Far too often, we discount what we do in the world because we are afraid of other people's judgment or we compare ourselves to others. Comparison can be a killer!
Keep declaring your victories (no matter the size), keep living out loud in your own way, & keep being beautiful you. You're enough just as you are + you've accomplished beauteous things. Allow yourself to be proud of all you've done! 🙌🏼💗xx

Create & Cultivate Conference NYC 2019 | Industry City, Brooklyn, NYC
This weekend with Create & Cultivate was legendary! I met so many amazing people, sat in on some scrumptious panel conversations, met the beauteous founder of Create & Cultivate (& author of #WorkParty), Jaclyn R. Johnson, and SO MUCH MORE! 🌟
Create and Cultivate has always been a source of empowerment, inspiration, motivation, and innovation for me, and to so many others. We learn that we must be authentic in our everyday lives, business included, and learn how to restructure our work-lives so that it feels more balanced. We got down to business at this conference, and got down at the same time. Music, Instagrammable moments, sips and bites, leadership panels, wise take-aways, and grocery bag-sized goody bags? Yes, yes, yes!
Quick takeaway: Martha Stewart filled us in on some juicy hints at how to be successful. One quote that really stuck with me was, "When you're through changing, you're through." #micdrop🎤
