Ever wondered how creative entrepreneurs manage to juggle multiple businesses — and still have time to live? In this episode, Veronica sits down with Lyra, a fellow business partner and creative entrepreneur who’s found the perfect blend of hands-on business, parallel to a second stream with automated flow. From running a Shopify store and printing t-shirts for clubs and churches, to building an automated online business that works quietly in the background — her story is a beautiful example of how passion and smart systems can work together. We talk about: ✨ How she first got started in business and what life looked like before taking the leap 🎨 The creative spark behind her side hustle and what she enjoys most ⚙️ What drew her to the automated business model — and the surprise of how passive it can be 💖 How the second income stream with the automated business changed her time freedom, family life, and ability to give backHer story reminds us that you don’t have to pick just one thing — and that automation isn’t about doing less, it’s about freeing up time for what matters most. ________________________🔗 Links & Resources: Learn more about the passive income - online business I now run alongside my knitwear brand.
