Why I’m Building Multiple Income Streams (and How I Keep It All Aligned)

As I mentioned in my first post, nurse coaching is my passion—it’s what lights me up and fuels the work I do here at Inherently Healthy. But in the spirit of full transparency, I’m also working on a few other endeavors behind the scenes.

Not because coaching isn’t fulfilling. It absolutely is. But I’m also a mom. A woman building generational wealth. And someone who wants to keep my coaching services accessible without burning out or raising prices just to stay afloat.

"This is my why. Building with love, purpose, a little chaos and a lot of traveling."

The 8 Streams Rule

There’s a saying—one I’ve heard in the personal finance space, and supposedly even in the Bible—that you should have eight income streams. I’m not quite there (yet), but I understand the reasoning.

While I fully believe that corporate and service-based jobs are necessary and honorable, I also believe everyone has something else—a side hustle, a creative passion, or a quiet gift—that can bring in income and add value to others.

So, here’s a little peek at two other paths I’m walking alongside my nurse coaching practice:

1. My Etsy Shop – A Mom & Daughter Creation

One of my most heart-filled projects is an Etsy shop that I run with my daughter. She’s the creative one—drawing all the designs by hand. I just sprinkle in some quirky sayings and take care of the business side.

It’s our little way of blending creativity, entrepreneurship, and bonding time. Plus, it’s teaching her (and me) a lot about building something from the ground up.

2. Affiliate Marketing – With Integrity

Yes, I know. Affiliate marketing gets a bit of a bad rap. I’m not here to spam anyone, flood your inbox, or send daily sales emails.

But I am someone who shares things I genuinely believe in. And sometimes, those things happen to be products, programs, or tools that helped me along my wellness journey.

So here’s my promise:

Promise #1: If you sign up for anything directly through this website (Inherently Healthy), your email will never be shared with any of my other businesses. Ever.
Promise #2: If I do reference a product and it links to an affiliate page, I’ll let you know upfront. That page may collect your email—that’s just how affiliate platforms work. But it won’t be connected back here.
Promise #3: I will only promote products that I personally use, love, or truly believe in. If I talk about it, it’s probably been a part of my own healing or growth.

Basically, if something shows up in a blog post, it’s because it’s relevant—not because I’m trying to sell you something.

A Little Help From AI

Since we’re being real here—let me share another tool I’ve added to my life: AI.

Writing blog posts? I use it. I type out all my scattered, misworded, misspelled, and loosely connected thoughts—then I let AI help me shape them into something readable, structured, and actually worth sharing.

It doesn’t write for me—it writes with me. Everything you’re reading started from my own voice, stories, and ideas. AI just helps me clean it up so I don’t sound like I’m jumping between five conversations at once (which… I usually am).

If you’re a busy parent, creative soul, entrepreneur, or someone with 12 tabs open in your brain at all times, highly recommend letting AI be your virtual assistant. It’s a game changer.

Why This Matters

I want this platform to stay authentic. My goal here isn’t to sell—it’s to serve. Whether it’s through coaching, sharing wellness tools, or giving you a little insight into how I juggle life and business as a holistic nurse and single mom, I want it to always come from the heart.

Thanks for sticking with me as I build this multi-layered dream. More stories, resources, and soul-food to come.

With gratitude,

Samantha
