What if your “side gig” was more than just extra cash, what if it was your way out, or your way to more joy and fulfillment?

In this episode of Outlaws, Shayla and Kate kick off a brand-new semi regular series on side hustles.

From bold experiments to quiet projects done late at night, side hustles are often where rebellion meets reality. And they just might be the bridge between the job you tolerate and the life you actually want.

And to launch the series, they’re joined by Katie Sierakowski, a lawyer who spends her weekdays in the courtroom and her weekends running a cattle business with her family. From courtrooms to cattle, Katie’s story proves that the best side hustle ideas aren’t about escape, they’re about joy, grounding, and creating balance in a busy life.

They talk about:

• Why joy is mandatory for side hustles
• Why side hustles aren’t just about money (but yes, money matters, but don’t start there)
• How farming became Katie’s pressure release valve for life in the law
• The mental health boost of having something that’s yours
• Stories of flops, holding your nerve, and unexpected benefits

Whether you’re already dabbling with a project, dreaming of quitting your job, or just want a reminder that you’re not crazy for wanting more, this episode is for you.

💡 This episode is for you if: – You’re hunting for side hustle ideas that fit into a busy life – You’re curious about making money in ways your boss doesn’t control – You’ve got a notebook full of “someday” projects – You want more energy and creativity back in your life – You’ve ever said “I wish I could just try it” but stopped yourself
