In this episode of Money Mondays with Micah & Rochelle, we dive into the real-life challenges and rewards of running a household with two very different income styles—Rochelle as a full-time self-employed entrepreneur, and Micah with a steady 9–5.

We talk about what self-employment really looks like behind the scenes—the freedom, the burnout, the income swings, and the mindset shifts—and how we’ve made it work as a couple. From loctician life to content creation and budgeting products, Rochelle shares what she’s learned building multiple income streams, while Micah gives his perspective on keeping things grounded with consistent income.

Whether you’re considering self-employment or already in it, this episode is packed with honest reflections and actionable advice.

🎙️ Highlights:

• The real pros and cons of self-employment
• How we budget with inconsistent income
• Choosing the right self-employment path for you
• Why flexibility isn’t always as freeing as it sounds
• Lessons we’ve learned balancing entrepreneurship with a 9–5 lifestyle
