The Origin Story of Bee Bright HR Consulting

AN OPEN ROAD AND AN OPEN MIND

Starting a business is often a journey of discovery—not just about the work you do, but also about the people you want to serve. For me, launching my HR consulting side hustle wasn’t just about leveraging my expertise in human resources—it was about stepping into something that truly resonated with my passion for helping businesses and people grow. Here’s the story of how it all began, and who I’m here to serve.

The Road Trip Epiphany: Letting My Mind Be Light and Free

It all started during a family road trip, traveling over 1,500 miles over 2.5 weeks. Sometimes, the best ideas come when you give yourself permission to step away from the busyness of life and let your mind roam freely. Surrounded by my family and the open road, I had the space to reflect and let my mind wander. And then, out of nowhere, the ideas came rushing in—almost too quickly to capture.

As I thought about my experiences working in HR, I realized there was a clear gap: many businesses, especially small ones and startups, didn’t have the resources to hire a full-time HR department but still needed HR expertise to grow and thrive. My mind was racing with ideas about how I could step in and offer customized solutions that would help businesses in a meaningful way. Once I grabbed a pen and paper, my hand couldn’t write fast enough—solutions, strategies, and frameworks for HR consulting were unfolding right before me.

It was in that moment, on that road trip, that I realized I could combine my knowledge, skills, and passion to help businesses overcome their HR challenges. I knew I needed to pursue this side hustle, and I felt a deep sense of purpose to support businesses and organizations in a way that wasn’t just transactional, but truly impactful.

The Fear of Uncertainty: Recession-Proofing My Life

Of course, there were fears that came with this leap. In a world filled with economic uncertainty, the fear of a potential recession weighed heavily on my mind. Like many others, I wanted to recession-proof my life—not just for financial security, but to diversify my income and reduce reliance on a single source. That’s when it hit me: a side hustle in HR consulting could offer both flexibility and stability.

But beyond securing my own financial future, I realized many small businesses were in a similar position. They didn’t have the luxury of a dedicated HR department at the level they needed, but they still required expert advice, structured processes, and support to manage their workforce effectively. This was a pivotal moment for me—it was clear that my side hustle could offer essential HR services that were affordable, flexible, and tailored to their needs.

Who Is My Audience?

As I started sharing my ideas and services, one question kept coming up: Who is your audience? And to be honest, that question left me feeling uncertain at first. I struggled with the idea of defining my audience strictly by industry, company size, or some specific criteria. After reflecting more deeply, I realized something important—my audience isn’t about fitting into a box. It’s about shared values, connection, and a mutual sense of partnership.

My ideal clients aren’t just businesses of a particular size or industry. They are organizations and individuals who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to start with their HR needs. It’s not about having it all figured out—it's about being open to the possibility of growth, clarity, and change. Whether you’re a small business owner, a startup leader, or a growing organization, if you're looking for fresh insight or need help structuring your people processes, we can work together to find the solutions that fit.

So, who is my audience? It’s anyone who feels they need support to move past challenges. Whether you're unsure where to begin with recruitment, employee engagement, building company culture, or navigating compliance, I’m here to offer guidance and perspective. If you’re ready to tackle these HR hurdles, but you don’t have the resources to do it in-house or simply need an outside perspective, then we’re a perfect fit.

I believe that HR doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right support and strategies in place, businesses of all sizes can thrive and create the environments they want to see. I’m here to help make that happen.

The Power of Partnership: Building Something Meaningful

When I started my HR consulting side hustle, it wasn’t just about offering services—it was about creating meaningful partnerships. I wanted to work with businesses that were eager to build stronger teams, create positive workplace cultures, and ensure their people processes were aligned with their goals. It’s about the mutual trust we build together, and the shared goal of helping businesses move forward with confidence.

Each client is different, and each partnership is unique, but the common thread is that we’re working together to solve problems and drive results. The work I do is not about a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s about understanding the unique needs of each business and crafting tailored solutions that fit.
