Words of Wisdom
As awesome as it is to have the additional income having a side hustle offers, there are many potential benefits beyond just money.
Jeffrey's side hustle as a ceremonial officiant allows him to remember why it is so important to foster love and harmony at the beginning, middle and end of relationships. He noted that being a therapist in private practice can sometimes feel isolating and disconnected from a sense of community. Serving as a non-denominational, spiritual but not religious officiant has allowed him a role in the community and a sense of connection beyond the leather couch where he sees patients.
Fun Fact
A producer from the TLC reality show "Four Weddings” reached out to him for their first episode because he was the officiant for a wedding at a hip Chicago mansion. TLC wanted to include a highlight of the happy couple at the ceremony and one thing led to another.
That decision led to Jeffrey being featured on TLC several times. As his hustle, Celebrate Love Chicago!, grows and he continues to work as a psychotherapist, couples usually come to him at least once a month with a potential wedding gig.
