RUTH BONNEVILLE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS ENT - side hustle Portrait of Ashley Gulakow in her home kitchen where she works as a content creator producing posts on healthy living. Story info: Gulakow started a blog in 2018 during her maternity leave. She returned to full-time work as a surgical assistant working in urology and thoracic surgery at HSC and St Boniface in April 2019. A few months later her mother was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer and passed away in Feb 2020. Her mother’s passing forced Gulakow to reassess her priorities and she started focusing on turning her side income into her fulltime income. AV Kitching, Arts & Life writer Jan 16th, 2024
