Jenn Collins of the Mama Needs Box and Mama Needs Podcast joins Hilary to discuss her career journey from communications professional to stay-at-home mom, to entrepreneur and podcaster. They talk self-care, self-awareness, and why they both love podcasting.

Jenn Collins is the owner and Chief Self-Care Officer of the Mama Needs Subscription Box and host of The Mama Needs Podcast. She is also a wife to her high school sweetheart and Mama to 3 amazing kids ages 10, 7 and 4! Jenn is on a mission to help Mamas understand the need for self-care and give them the tools and inspiration to prioritize it. Jen believes that mamas need to put aside the feelings that we don't have time or money to take care of ourselves and ditch the guilt that keeps us from self-care! 

Hustle Hack: One of the biggest hacks you can execute is having self-awareness. I noticed several times in my conversation with Jenn that she has solid self-awareness: she knows when her best time of day is to work. She knows her tendencies. When it comes to productivity, recognizing your tendencies and patterns is huge. So consider keeping a journal with you for a week. Every few hours check in with yourself. Are you feeling energized? Tired? Did you get on a roll with your work? Were you in “flow”? In order to execute on our work with maximum effectiveness we have to be aware of our strengths and when and where we work best. Charting that out is a great starting point. 

Moment of Grace: On that same theme of self-awareness, I love that Jenn recommended building an awareness of what drains you and what fills you up. Take 5 minutes to jot down a 2-column list of what drains you and what fills you up. Try to put something on your calendar at least once a week that is in the “fills you up” column.
