Oftentimes, as moms, we lose sight of who we are. We step into motherhood and get wrapped up in providing for our children that we neglect our own interest. We forget the most important person is ourselves, and when we do think about ourselves it can oftentimes be in a negative light. Criticizing our bodies, comparing ourselves to other moms, feeling guilty when we do much-needed self-care. This week's guest reminds us how important it is to love our journey through motherhood and to stop putting our passions on the backburner.

Key Takeaways:

Compartmentalize EVERYTHING (I will share actionable tips on how to do this)  - There is zero room for guilt and it serves no purpose - spending time feeling guilty is time wasted you could have spent with your kids/husband/business/your own self-care  - Learn to say no, but when to say yes. It's important to say no to many opportunities if they feel like a chore or don't benefit you, but it's also important to support other small fish and other moms trying to do what you're doing, so treading the line between valuing your time and supporting other mothers and women is delicate but necessary to master.

All a mom has to do is pour the Bumpin Blends cubes into her blender, add liquid, and blend, for a nutritious snack to help everything from fatigue and anxiety to leg cramps and swelling, and everything in between. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and busy toddler, Caroline, and loves hiking, yoga, and movie nights. She's expecting her second child this Fall!

Welcome to Mamma Hustle Podcast!!!

If this is the first time listening to this podcast or you are not familiar with Mamma Hustle let me introduce myself.

My name is Stephanie Lopez Gilmore and I have been a business owner since 2016, over the course of those years I have changed my business model a few times until finally landing on MAMMA HUSTLE. My previous career was in politics and public policy and left my career to start my first business in health and wellness. 

In 2020 I decided to create a network for mompreneurs, as a mom to be I knew that I needed support with motherhood and to continue to run my business. Mamma Hustle was going to start off as a podcast and quickly grew to a network and a business. During the pandemic, I pivoted my business from health coaching to business coaching and helping service-based businesses take their in-person business online and thus Mamma Hustle was born. 

What you can expect from this podcast:

This episode I had the pleasure of interviewing my first guest Dr. Jenkins. We discuss the emotions that come when a new mom transitions into motherhood and grieving her previous life. We also discuss the need for support during this transition and how motherhood is the perfect time to start a new business as ideas are flowing during this period of life. 

Key Takeaways:

Guest Spotlight: Dr. Danielle Jenkins

Today's guest is a psychologist and maternal mental health expert that has been working with families for over 20 years, first as a nanny, then as a preschool teacher, and then as a postpartum doula before finally pursuing a doctorate degree psychology. She now has a private practice in Washington State where she enjoys seeing women help them problem solve the frustrations of new parenting and help women and their partners overcome the pain of infertility, birth trauma, pregnancy, and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders.

One of her favorite things is helping women who feel they have lost themselves during the postpartum period recover and thrive.
