Welcome to the Mama Needs Podcast, where we chat about all the things that ‘mama needs’! On this podcast you’ll hear real stories from Moms that you can relate to and listen in while you do your everyday mom life. I’m your host, Jenn Collins, Mama of 3 kids, wife and founder of Mama Needs Box, a monthly self-care subscription box for Moms.

Do you have a tween or teen daughter? We’re back but just for this shorter bonus episode to feature my friend Deana Hicks. She is a wife, mama of a teen girl and owner of One Girl Inspired, a monthly subscription box filled with fun tools to inspire, empower and motivate teen and tween girls to believe in themselves, aspire to dream big and make their own mark on the world. We collaborated recently and put cards in each other’s boxes to advertise to a new audience and hopefully reach both some Mamas who need some self-care and their tween & teen daughters who need some encouragement! Also, in case you didn’t know, September is self-care awareness month and September 25th is National Daughter’s Day - perfect timing - it’s like we planned it or something!

We talk about Deana’s background, what’s inside these beautiful boxes, and Deana shares some staggering statistics of tween & teen girls and then some encouragement for those of us raising girls in this generation right now. She also gives us the secret of the “Botox Brow” - you will want to know what this is, I promise!

You will love hearing from Deana’s heart and the worthy mission behind these boxes! At the end, she shares a 15% off coupon code that you can use at onegirlinspired.com. And if you received our August box, you saw the card we put inside from One Girl Inspired with the code right there. Enjoy my conversation with Deana!
