    Ep. 54, "Self-Care, Side Hustles, & Balance"

    In this episode of Such A FN Lady, we’re diving into the art of balancing it all—self-care, side hustles, and staying sane in the process. Jennifer and Krystle kick things off by giving flowers to the incredible Jamila Riley, a powerhouse entrepreneur behind J. Riley, a Milwaukee-based business known for its unique, hand-crafted crochet earrings and accessories. From discussing the journey of turning a passion into a thriving brand to reflecting on the challenges of juggling multiple jobs, creative endeavors, and personal wellness, this episode is real talk on making it all work. Jennifer opens up about her latest ventures, including launching an Etsy shop (Eko and Me Designs), getting back into nail artistry, and stepping into officiating weddings. Meanwhile, Krystle shares her journey of finally securing a therapist and how prioritizing mental health is just as important as professional success. Plus, Krystle reflects on the challenges of raising a teenager, while Jennifer shares her experiences parenting her young son, Eko. They dive into the realities of work-life balance, the emotional toll of career transitions, and the importance of recognizing when it’s time to pivot. Tune in for an honest and humorous conversation about career shifts, financial goals, motherhood, and embracing the power of rest.
