We recently connected with Ashley Hinken and have shared our conversation below.
Ashley, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
I’ve been working on being more confident and comfortable in who I am. I’ve been learning ways to work through things emotionally. I have also been going out of my comfort zone by creating videos to post on social media.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I am currently a mom of 2, wife, college student and content creator. I am currently taking college classes to achieve my business degree. I have been a content creator and stay at home mom for 3 years now. I love being a mom and content creator. I created a brand called Mama Ashley Hinken in 2021 after I had my son. I create videos to post on social media about parenting, life hacks, and so many other things. I have accomplished so much in the 3 years that I have been a content creator. God has given me an opportunity to work with brands to promote their products. I love working with small businesses to help them succeed. I love thinking back about the things I’ve accomplished so far. I’m looking forward to what comes next with my brand.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
The areas of knowledge that have helped me in my journey are my experience in customer service. I worked at Starbucks, Kohls, and some other places before I became a wife and mom. The customer service background has really helped me. Some qualities that have helped me are: working hard and jumping out of my comfort zone. I would encourage others to not be afraid to try new things and to work hard in all that you do.
What is the number one obstacle or challenge you are currently facing and what are you doing to try to resolve or overcome this challenge?
The number one challenge I am currently experiencing is anxiety. I have been experiencing intense anxiety and panic attacks for a long time. I am currently going through therapy to learn to learn ways to think through my thoughts and process them.
