Why You Need White Space in Your Calendar with Jenn Mullen

Ep. 101 In this episode, we pull up a seat with Jenn Mullen—corporate dropout, mindful virtual assistant, and self-proclaimed introvert with a powerhouse strategy for getting your time (and sanity) back. After 14 years climbing the corporate ladder (including a grueling four-hour daily commute), Jenn had her breaking point in a packed Boston train station. That night became the catalyst for a whole new life—one built around white space, boundaries, and businesses that feel as good as they look. ✨ Jenn shares: The real reason why she left corporate (hint: it’s deeper than just a long commute) How introverts can show up without selling out The magic of “white space” and time-blocking for your soul What to delegate first when you’re just starting out The boldest thing she’s done at 43 (and why it had nothing to do with business) If you’ve ever questioned the 9-to-5 grind, wrestled with asking for help, or wondered if you’re “too quiet” to run your own thing—this conversation is the permission slip you’ve been waiting for. And yes, laundry and video games do make an appearance. 🔗 Connect with Jenn on Threads & IG: @MindfulVirtualAssistant 💬 Join Merchon on Threads @‌HighVibeCowork 💻 Virtual Co-Working for Creators – Virtual Coworking | SPS High Vibe Cowork Chapters: 00:00 - Intro & Meet Jenn Mullen 01:22 - From Corporate to Creative 03:18 - The Breaking Point in Boston 06:36 - Is Corporate Really the Dream? 07:25 - Can Introverts Be Entrepreneurs? 08:58 - How to Start Without Showing Your Face 10:03 - The Power of White Space 12:13 - Working Harder vs. Working Smarter 13:55 - Learning to Delegate 14:57 - Asking for Help Is Hard 16:26 - Laundry, Cooking, and Love Languages 18:19 - The Entrepreneur House Idea 18:36 - Boundaries That Protect Your Peace 20:43 - Phone-Free Nights & Digital Limits 22:27 - Build a Business That Supports Your Life 23:54 - Priorities Over Perfection 25:17 - Lightning Round 25:22 - Must-Read Book 25:51 - Creativity as Freedom 26:36 - Best Advice Ever 27:25 - Writing a Book on Mental Health 28:58 - Piercing Her Nose at 43 29:49 - Where to Find Jenn Learn more about your ad choices.
