024: Delegate the Drain: The First 5 Tasks to Hand Off to a VA | Renee Hastings

VA curious or VA nervous? Well guess what, hiring a VA is actually part of self-care for mom entrepreneurs! This episode shows how to start small with a VA, buy back time, and keep your voice while you delegate.

What you’ll learn:

  • Clear signs you’re ready for support (and how to start with just a few hours)
  • The first 5 tasks to hand off—admin, onboarding/CRM, social templates, longform content, and light nurture
  • A 7-day hand-off sprint for busy weeks (yes, even in chicken-and-egg mode)
  • How “support as self-care” helps you show up better at home and at work


About our guest:

A former teen mom on welfare who refused to be another statistic, Renee Hastings leads Executive Help Now, a VA agency serving small business owners, creators, and busy executives with admin and production support. In business since 1996, she’s a Business Management grad and former Dale Carnegie leadership coach.

👋 WHO AM I?

Hey, I’m Manouchka — a business coach who built a new business in the cracks of motherhood. After becoming a mom, I knew I couldn’t go back to biz as usual. I needed a way to grow with clarity, purpose, and limited time. That journey led to Hey Boss Mama — a podcast, a community, and a movement for mompreneurs who want to grow with strategy and joy.

If you’re craving real talk, smart marketing, and tools to juggle life and business — you’re in the right place! 💪
