Learning quickly and moving on with Breegan Jane Nov 06, 2020

Show notes

Breegan Jane is a designer, entrepreneur, lifestyle expert and philanthropist in Los Angeles. As a mom of two boys Breegan is making due with the time she has so that she's also able to give time to her business as well.

Key takeaways from this episode:

Getting to the answers of how things will work, how to make time for everything you want, and figuring out the solutions to our problems earlier and faster will let us decide what we need to do differently and move forward.
Mixing parenting with what kids need to grow and develop can make life easier - like teaching your children to clean and care for the house can help in both areas. Allowing our children to feel empowered keeps them wanting to contribute and channels their energy at times.
When we do not do our work and follow through, it can usually be that frustrated parent that's causing other things to fall and tumble.

Showing Up as Mom While Climbing the Corporate Ladder with Jacquelyn Howard Oct 16, 2020

Show notes

Jacquelyn Howard has over 30 years of corporate experience at some of the biggest companies. Now as Vice President of Starbucks, she shows up at work as her full self - which includes the roles of wife and mother. She became a mom later in life after being joyful in singleness, but has always been careful to set strong boundaries to fully enjoy her life. Early on advice from mentors who were mothers included making sure she got her personal time now as her children are older, that time has adjusted because her children are more independent now.

Key takeaways:

Climbing the corporate ladder required different demands from Jacquelyn, but she always makes sure she's not overleveraged.
She created boundaries before having children and after becoming a wife and mom she made sure her team at work knew her family, went on vacation, and knew she was a woman of faith so they were used to knowing she hat set orders
Black families need to be overly engaged to watch for any bias in your child's school and education, additionally her family has sought out professionals and authority of color to show her children who they can be.
Have people around you with the same values is important, not just a village
