Resourcing ourselves as parents, giving friends the gift of our unfiltered experience, hacks from a Google calendar black belt, growth via intentional action, and a self-care reframe from Jess' mom.

Jess Lee is the founder and CEO of fashion brand Modern Citizen. Modern Citizen’s brick and mortar location used to be just downstairs from my office, and I have a number of their classic pieces (including a blouse I bought years ago between sessions after a coffee spill emergency!). Jess is also a mom of two young kids, and has been juggling parenthood in tandem with managing a rapidly scaling company— I loved chatting with her about how she resources herself in motherhood, how she uses her calendar as to-do list AND values check, and so, so much more.

Take a look at some of my favorite snippets from my interview with Jess, below— then scroll down for audio and video of our full conversation!
