My guest today on Rising Stories episode #52 is Jessica Bates. She is the owner and founder of Jack and Ella Paper. She makes and designs beautiful cards, stationary and a killer to do list notepad that I just fell in love with. Today, Jessica and I talk about having to make choices as a mom boss, font designers and having an accountability colleague to keep us motivated in our work. She also shares a very unique app for those of us who love magazines.
My guest today is Erin Loechner. Erin has been blogging for more than a decade now and is also a designer who’s work has been featured on HGTV in a two-season web special. This former art director and stylist who now resides in the midwest with her family, talks about setting and keeping boundaries when it comes to her family and business. Erin is also a writer and her newest book Chasing Slow highlights her journey away from the fast and frenzy to a new lifestyle of less. Listen as Erin and I chat about her family trips to Singapore and Ecuador, cooking brussels sprouts and what it looks like to be a kind boss to yourself. She gives us some great advice on that subject.
Hooray, it's my 50th episode of Rising Stories Podcast! My special guest today is a lady who is a fellow podcaster and someone that encouraged me to launch my own podcast.
