Jessica, how do you balance the demands of being a mom with running your business?
Being a mom was not planned and I was not prepared, but my son is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I just want to be a great influence to women and young girls out there and let them know that it doesn’t matter if you are a mom; your whole life doesn’t have to change. You can still do what makes you happy and flourish while being a fantastic mom. You can do both. He’s made me my happiest, and I will never regret it. If I could do it all over again, I would. As a businesswoman, I currently work from home where I can be with my son always. He’s with me all the time. I also have an amazing mom who helps me with him, and he absolutely loves her. I am so grateful for my supportive mom. God truly blessed me with the best mom.
What inspired you to start your own business, and what has been your biggest challenge as an entrepreneur?
I’ve always had a passion for fashion, and I always want women to feel beautiful. I was so passionate about it that I decided to open my own clothing store. I’m very surprised by the unwavering support I’ve received. I have the best customers ever. Building beautiful homes is something that found me; it was inherited from my family. I’m very much into architecture and design, and I’ve always been a huge party planner and decorator since I was little. It makes me feel complete when people love my creations. My biggest challenge was multitasking while being a new parent, but as I said, I wouldn’t have it any other way. As a new mom, I needed to be my own boss so I could take care of my son, make my own hours, and manage my own time.
Can you share any tips for maintaining a healthy work-life balance?
Practice time management, know your worth, love what you do, nurture relationships, focus on your health, and most importantly, set your boundaries.
How do you incorporate your modeling career into your busy schedule?
I have an amazing team that helps me manage all of that and an amazing mom who is able to help me with her grandson.
What advice would you give to other moms who are looking to start their own businesses?
I would say go for it and never give up, even if it starts off slow. Do not let anyone’s negative thoughts get into your head and make you think that you can’t do it. You have to really want it badly. Be sure to do your research, create a solid business pla
