Whew it was hard to get back to reality after the amazing bday weekend I had!
My honey @dorkknightlv surprised me with a huge suite at the Delano, showered me with amazingly thoughtful presents, and drew me 4 bubble baths on top of lounging around the property at the pool.
We got to go to a 2 day music festival and then both the skyfall lounge and foundation room in the same night.

Not only that, @wastedthreads , @saltydev , and Maggie came to hang out with us up in the suite!

I haven’t ever had a vacation where I just relaxed... my birthday was exactly that. I got to forget about the real world and any stress on my plate.
Thank you so much for the most fabulous, relaxing birthday ever!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have been wanting to start a podcast for quite awhile, but I kept making excuses, like we all do when we are afraid.
Instead of leaving the thought alone, I asked my friends who have or had podcasts for some advice on how they started, what tools they used, etc and the task started to seem less daunting.

Since my business revolves around making women more comfortable and confident in their own skin, I have a lot of amazing conversations.

Many of these conversations could be helpful to others who may be going through the same things.

And so Lady Problems was born. Every time I mentioned the name, I would get the same reaction.
Lady Problems means something to everyone and there are so many topics we will be able to dive into candidly by taking the mask off, sharing stories, and getting real.

If you or anyone you know would like to be on the show, please comment below, tag them, and I can send over the super fun questionnaire I made for the show and get it scheduled!!! For anyone that has done a podcast, do you have any recommendations or advice for me?? Highly appreciated!!! #ladyproblems #ladyproblemspodcast #vegaslocals #getreal #togetherwerise #takealookinthemirror #candidconversations #podcastguest #newpodcast

Keeping it “Classy AF” over here at @thespacelv for the Diva Exchange event.

This morning it was so hard to get out of bed. I was out late last night making sure everything from my boyfriend’s 40th bday party got broken down.
When my alarm went off all I wanted to do was shut it off and roll over into the warm nook I carved overnight and float back to dreamland.
But when you choose to be comfortable, you aren’t pushing yourself to grow and break through your cocoon to become the beautiful butterfly you were meant to be.
Pain is temporary and I could have been grumpy and whiny this morning, but that wouldn’t have set my day up for success.
When I got in the shower, instead of wishing I was back in bed, I thought about all the amazing people I’m going to meet today and how I’m going to effect someone’s day positively.
When I got out of the shower I felt refreshed and ready to take the day on. It’s all about how you set yourself up. Will it be for success or stagnation today?

Happy Monday y’all!!! It’s been awhile since I gave you some fun facts about me that you may not know!

Fun fact #1:
My middle name isn’t Jade.... it’s Joyce!!! Where did Jade come from?? Anyone remember a show called Clarissa Explains It All with Melissa Joan Hart? There was an episode of that show where she dressed up in all black with a Joan Jett wig, a fake nose ring, and a temporary rat tattoo. She looked totally badass and called herself Jade. From that moment on, I totally resonated with that name and wanted to incorporate it into my persona. When I started my business I thought nothing would be more fitting to help empower women then the name that resonated as fierce with me as a young girl. 🤘🏻 Fun Fact #2:

I was the youngest operations manager at Circuit City at age 19. I started as a seasonal associate for the music, movies, and games department as an easy gig for some extra $$. When a vacancy in customer service opened, I got asked to fill the position. I had no experience and was super nervous if I could fill the role, but I took it anyway. From there, I fell in love with rising in the ranks and pushed myself all the way to the second highest position before the company eventually went bankrupt. I use the skills I learned there daily and am thankful for that experience in my life.

Alright y'all, It's Sunday night... time to start planning for the morning and the week ahead...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What processes do you use to make your daily or weekly life easier? Do you lay your clothes out the night before? Do you meal prep? Do you sign up for exercise classes?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Small changes to your habits can really change your motivation when it comes top mundane tasks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I started going to the gym in the morning, I found out that if I sleep in my workout clothes so that I wake up in them ready to workout first thing, I am more likely to get up and go. (I hate changing out of my comfy warm clothes into cold clothes from the closet, silly or not )⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love this image of @savynaelysee because she looks ready to take on the whole world! Hope this gives you some motivation for the week. I'd love to hear what habits or shortcuts you use on the regular (or are planning on implementing)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sunday Funday!!! The weather is getting so nice outside, I wish I had a dog to go walk! hahaha⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Setting boundaries and making my own schedule have been two of my biggest obstacles in my business. I have taken no days off, taken too many days off, let tasks wait until the last minute (or even way past when they needed to get done), and gotten things done early.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am committed to always learning, growing, and working on myself so I have been working on routine this week. I revisited one of my favorite books, Atomic Habits by James Clear, and have been implementing processes that will slowly build into healthy, prosperous habits.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am only focusing on the present moment and knowing that all I have control of is that moment and doing my best in that moment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a new work week begins tomorrow, I am taking some time today to reflect on everything I accomplished this past week and celebrating my wins. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember, we overestimate what we can get done in a day, and underestimate what we can get done in a year. Celebrate your wins often, give yourself grace, and just focus on the present. I hope you have an amazing Sunday!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
