Do you feel a pressure to choose between home life and your career? According to the two founders, the key is to ditch the idea of balance and enforce healthy boundaries instead. 

In today’s episode, the co-founders of the lifestyle brand J.Lowery, Jamey and Margaret, and I get into: 

• How to overcome the comparison trap and imposter syndrome when working in a new industry
• The unnecessary pressure of women feeling they need to choose between their career and being a mom 
• The role grace and empathy plays in their small business

J. Lowery is “a brand that celebrates who you are and what you like to wear. We strive to help people see in themselves what their peers see in them, hence our belief that each customer is an everyday influencer.”
