Guess whose birthday is around the corner?!⁠ My two book babies! 📚  Simple Green Smoothies turns 9 on November 3rd. 🤩 ⁠ And She Builds turns 2 on November 15th. 🎉 Being a published author and getting paid to write is a dream come true.  Every book I write is a time capsule of my life and creative expression. It’s an opportunity […]

I can’t believe that my newest book, She Builds, turns two years old this November! But She Builds isn’t just a book; it’s a movement of women who gather in community, share their journeys, and support one another in business and life. I want to personally invite you to a She Builds Community event I’m hosting at my workspace, Industrious, […]

I feel inspired and filled up by connecting with people in person.  On September 13th, I gathered like-minded women for my Visionary Anti-Hustle Workshop in my creative studio. Some flew in as far as Pennsylvania and Florida. ⁠✈️  The intention: To break free from hustle culture and focus on building a sustainable business with the Anti-Hustle […]

So… I was looking at 7,547 emails in my inbox. Ugh, c’mon Jadah. Again? 😫 Well, I have emails that I need to take action on, so of course, I can’t get rid of them. I have emails I’m waiting for my team to follow up on, so I need those too. Oh yeah, and that newsletter, […]

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m passionate about redefining how we live and work The Anti-Hustle Way.  I coach clients and companies on having a Visionary Action Plan and creating space to pause and pivot when needed.  I also make sure that they make time to rest, play, and, in my case, soak in the hot […]

That’s why I’m all about the cozy book club experience.⁠ 🙋🏽‍♀️ My local book club squad with Amy Ahlers and Jennifer Covington meets every 1-3 months, giving us plenty of time to savor each book at […]

I know a lot of people are worried about the economy right now. I also have fears that pop into my head in the middle of the night. Do we need to leave the country? Do we need to uproot and rebuild our lives? For the next 100 days, much of our attention will be focused […]

c 😭 Of course it stings. You’d rather people follow the “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.” 🤪 But people are entitled to their opinions. I’m celebrating that I choose to play in the arena where I know putting my creative work into the world will be criticized. But I […]

After watching Inside Out 2, I’m feeling quite nostalgic.  I saw a Facebook memory with this comment: “Jadah moved the crowd to tears with her inspiring talk and poetry jam.” ~ Jackie K It was exactly 10 years ago that I did my very first keynote. It happened to be in front of 3,000 people at […]

Are you ready to play and fully enjoy this summer with intention? If you’ve been working hard these last few months, now is the perfect time to slow down and be present with loved ones, even for just a few days.   But you have to communicate that you’re taking time off and guard your time, so […]

One ritual that has really helped my husband and I stay connected in our marriage of 19 years is…⁠ An intentional weekly date. 💖⁠ Finding the time to meet like this can be challenging some weeks.
