I should read this interview regularly. . .it’s exactly what I try to do in my own little corner of the world. Jena’s words can serve as a great reminder to me (and plenty of others, I’m sure) of how to approach each day.

Thanks to Jena linking back to this post, I just discovered your fabulous blog! I love the concept — I’m trying to get better about living more deliberately. I’m good at planning things for the future, but maybe sometimes too much so… Sometimes I have to remind myself to enjoy the daily moments.

I can really relate to this interview and Modish is my new blog-crush (recently found the site and made it my blog of the week). I also found great resources through ModishBiz tips, and reading here about how she struggles in some of the same ways I do makes me feel not so alone! Thanks Jess! Have a great weekend!

Wonderful interview. I think she is so smart and put together. I am always reading her biz tips. Thanks for sharing!

@ All: I totally agree with you ladies, she has some great intentions to get more balance in our lives. I actually thought about her intention to be outdoors more this evening while on a run and I made a conscious effort to stop a bit early and sit down in the park to reflect – I run outdoors a lot but it definitely is not the same balance-wise as when you actively rest.

Jena is SO GREAT! It’s truly inspiring to read this. That woman puts soooo much goodness out there and it’s not as often that we get to focus on the wizard behind the curtain. She is a force and a genuius!! I really appreciate her focus on authenticity and integrity. It should be something we all strive for. I feel super duper lucky to live in the same town as all these wildly talented and inspiring women!

Thanks for sharing this!!

Such grounded and simple philosophies: taking care of what’s closest to home first. Makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing this with us!

I so enjoyed this interview. Jena’s goals are simple and straightforward; I have the same goals myself. I wish they were easier to follow through on! Best of luck achieving that balance!

Yes, this was a wonderful interview. These are the same things I think many many of us are trying to keep in mind as we expand our “virtual” selves. It is wonderful to be passionate about our work, but even more important to remind ourselves that it is the life “outside” these cyber walls that is real, and full of infinite meaning and connection. Take care of myself. Go outside. laugh more, sleep more, eat more, move around more. All excellent advice–thank you!!

I really enjoy reading Jena’s blog, esp Modish Biztips and its great to get to know the other side of her!
I do think its a constant struggle when you work for yourself and you can sometimes feel you should be working that much harder and doing that many more things. Achieving balance is hardwork!

For me, i need to remember to laugh more

Yay, thank you so much for this Jess! I appreciate it so!

And thanks ladies for your kind comments! Laina, you’re right, it all boils down to trying to find that balance. Ahh… someday…

Just today, our circle will meet, we will go out to talk about a book we just read, and to share some good nourishment. Then we will go home, back to our families and feel the love. All of these interviews always remind me how important it is to spend time taking care of not only the ones you love, but myself.

I really liked and connected with this interview. Many of her intentions are quite simple, but yet all seem to be based around seeking and maintaing a balance which I think most of us are constantly working to find/maintain. Reading this made me happy and reminded me to keep things in check!

Awesome interview (of course!) I actually found Modish Biz Tips recently as well… small blog world, huh? Taking care of myself is something I am working on these days too… with two little ones it becomes quite the challenge, but this just reminds me how important it is!
