I’m excited to welcome my guest for this episode, Jen Thompson.  As the Chief Brand Officer at Japonesque, Jen has a hand in revolutionizing the beauty and wellness industry, integrating cutting-edge technology, and pioneering new product categories. For most of her adult life, she considered herself a careerist. But putting her career above all else meant giving up parts of herself she didn’t want to miss out on. When you can’t have it all, what has to give?

In this heartfelt conversation, Jen opens up about the transformative journey of aligning her career aspirations with her personal values. We delve into the nuances of staying authentic in a demanding corporate environment, the art of self-advocacy, and the skillful communication of ideas that define her leadership style. Let's dive into the conversation with Jen and uncover the lessons and experiences that shape her unique perspective.
