The terrible two's, raising men, balancing family with work passion, setting priorities, being a mom in a sea of male executives, being O.K. with not being there for all the moments, the independent four-year-old, how a woman's identity is more than motherhood, and the sexy and powerful mom. Cassandra Jones, Senior Vice President of Fashion & Digital Strategy for Macy's, on her Mom Journey, with Stacy Igel and Michelle Park. (Instagram: @cassandrajones).
In this episode:

"Yogurt moments", the terrible two’s
Growing up in South Dakota, pursuing a finance major, half art/half science, being bored balancing trades, Jones realizing she loves to shop
Dressing America, many types of people, everyone is important in expressing style inside and out
A family of a 4 year old, 1 year old, supportive husband an artist primary caregiver
People still surprised she is a breadwinner
How do you raise boys into men
Balancing loving being with children while maintaining a passion for work.
The biggest priority is setting one's priorities
Get up really early, make sure to work out daily
Operating with upper executives and board members, mostly older white men not small women, with Jones building strength mentally and physically to show up as fully as she wants to
The philosophy of having an ease that you might not be there
Parents being there 24/seven didn’t make her who she is, being present when she is did
Having no toolbox for independence at  four years old
Why Jones didn’t love having two kids until recently
Being O.K. not being the kind of mom she though she would be
Just being a mom doesn’t mean one's entire identity is being a mom
Jones' #MOMSGOTTHIS Moment, the moment something clicked after a speech for Oprah and leadership from Hillary Clintonfor her that she can be a mom and still be successful, sexy, powerful
