Doula Jess Larson

Grown-Up Gigs Virtual Assistant/Doula Jess Larson This is Jess! Image stole from her website. When I came across Jess Larsen as a guest video blogger on Spring, it was friend love at first sight. Her video on Self Care/Tough Love prompted my own video response (no, a mere comment on her video was not enough), and when I digged deeper into Jess website I found out that she wasnt just a Virtual Assistant shes a doula, too! When we realized we lived mere miles from each other, we planned to meet up so I can pick her brain as to how she manages two careers at once without her head exploding. We had such a lovely time ( the bestest dinner ever at Aurora, yum!) that not only did she agree to meet up with me again (yay new friend!), but she agreed to be interviewed for Grown-Up Gigs right here! And then, when Mercury Retrograde effed up our video chat, she agreed to meet me on my conference line to record just the audio. And THEN, when my phone died for no reason in the middle of the call, she agreed to put the calls together lickety-split to make a cohesive interview. So you total ly have to listen, because not only is this interview totally awesometastic (we talk about being an expert while being a Renaissance Soul, and about how you can leave the day job without a certain date/number in mind, other amazeballs stuff), but it was so much work to put it together. Stupid Mercury! (I love blaming stupid things happening on planets). You can visit Jess on her website, on Facebook on the Twitter. Thanks for being so awesometastic, Jess! ******************************************************************************************************* Super Secretnessity: Did you meet Pierre François Frédéric, the host of The Declaration of You ?Hes French, he sings, and he loves Judge Judy!
