This podcast is not polished. It’s not planned out. It’s just me — recording voice notes in real time as I move through the One Day MBA program and rebuild my business from the inside out.
I’ve been running my business for seven years. But this? This is Calm & Colorful 2.0. A new version. A deeper mission. A bigger ripple. And I’m documenting the journey as it unfolds — one day, one alignment, one breakthrough at a time.
The One Day MBA is an 18-month, hands-on business accelerator where you grow your business in real time — with strategy, coaching, community, and way more truth-telling than I expected. I said yes because I was ready to bring my business back to life. To lead with more clarity, more confidence, and more me.
Because this season is all about being fully alive in it — not just getting through it.
This podcast is for the ones doing business with babies on their hips and big dreams in their hearts.
For the ones who crave both strategy and softness.
For the mamas bringing their full selves to the work.
Mama. Business. Alive.
Unfiltered. Unedited. Just one day at a time.

This episode came directly from a conversation I had this morning with Ranbir, the founder of One Day MBA.
Seven weeks into the program, deep in customer interviews, heat maps, and idea testing, this conversation helped me see my work and my assumptions more clearly. We talked about what “deep pain” actually means, why talking to everyone can dilute your signal, and how patience is one of the most underrated advantages in business.
I also reflect on the tension between staying committed to your vision while remaining open to pivots, and why medium-level excitement can be more dangerous than no excitement at all.
If you’re in the messy middle of building something, unsure whether to dig deeper or zoom back out, this episode is for you.

Seven weeks into One Day MBA, something unexpected happened.
The founder of the program, Ranbir, personally hopped on a call with me, not to sell, not to onboard, and not because he had to, but to genuinely check in on how my customer discovery process was going and to listen.
In this episode, I share why that moment mattered so much to me as a founder and why it says everything about the culture behind One Day MBA. We talk about what it looks like when a founder actually walks the walk, models curiosity over certainty, and stays involved long after most programs go quiet.
If you’ve ever joined a program that felt supportive at the beginning but distant once you were “in,” this episode offers a refreshing contrast and a behind-the-scenes look at leadership done differently.

In this raw and very real episode, I share what happened after the vendor event that left me crying, doubting everything, and wondering if I was even cut out for this whole “founder” life. Spoiler: I learned SO much more than I expected.
I take you inside my debrief with my mentor, Heather, where we broke down not just what happened at the event, but also the emotions behind it — why I cried, why it felt so heavy, and what those feelings were actually trying to tell me.
We talk about the big messaging mistake (aka: having a toddler business with zero signs that said “toddlers”), why my QR form flopped, the behind-the-scenes mom moments (hi, Corbin crying at nap time), and how all of this was actually data… not failure.
And then, the twist: when we added up everything that did work, we realized this event was actually a huge success — just not in the magical, cinematic way I imagined.
Heather even got chills during part of our conversation (which definitely made me feel less like a disaster and more like a real founder learning in real time).
If you’ve ever had something go “wrong” and immediately made it mean something about YOU… this episode is going to feel like a hug, a pep talk, and a reset button all in one.
This is the messy middle of entrepreneurship — and honestly, it’s where the real growth happens.

In this deeply honest episode, I take you behind the scenes of my biggest experiment yet — a vendor event I believed would be the turning point for Calm & Colorful. I share the real numbers, the unexpected heartbreaks, the toddler tears, the moments that made me question everything, and the powerful reflections that came afterward.
From spending more than planned, to struggling to attract the right families, to handing out 109 stickers and gathering tiny but meaningful data points, this episode is a raw look at what it feels like to be in the messy middle of entrepreneurship.
I read the message I sent my mentor, her grounding response, and how a surprising gift the next morning reminded me to breathe, reconnect with my family, and trust the long game.
If you’ve ever felt defeated, questioned your path, or wondered whether you’re capable of making a meaningful difference, this is the episode you’ll feel in your bones. Because this isn’t the part where everything works… this is the part that shapes who I’m becoming.
Buckle up, friends — we’re building something beautiful, even when it doesn’t look like it yet.

Jessica shares a quiet, powerful moment of being truly seen by a longtime friend — someone who has witnessed her through teaching days, heartbreak, healing, motherhood, and the growth of Calm & Colorful. A simple “I’m so proud of you” becomes a reminder that she is capable, equipped, and meant for this work.
This episode explores friendship, self-doubt, and the beauty of realizing just how far you’ve come.
Jessica closes with a gentle invitation:
What are you proud of yourself for today?
In this episode, I walk through the exact steps I’m taking to create immediate revenue in my business thanks to my mentor’s guidance. From narrowing my top delivery mechanisms to running evidence-based customer discovery calls, this is the behind-the-scenes of how my Plan A is forming in real time.

This episode is me processing in real-time the biggest pricing mindset shifts I've had since starting my business rebuild. We're talking about the wine exercise that proved we choose based on price psychology alone, the Ferrari reality that scarcity creates luxury, and why my fear of pricing (both too high AND too low) has been sabotaging Calm & Colorful.
Len taught us the Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Method - a 50-year-old framework that uses just four simple questions to find your optimal price point. No more guessing, no more pricing from fear, no more copying competitors.
But here's the real breakthrough: I finally understand that underpricing isn't humble or generous - it's actually telling your customers that your work isn't valuable. And that hit me hard.
If you've been struggling with pricing your services, afraid to charge what you're worth, or stuck in that impossible middle of not wanting to price people out but also not wanting to undervalue your work - this episode is for you.
I'm sharing my exact action plan for implementing this method, the "money leaks" that eat your profits, and why this one workshop might change everything about how I price Calm & Colorful 2.0.
Next episode: I'm sharing my actual survey results and what happens when I test these new price points in the real world.
Key Takeaways:
Resources mentioned: Van Westendorp survey templates, Survey Monkey, pricing analysis tools

In this month’s diary entry, I share my takeaways from a community workshop with Jordyn Bonds, who once helped scale a company from $40M in monthly revenue… to zero just 18 months later.
We’ll talk about why product-market fit isn’t forever, how to spot a true “broken leg problem,” and why repeatable wins matter more than lucky breaks. Plus, I’ll share how these lessons apply directly to Calm & Colorful 2.0 as I grow through the One Day MBA.
Action step for you: Look at your last big win — then ask, what made this work, and how can I repeat it 10 more times?

This week I joined a One Day community event on The Seven Pillars of the Founder’s Code hosted by Marki Shkreli — and it gave me the clarity I needed to anchor Calm & Colorful 2.0.
In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways:
I’ll also walk you through my new plan for Calm & Colorful: my founder code, my three non-negotiables, and how I’m mapping my first 100 families.
Because when founders live their values at scale, they don’t just build businesses — they build legacies.

Jessica shares the very first monthly recap of her One Day MBA journey, documenting where Calm & Colorful stands today and what August 2025 brought to her business and life. In this kickoff reflection, she outlines the current products in her suite, celebrates the decision to officially enroll in the One Day MBA, and dives into early wins like connecting with fellow students, reading The Mom Test, hosting her first customer conversations, and even birthing this podcast itself.
She also opens up about real-life moments of entrepreneurship while parenting, her revenue and social metrics snapshot, and the lessons she’s already carrying forward—like slowing down, testing before polishing, and trusting the process. Looking ahead, Jessica sets intentions for September while grounding into her core principles: clarity over speed, conversations over assumptions, and trusting that Calm & Colorful 2.0 will unfold with steady momentum.

This month inside the One Day MBA community event hosted by Len Porcano, I learned about moats — the defenses that protect your business from competitors. In this episode, I share how Calm & Colorful already has natural moats like niche branding, sticky family rituals, and a ripple-driven community, plus how I’m thinking about protecting the mission even as I pivot and adapt. Whether you’re a mama, a business builder, or both, you’ll walk away with practical steps to build your own moat and dream bigger for the future.

In this episode, I share what I learned from a One Day MBA workshop hosted by Juan Linares, that completely reframed how I look at ideas, doubts, and testing in my business.
The big reminder: Don’t talk yourself out of an idea. Test it.
I’ll walk you through the 5 Why’s Forward Framework, the three core questions every idea needs to answer (What problem? For who? Why does it matter?), and why customer discovery matters more than building the “perfect” solution.
You’ll also hear the tension I’m working through — focusing on mamas of toddlers while still feeling pulled to serve all ages and how I’m learning to stay problem-first, not solution-first.
Plus: simple tips you can apply right now to validate your own ideas without overthinking or overbuilding.
