Ep. 18: [Part 2] Mommy Self-Care and Morning Routines with Jesse Draper

In Part 2, Jesse and I dive into wellness and self-care as a busy mom. After having a health scare when her second kid was 3 months old, Jesse realized she needed to focus on making sure she took care of herself.

Jesse Draper is the Founding Partner of Halogen Ventures, an LA-based early stage venture capital fund focused on investing in female founded consumer technology. She's a 4th generation venture capitalist (just watch the show Meet the Drapers), a former Nickelodeon star and also the creator and host of the Emmy nominated TV series, The Valley Girl Show.

But of all the hats she wears, her MAIN ROLE (and most important) is as the mother to 2 little boys.

Juggling her role as investor, "mother to companies", mother to 2 boys, wife and more is no easy feat especially with two full-time working parents.
