BDA Baby (Before, During and After Baby)

In this pre-baby, pre-recorded episode, I sit down with Jordan Harper, founder and CEO of Barefaced, to explore her incredible journey of launching a thriving skincare brand while navigating the chaos of motherhood.
We kick off by tackling pregnancy-specific skincare challenges, like melasma, and Jordan shares her expert insights on how to care for your skin during this unique time. But the conversation doesn’t stop there—we delve into her entrepreneurial journey, which began when she had an 8-month-old and was pregnant with her second child.
Jordan opens up about the challenges of building a business while balancing the demands of motherhood, her time-management strategies (hello, time-blocking!), and the key books that help her reset her focus each year. Her story is one of resilience, innovation, and passion, and it’s packed with actionable advice for anyone striving to balance multiple roles while pursuing their dreams.
Tune in for an inspiring episode that’s all about taking risks, trusting your instincts, and redefining what’s possible as a mom and entrepreneur!
