Dating After Divorce, Co-Parenting, Building a Brand, and Finding Confidence with Jade Sklaver

01/29/25 • 42 min

In this episode of 'Life Unscripted,' I sit down with my friend Jade Sklaver, founder of StyleChild, single mom, entrepreneur, and all-around powerhouse. We dive into her journey of building a brand that has taken on a life of its own, from sneakers and events to nationwide retail success.

But that’s just the beginning. Jade opens up about her divorce and how becoming a single mom was both the hardest and most rewarding experience of her life. We get real about co-parenting, dating in Boca (spoiler: everyone knows everyone), blending families, and figuring out what you actually want in a relationship...without lying to yourself. Plus, we talk about confidence, self-awareness, putting ego aside, and unapologetically doing what makes you happy.

Whether you’re navigating a breakup, dating with kids, or just need a reminder that this too shall pass, this episode is packed with raw, relatable, and unfiltered insights.

Raw and Real with Jason and Julie: The Ultimate Guide to Life, Lessons, and What Really Matters

This week, in a special birthday episode of Life Unscripted, Jason and I recorded our very first episode together - and it’s as raw and real as it gets. From chasing passions and finding resilience in failure to embracing the present moment and redefining happiness, we dive into the lessons and questions that shape us. Jason shares his unfiltered take on my best (and worst!) qualities, we reflect on what we’ve learned about life and relationships, and we ask: What really matters at the end of the day?

It’s funny, heartfelt, and packed with the kind of insights that will make you laugh, think, and maybe even see things a little differently. (Pro tip: feel free to 2x the speed when Jason dives into his history tangents...you’re welcome.)

This is one you don’t want to miss - real talk, real lessons, and plenty of laughs.

The Unwritten Rules of Life We All Just Know (solo episode)

Some rules in life don’t need to be written down...we all just know them. Like how you must give The WaveTM when someone lets you merge, or how texting ‘K’ instead of ‘Okay’ is basically an act of war. These unspoken rules shape how we move through life, and we never really question them... until now.

In this solo episode, I’m diving into the universal, unwritten rules we all instinctively follow, whether we realize it or not. From social etiquette to texting habits, public interactions, and the little lies we all tell, consider this your unofficial guide to existing in society (without being that person).

This conversation was inspired by my latest 'Off the Record' newsletter. If you loved this episode, go check it out for more fun takes on life’s unspoken rulebook and beyond. Read it here: https://julielauren.substack.com/
