Jade Swee: On living her childhood dream, business best friends, and approaching parenting with curiosity and creativity

I’m not going to lie - I felt equal parts awe and envy when I got to get personal with today’s guest, Jade Swee. How many of us get to say that we are living our childhood dream? Jade is the fashion designer behind bespoke label Time Taken to Make a Dress, and counts having a solid friend in her business partner Leticia Phay as a key factor in their success. Mom to 8-year-old Lucas and 5-year-old Elliot, Jade is on an ongoing discovery of her parenting style and often finds herself tapping on her skills as a bespoke designer - curiosity and creativity - to adapt to her family’s growing needs and changing dynamics.

In this episode, we talk about:
- Pursuing her passion in fashion and following through with dedication for over two decades and counting
- Going into business with her good friend, and journeying through life's milestones together
- How she is considering a career switch to early childhood education
- Appreciating her own upbringing, and at the same time being aware of the parts she wants to break away from as a parent herself
- Discovering positive parenting through her network and parenting coach
- How her personal, business and parenting values align
