We had the good fortune of connecting with Jessica Foster and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jessica, how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
I am originally from Beaumont, TX. I have always aimed for more when it comes to my work. I have done so much in admin from Legal Secretary to Human Resources. but all that changed when I became a mother of my three beautiful kids. Finding the balance was hard in the beginning, which led me to become a full-time stay-at-home mom. Being a mother of three is not easy, especially when your youngest is two. We all know how crazy and hectic that can be. While being home with the children, I missed social interaction, which led to me to discover the world of social media. Through social media I found inspiration and an outlet where I could be myself. As I result, I’ve gained many followers and many friends.

Now, after nine years of being a stay home mom, and all 3 being in school, I am ready to once again ready to conquer the workforce.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I would say my art is fashion, especially make-up/hair. I love to experiment with different looks, one day I will look like one person, and the next day, I’ll look completely different.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them to visit Discovery Green, see live events at the Miller Outdoor Theatre, drink at The Truckyard, we would visit Meow Wolf and eat at El Tiempo.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
It’s cliche, but without my children Luke, Gwen, and Dylan, I would have nothing. My Aunt and mother who have loved me before I learned to love myself. My stepdads Terry and Rick. Stepmom Mary. I would like to thank my brothers Adam and Jaime who are the main men in my life, and my sister Hillary, I would like to recognize my friends and followers who have become like family.
