Welcome to The Mom Enterprise, a weekly podcast hosted by Kendra Martinez featuring working Moms who find a way to manage it all.
Episode Guest: Jennifer Lordon
"I have been living in NYC for 20 years with quick stints
in both LA and Miami. I have been in the design industry even
since I moved to NYC. I have worked for major Interior firms such
as Studio Sofield, Andre Balazs (the hotelier but worked on
designing hotels for him in their design dept) Roman and Williams
and GACHOT. When my ex husband left the country and my kids
both emotionally and financially I was left to take care of my
children and myself. I was having to travel so much for work, my
kids were really struggling with their fathers abandonment, and
financially it wasn't adding up with all the child care
expenses. I knew I had to make a change in my career for my
family. So much had happened that I figured "how could possibly one
more thing go wrong" this had to work and I had to make this work
somehow. So I left my job and started Jennifer Lordon Interiors. It
will be 2 years in the spring since I opened the firm. I have
been blessed that business has been great! However, it is a
struggle juggling my business, my three children and their busy
school and social lives. I am so fortunate to have my mom close by
(lives in New Jersey) who helps with the kids (she takes them for
the summer so i can focus solely on work) and I run back and forth
to NJ and NYC during the summer months. I also have an
amazing amazing group of friends and a (fabulous boyfriend) who
help me whenever Im stuck in a bind and need that extra care for
them."
