If that wasn’t enough, Jana is a writer, too. She will be releasing her first book, Wild Beauty, in July. (I’ve seen it, and it’s gorgeous.)

In this episode, we talk about art curation versus creation as well as Jana claiming her artistic confidence through Captain Blankenship. Plus, we discuss how Jana navigated the intersection of career, family and honoring the different parts of herself, including the tiny chemist. At a young age, Jana started making potions. She eventually developed a sensitivity to synthetic fragrance, which as an adult led her to dive headfirst into natural perfumery and research plant-based ingredients. She’s smart, artistic, and resilient - all of which we discuss during our conversation.
