Camille (00:00):
But I found that these one-on-one times with my kids
have been invaluable forunderstanding where they are,
what they need help with andways that we can talk about
something if there is correctionthat is needed.
So you want to make an impact.
(00:22):
You're thinking about startinga business, sharing your voice.
How do women do it that handlemotherhood, family and still
chase after those dreams?
We'll listen each week as wedive into the stories of women
who know this is Call Me CEO.
Welcome back everyone to CallMe CEO.
(00:43):
This is your host, camilleWalker, and today is going to be
a little different.
We have Jayne, my daughter,with us.
Jayne is 14 years old and goinginto the ninth grade, and she
wanted to be on the podcast andI said yes, because how fun is
that?
And we're going to be talking alittle bit about how it was for
her to grow up, with me being astay-at-home working mom and
(01:08):
Jayne pretty much.
I think when I started my blog,it was in the year 2011, and she
was born at the very, very endof 2010.
So she's known nothingdifferent.
She's seen me go through manydifferent iterations of what it
meant for me to be working fromhome, having a live cooking show
to a YouTube series, toblogging, to working with
(01:30):
sponsors, doing travel togetheras a family, and now as a
podcast host and business coachfor women.
So she's seen me do a lot ofdifferent things.
I don't know what she's goingto say, so this should be pretty
fun and I'm really proud of herand excited that she's on the
show.
So thanks for being here today,jane.
Jayne (01:49):
You're welcome.
Camille (01:51):
Now, this was your idea , so we're going to expect you
to be really excited to talk.
Okay, so the first question andI will admit I got these
questions from ChatGPT because Ididn't know exactly what to ask
, but these are themes that Janewanted to share about.
So what is your earliest memoryof me working from home?
Jayne (02:13):
Um, when you made us, we we did like the sponsor deal for
lasagna and and we me andJackson had to like eat it at
the table and it tasted reallybad because we don't like
lasagna.
Camille (02:29):
Okay, that's really funny because that is like one
of the last big sponsored poststhat I did.
That was a sponsored event, sothat is like I don't know.
Seven years in, that's reallyyour earliest.
Jayne (02:43):
Well, I just remember you taking pictures.
Camille (02:47):
Taking pictures A lot, a lot.
Okay, well, a lot of my kids'experience with sponsored
content was pictures, becauseback in the day of strictly
blogging and not doing as muchvideo, it was pictures, which
was nice because there wasn't awhole lot of scripted video.
(03:08):
The one she's referring to isactually a post I did for
Stouffer's Lasagna, and themedia company that was partnered
between myself and Stouffer'sLasagna was very picky about
exactly what the kids said,exactly how they held their
forks, exactly how they did this, that and the other.
That was actually one of thereasons why I shifted my online
(03:32):
career was that sponsored post,because it was so painful.
Yeah, we had to redo it likefive times, yes, and there had
been times in the past wherethey sent a crew to our house to
film things, but never to thepoint where they were saying you
have to say this and you haveto act this way and your kids
have to say these words, andthat was actually what was a big
(03:53):
shift in me wanting to dosomething different.
So it's funny that you rememberthat, because that was actually
, I think, maybe seven or eightyears in of me doing that kind
of work that I shifted it.
So, number two what's theweirdest or funniest thing
you've overheard while I was ona work call?
Jayne (04:19):
I don't really listen to your calls.
Camille (04:23):
Or doing a podcast interview, I guess.
Jayne (04:26):
Podcast interview.
Well, I think it's just funnyhow you just change your voice
every time you talk.
Camille (04:32):
Yeah, she makes fun of me when I'm filming, whether
it's like a video for stories ora podcast episode.
She's like your voice soundsdifferent and it's hard not to
do that because it is.
It's more of like apresentation, like a higher
energy level voice, and withoutmeaning to, we kind of change
our voices sometimes, which I amguilty.
(04:53):
Okay, do you think having a momwho works from home is
different from your friends'moms who work outside the house,
and how?
Jayne (05:12):
the house, and how?
Yes, because you get to pickyour schedule and my friend's
moms don't get to pick theirschedule and sometimes they're
alone at home.
Camille (05:17):
Yeah, that has been a benefit, for sure, of being able
to pick and choose my time.
If you had to describe my jobto a stranger in one sentence,
what would you say?
She has seven jobs, seven jobs,what?
But what would it?
What do I do Like?
How would you describe it?
Jayne (05:38):
In one word podcast.
Camille (05:41):
In one sentence oh, one sentence she does, she records
podcasts okay, how did my jobaffect the way you see your own
future career?
Jayne (06:00):
uh, well, you could do whatever you want Like with your
life.
Camille (06:11):
you don't have to do what your degree says yeah, do
you know what you want to do?
No, james, right at ninth grade.
So it's getting to that phaseof career exploration, and what
is it that you want to do, orwhat do you want to study, or
what do you want to study, orwhat do you want to to devote
your time?
So it's an exciting timebecause you're right at the
(06:32):
stage of kind of figuring it out.
All right, do you thinkwatching me work's made me more
motivated in school?
Jayne (06:40):
because it helps me have a good work.
Ethic.
Camille (06:58):
Well, that's a good good.
I'm glad to hear that.
It's funny too, because whenshe says that you don't have to
do what you got your degree in,my degree is in family consumer
science education.
So traditionally speaking, withmy degree I would be teaching
family consumer science classesin a classroom setting.
But with what I did with mycareer, I took all of those
(07:21):
topics and put it online onto ablog called mymommystylecom and
ultimately used the skills thatI learned in college and what I
would be teaching in a classroom, but then brought it online.
So it's kind of cool how thatcame full circle and, through
coaching, I feel like that'sreally brought my teaching
degree into practice as well,because that's one of my
(07:42):
favorite parts of what I do iscoaching women and helping other
people to run their businessesmore efficiently.
All right, so what's somethingyou've seen me do and you think,
wow, that's real dedication.
Jayne (07:56):
Sometimes you record a lot of podcast things in one day
and it takes a long time.
That's a lot of dedication andit takes a long time.
Camille (08:03):
That's a lot of dedication.
Bulk content creation that is agood skill.
Jayne (08:11):
Do you do that with your homework sometimes, where you
bulk and do things like that,yeah, when I forget to do it at
the end of the term.
Camille (08:17):
Yeah, we're working on that.
Like doing it ahead of time,huh, when you don't feel like
doing your work, what do youremind yourself of to push
through?
Jayne (08:32):
I remind myself that I want to do good in school, so I
have to work, and if I don't,then I'll have a lot of extra at
the end.
Camille (08:44):
That's painful.
If you could steal one of myhabits or routines to help you
in high school, what would it be?
Jayne (08:51):
Working out every day.
Camille (08:55):
I do like to work out every day.
I have found that if I go to thegym in the morning it sets my
day for so much more successbecause I'm more in a forward
momentum of getting things doneand my head is clear and I feel
better.
Just, I have more mental clarity, my body feels better.
So for sure that's beensomething that's really helped
(09:18):
me a lot.
So one thing that Jayne hasdone, and also my older son,
Jackson, is doing summer classesthat help you get ahead in
junior high and high school, andwe have made this a practice so
that as they go into their highschool and junior high years
specifically high school thatthey have more space in their
(09:41):
schedule to have a little morecushion for classes that aren't
so intense and that they getextra classes out of the way.
So because my oldest son hasdone this for his senior year,
he's going to be able to sleepin every day and have a later
start, which is a huge boon tohim.
(10:02):
He's really excited about thatbecause he really needs his
sleep.
So that's one of the benefitsfor him that he's able to still
get his classwork done and allthe credits he needs and sleep
in his entire senior year, whichis a win.
So, Jayne, you're in a summerclass right now.
What made you say yes to takingsummer classes?
Jayne (10:23):
It made me say yes, because Jackson did it and
because it makes it so you havean extra elective, so you don't
have as much like school classesto do in the year.
Camille (10:37):
Yeah, and you've been able to do a lot of
extracurriculars already, likelast year, you were doing choir
and you did orchestra and youdid what are some extras that
you were able to do?
Jayne (10:52):
uh, I did facts, family, consumer science, and I did
trying to remember.
I can't really.
Camille (11:08):
I think, because you did it, you were able to do um
choir and orchestra, becauseusually people don't have enough
space that they could do that.
But you had extra space, whichwas nice.
So what's the most surprisingthing you've learned from doing
school in the summer?
Jayne (11:26):
I've learned that you can't like.
Right now I'm doing gym and Ithought it would just be like
exercising, but I've actuallylearned a lot about like
cardiovascular health and stufflike that.
Camille (11:43):
That's awesome.
Do you think summer classes areworth it or do you feel like
you're missing out?
I think they're worth itbecause they're easy.
Yeah, and you know what?
This is actually a practicethat I did in my college years.
I took summer classes when Iwas in university and it made it
so that I was able to graduateahead of schedule and the summer
(12:06):
classes are generally quite abit easier.
So that's a hack for anyone inschooling.
I feel like because they haveto cut out so much of the fluff,
you have less studying to dofor less tests, and it's really
they trim the fat, so to speak,of all the things that you have
to learn, which makes it a loteasier.
(12:26):
What would you tell a kid whosays summer is for fun, not
studying?
Jayne (12:31):
who says summer is for fun, not studying, I would tell
him you can do whatever you want, but I just get bored at summer
.
Camille (12:45):
So I just do summer school.
Hey, my friends, just poppingin here really quick to say if
you are drowning in a to-do listbut never actually getting
anything done, I hear you.
This is the time to take backcontrol of your day, and I've
created a product for you, forfree, that will help you to do
this.
It's called the ultimate timeaudit and productivity system.
It is a free resource to helpyou pinpoint exactly where your
(13:06):
time is going and what youshould be delegating.
My coaching involves a lot oftime spent with business owners
who are losing time valuabletime on menial tasks that they
could either delegate or createa system around, but first
needing to understand how theirtime is being used.
So imagine having more time foryour family, your business and
(13:26):
yourself, without the constantoverwhelm.
You can grab your free copy inthe link below or at
camillewalkerco, and startworking smarter, not harder.
Camillewalkerco is the website,but go ahead and grab that link
below and I would love to helpyou take back your time right
now.
Yeah, and this summer I mean,my kids have done like one to
(13:48):
two classes a summer.
We're not talking like loadsand loads of work, but it's
enough that it gives them somestructure and something that
helps them to feel productiveand they're getting some things
done and, honestly, it givesthem more sense of purpose,
because I think it does get to apoint in summer where it feels
like you're not doing a wholelot, which can be boring.
(14:08):
So it's been a benefit for usfor sure.
So what's your favorite memoryof us during a workday when we
squeezed in some fun?
Jayne (14:22):
um, my favorite memory of us doing a work day where we
squeezed in some fun was well,it wasn't really with you, but I
was out of sleep over with mycousins and we were all behind
on our because we all did summerclasses, so we were all behind.
So then we just all like justwe all went on our homework and
(14:46):
we just did like 15 assignmentsand it was really fun.
And then after that we likewatched a movie, I think.
Camille (14:54):
Very cool.
I actually think that questionwas referring to like when I'm
working from home and then we dosomething fun together.
But that's okay.
I like your answer too.
If I had a reality show calledMom CEO Live, what would the
opening scene look like?
Jayne (15:15):
Mom CEO.
Camille (15:16):
Live.
That's just.
Chatgpt came up with thesequestions, so we're just going
with it.
Jayne (15:24):
We're just going with it.
Mom, ceo, lie.
I think the opening scene wouldbe probably my mom would be
probably like I don't even know,writing in her Planner Planner,
one of her planners.
Camille (15:45):
Why don't you tell them about what we do on Sundays?
That kind of relates to thatWriting in my planner.
On Sundays we have familymeetings and we write in our
planner and we talk about whatwe're going to do and how do you
like it?
Jayne (16:09):
Do you like it?
Camille (16:09):
They're really boring and I don't like being on a
schedule, so what does it looklike when we call you in?
What is?
What are the family meetingslook like?
Jayne (16:16):
uh, first you have one of the kids volunteer to go first,
and then they get the other kid, and then you go in and I sit
on the couch and my mom and dadsit on the bed and they go what
do you want to do for the, forthe week?
And I go hang out with myfriends and go to volleyball and
(16:37):
they're like, okay, we'll writethat in the planner.
And they're like, okay, sotoday, that's the summer version
I today we're going to the lake, and then they write in the
planner.
Camille (16:54):
All right, so I'm going to help you out with this.
When the kids were young, westarted this, and a big piece of
this was we actually used tohost something called a family
store.
A big piece of this was weactually used to host something
called a family store I don'tknow if you remember this, jane
where they would earn stickersor these little like pom-poms,
where they could buy things fromthe store from good behavior
(17:14):
and also from accomplishing thetasks that they needed to do for
the day, whether that was likegetting something done or
practicing something that theywere working toward done or
practicing something that theywere working toward.
There was actually a time whereJane had a habit of screaming
very loudly, and my son gave herthe nickname a banshee, because
it was like a piercing,piercing scream.
(17:36):
She was probably five.
Do you remember this, okay?
Jayne (17:39):
In my defense he was chasing me in the house.
They all have their reasons andit was my only defense
mechanism.
Camille (17:47):
Yeah, I mean, we work with what we can.
So the idea was we help thekids come up with a goal for the
week and then we try to put apositive spin on it.
So our goal for the week duringthat time in her life was to
have a kind voice, or to useyour voice with happy sounds,
and so rather than saying noscreaming or not screaming, we
(18:10):
would say let's see how oftenyou can use a kind or a happy
voice, and then when I noticedher using a kind or happy voice,
I would reward her with thesepom-poms.
Then at the end of the weekthey would have a family store
where they could get like littletreats or toys or things like
that.
As they've gotten older, therewards that they're wanting are
more like time with friends orscreen time, or even they want
(18:34):
to earn money for something, orit turns into something like
that.
So we still get together andtalk about what are your goals
for this week?
What do you have coming up thatwe can support you with?
Is there anything that you wantto talk to us about, one-on-one
and that sort of thing?
So it's evolved as the yearshave gone on, but I found that
these one-on-one times with mykids have been invaluable for
(18:55):
understanding where they are,what they need help with and
ways that we can talk aboutsomething if there is correction
that is needed.
So that is all of the contentwe have today, all the questions
we have for you today, exceptfor this one final question,
jane if we were to start abusiness together, what would it
(19:17):
be and what would your role be?
Jayne (19:20):
Our business would be to make planners, because you
really like planners, and yourjob would be to sell them and
ship them, and my job would beto design them.
Camille (19:38):
It's not a bad idea.
She's a great designer.
Well, these are our questionsand answers we have today.
If you have any follow-up ofthis or you want us to cover
topics, I was telling Jayne thatmaybe in the future we could
talk about junior high girls andfriends and bullying and how to
handle those situations.
I don't know if she'd be up forthat, but if that is of
(20:00):
interest to you or any othertopics, please let us know.
And, Jayne, thank you for beinga guest on Call Me CEO today.
Jayne (20:08):
You're welcome.
Camille (20:10):
All right, we'll see you next time.

But I found that these one-on-one times with my kids
have been invaluable forunderstanding where they are,
what they need help with andways that we can talk about
something if there is correctionthat is needed.
So you want to make an impact.
(00:22):

And we're going to be talking alittle bit about how it was for

Podcast interview.

So for sure that's beensomething that's really helped
(09:18):
me a lot.
So one thing that Jayne hasdone, and also my older son,
Jackson, is doing summer classesthat help you get ahead in
junior high and high school, andwe have made this a practice so
that as they go into their highschool and junior high years
specifically high school thatthey have more space in their
(09:41):
schedule to have a little morecushion for classes that aren't
so intense and that they getextra classes out of the way.
So because my oldest son hasdone this for his senior year,
he's going to be able to sleepin every day and have a later
start, which is a huge boon tohim.
(10:02):
He's really excited about thatbecause he really needs his
sleep.
So that's one of the benefitsfor him that he's able to still
get his classwork done and allthe credits he needs and sleep
in his entire senior year, whichis a win.
So, Jayne, you're in a summerclass right now.
What made you say yes to takingsummer classes?
Jayne (10:23):
It made me say yes, because Jackson did it and
because it makes it so you havean extra elective, so you don't
have as much like school classesto do in the year.
Camille (10:37):
Yeah, and you've been able to do a lot of
extracurriculars already, likelast year, you were doing choir
and you did orchestra and youdid what are some extras that
you were able to do?
Jayne (10:52):
uh, I did facts, family, consumer science, and I did
trying to remember.
I can't really.
Camille (11:08):
I think, because you did it, you were able to do um
choir and orchestra, becauseusually people don't have enough
space that they could do that.
But you had extra space, whichwas nice.
So what's the most surprisingthing you've learned from doing
school in the summer?
Jayne (11:26):
I've learned that you can't like.
Right now I'm doing gym and Ithought it would just be like
exercising, but I've actuallylearned a lot about like
cardiovascular health and stufflike that.
Camille (11:43):
That's awesome.
Do you think summer classes areworth it or do you feel like
you're missing out?
I think they're worth itbecause they're easy.
Yeah, and you know what?
This is actually a practicethat I did in my college years.
I took summer classes when Iwas in university and it made it
so that I was able to graduateahead of schedule and the summer
(12:06):
classes are generally quite abit easier.
So that's a hack for anyone inschooling.
I feel like because they haveto cut out so much of the fluff,
you have less studying to dofor less tests, and it's really
they trim the fat, so to speak,of all the things that you have
to learn, which makes it a loteasier.
(12:26):
What would you tell a kid whosays summer is for fun, not
studying?
Jayne (12:31):
who says summer is for fun, not studying, I would tell
him you can do whatever you want, but I just get bored at summer
.
Camille (12:45):
So I just do summer school.
Hey, my friends, just poppingin here really quick to say if
you are drowning in a to-do listbut never actually getting
anything done, I hear you.
This is the time to take backcontrol of your day, and I've
created a product for you, forfree, that will help you to do
this.
It's called the ultimate timeaudit and productivity system.
It is a free resource to helpyou pinpoint exactly where your
(13:06):
time is going and what youshould be delegating.
My coaching involves a lot oftime spent with business owners
who are losing time valuabletime on menial tasks that they
could either delegate or createa system around, but first
needing to understand how theirtime is being used.
So imagine having more time foryour family, your business and
(13:26):
yourself, without the constantoverwhelm.
You can grab your free copy inthe link below or at
camillewalkerco, and startworking smarter, not harder.
Camillewalkerco is the website,but go ahead and grab that link
below and I would love to helpyou take back your time right
now.
Yeah, and this summer I mean,my kids have done like one to
(13:48):
two classes a summer.
We're not talking like loadsand loads of work, but it's
enough that it gives them somestructure and something that
helps them to feel productiveand they're getting some things
done and, honestly, it givesthem more sense of purpose,
because I think it does get to apoint in summer where it feels
like you're not doing a wholelot, which can be boring.
(14:08):
So it's been a benefit for usfor sure.
So what's your favorite memoryof us during a workday when we
squeezed in some fun?
Jayne (14:22):
um, my favorite memory of us doing a work day where we
squeezed in some fun was well,it wasn't really with you, but I
was out of sleep over with mycousins and we were all behind
on our because we all did summerclasses, so we were all behind.
So then we just all like justwe all went on our homework and
(14:46):
we just did like 15 assignmentsand it was really fun.
And then after that we likewatched a movie, I think.
Camille (14:54):
Very cool.
I actually think that questionwas referring to like when I'm
working from home and then we dosomething fun together.
But that's okay.
I like your answer too.
If I had a reality show calledMom CEO Live, what would the
opening scene look like?
Jayne (15:15):
Mom CEO.
Camille (15:16):
Live.
That's just.
Chatgpt came up with thesequestions, so we're just going
with it.
Jayne (15:24):
We're just going with it.
Mom, ceo, lie.
I think the opening scene wouldbe probably my mom would be
probably like I don't even know,writing in her Planner Planner,
one of her planners.
Camille (15:45):
Why don't you tell them about what we do on Sundays?
That kind of relates to thatWriting in my planner.
On Sundays we have familymeetings and we write in our
planner and we talk about whatwe're going to do and how do you
like it?
Jayne (16:09):
Do you like it?
Camille (16:09):
They're really boring and I don't like being on a
schedule, so what does it looklike when we call you in?
What is?
What are the family meetingslook like?
Jayne (16:16):
uh, first you have one of the kids volunteer to go first,
and then they get the other kid, and then you go in and I sit
on the couch and my mom and dadsit on the bed and they go what
do you want to do for the, forthe week?
And I go hang out with myfriends and go to volleyball and
(16:37):
they're like, okay, we'll writethat in the planner.
And they're like, okay, sotoday, that's the summer version
I today we're going to the lake, and then they write in the
planner.
Camille (16:54):
All right, so I'm going to help you out with this.
When the kids were young, westarted this, and a big piece of
this was we actually used tohost something called a family
store.
A big piece of this was weactually used to host something
called a family store I don'tknow if you remember this, jane
where they would earn stickersor these little like pom-poms,
where they could buy things fromthe store from good behavior
(17:14):
and also from accomplishing thetasks that they needed to do for
the day, whether that was likegetting something done or
practicing something that theywere working toward done or
practicing something that theywere working toward.
There was actually a time whereJane had a habit of screaming
very loudly, and my son gave herthe nickname a banshee, because
it was like a piercing,piercing scream.
(17:36):
She was probably five.
Do you remember this, okay?
Jayne (17:39):
In my defense he was chasing me in the house.
They all have their reasons andit was my only defense
mechanism.
Camille (17:47):
Yeah, I mean, we work with what we can.
So the idea was we help thekids come up with a goal for the
week and then we try to put apositive spin on it.
So our goal for the week duringthat time in her life was to
have a kind voice, or to useyour voice with happy sounds,
and so rather than saying noscreaming or not screaming, we
(18:10):
would say let's see how oftenyou can use a kind or a happy
voice, and then when I noticedher using a kind or happy voice,
I would reward her with thesepom-poms.
Then at the end of the weekthey would have a family store
where they could get like littletreats or toys or things like
that.
As they've gotten older, therewards that they're wanting are
more like time with friends orscreen time, or even they want
(18:34):
to earn money for something, orit turns into something like
that.
So we still get together andtalk about what are your goals
for this week?
What do you have coming up thatwe can support you with?
Is there anything that you wantto talk to us about, one-on-one
and that sort of thing?
So it's evolved as the yearshave gone on, but I found that
these one-on-one times with mykids have been invaluable for
(18:55):
understanding where they are,what they need help with and
ways that we can talk aboutsomething if there is correction
that is needed.
So that is all of the contentwe have today, all the questions
we have for you today, exceptfor this one final question,
jane if we were to start abusiness together, what would it
(19:17):
be and what would your role be?
Jayne (19:20):
Our business would be to make planners, because you
really like planners, and yourjob would be to sell them and
ship them, and my job would beto design them.
Camille (19:38):
It's not a bad idea.
She's a great designer.
Well, these are our questionsand answers we have today.
If you have any follow-up ofthis or you want us to cover
topics, I was telling Jayne thatmaybe in the future we could
talk about junior high girls andfriends and bullying and how to
handle those situations.
I don't know if she'd be up forthat, but if that is of
(20:00):
interest to you or any othertopics, please let us know.
And, Jayne, thank you for beinga guest on Call Me CEO today.
Jayne (20:08):
You're welcome.
Camille (20:10):
All right, we'll see you next time.
