For more than 15 years, Vanessa Stephens has been climbing the corporate ladder in the finance industry. She’s worked long hours, in demanding roles with a long list of responsibilities. But as a driven and successful woman, she’s experienced first-hand that hard work can sometimes come at the expense of competing priorities, especially for those career-focused executives, working mums, and entrepreneurs. Vanessa wants to change the lives of these women, with her app FlowJam.

Many career-focused women find that it’s difficult – even impossible – to perform at a high level in their jobs and also keep up with all of their other responsibilities. If you’re managing a busy career along with a home life, a partner, children, hobbies … the first thing to fall off your plate is arguably the most important: your self-care.

“Self-care” has been a trendy topic in the last few years. It makes many conjure up images of women sitting in bubble baths reading home décor magazines surrounded by scented candles. While it’s an easy concept to laugh at, self-care can be anything that makes you feel good! A morning run, reading a favorite book, even just taking time to eat some ice cream and watch an old romantic comedy.
When you take care of yourself, you’re making it possible to keep giving to all the other responsibilities in your life.

Vanessa was struggling to find balance and take care of herself until she stumbled upon the idea of creating rituals.

“Your routine triggers your state of flow, and when you are in your flow, you’re basically in the zone,” she said. “You're connected and inspired, you're at your most creative and you can think clearly and are more productive to achieve your dreams.”

Once she built a morning and evening routine and followed them every day, she suddenly found the rest of her life feeling not only more manageable but more enjoyable.

“When I don’t take time for myself, I’m not able to be really present for the beauty, the magic and the joy of life, nor am I able to be at my personal best or living up to my full potential.”

Her daily rituals made it possible for this corporate woman to be a boss babe in all aspects of her life. When she started taking the time to recharge, and she was able to be more mindful and energetic. It can feel like there’s no time for daily self-care, but Vanessa found that building those small rituals actually made her more productive during the rest of her day.

But she didn’t stop there. Vanessa recognized the huge difference these daily rituals had made in her life. She was eager to find a way to share them with other women who were having the same struggles.

That’s why she created FlowJam.

This app is unique. It’s about helping you build the best possible version of your life, and then helping you stick to that commitment.

“FlowJam provides the formula for the perfect day,” Vanessa explained. “FlowJam allows you to create your own morning and evening rituals, (in the app we call them flows) to set you up for a successful day. Having a regular routine improves your mood, your state of mind, your creativity, focus, passion and drive.”
FlowJam is flexible to fit the needs of many women. You can build your ritual out of things that are already set up in the app (like journaling or drinking a cup of tea) or add things that are unique to you (maybe you absolutely love starting out your day by going for a morning swim). FlowJam is about creating the rituals that help you be your best self.

Every morning and evening, the FlowJam app will guide you through your routine and help you start and end your day feeling refreshed and ready to either hit the ground running or enjoy a restful night of sleep. You might have to wake up a bit earlier to have time for your routine or shorten up your TV time in the evening, and that can be a difficult transition. However, when you stick to a FlowJam routine for just a short amount of time, you’ll be amazed by the difference it can make in your life.

Vanessa was likely just like you. A woman who works hard in her career, works hard to keep a clean home and make time for the people who matter in her life. A woman who constantly felt like she was falling behind without enough hours in the day. But not anymore. She still works hard each day, but now finds there’s plenty of time to achieve all of her goals – because she’s built rituals that allow her to get there.

FlowJam provides the formula to set you up for a perfect day, be at your best and live up to your full
potential. 

Flowjam is now available for download from the App Store and Google Play.
