In today’s episode, I’m joined by Jackie Kai Ellis, a multi-hyphenate who splits her time between Paris and Vancouver. Jackie has started many creative and artistic endeavors in her life. Big and Small. After pursuing her passion for pastry in Paris, Jackie opened an award winning bakery and cafe Bouquet in Vancouver, which she has since then sold to two of her original teams. She wrote a memoir - The Measure of My Powers which later became a national best seller. She created The Paris Tour that hosts pastry tours in Paris, and now she writes an advice column- Ask Jackie for Vitruvi’s Natural Habitat magazine and is the head of Product development for Flax Home.

In this conversation, we talk about memory, its fluidity, movement and how it influences the way we see ourselves. We talk about Jackie’s creative process of writing her memoir and what it has helped her discover. We also touch upon digital footprint and exchange thoughts. We caught Jackie in a very transitional space as she is expecting her first baby- at the age of 42. She also shares how she is feeling now about becoming a mother.
