It Just Doesn’t Happen Overnight

From working on Gwen Stefani’s design team to waitressing at The Cheesecake Factory, Jamie Banks has truly seen it all — and she’ll be the first to tell you, everything happens for a reason.

In this episode, Jamie takes us through the wild ride of her two-decade career in fashion — the early days, the pivots, the reinventions, and the lessons learned along the way. (And yes, a few names are definitely named.) Now the founder and creative director of Change of Scenery, the sustainable swimwear brand she launched in 2022, Jamie shares what it’s really like to build a business from the ground up while raising three children under the age of ten.

She opens up about navigating layoffs, rediscovering her sense of worth, learning how to delegate, and redefining success on her own terms. It’s an honest, high-energy conversation about balance, creativity, and what it takes to keep showing up — in business, motherhood, and friendship.

The vibes are high, the laughter is real, and the creative juices are flowing. Let’s dive in.
