Episode #7 - Amanda Jones Vaughan
“It’s all about having two feet on the ground. Sometimes you’re going to be leaning one way or the other. Sometimes you’re going to get pulled one way or the other. But it’s just reminding yourself.”
In this episode:
Jennifer sits down with Amanda Jones Vaughan—mother of four boys, vintage enthusiast, creative tastemaker, and someone who has thoughtfully built a life that feels deeply personal in the midst of constant motion.
Known for her effortless style, love of collecting beautiful things with history, and ability to create warmth and connection wherever she goes – Amanda shares how she has remained connected to herself through motherhood, career evolution, grief, friendship, and the ever-changing seasons of life. Drawing inspiration from family, treasured vintage finds, and the women who came before her, Amanda reflects on the role that style, home, and personal rituals play in shaping identity.
Together, Jennifer and Amanda discuss raising four boys while nurturing creativity, the friendships that sustain us during busy years, and the challenge of balancing ambition with presence. They also explore Amanda's transition from working behind iconic brands to becoming a trusted voice and tastemaker in her own right, including her recent Antonio Melani collaboration with Dillard's inspired by some of her most treasured vintage pieces.
At its heart, this conversation is about building a life that feels like your own—holding onto who you are while embracing who you're becoming, and finding beauty in the little things along the way.
