hey, I'm jade boyd

So I tried all the things. The planners. The color-coded routines. The productivity hacks. The perfectly optimized schedules.

And while some of it helped… a lot of it just left me feeling like life had become one giant checklist. I was constantly chasing the feeling of finally being “caught up.”

But the more I tried to optimize my life, the more disconnected I felt from actually living it. Eventually, I started realizing something...

For a long time, I thought I could build the perfect productivity system.

It wasn’t built for changing seasons. For motherhood. For burnout. For women balancing creativity, ambition, relationships, homes, businesses, babies, and wellbeing. It wasn’t built for women who wanted meaningful lives — not just efficient ones.

So slowly, I started editing my life differently. Simplifying. Removing pressure. Creating gentler systems. Letting my routines flex with my season. Learning to prioritize peace over perfection. And little by little, life started feeling calmer. Lighter. More intentional. More like mine. That’s the heart behind The Seasonal Edit.

most productivity advice wasn’t built for real life.

My other half

My husband, two kids, and I are based in Iowa - a place with drastically different seasons! Becoming a mom completely reshaped the way I think about productivity, ambition, success, and time.

Once a full-time business coach who helped women scale their service-based businesses, these days I'm mostly a stay-at-home mom who creates productivity content in whatever free time I can find!

I'm an avid reader, creative at heart, love a good DIY interior design project, a coffee snob though-and-through (pour over with freshly roasted and grinded beans please), and an easily overwhelmed person who leans into simplicity to get through life.

I create the content that I need to listen to myself. Because I don’t think we were meant to spend our entire lives trying to catch up, but it's so easy to fall into default mode when life gets busy.

A little bit about me...

My Why

To empower others to create order from chaos so they can live a life of intention and freedom.

this isn't about becoming the most productive version of yourself.

It's about building a life you actually want to live. One with margin. One with intention. One with slower mornings and meaningful work. One where your systems support your life instead of controlling it.

The Seasonal Edit exists for women who want to live thoughtfully instead of reactively. Women who still have goals and ambition — but want to pursue them in a way that feels sustainable, grounded, and aligned with what matters most.
