Jenney Korasick — A Day In Her Life

This week, we're sitting down with Jenney Korasick, co-founder and chief brand officer of Leche, the company that freeze-dries breast milk and now makes powdered donor milk, and mom of two (nine and seven) in Los Angeles. Jenney shares her 5:30am start with cold brew straight from the fridge, the hour of time blocking she protects before her kids wake up, and the "real coffee" that comes after school drop-off.

In our conversation, Jenney shares how a freezer so full of breast milk it couldn't hold food, plus a Craigslist post with her home address on it, turned into a business with her friend Trish. We talk rebuilding both her home and her company after the Palisades fire, and why she'd "rather spend 80 hours a week working on something that's mine than 40 hours a week working on something that's somebody else's."

What We Cover:

Why she describes her days as predictable (in that something will always change), busy, and full, and what "full" means to her now.
A night owl who trained herself to wake at 5:30, with a 10:30 bedtime to make it work.
Her weekly rhythm: no outside calls on Mondays, Fridays for wrapping up, and creative work time-blocked on the calendar (even when the inspiration shows up at 10pm).
Dinner as a family ritual, a rotisserie chicken that stretches through the week, and her husband stepping up in the kitchen.
Ten minutes in each kid's bed every night, ending with "What are you proud of today?" (and now her son asks her back).
How Leche started: a book club friendship, babies born a month apart, and the question of why breast milk can't become a powder the way whey protein does.
Life after the Palisades fire: leaning on her co-founder, why her kids' grief showed up a year later, and building back with more intention.
What she outsources: a weekly deep clean that includes sheets and laundry, plus grocery delivery.
The "everything shower," a standing manicure, and the one skinny spicy margarita that happens when her husband travels.
