When Jean found herself starting over in life, divorced after a 17-year marriage, with 3 grown kids and a day job that lost its luster, she knew she needed something more. She has always looked for adventure in the smallest moments but realized that the true joy came from sharing those experiences with people around her. Everyday Girl Adventures was born from just that. Jean's brand seeks and organizes fun and unique opportunities to bring people together and create lasting memories. Her goal is to help others recognize the joy of a moment and inspire them to find the adventure in their everyday. Jean also understands the value of women supporting women. As a misfit in the business world, she wanted to create a place where entrepreneurs of all backgrounds could feel empowered coming together, no matter the stage of their business. MissFit Networking Group is a place for just that-it's where every "miss" fits. Jean's flair for adventure and passion for life are no secret to those who meet her. So how does she find adventure in her every day? The answer is simple: she says yes to every opportunity. She would rather take a risk than always wonder what could have been. You only live once-and ultimately, it's the memories, no matter how big or small, that make it all worth living.Obertubbesing, Jaime: - Jaime Obertubbesing has a Bachelor of Arts in English with an emphasis in Elementary Education and a minor in Visual Arts.

There is something special about witnessing that spark in a child's eyes when a concept finally clicks. She also admires how children feel each moment and don't hold back. After wondering at what point we lose that innocence and become so self-aware, she tries to live life through a child's eyes-enjoying each moment for what it is and the memories that come along with them. She is known for taking pictures of everything to capture the value of a moment. She also enjoys creative writing and has always wanted to dip her toes in journalism and editing. Jaime spends her weekends enjoying live music, dancing, soaking up the sunshine as much as possible, and hanging out with friends and family. To her, it never matters what she is doing-it is about enjoying the company she's sharing the experience with. Jaime is always up for a new adventure. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.
