Ep. 96 - Purpose Between Two Worlds with Jamie Lee Zeno

In this episode, Adam sits down with Jamie Lee Zeno, professionally known as Jay Lee — a licensed esthetician, oncology-certified skincare specialist, life and health coach, law enforcement sergeant, and beauty and wellness entrepreneur. Jamie is the founder and CEO of Jay Lee's Beauty Lounge, a luxury med spa brand based in Westchester County, with a flagship location in Eastchester and an upcoming Hartsdale storefront opening this February.

Jamie's story is a powerful reflection of alignment, discipline, and trusting your inner calling — even when it means redefining success. Born and raised in Brooklyn, she grew up inspired by parents who modeled sacrifice, work ethic, and resilience. While law enforcement initially felt like her path, Jamie shares how COVID became a pivotal moment that helped her reconnect with a deeper calling: helping people heal, regain confidence, and feel whole again through beauty, wellness, and self-care.

This conversation explores the contrast between two demanding worlds — law enforcement and entrepreneurship — and how Jamie learned to honor both without losing herself. She speaks candidly about navigating burnout, standing firm in her values, and choosing integrity over convenience, even when it came at a personal cost.

At its core, this episode is about self-trust, discipline, and living in alignment.

We dive into:
✨ Growing up in Brooklyn and the influence of family, sacrifice, and structure
✨ Lessons from law enforcement on empathy, humility, and non-judgment
✨ Transitioning from public service to entrepreneurship during COVID
✨ Building Beauty with Jay Lee from the ground up
✨ Leadership rooted in selflessness, honesty, and accountability
✨ Why discipline — not motivation — drives real transformation
✨ Creating safe, healing spaces where clients feel seen and heard
✨ The power of routine, patience, and small consistent habits
✨ Trusting intuition and walking by faith when logic says otherwise
✨ Purpose as living your truth and creating lasting impact

Jamie also shares deeply personal insights on breaking generational patterns, developing self-awareness, and understanding how upbringing shapes mindset, discipline, and self-worth. Her work goes far beyond aesthetics — it's about helping people reconnect with themselves and rebuild confidence from the inside out.

This is a raw, inspiring conversation for anyone navigating career transitions, burnout, leadership growth, or the courage it takes to choose alignment over approval.
