If you're still working a full time job and you're trying to grow your jewelry business. If you're someone who is a full time mom, trying to make time to get your business off the ground or you're someone who just wants to transition from your career and do it all. I'm interviewing a designer named Candice Eve Padro of Abstracted Reverie.
And she joined our Laying The Foundation program about 10 months ago or so. And I just love hearing her story because she is talking about what it actually has taken her to navigate. Building her business on the side while working a full-time job while launching her first website right before COVID hit and all the things and how she's really navigated that as a creative, I think you'll find this really inspiring if you're someone who gets frazzled by your business a lot if you're someone who is working a full-time job and you just think that there's no way that you could get your business off the ground or whatever it might be. Or even if you're just busy in general.

It takes a lot of courage to walk away from an abusive relationship. So, when your jewelry business is part of the reason that you’re able to get out, heal and move forward…
Well, that’s a true WHY for going all in on it!
On the podcast today, I interviewed a very courageous woman, Claire Steckel of Skoll and Jewelry.
She took a bet on herself to go all in on her jewelry business to quit her job, leave an abusive relationship, and lean into her strengths as a maker.
During the episode, we chat about…

One of the biggest reasons that creative businesses fail is because they aren't structured and they don't have a systematic way to grow their company. And so even though they might have gotten some success and sales and traction, you know, just doing all the things and putting themselves out there. What ends up happening is eventually they end up backtracking because they don't have the structure internally in their business to actually set themselves up for success. So if you are struggling as a creative to get more traction in your business with your jewelry or your product business, you are going to love today's interview. So make sure that you listen in for the reason why…

Imagine it’s 6 months from now and you have a website that’s making sales from people you didn’t know, collections that are sold out, and an increase in overall sales by 30%?
If you’re a maker who’s starting your business in retirement,, I think you’d feel pretty good, right?
That’s what happened when Rina Luban decided to be open to the *signs* to be ready to be ready to be ready (nod to Abraham Hicks)...
…so that when the teacher showed up, she was ready to learn and change.
On today’s episode of Thrive by Design, Rina shares her journey from retiring from her job as a physical therapist to building a lifestyle jewelry business in her next chapter.
She shares…

Inspiration comes in a lot of places and today I want to feature an amazing story. You could say from rags to riches maybe of a student of ours named Quay Flom. She went from being in a really bad place of being in extreme poverty, to now running multiple six figure business and I'm really excited to dive into her story on today's Thrive by Design Podcast.

If you have one of those “soul-sucking” day jobs with no opportunity for growth….
Or you just want to be inspired by another jewelry maker doing big things…
You’ll love this story!
Whenever I hear a good “I-quit-my-full-time-job-to-pursue-my-jewelry-biz” story, I have to learn more – especially when that designer doubled her online sales and now has 23 wholesale accounts – in just a year.
Pretty mind-blowing and exciting at the same time!
Meet Rosie Harris of Joie Designs. I interviewed her on the Thrive by Design Podcast about her phenomenal growth over this last year.
During this inspiring episode, we chat about…
Rosie wrapped the episode by sharing: “If you saw the progress I've made, it's phenomenal. That progress feeds my confidence to go forward into my next set of goals.”
Her progress came from following our step-by-step business building roadmap in the Laying the Foundation Program after she joined at this time last year.

I wanted to come in and talk today a little bit more about creating your signature style and a look that you're known for.But what I really want to encourage everyone to think through as you're listening to this short episode today is how am I really pushing the limits on what I am known for, and creating original work now.

I have a theory – a lot of people prefer to suffer than break up with a toxic habit.
I’m embarrassingly guilty of this…
A few weeks ago, I broke up with a very bad *old* habit that snuck up on me→ acting like a victim.
I’m embarrassed to admit it! It was affecting my business, my relationship with Jason, and my leadership.
Even though I knew I had to change or things were going to get a lot worse – I procrastinated and waited until the pain was too great NOT to change.
It’s amazing what happens when you decide and commit to necessary endings. It’s just a few weeks later and everything has turned around in my life.
If you’re someone who’s ready to release toxic behavior out of your life, listen to my podcast today where I walk you through a 5 step process to release and shake things up.
I hope it helps you make a major breakthrough this year!
