Are you doing everything "right" in your jewelry business but still feeling stuck online?

In this LIVE call-in coaching session, I sit down with Taryn Hume, the founder of Everbee Clay Co., to uncover what's really holding her business back. Taryn is a mom, a teacher, and a talented jewelry maker whose in-person markets are thriving, yet online sales feel heavy, inconsistent, and overwhelming.

Together, we dig into why motivation isn't the issue, why perfectionism keeps so many jewelry business owners invisible, and how structure (not more hustle) is the missing piece. This episode is a powerful reminder that growing online sales doesn't mean working harder or doing more, it means simplifying, clarifying your message, and letting yourself be the face of your brand.

If you've ever felt burnt out, stuck in overthinking, or frustrated that your online presence doesn't reflect the quality of your work, this episode will help you breathe easier and see your next steps clearly.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

1. Why motivation and inspiration aren't the real problem for most jewelry business owners
2. How hiding behind your brand can limit online growth and connection
3. The importance of niching down in a saturated jewelry market
4. How structure and systems create consistency without burnout
   
   

Topics Discussed:

• Call-in coaching for jewelry business owners
• Online sales vs in-person markets
• Perfectionism and overthinking on social media
• Niching and brand differentiation
• Being the face of your jewelry business
• Structure, systems, and sustainable growth

In this episode of the Jewelry Business Academy podcast, I'm sitting down with Cheryl D'Arezzo, founder of Cheryl Ann Jewelry, who's 67 and building a beautiful, thriving brand after decades of making jewelry quietly in the background.

We talk about the limiting beliefs that keep so many jewelry business owners playing small, why purpose keeps you feeling young, and how community can completely change what feels possible. Cheryl shares what it was like learning the tech side of business (website, email, Instagram), what clicked for her at the JBA retreat, and how she finally embraced her audience and message without hiding her age.

If you've been waiting for the "right time," this conversation will remind you: your next chapter can be your boldest one yet.

1. How "I'm too old" becomes a business ceiling and how to reframe it fast
2. Why purpose and community are the two biggest accelerators for confidence and growth
3. How to stop "making jewelry" and start building a real business with systems
4. What it looks like to take messy action when tech and visibility feel intimidating
   
   

Topics Discussed:

• Starting (or restarting) a jewelry business later in life
• Identity, confidence, and taking up space online
• Building community and surrounding yourself with entrepreneurs

Have you ever had something go so wrong in your jewelry business that you wondered if it was a sign to quit? In today's episode of the Jewelry Business Academy Podcast, I'm sitting down with Amanda Esposito from Northern Tide Studio to talk about what happened when her studio flooded right at the start of her busiest season.

Instead of disappearing, shutting down, or scrambling to copy what other brands were doing, Amanda made a bold pivot. She shared the messy behind-the-scenes in real time, leaned into her artistry, and started creating hand-painted oyster shell necklaces from what she had available. What happened next was wild: customers started asking to buy them, launches sold out fast, stores joined waitlists, and her audience grew because they felt connected to her.

This episode is a powerful reminder that your hardest season can become your biggest momentum moment…when you keep moving, stay true to your brand, and let your customers see the real story.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

1. How to pivot fast when life disrupts your jewelry production (without burning your brand down)
2. Why "messy action" creates momentum when perfection keeps you stuck
3. How authentic storytelling builds deeper customer connection and drives sales
4. What your customers actually want to see from you online (and why "polished" isn't the goal)
   
   

Topics Discussed:

• The emotional impact of a studio flood and losing a workspace
• Pivoting during peak season when inventory and fulfillment are at risk
• Documenting the behind-the-scenes to build trust and engagement
• Creating a surprise bestselling product from limited materials
• Simplifying packaging and focusing on what truly matters
• Sustainable growth, community support, and staying grounded

Ever feel like you're either wildly productive or completely shut down with no in-between?

In this Hot Seat episode,I'm joined by Jill from Lilikoi Project, who flips the script and puts me in the hot seat for a deeply honest conversation about ADHD, rejection sensitivity, visibility, and what it really takes to build a sustainable jewelry business as a sensitive, creative soul.

We talk about why ADHD is so often mislabeled as laziness, how rejection sensitivity can quietly sabotage your confidence, and why trying to "push through" usually backfires. I share how I've learned to work with my natural energy cycles instead of fighting them and how doing so has completely changed the way I lead, coach, and live.

This episode is for jewelry business owners who feel deeply, overthink easily, and want to grow without burning themselves out in the process.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

1. Why ADHD is a rhythm, not a flaw and how to plan your business around it
2. How rejection sensitivity shows up in customer emails, visibility, and people pleasing
3. Why overworking and batching content often makes ADHD burnout worse
4. How to feel safe being seen without shutting down or spiraling
   
   

Topics Discussed:

• ADHD and entrepreneurship
• Rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD)
• Nervous system regulation in business
• Visibility fears for jewelry business owners
• People pleasing and emotional boundaries
• Building a life-first jewelry business

Are you pushing through brain fog, low energy, mood shifts, or unexplained weight gain and telling yourself it's "just life"… even though your body is clearly asking for help?

In this episode, I sit down with naturopathic doctor Dr. Jennifer Bunzenmeyer to talk about perimenopause, menopause, and how women can reclaim their energy without relying on willpower or caffeine. We unpack why symptoms often show up slowly, why "normal" lab work isn't always optimal, and the foundational habits that make the biggest difference, like blood sugar balancing, protein, movement, sleep support, and gut health. Dr. Jen also shares how hormones shift over a 4–10 year perimenopause window, why stress and cortisol matter, and why strength training and bone health become non-negotiable as we age.

This conversation is your reminder: you're not broken… you're evolving, and you deserve support.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

1. How to spot the "quiet" signs of perimenopause before you hit burnout in business
2. Why blood sugar balance, protein, and gut health can dramatically shift energy and brain fog
3. How to think about "normal" labs vs. optimal trends (thyroid, A1C, cortisol patterns)
4. A more sustainable approach to health habits (systems over willpower, quarter-by-quarter changes)
   
   

Topics Discussed:

• Perimenopause + menopause symptoms (sleep, mood, brain fog, energy)
• The "four pillars" approach (basics, gut, hormones, aging well)
• Protein, meal prep, movement, and joy as real energy tools
• Stress, cortisol, adrenals, and nervous system support
• Weight gain, insulin resistance, thyroid, estrogen/progesterone shifts
• Community and connection as a health essential

Have you ever wondered why your jewelry sells out in person… but barely moves online?

In this extra-special live call-in coaching episode, I sit down with Rhylee Stone of Stone Clay & Co. for a real, unscripted Hot Seat coaching session and I walk her through exactly what's holding her back from consistent online sales.

Rhylee is a stay-at-home mom selling hundreds of earrings at markets, yet struggling to convert online and that disconnect is more common than you think. Together, we break down why selling a product isn't enough, how niching down actually creates freedom (not limitation), and why YOU, not your jewelry, are the true differentiator in your business.

This episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what real coaching sounds like, how offers are refined in real time, and how small shifts in messaging, content, and structure can unlock consistent $5K months… even in a busy season of motherhood.

If you've been craving clarity, confidence, and a clear next step, this live coaching session is for you.

I walk you through how to stop winging it, get out of fight-or-flight in your business, and build a jewelry brand that feels intentional, profitable, and sustainable.

I'll share why motivation is the least reliable growth plan, how to design systems that protect your energy and drive sales, and why trying to do everything alone is quietly slowing you down.

1. Why a new year won't change your jewelry business unless your identity and habits do
2. How systems and strategy turn chaos, burnout, and guessing into clarity, consistency, and momentum
