In this inspiring episode, you’ll hear about…
…How Sabrina’s addiction — and a toxic relationship — led her to metal smithing and eventually to jewelry design…

…How Sabrina got clear on her branding, content and launch strategy for a new phase in her business…

| Episode 474: It’s My Birthday! A Dramatic Reading of the First Chapter of My Book | 21 May 2024 | 00:34:27 | |
It’s my birthday! I know I’m incredibly blessed… and that the abundance I have today is the result of some hard lessons I learned a few birthdays ago.
Today, I want to share the most important gift I ever received — the lesson that took me from struggling artist to thriving business owner.
In this episode, I share the story of how my life and business transformed into the incredible reality I have today. If I could give every jewelry designer a gift, this lesson would be it.
So tune in to hear me read the first chapter of my book, The Desired Brand Effect, to hear about: …The moment in my first business when I realized I had NO money left over after delivering a $100,000 order (and what happened next)... …The book that blew my mind about the problems in my business and helped me see how to transform my maker mindset to become the leader of my business… …Why becoming the chief visionary officer (CVO) of your business can help you get great at turning your dreams into reality instead of continuing as a maker struggling to bring your vision to life… …And how I went from being a broke designer to having my work stocked in over 350 stores around the world (with celebrities like Halle Berry and Charlize Theron loving on my work).
If you’ve been struggling to make a sustainable living from your jewelry designs, if you’re burned out, scared of your numbers or just know it’s time to take your business to the next level, this one’s for you.
And if you can find the courage to act on what you hear, by the time your own birthday rolls around next year, maybe you’ll be telling an incredible transformation story of your own.
Listen to episode #474 of Thrive by Design to get your all-access pass to It’s My Birthday! A Dramatic Reading of the First Chapter of My Book.
The greatest birthday gift you could give me today is to go and listen to this episode.
My life’s purpose is to help creatives like you to start thriving in their art, and it truly lights me up to hear it when someone starts making a change after hearing this story.

| Episode 473: She's Supporting Her Husband Through School With Her Jewelry Business with Lindsey Kirk | 14 May 2024 | 00:34:30 | |
When Lindsey Kirk’s husband came home and told her how much he was struggling at his swing shift factory job, it was clear they were at a crossroads.
She knew that in spite of her feeling of panic, it was time to take her jewelry business to the next level.
After 5 years of running a studio space to sell her pieces in Quincy, Illinois — while working a part-time job to make it work — Lindsey decided it was time to close the store and double down on her website (lucky for her, because the pandemic hit just a few weeks later).
Lindsey had been a fan of Thrive by Design since the podcast launched back in 2015, and when she and her husband decided he would go back to school, she came looking for support in playing full-out to build her online sales.
. She enrolled in Laying the Foundation, and I am so excited to share her story with you today. Lindsey is a bad-ass implementer and has some amazing insights to share about how her business has grown to the point that she’s been able to support her husband while he’s back studying full-time.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
The crazy numbers that Lindsey started seeing in her business as soon as she started working through the LTF material…
The 3 key concepts from LTF that changed everything for Lindsey’s business (and the mindset shift that has helped her increase her business over 50% in the past year)...
The amazing social media campaign that helped Lindsey hit a key goal in her business and how sharing her love of dogs has bonded her community to her even more…
We also talk about why the structure of Laying the Foundation was so effective for her, changing the narrative of your inner voice, and how her business turned out to be the lifeboat she and her husband needed (instead of taking a backseat to his work).

| Episode #489: From Hitting Rock Bottom to Her BEST Year Yet with Laura Stamper | 27 Aug 2024 | 00:37:46 | |
What would you do if you lost everything? That happened to today’s guest Laura Stamper. In just 3 months - she lost everything. Her husband, her house, and her art studio. But Laura didn’t let that stop her. She invested in herself and her business - and her business grew 7x❗when compared with the same quarter as last year. And she credits the coaches at F&TA for giving her two big pieces of advice that made it possible.

| Episode 472: 5 Ways to Get Consistent and Stand Out With Social Media Marketing – This Week | 09 May 2024 | 00:25:20 | |
We’ve got to talk about the state of social media content for jewelry businesses…
Because a lot of jewelry designers are just totally missing the mark here.
It’s boring, pushy, cringe, or some combination of all three.
And I hate having to say that, because it’s not their fault.
Jewelry designers are not trained to be professional marketers! But it’s our job to figure out how to create social media content for our jewelry businesses — just as much as it is to create the jewelry itself.
Great content creates your desired brand effect — it attracts ideal, high-quality clients to your business, it makes you stand out in a crowded marketplace, and it helps you sell.
It’s probably the most powerful tool at your disposal if you’re serious about growing your business online.
That’s why I’m hosting a new master class, called How to Stand Out on Social: How to Plan A Month’s Content in An Hour. It’s a super hands-on system to help you build a content plan for your jewelry business (more about that in the PS of this email).
First though, on this week’s Thrive by Design episode: I’m sharing 5 do-it-now practical tips for creating content that is going to make your audience fall in love with you and your jewelry:
This topic is so important to the success of every jewelry business, so this episode is extremely practical. I’m giving you real examples of the content to create, when to create it, and how to cut through all the noise on social, so that you can start to take control of your brand online.
You deserve to have a jewelry business that’s thriving online. If you’re still figuring out how to make that happen, listen to episode #472 of Thrive by Design to get your all-access pass to 5 Ways to Get Consistent and Stand Out With Social Media Marketing – This Week.
xo, Tracy
PS: I’m hosting a new master class, called How to Stand Out on Social: How to Plan A Month’s Content in An Hour.
It’s an even deeper look at what we cover in today’s episode — I’m going to walk you through a simple step by step process (with visuals!) on how to make money-making social media content that stands out, attracts high-paying customers in a fraction of the time most people spend on it.
If you know that the content and social media strategy for your jewelry business needs some TLC, this one’s for you. Click here to register for the master class: flourishthriveacademy.com/contentworkshop

| Episode 471: How Your Health Impacts Your Success with Tina Anderson | 07 May 2024 | 00:33:02 | |
When you’re healthy as an entrepreneur and business owner, it shows.
Your energy is on point. You’re focused and in flow. You’re happier, more productive, and more creative. But when our health takes a hit, our business suffers too. When you’re feeling sick or sore, your motivation and clarity take a dive too.
That’s why keeping yourself healthy and vibrant is a huge win when you are designing your jewelry and building your business.
Today, my dear friend Tina Anderson is on the Thrive by Design podcast, sharing her incredible expertise on the gut-brain connection.
Tina is the CEO of Just Thrive, an incredible supplement company that has changed my life.
(I’ll spare you the TMI version, but let’s just say my digestive system is MUCH happier since I started taking their probiotic a few years ago.)
Gut health is not the topic that usually springs to mind when people think about growing their business or optimizing their daily routine… but it has a huge influence behind the scenes on how you feel and perform every day. That’s why, in this episode, we talk about…
If you’re struggling with brain fog, digestive troubles, fatigue, skin issues, this episode could be a game-changer for you.
Don’t miss this fascinating deep-dive conversation.

PS: Tina has generously offered all Thrive by Design listeners 20% off a 90-day bottle of Just Thrive Probiotic and Just Calm. Check out www.flourishthriveacademy.com/justthrive and use the code TBD (as in, Thrive by Design) at checkout.

| Episode 470B: How to Know When You’re Done — And What to Do Next | 25 Apr 2024 | 00:18:43 | |
What are you done with?
To answer this profound question, this week we’ve got a special double-barrel episode release on the Thrive by Design podcast — How to Double Your Sales in Half the Time, and How to Know When You’re Done — And What to Do Next.
Both episodes are intended to shake you up out of the parts of your life where you’re stuck and know it’s time for a change.
Asking what I was done with in my own ‘rock bottom’ moment back in 2008 started me on the journey to the life and business I have today.
I was 40, and in total shock after the recession crashed my business overnight, taking my confidence with it. The guy I’d been dating for 3 years ghosted me. I went on vacation with two girlfriends to Nicaragua and couldn’t afford to do everything they wanted to do, and then on top of it all I got stung by a stingray at the beach one day.
Ugh.
I’d had enough. I was so done being broke, being taken for granted, being afraid.
On that trip I realized that I had no choice but to start doing things differently.
I invested in coaching so I could get super clear about what I wanted from my business.
I quit dating people who didn’t truly care about me so I could make space for someone who did.
I stopped taking custom orders from people who were not going to pay me and focused everything on building an online platform for the people who would.
And in a few months, everything was different.
If you are so ready for everything to be different, I have an invitation for you.
Next week we are launching our last live season of Train Your Customers to Buy from You Online. We are closing enrollment on Monday 29th April, and classes begin Tuesday 30th.
If you’ve been on the fence about applying to TYC, this is your sign.
If you’re done missing time with your family, scrambling to make ends meet, and bending over backwards to make your business work, it’s time to make a change.
Be done with all that.
Listen to episode #470 and #470B of Thrive by Design to get your all-access pass to How to Double Your Sales in Half the Time and How to Tell When You’re Done.
Then come back here and click here to apply to TYC: https://www.flourishthriveacademy.com/tyc/

| Episode 470: How to Double Your Online Sales in Half the Time | 23 Apr 2024 | 00:27:15 | |
Today’s show is all about doubling your online sales, with a few simple strategies that always work. But before we get to that, a quick message: If you’re serious about increasing your sales in a short period of time, I’m here to help you do that. Our Train Your Customers to Buy from You Online program (TYC) is going live on April 30th. TYC is a 12-week sales accelerator. It helps you leverage all of your sales channels and build your revenue by pulling on different aspects of how you sell. If you feel burned out and exhausted from spending every weekend doing shows instead of being with your family, you’re in the right place. Earlybird applications have already closed, but there’s still time to join if you are truly ready to take your business to the next level — click here to find out more. Now, back to the episode: Can jewelry designers really double their biz online in just a few months? Yes, and I’m not talking about church change. I’m talking about real growth.
One student, who will remin nameless, said this after she learned these strategies in one of our programs:
“I could kick myself because I wasn’t collecting email addresses or following up with people after shows, and now I’m going to do $8500 this month from just those basic strategies you taught me.”
If you’re focused on being of service, you can get amazing results with the sales strategies we cover today:
I also cover why this strategy works with retail customers and your wholesale accounts, as well as the email sequences that will get people to take more action after placing an order with you, finishing abandoned orders and coming back to buy after a long time away.
This episode is packed with practical, hands-on strategies that can start growing your business today. It’s only 27 minutes, too, so you can listen to it on your lunch break and be underway with at least one of these ideas by dinner.

| Encore Episode #422: She's On Track to Triple Her Sales This Year... Here's How She Did It! | 16 Apr 2024 | 00:33:27 | |
Is your jewelry business really just an expensive hobby right now? If you have to make jewelry, but you also have to make it a viable business, today’s episode of the Thrive by Design podcast is for you. Erin Kandoll quit her jewelry business just as the pandemic was starting, because she didn’t think it would ever be able to support her family. She sold all her equipment, got rid of her old inventory… and then stumbled upon Thrive by Design. She listened to a bunch of episodes and enrolled in our Laying the Foundation program. She started seeing results so fast that she progressed into the Train Your Customers to Buy from You Online program (which, by the way, is reopening on April 30th), and 18 months later, her business was on track to do triple the revenue she’d had the year before. In this incredible episode, Erin shares:
We also talk about the fun intro challenge we give TYC students to make back the cost of the program in the first week, the trait Tracy believes is the true key to success in running a jewelry business (hint: it’s not talent!), and how Erin’s self-worth has evolved as a result of growing her business.

| Episode 469: How Shifting Focus Increased Her Cash Flow and Growth with Antoinette Elizabeth | 09 Apr 2024 | 00:31:47 | |
There are times in your jewelry business where you might have to take a hard pivot to get what you really want.
That’s where Antoinette Elizabeth found herself last year, and today on Episode #469 of the Thrive by Design podcast, she shares how she navigated that incredibly tough crossroads in her business.
When a huge storm cut off tourism to Antoinette’s location, she knew she had to make a change if her business was going to survive. In this unique episode, Antoinette shares:
And there’s more (you know I love to go deep with my podcast guests) — how Antoinette decided that TYC was right for her (and not “just another coaching program”), and the inner shift that made her decide to turn down her dream retail location after moving online.
We also talk about building her confidence with pricing and negotiating with wholesale customers, and how Antoinette is now showing up in her business every day more authentically, more creatively and with more calm.
With the incredible results Antoinette got from TYC, we knew we had to have more of her in our world.
That’s why she’s going to be one of the student mentors on the program when it kicks off again on April 23rd. Yep — she’s going to be there to support our students who are making the shift towards selling online, getting out of the grind of live events, and figuring out how to thrive by design in their own business.
If you know already that TYC would change everything for you, like it did for Antoinette, earlybird applications are open now, with a discount available AND a bonus 1-on-1 coaching call with one of our other coaches if you apply and pay in full before the early bird deadline (April 15th). Click here to check it out — this is an awesome opportunity to save yourself a bunch of money while training your customers to buy from you online over and over and over again.
And if you want a taste of what to expect from the program, our free Supercharge Your Sales Challenge kicks off on April 15th. We’ll be challenging you to get into action and start making money in real time. If that sounds like the kind of push you need right now, you can sign up at www.flourishthriveacademy.com/supercharge.
Don’t miss this beautiful episode. It’s full of joy and I’m so psyched to share Antoinette’s journey with you.

| Episode #446: Publicity and Your Jewelry Brand with Renee Warren | 30 Nov 2023 | 00:50:12 | |
Are you ready to think outside of the box and discover different ways to get in front of your target audience with public relations? I chat with my very special guest Renee Warren who talks about about publicity in your business and some alternative ways that you might not be thinking about to grow your business. Here’s the thing - the way that we get exposure for our jewelry brands has changed and the old-school way of pitching print magazines is not really a thing anymore. PR these days is a lot more about your experiences and how you're getting in front of the right audience with the people that you’re either talking to or connecting with who are promoting your brand. That’s why Renee dives into how you can do this and some of her favorite ways for jewelry business owners to get into the press! Renee is awesome not only because of her life-changing expertise but also because she is a busy mom who is doing a lot of things in the world and making an impact, so the wisdom she shares is incredibly important for any busy woman who wants to get her business in front of more people. She’s here to help you build confidence and authority and gain the industry recognition and media exposure that you deserve! You’re going to love this episode!

| Episode #444: Embracing Your Challenges With Gratitude as a Path to Growth | 21 Nov 2023 | 00:30:02 | |
Today is all about one of the core pillars of manifesting what you want in your life and business - being, acting, and emoting the energy and vibe of what you’re trying to attract. Because honestly, manifestation and positivity aside, sometimes life just goes sideways and you get served (as Jason calls it) a c-r-a-p ball. Do you know what I’m talking about? The thing is, we’re human, and sometimes bad things happen to good people who are doing everything right. As a business owner, you’re going to face challenges every single week in your business, and there will be times when you come up with negative self-talk because of the hardships you’re facing (we all struggle with it). In the latest episode of the Thrive by Design Podcast, that’s exactly why I talk about how to put a spin on gratitude and be grateful for everything that’s happening to you - even when it’s not so fun at the time. Because, even though it definitely doesn’t feel like it, your obstacles are taking you to the next level in your business and growth. So how do you transform that crappy energy into a positive vibe or feeling of gratitude? I’m excited to share some tangible advice on how to embrace challenges as a path to growth!

| Episode #443: 5 Must-Read Money Mindset Books | 09 Nov 2023 | 00:26:37 | |
In today’s episode, we’re switching things up! We dive into an incredibly important topic - how every business owner needs to uplevel their mindset when it comes to money, once they hit their next level of growth. The thing is, we all have a glass ceiling that we eventually hit. When we hit an upper limit, we sometimes do things to self-sabotage or something explodes in our life and our business. That’s why mindset work is vital. Every one of us will face times when we need to break through our glass ceilings to get to the next level. This is so close to my heart because this topic has been coming up a lot lately in our community. So many are struggling with their mindset around money, and it’s literally keeping them from growing. As I thought about this, I started looking at the goldmine of books in my Audible library on money mindset. So today is all about inviting you to binge-read them with me right now! I promise they’ll help you grow in ways you never thought possible and change the whole way you approach making and thinking about money. I can’t wait for you to join me as I dive into the top 5 amazing money mindset books that have changed my life! Join me on Thrive by Design for podcast episode 443!
