Have you ever wondered if your jewelry business could actually become the thing that lets you leave your 9–5?
In this episode, I'm sitting down with Elle Offord of Pretty Steep to talk about what it really looked like to go from making jewelry on the side to becoming a full-time jewelry business owner.
We're getting into the messy middle that often gets left out of success stories: the fear around money, the self-doubt, the pressure to choose the "safe" path, and the mindset shifts that helped Elle finally trust herself enough to go all in.
Elle also shares how her jewelry business evolved from selling lower-priced pieces to creating customizable rings around the $5,000 price point, why she stopped trying to build a business that required her to make hundreds of pieces, and how she's creating systems that give her more freedom.
If going full-time with your jewelry business feels like a distant dream, this conversation will show you what can happen when you start building toward it intentionally.

Do you ever wonder if you've waited too long—or if life is simply too complicated—to build the jewelry business you really want?
In this episode, I'm welcoming back longtime client Leanne Herauf-DeBruyne, founder of Isla Rae Jewelry, to share what's happened since she took a chance on her business five years ago. After starting at 42 and earning just $6,000 in her first year, Leanne grew her jewelry brand to over six figures while navigating health challenges, building a team, expanding into wholesale accounts across Canada, and finding a level of confidence she never expected.
We talk about pricing your jewelry properly, creating cohesive collections, building an engaged email community, becoming more visible as a jewelry designer, and continuing to grow even when life doesn't look perfect behind the scenes.
If you've been wondering whether you're too late, too overwhelmed, or simply not ready yet, Leanne's story might change your mind.

In this episode, I'm joined by JBA member Juliana of Juliana Grippa Designs to talk about what it really looks like to build a jewelry business while working a full-time corporate marketing career. We dive into the power of giving yourself permission to start, overcoming the fear of being visible, and why marketing your own jewelry feels so much harder than marketing someone else's brand.
