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.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

1. Why strong in-person sales don't automatically translate to online success
2. How niching down around a feeling (not a product) drives connection and conversions
3. Why hiding behind your jewelry is costing you sales
4. How busy moms can market effectively in 5–7 minute pockets of time
   
   

Topics Discussed:

• Live Hot Seat coaching for jewelry business owners
• Selling transformation instead of products
• Confidence-based branding and niche clarity
• Content pillars that actually convert
• Why consistency beats batching in early growth stages
• Structuring a jewelry business for sustainable $5K months

Are you secretly hoping 2026 will magically "fix" your jewelry business just because the calendar flipped? In this episode, I'm breaking down why a new year alone doesn't change your results but a new identity, paired with systems, strategy, and support, absolutely does. 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.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

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
3. The power of community and support in scaling your jewelry business without doing it all alone
4. Why feeling worthy of support is the real shift that unlocks higher revenue and a CEO-level version of you
   
   

Topics Discussed:

• New year energy vs. the identity shifts required for real business growth
• Building systems and strategy instead of relying on motivation and "winging it"

Are you rushing into your 2026 jewelry business goals… without stopping to honor who you became in 2025?

In this episode, I walk you through a gentle year-end reflection ritual to help you celebrate your growth, release what you've outgrown, and step into the next-level jewelry CEO you're meant to be. We look honestly at how you ran your business this year, where your systems and strategy truly supported you (or didn't), and the identities you're still carrying that are quietly keeping you small. I'll guide you through three powerful journal prompts to get clear on what actually worked, what you want more of, and what it's time to lovingly let go of – from underpricing and perfectionism to the "starving artist" story. If you're ready for 2026 to be the year your jewelry business feels more intentional, profitable, and supported, this episode will help you step into that version of yourself on purpose.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

1. Why reflecting on who you became in 2025 is the key to jewelry business growth in 2026
2. How to identify what actually worked in your jewelry business (beyond just revenue)
3. Which beliefs, identities, and habits you quietly outgrew this year
4. How to step into your 2026 jewelry CEO identity with structure, support, and strategy
   
   

Topics Discussed:

Are you growing your jewelry business… but feeling exhausted, resentful, or like your body just can't keep up anymore?

In this episode, I sit down with women's health and hormones expert Jenn Pike to talk honestly about burnout, people pleasing, pricing, and why scaling a jewelry business as a woman is a completely different game.

1. Why burnout looks different for female founders (and what your hormones are trying to tell you)
2. How people pleasing and weak boundaries show up as real physical symptoms
3. Simple daily rituals to protect your energy and stop treating your business like an emergency

• Spotting the difference between cyclical hormone issues and chronic exhaustion

Are you secretly building a jewelry business that takes more from you than it gives back to your life?

In this episode of the Jewelry Business Academy, I'm joined by jewelry artist and Slow Maid podcast host Christine Mighion for a real conversation about slow living, boundaries, and redefining success as a jewelry business owner. We talk about what it actually looks like to build a sustainable jewelry business over 20+ years, create one-of-a-kind pieces without outsourcing everything, and still have summers at the lake, flexible studio days, and time for rest.

Christine shares how she navigated burnout, hit six figures without hiring production help, and then chose to scale back in a way that honored her energy, her artistry, and her life season. We also dive into embracing imperfection, soft selling on Instagram, and giving yourself permission to make money from your art. If you've ever felt guilty for wanting a slower pace or more freedom, this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

1. How to build a jewelry business that supports your actual dream life, not just your revenue goals
2. Why niching down and staying true to your artistic vision can feel expansive—not restrictive
3. Practical ways to set boundaries around your time, seasons, and energy as a jewelry business owner
4. How to embrace imperfection, show your face more, and soft-sell your jewelry in a way that feels genuine
   
   

Topics Discussed:

• Christine's last two years: launching the Slow Maid podcast and building the Slow Maid Collective
• Niching down as a jewelry artist and staying true to your creative vision
• Embracing imperfection, messy action, and being more visible online
• Seasonal business boundaries, summer schedules, and designing a life-first business
• Redefining success beyond constant scaling and outsourcing
• Soft selling, permission to make money from your art, and inspiring the next generation
