Jewelry Business Academy Podcast

Work with me 👉 https://www.jewelrybusinessacademy.ca/ What if the biggest thing holding your jewelry business back isn't your talent but your confidence to fully step into it? In this episode, I'm welcoming Emily Wan of July Studio Creations back to the podcast to talk about just how much can change when you stop treating your jewelry business like a side project and start believing in what's possible. When Emily first joined the Jewelry Business Academy, she was working full-time in corporate, building her business in pockets of spare time, and still figuring out her niche, messaging, and voice. Today, she's a full-time jewelry business owner with a clear brand purpose, a growing confidence in showing up online, and a completely different relationship with visibility. We talk about finding a niche that actually feels like you, building confidence through consistent action, navigating the fear of leaving stable employment, and why having the right strategy and community can make growing your jewelry business feel so much less lonely. __________________________   What You Will Learn in this Episode: Why finding a jewelry business niche that genuinely connects to your own story can make your marketing dramatically stronger. How confidence is built through action and why being shy or soft-spoken doesn't mean you can't become visible in your business. What helped Emily go from building her jewelry brand around a corporate job to becoming a full-time jewelry business owner. Why having a clear strategy, accountability, and a community of other jewelry entrepreneurs can make growth feel far less overwhelming. __________________________   Topics Discussed: Going from corporate employment to a full-time jewelry business Finding a meaningful and profitable jewelry brand niche Building confidence through visibility and storytelling Creating jewelry that sparks connection and conversation Overcoming fears around inconsistent income and entrepreneurship Community, accountability, and having a clear growth strategy   __________________________   Ready to grow + scale your jewelry business?

Work with me 👉 https://www.jewelrybusinessacademy.ca/ What if growing your jewelry business didn't have to mean sacrificing your family, your health, or the life you actually want to live? In this episode, I'm welcoming Alena Mack back to the podcast to share what has changed inside her jewelry business over the past year and a half. After years of building her business alongside motherhood and homeschooling, Alena made the decision to start treating her jewelry business like a real business and the results have been incredible. We talk about how she doubled her annual sales from $42K to $85K, quadrupled her online sales, started consistently paying herself, and even used money from her business to fund a dream trip to Greece. But this conversation goes far beyond revenue. Alena shares what it has looked like to become more visible, prioritize herself, delegate inside her business, and create growth that actually supports the life she wants.   __________________________   What You Will Learn in this Episode: How Alena grew from $42K to $85K in annual jewelry sales by focusing on the right areas of her business. Why consistently emailing and building relationships with customers helped her quadruple her online sales.

What if a failed jewelry launch isn't proof that your pieces won't sell but proof that your strategy needs to change? In this episode, I'm joined by Ling Isla, founder of Precious Dog Jewelry, whose story is such a powerful example of what can happen when you stop guessing and start building your jewelry business with a clear plan. Just a few months ago, Ling launched her business and heard… crickets. She questioned whether anyone actually wanted her jewelry and wondered if she had been completely delusional. Fast-forward two months, and she's selling out launches within hours, growing an incredibly aligned audience, and leaving a 15-year career in tech to pursue her jewelry business full-time. We talk about niching down, creating content with limited time, building conviction in your business, and why the right strategy and support can change your trajectory much faster than you think.    __________________________   What You Will Learn in this Episode: Why a disappointing jewelry launch doesn't automatically mean there's something wrong with your product How getting incredibly specific about your ideal customer can help you attract buyers who are ready for exactly what you sell Why strategy, action, and conviction all matter when you're trying to grow a successful jewelry business How Ling built momentum, created daily content, and sold out launches while still working a demanding corporate job __________________________   Topics Discussed: Going from a failed first launch to sold-out jewelry launches Niching down your jewelry brand and messaging Creating content with limited time Growing an aligned audience from under 200 followers Building confidence and conviction as a jewelry business owner Leaving a corporate career to pursue entrepreneurship full-time   __________________________   Ready to grow + scale your jewelry business?

Work with me 👉 https://www.jewelrybusinessacademy.ca/ 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. __________________________   What You Will Learn in this Episode: Why leaving your 9–5 usually starts with building trust in yourself long before you hand in your resignation How Elle evolved from selling $90 rings to creating customizable pieces around the $5,000 price point Why resilience and mindset can become more valuable to your jewelry business than any single sales milestone How to build a jewelry business that supports your life instead of creating another job you can never step away from   __________________________   Topics Discussed: Going from a jewelry side hustle to full-time business ownership Fear, self-doubt and the "safe" 9–5 path Building confidence and resilience as a jewelry business owner Raising prices and selling higher-ticket jewelry Creating a scalable customizable jewelry model Building systems, support and freedom into your business __________________________ Ready to grow + scale your jewelry business?

  Work with me 👉 https://www.jewelrybusinessacademy.ca/ 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.   __________________________   What You Will Learn in this Episode: Why starting your jewelry business later in life does not mean you've missed your opportunity to succeed. How Leanne grew from $6K in annual sales to a six-figure jewelry business by taking consistent action and learning the foundations.
