Navigating later-life career pivots - with Corinne Whillock, Lulu and Boo
Description
In this inspiring episode, Vicki chats with Corinne Whillock, founder of Lulu and Boo Jewellery, about how she swapped a 20-year career as a midwife for life as an award-winning jewellery designer.
If you’ve ever dreamed of doing something completely different or wondered if it’s too late to start again, this conversation will leave you feeling motivated and reassured that it never is.
Corinne shares how a chance encounter with a friend led her to an evening jewellery class that changed everything – and how she’s built a business rooted in quality, sustainability and authenticity.
You’ll hear:
How Corinne created a brand centred on recycled gold and silver that’s designed to last a lifetime.
Why staying true to your values and “your lane” can help you stand out – even in a competitive market.
The power of being authentic online and letting people see the person behind your brand.
Practical tips on funding, choosing e-commerce platforms, and balancing sustainability with profit.
Corinne’s experience with celebrity endorsements (including Claudia Winkleman!) – and what really drives long-term growth.
Why it’s absolutely not too late to start something new – and how midlife creativity can become your superpower.
This is such an uplifting conversation about courage, craftsmanship and connection. Whether you’re a product creator, maker, or e-commerce business owner, you’ll walk away with ideas, encouragement and the reminder that your business can reflect your values and evolve alongside you.
