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:

• Using the "quiet week" between Christmas and New Year's with intention
• Three powerful reflection questions for jewelry business owners
• Letting go of underpricing, perfectionism, and "starving artist" stories
• Identity, nervous system safety, and feeling worthy of growth

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. We dive into hormones, nervous system regulation, and how your body will literally "speak" when your boundaries are missing. Jenn shares how she rebuilt her business to feel calm, grounded, and wildly successful – without the constant hustle – and we explore practical ways you can protect your energy, raise your prices, and simplify your schedule so your business actually feels good to run.

If you've ever hit that wall of fatigue, resentment, or "I'm doing everything right, why do I still feel awful?" this one is for you.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

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
4. How to feel worthy of charging more for your jewelry and stand behind your prices with confidence
   
   

Topics Discussed:

• Burnout, hormones, and the nervous system for women in business
• Spotting the difference between cyclical hormone issues and chronic exhaustion
• People pleasing, resentment, and how the body "keeps the score"
• Morning and evening routines that ground you before and after work
• Building a calm, spacious business instead of living in constant reaction mode
• Pricing, self-worth, and raising your rates as a jewelry business owner

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
