Work with me 👉 https://www.jewelrybusinessacademy.ca/ Have you ever felt torn between the safe path and the creative life you know you're meant for? In this episode, I'm joined by Alicia Sundwall, founder of Kissmet Designs Jewelry, for a beautiful conversation about creativity, intuition, and building a jewelry business while still balancing work, motherhood, and real life. Alicia shares how jewelry became a healing outlet during a hard personal season, how she learned to trust her creative instincts, and what it's looked like to move through self-doubt, ADHD, nervous system healing, and the pressure to stay on a "traditional" path. We also talk about what happens when you finally stop second-guessing yourself, start honoring what lights you up, and allow your business to become a bridge back to who you really are. If you've ever wondered whether your creative path is truly possible for you, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
What You Will Learn in this Episode: How creativity can become a path back to yourself when you feel disconnected, burnt out, or stuck Why trusting your creative instincts is one of the most important skills to build as a jewelry business owner How ADHD, nervous system regulation, and sleep can impact the way you show up in your business Why surrounding yourself with like-minded people can completely shift what feels possible for your future

Work with me 👉 https://www.jewelrybusinessacademy.ca/ Are you working harder and harder in your jewelry business, but still wondering why the results aren't matching the effort you're putting in? In this episode, I'm handing the mic over to JBA member K-Tea Callahan for a hot seat conversation about some of the biggest questions jewelry business owners are navigating right now. We're talking AI-generated jewelry photos, why working harder doesn't necessarily grow your business, the emotional side of entrepreneurship, and the sneaky ways fear can disguise itself as "this strategy just isn't for me." I'm also sharing some of the biggest lessons I had to unlearn while building my own jewelry business, including why doing the right work matters more than doing more work, how mindset impacts your ability to implement a strategy, and why messy action will almost always take you further than consuming more information. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, overworked, or stuck in your jewelry business, this conversation will help you simplify, take action, and focus on what actually moves your business forward.
