Welcome to the Success With Jewelry podcast, hosted by Laryssa Wirstiuk and Liz Kantner, two experts passionate about helping independent jewelry artists thrive.

Welcome to Success With Jewelry Episode #137! This isn’t a typical episode—it’s more of a quick update as we prepare for a short summer break from the free podcast. We’re hitting pause until August 11th so we can come back refreshed, re-energized, and better than ever with more strategic and supportive content for our listeners. But don’t worry—we’re not going anywhere, and our Insider members will still get weekly content!

🌞 In this short update, we’re sharing:

• Why we’re taking a break from free episodes this summer

• What we’re working on behind the scenes (spoiler: a brand refresh!)

• How we’re evolving the podcast to better serve our community

• A special NYC meetup happening August 3rd (come hang out!)

For Insiders ONLY, we also get real about:

• The challenges of disconnecting from work (especially in marketing!)

• The emotional toll of digital marketing mistakes (yes, we’ve been there!)

• Why relationship-building still matters more than anything else

• Actionable tips for direct outreach and in-person selling—even if you're just starting out

🎧 If you’re not yet an Insider, now’s the perfect time to join—through August 11, you can get access for only $5/month! Weekly bonus episodes, unfiltered conversations, and deeper dives await you: https://patreon.com/SuccesswithJewelry
