How do you keep your business afloat and your heart steady when the world feels like it's on fire—literally? In this episode, I sat down with Kristina Sefeldt, founder of Saint VagaBond Jewelry, who shared her heart-wrenching experience of being evacuated during the LA wildfires. We talked about the emotional weight she carried as a small business owner and how she leaned on her community during such a difficult time.

We also explored the deeper meaning behind creative work, like her beautiful jewelry designs, and how to navigate social media and business with authenticity when the world feels heavy. Kristina's perspective on grounding practices, gratitude, and showing up even when life is messy is something I know will resonate with so many of you.

This episode is such a sweet reminder that resilience doesn't mean having it all together—it's about showing up, leaning on others, and finding strength in the connections we build. I can't wait for you to listen and feel inspired to take those small, meaningful steps forward in your own journey.
