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
