Bold Like Her Podcast

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Manali to talk about her background, coming to the US from India as the first in her family to do so and finding her passion.

After many years in the electronics & technology world and suffering not one but two incredilble losses, she found herself looking for more. She knew that the answer was within nature.

On this episode she shares her story, her search and finding it in jewelry.

At her company, Gratinsta, (instant gratitude) they believe in the beauty and power of nature. That's why they've dedicated theirselves to creating nature-inspired jewelry that celebrates the natural world and the unique beauty of each living creature. Each piece is crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail, using only the highest quality materials like sterling silver and gold.
