Building resilience with Fabienne Costa from YCL Jewels | Part Two

This episode is dedicated to my friend, Jayne Pappin.

Welcome back to Part Two of my inspiring conversation with Fabienne Costa, the founder and CEO of YCL Jewels.   The response to Part One of our conversation has been completely overwhelming in the most positive sense of the word. It's so inspiring to see many of you resonate with Fabienne’s honest journey and revelations about the truths of running her own business. I also want to say a huge thanks to all of you who reach out on social media to let me know about your own struggles and how this episode has helped you. This is the very reason why I started this podcast, and it warms my heart knowing it's doing social good. Now if you haven’t already listened to Part One, go back and do so now.  And as a little reminder for those tuning in for Part Two, six years ago, Fabienne left the comforts of her job as a nurse to pursue her dream of jewellery designing, and along the way, she has ridden many deep lows and beautiful highs, is unashamed to admit she was actively failing in the first two of years of her business. Yet, Fabienne has learned to steady her emotions and because of this, she has come out on top.  On today’s episode, Part Two, we chat about the beautiful highs and beautiful lows of running a business, learning to build emotional steadiness over time, mental health in business, changing the way we communicate with ourselves, tips for building resilience, changing the language we use, dealing the mental load, surrounding yourself with the right people, storytelling for success on social media, a good website and photography is the most important asset of a business, knowing the right time to advertise on Instagram, learning how not to get swept up in the social media numbers, working with influencers the right way, books we’ve recently read, and lots more.

- -  Now just quickly, before we dive into this week's episode I wanted to let you know there won't be an episode coming out next Tuesday. I am taking a little holiday and the YCS Podcast will be back with a new episode on Tuesday 18th June.
