What happens when two stylish best friends join forces to build a jewelry and fashion brand that’s equally bold, beautiful, and sustainable? Carolina Cordon-Bouzan and Gayle Yelon, co-founders of Montserrat New York, are proving that self-made women can do it all, with lab-grown diamonds, jetset-inspired fashion, and a whole lot of entrepreneurial grit. In this episode, we talk about building a business from scratch, redefining success as a creative entrepreneur, and why community, mindset, and personal growth are essential parts of the journey. Whether you’re a fashion lover, business coach for women, or someone exploring lifestyle and culture through a personal development lens, you’ll walk away inspired by their clarity, style, and action.
