In this episode, I sit down with Katia Rudnick, the founder of Katia Designs, whose jewelry brand has become a powerful source of inspiration, empowerment, and emotional connection for thousands of women.

What begins as a simple moment in a yoga class becomes a life-changing whisper from the universe—one that leads Katia to discover her purpose, unlock her creativity, and build a brand that helps women feel strong, centered, and connected to themselves.

Katia's story is a reminder that sometimes the things meant for us don't arrive as loud breakthroughs—they arrive as subtle nudges, intuitive sparks, and moments we choose to follow. Her journey from pop-up markets to a thriving, emotionally resonant jewelry business shows just how deeply people crave meaning, intention, and reminders of their own inner strength.

Key Highlights

* How a meditative moment in a yoga class sparked the creation of Katia Designs and awakened a new sense of purpose in Katia's life.

* The early pop-up market experiences that gave Katia the encouragement, validation, and "transfer of belief" she needed to keep creating.

* How her patented magnetic clasp design allows each necklace to be worn multiple ways—making her jewelry both meaningful and innovative.

* Why her pieces are more than accessories—they are emotional tools, reminders, and energetic vessels that help women navigate both everyday life and life's hardest moments.

* The astonishing loyalty of her customers, many of whom collect her pieces and treat them as part of their daily rituals of empowerment.

If you're someone who loves mission-driven brands, meaningful products, or founder stories rooted in personal transformation, you won't want to miss this conversation.

Join me, Ramon Vela, as we listen to how Katia Designs went from a whisper to a thriving brand—and how its message-driven pieces continue to inspire and strengthen women every day.
