Woven Connections Podcast

In this short and sweet solosode, I chat about the importance of staying connected to our 'why' in order to stay focused and motivated. I share my major why for starting my business - freedom. This includes having flexibility in my schedule, the ability to grow financially without a cap, and the opportunity to travel the world.

I also emphasizes the need to avoid comparing ourselves to others and to spend time in nature for reflection. I chat about how our 'why' can evolve over time and how I'm currently shifting towards finding more balance and rest in my life.

I hope this episode inspires you to take a moment and reflect on your biggest 'why', in order to see if you're living in alignment with what's truly imporant to you.

In this episode, I chat with my pal and very first guest, Keeley Campbell, to discuss our experiences as vendors at markets. We talk about the challenges and joys of participating in markets, including the long hours, the need to be on and engaging with customers, and the unique interactions with fellow vendors. We also touch on the importance of finding a balance between being informative and not overwhelming customers, and the importance of embracing one's own cringiness and authenticity.

We also discuss the importance of embracing oneself, living authentically and the benefits of spending time in nature, particularly through activities like cold plunges. Keels shares her personal experience with cold plunging and how it helps her gain perspective and find joy in life. We emphasize the need to prioritize mental health and find activities that bring happiness and silliness. Keels also mentions upcoming events and shares her Instagram handles for those interested in learning more about her work and personal life.

Topics discussed:

- Participating in markets as a vendor can be both challenging and rewarding. - Finding a balance between being informative and not overwhelming customers is important. - Meaningful connections can be formed with customers at markets. - Training booth attendees is an art that requires finding the right balance. - Embracing one's own cringiness and authenticity is key to success at markets.

Join me as I take you back to the very beginning of starting my jewelry business. Many entreprenuers have some type of post-secondary schooling and spend a lot time putting together a solid business plan before attempting to launch their own business. Well... let's just say that my journey was completely the opposite.

I'll dive into what inspired me to start Woven Stone Co., my ups and downs along the way, what I think truly makes someone a successful entreprenuer, and how it has all unfolded after being in business for 10 years.

Join me for my first ever solosode! Let's get started as I dive into a little about me and why I wanted to start my own podcast. Moving to Vancouver Island in 2014 and embracing slow living started me on a journey of reflection and feeling more connected to myself. Moving to a place that supported my growth allowed me to get clearer on the things that really matter to me in life, ultimately leading me to starting my own jewelry business. I hope this episode brings a little inspiration and reflection to your day, and gets you excited for what's to come in this new venture of mine!
