Sophie Flack Take a walk me down Fascination Street Podcast, as I get to know Sophie Flack. I was first introduced to Sophie as a result of a conversation with previous guest Yul Vazquez. Sophie is a former member of The Corp De Ballet with The New York City Ballet. After she retired from that, she got a degree from Columbia University, and then wrote a best-selling Young Adult novel called Bunheads, which explores the intricacies and heartaches of the life of a professional ballerina. Sophie has written for multiple magazines and publications about her experiences and has helped shine a light on some of the ways that these dancers are treated. Fairly recently, Sophie started a jewelry company which focuses on pieces that help de-stigmatize mental health and eating disorders. Her company is called MAD FINE, and some of the pieces include 'in the know' references to: Zanex, Klonopin, Prozac, and the abortion pill. She has pieces that align with emotional baggage, and even silly trophies. All of these pieces are designed to bring these issues to light and for the wearer to engage in conversations with like-minded individuals. These pieces are stunning, and unique. My personal favorite is the mixed metals cassette tape! Sophie is very vulnerable in this conversation. She openly discusses her previous battles with anorexia, self-doubt, and thoughts of suicide. Check out her jewelry, read her book, heck, just reach out and tell her you enjoyed her candor.

You'll learn how to shift your mindset, lead the conversation confidently, and build real connections that convert without feeling salesy. Let's reframe those compliments into customers, shall we?   What You Will Learn in this Episode: Why “I love your work” is actually a sales opportunity, not a rejection How to confidently respond and guide the conversation with ease The mindset shift that will protect your confidence and boost your conversions Real examples of how one message turned into a $3K custom jewelry order   Topics Discussed: Turning compliments into conversations DM strategies that feel natural, not pushy Confidence-building mindset for jewelry designers Leading like a CEO (not a hobbyist) Creating intentional connection with your audience How to follow up without being awkward __________________________   Feeling stuck in the corporate grind?

Are you sitting on the dream of starting your jewelry business but waiting until things feel “perfect”? This episode is your sign to just start. I sat down with Alanna Boss, the inspiring founder of Boss Eclectic, who launched her jewelry business less than a year ago and has already landed in retail stores, hosted events, and built a growing brand.

If you're stuck in overthinking mode, this episode will give you the clarity, courage, and conviction to take your first (or next) big step.     What You Will Learn in this Episode: Why taking fast, imperfect action beats waiting for the “right time” How to build your business while juggling a full-time job The mindset shifts that helped Alanna get into retail stores within months How community and mentorship can fast-track your growth   Topics Discussed: Alanna's decision to start Boss Eclectic Overcoming fear of visibility and selling Juggling entrepreneurship and a full-time legal career Joining the Jewelry Business Academy Building confidence through community The biggest lessons from her first 8 months in business   __________________________   Feeling stuck in the corporate grind?

Are you staying stuck in your jewelry business because of fear—even if you don't realize it? In this episode, I'm diving into something I see all the time: business owners telling themselves they're stuck because of time, money, or strategy… when really, it's fear. Whether it's fear of failure, fear of success, or fear of shifting your identity, I've been there—and I'm walking you through how to move past it. Because staying stuck is way scarier than change. Let's rewire how we think about fear, take that first small step, and build the jewelry business we actually want. If you're ready to raise your prices, go full time, or finally hire support—you don't need the perfect plan. You just need courage and action.     What You Will Learn in this Episode: Why fear—not strategy—is often what keeps you stuck How to recognize when your brain is trying to keep you small The 4 sneaky fears that block growth (and how to move through them) Why avoiding change actually costs you more in the long run   Topics Discussed: Fear of change in business Fear of failure vs. fear of success Identity shifts as you grow Taking small, courageous steps The real cost of staying stuck How to move forward with confidence   __________________________   Feeling stuck in the corporate grind?

In 2016, Associate Curator Herschel Hepler came across an image online of a small prayer book that would change what we know about the history of Jewish books and Jewish heritage in Afghanistan.

The Stories: “On my first day as a CFDA member, I stood up in front of then-president Diane von Furstenberg and Steven Kolb and I asked what our industry's plans for sustainability was. I remember the Olsen twins sitting in front of me and turning around, staring at me. Everyone was staring at me. ‘Who is this girl?' Diane and Steven looked at each other and said, ‘We have none.'"The Backstory: Grew up with two creative grandmothers and aunts; one grandmother who was an award-winning quilter and who had hand-selected the rocks that her grandfather built their house with. Her mother is an ‘overachiever,' former lawyer who creates watercolor art and who spent hours with Melissa as a child making food for her Barbie refrigerator. “My dad, although he isn't crafty, is very intellectually creative.”Wisdom Rains: “I tend to look at the shifts and the circularity of my business – marked by what some people might call ‘trauma' – as opportunities to rebuild better. Even though they're really challenging to go through at the time, you really learn what's important, and what you want.”On Inspo: “The way that we make jewelry is so influenced by traditional Mexican silversmithing techniques. I don't do a lot of casting. We hand-make, hand-form, hand-hammer using a lot of the same tools that are used in Mexico. I really appreciate their craft and attention to detail.” Names her mother as ‘super-inspirational' for how she's reinvented herself to achieve many different things over the years.On Community + On Her Store: “People really enjoy getting together and talking about things, trying stuff on and having fun. I've only been in business for as long as I have, because of my community. I've built really strong relationships that have carried me through really challenging times, so I feel like nourishing those, intentionally. My wholesale partners have become a strong focus, so has creating the same type of partnership and energy within my store.”What Else: “There is a lot of technical detail within what we do that doesn't scream, ‘look at me.' It's an understated elegance that allows each person to put their personal stamp on my jewelry when they wear it.”Obsixed: A collection of Melissa's current lifestyle obsessions and brands.Discover more + Shop The Podcast:melissajoymanning.com
