Have you ever felt like you've lost yourself in your business—or like the fear of being visible is what's really holding you back? In this episode, I'm joined by Krista Lee, founder of DBL Designs, whose vibrant six-figure jewelry brand was born from her darkest season—postpartum depression. She shares how journaling daily affirmations in colorful markers helped her reconnect with her power, and how those simple, healing words became the foundation of a business rooted in authenticity and impact. We dive into building conviction, embracing messy action, and why the word “good” might actually be keeping you stuck. This episode is a must-listen if you're struggling to believe in yourself, holding back your light, or playing small out of fear. Krista's story will show you what's possible when you choose to believe—even just a little—and take one small step at a time.   What You Will Learn in this Episode: How to transform your lowest seasons into your most aligned brand vision Why messy action matters more than perfect plans The mindset shift that turns self-doubt into conviction How to build a brand that's high-vibe without carrying the weight of your whole story   Topics Discussed: Krista's healing journey through postpartum depression Building a jewelry business rooted in affirmation and color The fear of being visible in a saturated market Letting go of perfection and embracing messy action Cultivating self-worth and confidence as a designer Turning personal pain into a purposeful brand __________________________   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. After years of research, this small book turned out to be the oldest Hebrew prayer book known today, dating back to AD 700, which once traveled the Silk Roads and was preserved in the Bamiyan Valley in Afghanistan.  In this episode, Osnat Gad, a Jewish jewelry designer who can trace her family heritage back to Afghanistan, and Hepler share how significant this find is and how it changed everything we knew about that region.  Guest Bio:Osnat Gad, Jewelry Designer and Owner of OGI Ltd Herschel Hepler, Associate Curator of Hebrew manuscripts at Museum of the Bible  https://www.jtsa.edu https://www.jtsa.edu/news/the-worlds-oldest-jewish-book-on-display-at-the-jewish-theological-seminary/ “No Good Men Among the Living: America, the Taliban, and the War through Afghan Eyes” By Anand Gopal https://www.museumoftheBible.org/exhibits/alq   Stay up to date with Museum of the Bible on social media:  Instagram: @museumofBible  X: @museumofBible  Facebook: museumofBible  Linkedin: museumofBible  YouTube: @museumoftheBible

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

Episode #132 with Jewelry Designer Christina Greene McAllen This week on Living the Authentic Life, we sit down with Christina Greene McAllen, the powerhouse behind Christina Greene Jewelry—the brand known for its stunning turquoise and gold designs that blend Western charm with timeless elegance. Christina shares how her jewelry journey began in thrift stores and craft projects as a young girl, eventually leading her to Parsons School of Design in NYC and back home to Houston, where she turned her passion into a thriving business. From the long hours hustling at markets and trade shows, she takes us through the grit, glamour, and behind-the-scenes magic of bringing her designs to life. We also chat about:


Kaari Meng's design journey began in 1992 when, in search of a simple hat pin, she created a collection of vintage-inspired jewelry using antique glass beads and buttons. She presented her designs at Bergdorf Goodman's open-buy day, and the buyer purchased them all, launching her career. Soon, she was designing for Anthropologie and other retailers, crafting jewelry that blended nostalgia with timeless elegance.In 1997, after years of designing for shops, museums, and catalogs, Kaari founded French General, a New York City boutique specializing in vintage notions, textiles, and ephemera. When she relocated to Los Angeles in 2003, French General evolved into a creative hub, offering workshops in jewelry-making, stitching, quilting, and more. Today, it's a destination for craft enthusiasts, with online classes and its signature Stitching From France series.Alongside her husband, Jon, Kaari has authored six books celebrating craft and design. She also creates quilting fabrics for Moda and home textiles for Fabricut. For the past 16 years, she has hosted immersive retreats in the South of France, inviting guests to experience brocantes, crafting, and the beauty of slow living.

Call me crazy but a piece of jewelry is really that deep. Shana Cave conveys her profound understanding of the chaotic albeit beautiful experience of adolescence and adulthood as a woman. Uncanny that such complexity is so intuitively understood by women world wide through metal and stone, but Shana Cave's ideas are as precious as the materials she uses in her work.  An impishly knobby Viking Princess ring, Topaz vines blooming on the wrist, delicate lace cut out of chunky sheet metal, rubies and sapphires sprouting from earrings, Shana Cave's pieces touch the “I'm just a girl” that's hiding deep in every woman's soul.  Check out her collection Dec 6-8 11-7PM at 434 E. 9th St. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/karina-chan4/support
