  • 256 | You're Not Unmotivated...Your Business Has No Structure // LIVE Coaching with Robyn
    Feb 19 2026

    Are you doing everything "right" in your jewelry business but still feeling stuck online?

    In this LIVE call-in coaching session, I sit down with Taryn Hume, the founder of Everbee Clay Co., to uncover what's really holding her business back. Taryn is a mom, a teacher, and a talented jewelry maker whose in-person markets are thriving, yet online sales feel heavy, inconsistent, and overwhelming.

    Together, we dig into why motivation isn't the issue, why perfectionism keeps so many jewelry business owners invisible, and how structure (not more hustle) is the missing piece. This episode is a powerful reminder that growing online sales doesn't mean working harder or doing more, it means simplifying, clarifying your message, and letting yourself be the face of your brand.

    If you've ever felt burnt out, stuck in overthinking, or frustrated that your online presence doesn't reflect the quality of your work, this episode will help you breathe easier and see your next steps clearly.

    What You Will Learn in this Episode:

    1. Why motivation and inspiration aren't the real problem for most jewelry business owners
    2. How hiding behind your brand can limit online growth and connection
    3. The importance of niching down in a saturated jewelry market
    4. How structure and systems create consistency without burnout

    Topics Discussed:

    • Call-in coaching for jewelry business owners
    • Online sales vs in-person markets
    • Perfectionism and overthinking on social media
    • Niching and brand differentiation
    • Being the face of your jewelry business
    • Structure, systems, and sustainable growth

  • 255 | You're Not Too Old: This Is Your Competitive Advantage in Business with Cheryl D'Arezzo
    Feb 12 2026

    Have you been telling yourself you're "too old" to start (or restart) your jewelry business?

    In this episode of the Jewelry Business Academy podcast, I'm sitting down with Cheryl D'Arezzo, founder of Cheryl Ann Jewelry, who's 67 and building a beautiful, thriving brand after decades of making jewelry quietly in the background.

    We talk about the limiting beliefs that keep so many jewelry business owners playing small, why purpose keeps you feeling young, and how community can completely change what feels possible. Cheryl shares what it was like learning the tech side of business (website, email, Instagram), what clicked for her at the JBA retreat, and how she finally embraced her audience and message without hiding her age.

    If you've been waiting for the "right time," this conversation will remind you: your next chapter can be your boldest one yet.

    What You Will Learn in this Episode:

    1. How "I'm too old" becomes a business ceiling and how to reframe it fast
    2. Why purpose and community are the two biggest accelerators for confidence and growth
    3. How to stop "making jewelry" and start building a real business with systems
    4. What it looks like to take messy action when tech and visibility feel intimidating

    Topics Discussed:

    • Starting (or restarting) a jewelry business later in life
    • Identity, confidence, and taking up space online
    • Building community and surrounding yourself with entrepreneurs
    • Tech hurdles: websites, email marketing, Instagram
    • Retreat breakthroughs + positioning your brand clearly
    • Wholesale growth + getting into stores

  • 254 | Her Jewelry Studio Flooded…Then She Sold Out by 10AM with Amanda Esposito
    Feb 5 2026

    Have you ever had something go so wrong in your jewelry business that you wondered if it was a sign to quit? In today's episode of the Jewelry Business Academy Podcast, I'm sitting down with Amanda Esposito from Northern Tide Studio to talk about what happened when her studio flooded right at the start of her busiest season.

    Instead of disappearing, shutting down, or scrambling to copy what other brands were doing, Amanda made a bold pivot. She shared the messy behind-the-scenes in real time, leaned into her artistry, and started creating hand-painted oyster shell necklaces from what she had available. What happened next was wild: customers started asking to buy them, launches sold out fast, stores joined waitlists, and her audience grew because they felt connected to her.

    This episode is a powerful reminder that your hardest season can become your biggest momentum moment…when you keep moving, stay true to your brand, and let your customers see the real story.

    What You Will Learn in this Episode:

    1. How to pivot fast when life disrupts your jewelry production (without burning your brand down)
    2. Why "messy action" creates momentum when perfection keeps you stuck
    3. How authentic storytelling builds deeper customer connection and drives sales
    4. What your customers actually want to see from you online (and why "polished" isn't the goal)

    Topics Discussed:

    • The emotional impact of a studio flood and losing a workspace
    • Pivoting during peak season when inventory and fulfillment are at risk
    • Documenting the behind-the-scenes to build trust and engagement
    • Creating a surprise bestselling product from limited materials
    • Simplifying packaging and focusing on what truly matters
    • Sustainable growth, community support, and staying grounded
