Have you ever felt like the career you worked so hard for just isn’t it anymore?
In this episode, I sit down with jewelry designer Rilana Wenske, who shares her bold and beautiful journey from practicing law to launching her 80s-inspired gold jewelry brand. We talk about what it really looks like to leave a corporate path, how to trust your gut even when it doesn’t make logical sense, and why perfectionism will hold you back every time. This is such a heartfelt and inspiring conversation about finding your voice, showing up messy, and choosing your authentic path—no matter how unconventional it may seem.
What You Will Learn in this Episode:
Why your past career wasn’t a waste—it’s preparing you for your next chapter
How to embrace messy action and stop waiting to feel “ready”
What it takes to show up confidently on social media, even if it feels cringey
How community and support can fast-track your growth and ease the overwhelm
Topics Discussed:
Rilana’s transition from law to jewelry
Overcoming perfectionism in business
Building confidence through messy action
The power of consistency with content
Finding community through the JBA
Reconnecting with your inner child to grow your brand
