Are you stuck in a "stable" career while secretly dreaming of going all-in on your jewelry business?
In this episode, I sit down with Heidi Kalafut of Heidi Marie Private Jeweler to talk about her courageous leap from an 11-year career in financial services into a six-figure custom fine jewelry business. We unpack how she grew from a few engagement ring referrals to a thriving private studio, how she navigated that messy overlap between her 9–5 and her jewelry business, and what it really looks like to build a business while raising two little ones. Heidi shares the networking strategies that actually move the needle, how she thinks about pricing and markups with gold costs skyrocketing, and why this is exactly the time to raise your prices. If you've been craving proof that it's possible to build a profitable, sustainable jewelry business on your own terms, this conversation will light a fire under you.
