🎙️ Podcast Episode: She Chose Growth Over Approval — And Everything Changed

Opal lives in a converted U-Haul box truck, traveling the country and selling handmade jewelry. But when she feels called to start making higher-end pieces, she's hit with unexpected resistance; from friends, followers, and even herself. Can she grow her business without abandoning her roots?

In this episode, you'll hear a powerful story about stepping into your worth, navigating identity shifts, and the quiet courage it takes to charge what you deserve.

✨ Business Lessons:

• Sometimes people grow with you - and sometimes they don't.

• Raising your prices isn't selling out.

• Trust your gut. It’s usually wiser than the crowd.

If you’ve ever worried what people would think if you played bigger, this story will remind you: not everyone is meant to come with you when you rise.
