“Having a baby made me realize how much time I wasted before.” Laura from
@thewildpine is BACK on the latest episode of my podcast! Laura and I go way back, and I was deeply honored to be one of the first people she told when she found out she was pregnant. She’d already spent nearly a decade building a thriving jewelry business before becoming a mother, and this episode is her honest account of what it actually took to make room for both: planning around her business’s busiest season, the postpartum mental health struggles she didn’t see coming, months away from the bench, and coming back sharper and more focused than ever. Swipe through: us in Tucson last year, when she was only two months along and I was one of the very first to know. Then Laura pushing through batch work while pregnant. Her final collection before baby, born just four days later. Her first day back at the bench postpartum, with her adorable studio assistant and her first full collection back from maternity leave. Also added a screen grab from the podcast 😂 IYKYK with a reminder that my paid Patreon supporters get a bonus interview with Laura you can watch right now! My podcast could not continue without my Patreon fam. ❤️ Laura always has such good insight on being efficient with your time and building out successful collections, this episode is a great listen no matter where you’re at.
