Lately, I’ve been hearing the same question come up again and again — in DMs, emails, and quiet conversations with other jewelry artists:

Should I be working with a coach right now?

In this bonus episode, I’m sharing an honest reflection from my own experience — what I’ve learned after investing in courses, coaching, and masterminds over the years, what ultimately felt supportive (and what didn’t), and how my relationship to “business advice” has shifted in this current season.

We’ll talk about:

• why support isn’t one-size-fits-all

• how timing and season matter more than formulas

• the difference between scaling and sustaining

• and why being in community with peers can sometimes offer more clarity than expert guidance

There’s no right answer here — just an invitation to listen inward, trust your own discernment, and choose what genuinely supports you right now.

If you’re feeling uncertain, tired, or overwhelmed by the noise, I hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone — and a little more grounded as you consider your next step.
