This week we’ve partnered with The Budl Shop, a Los Angeles based handmade jewelry company, to share their story (11:33). When the pandemic hit in March, Taylor and Marina lost their jobs at a boutique event agency. While experiencing mental health struggles, they quickly became accountability partners. Eventually, Marina saw an opportunity to do something that had been on her mind for a long time: create handmade jewelry (20:38). After sharing the idea with Taylor, The Budl Shop was born! We’re talking about how they created a business while living on opposite coasts, their debut collection (25:05), and zero waste packaging—you read that right (30:33). For Marina, making jewelry is a form of therapy. Mental health and mindfulness are at the core of The Budl Shop’s brand and story (38:28).
