In this episode of the EmpowerMoms Podcast, we’re joined by Bridget, the creative force and heart behind @copperrosejewelry. From humble beginnings as a side hustle to growing a full-time jewelry business, Bridget shares her journey with honesty, heart, and humour.
We chat about what it really takes to build something from scratch—navigating mistakes, learning as you go, and the power of choosing collaboration over competition. Bridget opens up about the emotional side of entrepreneurship, balancing motherhood and business, and how community and connection have shaped her path.
She also shares how she’s listened to her customers (including the little ones!) to expand her product line, and why staying grounded in your why matters so much—especially in a crowded social media space.
