In this heartfelt video, I take you inside my jewelry studio to reconnect with the part of myself that feels most alive: the creative soul. After a whirlwind of responsibilities and feeling pulled in too many directions, I returned to my roots, designing handmade jewelry with intention and care. This isn’t just a behind the scenes look at soldering and crafting; it’s about coming home to yourself through art. From the first spark of inspiration to the finishing touches, I share each step of my creative process. Making jewelry isn’t just a passion, it's how I quiet mental noise, ease anxiety, and realign with what truly matters. Even though I live in the peaceful French countryside, my focus isn’t aesthetic minimalism, it’s emotional honesty, soulful expression, and staying true to my unique voice.

As I approach 55, my energy isn’t what it used to be and that’s okay. I’ve learned that slowing down, letting go of perfection, and creating from the heart is the way forward. This channel began as a way to explore that path, not to add to the online noise, but to offer something meaningful: slow, intentional artistry rooted in self reflection. While I’m working on my upcoming jewelry website (sign up below for launch updates and exclusive surprises), I’ll keep sharing this journey, balancing family, life, and creativity. My husband and sons have their own filmmaker’s world, but this is my space to experiment, discover, and grow. Whether you're an artist, a seeker, or just curious about the power of making, you're welcome here. Let’s keep creating lives that reflect who we are, messy, magical, and full of soul.
