(01:21):
much for jumping on today. Iknow that the Contagious
Victory's audience is gonnareally enjoy your victory story.
Can you tell us a little bitabout Darling and Divine?
Sydney Tanner (01:30):
Yes. Hello, Tori and everyone listening. It's so
great to be on, and I'm soexcited to share my victory
story. So a little bit about me.My name is Sydney Tanner.
I currently live in Dallas,Texas with my husband. We
recently got married, and it'sjust been so fun learning to
navigate life in a new season,in a new city because we're
originally from Minnesota. And Istarted my jewelry business 6
(01:53):
years ago, and I've learned alot through it, and pivoted
along the way in differentareas. We've offered different
things throughout this whole 6years, but I'm most passionate
about where we're at now,obviously, through the growth
and the hurdles and all thethings. And so I guess the short
and sweet is that I started itjust for fun.
You know? I feel like a lot ofpeople start their businesses
(02:16):
for fun out of a passion, and Istarted going into college, and
I joined a sorority. I went toColorado State. And there, I
just grew a big big network ofpeople, and I did a bunch of
events. And people were like,you have really something going
here.
And so it just kinda grew fromword-of-mouth. I remember
walking on campus and seeing myjewelry on a bunch of girls I'd
(02:39):
never met, and I was like, thisis crazy. And so truly from,
like, sorority networking, mybusiness grew a lot in college.
And then from there, it's justkind of catalyst us into 60
events a year, and we have anonline presence. And, yeah, it's
busy.
It's really fun.
Victoria B. Glass (02:59):
Wow. Well, I knew you were a business babe,
but 60 events a year, that isthat's something. And then to
say that it started fromsomething that was just a hobby
at first, but then has growninto into a business, and the
impact that you've made on yourfriends from college all the way
to women in multiple states.
Sydney Tanner (03:17):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (03:17):
So that's really neat that you, you know,
have been doing this for 6years, and I wanna take it back
to the very beginning.
Sydney Tanner (03:24):
Okay.
Victoria B. Glass (03:24):
So I know you told me you started this from
college. What really inspiredyou to, I guess, get serious
about making jewelry? What wasthat first day like when you're
like, alright. I'm gonnaactually pursue this.
Sydney Tanner (03:37):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (03:38):
Tell us a little bit from the very
beginning.
Sydney Tanner (03:40):
For sure. So I remember I was walking to one of
my college of business classeswith my roommate, and at the
time, I was on Etsy, again, justfor fun. Like, I it was a lot
acclimating to college as manyknow. Like, it's just you're
freshman, the dorms, like,meeting new friends. You're in a
new place, new city usually. Andso I kinda put it on the back
(04:02):
burner, and my roommate, when wewere walking to class, was like,
I really think you havesomething going here. I think
you should pursue it more. Andso I was like, okay. Like, I
should, you know, start postingon social media more. I should
start, like, prioritizing this.
And I I started to look at itas, like, okay. This is a great
project to, like, implement whatI'm learning in class, in
(04:22):
college to my business.
Victoria B. Glass (04:24):
Okay.
Sydney Tanner (04:24):
so it was kind of like the passion project through
college, you know, which isreally, really fun. And so that
was kind of the catalyst was Igot a nudge from my roommate,
and she was like, I think youcould really do something with
this. And then from there, yeah,just worked hard and tried to
grow it as much as I could.
Victoria B. Glass (04:39):
So your victory story from the very
beginning started with thatsupport from a friend who really
urged you to take that leap. Didshe help you come up with the
name, Darling and Divine? Howdid you come up with that name?
Sydney Tanner (04:52):
Yeah. When I realized this past year that I
wanted to pivot and grow thebusiness and make it more
mature, I started praying overwhat do I want the name to be.
And I was working out, and thename divine came in my mind, and
I was like, that's so random.Like, I'm literally lifting
weights. How I was like, Lord,like, speak to me, like, how
(05:12):
like, what do you want thisbusiness to be named? And I
heard the word divine. And I waslike, okay. Like, are we trying
to do, like, a fitness businessnow? Like, what, you know, what
is his plan in this? And then Ijust started thinking about it
more and praying, and I waslike, you know, is there a word
to accompany it?
And I was like, you know,playing around with things and
(05:33):
praying more, and the worddarling came to mind. I was
driving up to meet a friend thatcame to mind, and I was like,
okay. Like, darling, divine.Like, those were just 2 words in
my head playing around. And themeaning behind it is, like, we
have a divine King, and we'rechildren, daughters of a divine
King, but we are also His littledarling. And He's our Father.
Victoria B. Glass (05:53):
AWW!
Sydney Tanner (05:55):
And so it's like the, you know, like, the sweet
moments of, like, we have like,we are divine, but then we're
also, like, someone's littledarling. And the name actually,
like, formally came to be, Tori,when we were at the Heart
Conference, The Heart UniversityConference.
Victoria B. Glass (06:09):
Yes.
Sydney Tanner (06:10):
And I was chatting with some gals about,
like, I'm, you know, pivoting,renaming my business. Like, this
is, you know, I have these twowords. And 1 girl was like,
well, what if you, you know, putthe end, like, the ampersand
symbol between them and dodarling and divine? And I was
like, I think that's it. And themore I was praying on it, I was
like, yeah, this is perfect.Like, it's like the evolution of
(06:31):
a name I needed. And so that'skinda how the name came to be.
Victoria B. Glass (06:35):
Oh, that is such a good story. And you are
so right. The darling does comethrough. It's just this
precious, but also veryfeminine, you know, like a
daughter of of Christ. And Iloved the name before, but now
that you've explained it, thatjust makes me really appreciate
it. And the story behind it isreally, really so interesting
and so precious.
Sydney Tanner (06:55):
Thanks.
Victoria B. Glass (06:56):
And you sell jewelry. Your business is a
jewelry business. Yes. So thatdarling really does lean into
that jewelry of having theseprecious pieces that you're
passionate about creating, butpeople are passionate about
wearing too because they wannashow off just a unique side of
them. I love the the simple butalso very creative and unique
(07:16):
designs that you have. Whatwords do would you use to
describe your jewelry for somepeople who haven't seen it
before?
Sydney Tanner (07:21):
Yeah. I think you hit it right nail on the head.
Our motto is uniquely designedlike you because as children of
Christ, as daughters of Christ,we're each uniquely designed,
and our jewelry should be justas unique as us, you know, and
help emulate that beauty, thatnatural beauty we all have, but
it shouldn't take away. And sothat's our mission at Darling in
(07:42):
Divine is to create jewelrypieces that just help every
woman glow. They're very daintyand delicate, but they each have
a story, which I think is thereally fun part.
Victoria B. Glass (07:53):
Okay. And that that is really fun. Have
you always been a fan ofaccessories? or is this something that sprung up when you were in college?
Sydney Tanner: I think, you know.. for many jewelry can be a fun hobby for many to make. (08:06):
undefined
You know, you can look up, like,how to make jewelry, and that's
kinda how it started. Me and myfriend in high school started
making it, and then going intocollege, I kinda carried it on.
And so I wouldn't say that I,like, was, like, obsessed with
accessorizing. I think it wasmore so I had fun being
creative, and I love to DIYthings. And so it just kind of
grew from there naturally.
(08:27):
And now, obviously, I'm obsessedwith layering and accessorizing
and finding ways to, like, wearjewelry when you're swimming or
working out or just all oflife's moments. So all of our
jewelry is non tarnished,hypoallergenic, waterproof, and
that's something I really valueis because I personally love
working out, and so I wanna, youknow, look cute in the gym. Who
(08:48):
doesn't? And so that's a bigvalue of mine.
Victoria B. Glass (08:50):
Well, I'm looking at you now. We're video
recording, and this episode'sgonna be on the YouTube channel,
so be sure to look look out forit. Now I personally did not put
any jewelry on because I wasworried about it with the
podcast. Sometimes I haveheadphones in and stuff like
that, but you've got some in,and they're not messing with
anything. So I love that youdescribed your jewelry as
(09:11):
something that you can layer,you can wear at the gym, you can
wear, you know, out in the waterand even on a podcast, as I see.
Sydney Tanner (09:17):
No matter what you do.
Victoria B. Glass (09:19):
Yeah. And that just makes your brand stand
out even more because you'reshowing by example how easy it
is to look cute, to wearaccessories, and to show and
express yourself as the uniqueperson that you are, but also in
a very practical and simple waythat is very pretty and
feminine. And so I'm gonna haveto get some earrings, and in
(09:40):
that way, I don't have an excusenext time for not having any in.
Sydney Tanner (09:43):
Yes. There you go.
Victoria B. Glass (09:45):
Yeah. Well, so I want you to tell me a
little bit about your favoritepieces. I know you said you like
to layer. Yeah. Do you wear alot of necklaces? Like, when you
wake up and you go to yourjewelry, do you put on the same
stuff every day? Like, tell metell me about your favorite
pieces.
Sydney Tanner (10:00):
Yeah. Currently, I mean, it's always changing. I
feel like everyone's favoritethings are always changing. So,
currently, my favorite combobecause they match is our pearl
foundation Huggies, which iswhat I'm wearing right now.
They're super lightweight.
They are a pearl middle, andthen on the outside, they have a
little ribbing. And then thechain is like a huggy, which is
(10:20):
really fun. And then thenecklace, which I usually am
wearing, but I'm not wearingright now, is it complements it.
So it's a satellite chain. Soit's a chain with little gold
balls on it.
So if you go on our website,you'll see what I'm talking
about. So this is justincentive. You should go on the
website, check it out, and I'mdoing 15% off with code victory
for the listeners. So definitelycheck it out. But the
Victoria B. Glass (10:43):
That is so generous, Sydney. Thank you so
much. That's really sweet. Y'allshould go yes. Victory. Make
sure you cash in on that. That'sgood. Okay.
Sydney Tanner (10:53):
You're good. And so then the pearl foundation
necklace complements theearrings. So they're like, they
go together. When I designedthem and sketched them out, I
was like, I want something thatthey're each unique on their
own, but together, like, you cantell that they're a set. So the
necklace, the charm is the sameexact charm as the Huggies, and
it's stunning.
So everyone that gets them andwears them is just obsessed, and
(11:14):
so I can guarantee you'll beobsessed too.
Victoria B. Glass (11:17):
Well, don't laugh, but what's a Huggie?
Describe that. I've never heardof jewelry described like that.
Yeah.
Sydney Tanner (11:22):
Yeah. Great great question. So a Huggie is an
earring that has a lever back onit, and so it, like, closes.
Victoria B. Glass (11:28):
Okay.
Sydney Tanner (11:29):
So, if you're watching on YouTube, you can
kinda see what I'm demonstratinghere. But the back half, like,
bent, like, comes back and thenconnects and clicks together at
the top. So it's like a seamlesshoop. You know?
Victoria B. Glass (11:41):
Yes. I do have one pair of earrings that
are like that. I did not knowthat's what it was called, but
those are, like, my favoriteearrings. And so to hear that
yours are the Huggies, now Iknow what to shop for when I use
that victory code. That's reallygood to know. Thank you, Sydney,
for explaining that.
Sydney Tanner (11:57):
Of course, Yeah. Huggies are really popular right
now because I think women arewanting to wear their jewelry
out being active or just doinglife. You know, like, we
shouldn't have to stress about,like, our earrings not being fit
for our day to day activities.And so Huggies are awesome
because they're seamless, and sothey don't snag on anything. And
so it's just a seamless pair ofearrings that, again, you can
(12:20):
wear for anything, which isreally nice.
Victoria B. Glass (12:22):
Yeah. And as I'm looking at the ones that you
have on, they're moving a littlebit, but they're really not
moving too much. It's veryelegant the way that they're
hanging, so very cool.Hopefully, listeners, you have a
visual idea just by the way thatSydney described her earrings of
what she has on. But, yes, ifyou're at a place where you can
go and check out our video,check out her website, we're
(12:44):
gonna have all of the links forher Instagram and shop on the
show note, but you've gotta goand check it out and see all of
the beautiful jewelry that shehas. So, yes, incentive to go
and check that out right now.Well, I know that you have been
creating more as a individual,as a, you know, woman. So
outside of the business, you'vebeen doing some things like
(13:06):
working out and spending time inthe gym. You create for your
YouTube channel. Is that right?
Sydney Tanner (13:11):
Yep.
Victoria B. Glass (13:11):
Can you talk a little bit about that? how's
that been going?
Sydney Tanner (13:15):
Yeah. It's been so fun. So I got into, like,
consistently working out. I feellike right after college, I
started dating this guy. He wassuper into fitness. He's now my
husband. So that helps.
Victoria B. Glass (13:27):
ThGood story.
Sydney Tanner (13:27):
Yeah. Yeah!
Victoria B. Glass (13:28):
Yeah. That's a victory story.
Sydney Tanner (13:29):
That is a victory story. And so, yeah, we work
out. We actually just bought ahouse and moved in this past
weekend, which is so fun.
Victoria B. Glass (13:36):
What! That is so exciting.
Sydney Tanner (13:38):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (13:39):
And then what a great little memory too is,
like, a new chapter
Sydney Tanner (13:42):
I know.
Victoria B. Glass (13:42):
Weekend. That's a another victory story.
Sydney Tanner (13:44):
It really is. And
Victoria B. Glass (13:46):
I love that for you.
Sydney Tanner (13:47):
Thank you. And so the play the town we moved into
doesn't have, like, a gym,really. And so we're like, well,
we're just gonna turn our garageinto, like, the best home gym
ever. So this weekend, we spenttime, like, making it aesthetic,
and we painted it all black andmaking it really sleek and moody
and all the things. But, yeah,it was a great Memorial Day
(14:09):
weekend.
So basically, got into workingout and being more consistent.
Obviously, having accountabilityis super helpful, and I started
at F45. Have you heard of F45,Tori?
Victoria B. Glass (14:18):
I haven't. No. You wanna tell me about it?
Sydney Tanner (14:20):
Yeah. So it's a 45 minute class, hence 45. It
stands for functional 45. Soit's IT style workout. So
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, it'scardio based, and then Tuesday,
Thursday is strength.
And so it's really easy to justget consistent with it because
it's fun. You show up. You canhave, like, 2 brain cells going,
and, like, you have a workoutplan, which I feel like is half
(14:41):
the battle is figuring out whatthe heck you're gonna do at the
gym.
Victoria B. Glass (14:44):
Right.
Sydney Tanner (14:44):
So I got really consistent doing that, and then
I actually started coaching at aF45.
And then from there, I startedcoaching in Dallas once we moved
here and a bunch of differentgyms. And, yeah, it's just been
so fun. I love honoring my bodythrough working out, and I
think, like, that's somethingI'm really passionate about is,
like, physical movement, like,to honor Christ and bear a cross
(15:06):
that way. And so I think workingout is just a great outlet.
Victoria B. Glass (15:10):
It is. I bet you meet a lot of new people
too. It's going to the gym, andit's something I feel like and
on a social level that peoplelove to do as well. And so I
have stepped away from that, butyou're inspiring me right now to
get back to it just because...
Sydney Tanner (15:25):
yes girl
Victoria B. Glass (15:25):
You know all the different reasons that you
listed are really good reasons.Well, you talked about painting
your garage this weekend andturning that into a home gym. Is
that something that you havebeen sharing about, like, the
process online, creating contentaround it? Because it seems like
when I...
Sydney Tanner (15:40):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (15:41):
Yeah. It seems like when I saw your
YouTube channel, I remember I'veseen a couple of your videos.
But one of them had more of aworkout fitness, and then some
of them were, like, you know,talking to the camera, like,
just lifestyle stuff. So I wasjust curious to hear if that's a
part of your online presence.
Sydney Tanner (15:56):
Yeah. Great question. So I've I'm filming
and currently editing a reelfor, like, our garage
transformation. And so on myInstagram, which is at
@Sydney.Tanner which I knowTori's putting in the show
notes, but there'll be, like, atransformation reel I'll be
posting, I think, sometime thisweek. But with YouTube, I love
YouTube, and I started outstrong.
(16:17):
I was like, I'm gonna post everyweek, and I'm sure you feel this
with a podcast, but it's so muchwork. And I was thinking about
what outlets in my life, like,do I wanna keep pouring into,
and I'm not, like, completelystepped away from YouTube. But
at the moment, I'm funneling,like, a lot of my energy towards
my business because, like, Lordwilling, one day, I pray that we
(16:37):
can be full time and, like, thatwould be so awesome. And so I
think it was a challengingdecision to be like, okay. I'm
gonna pause right now, but itdoesn't mean I can't come back
to it in the future, obviously.So
Victoria B. Glass (16:49):
Oh, yeah. Well, I guess the algorithm was
just doing you right because Ididn't look at the time stamps.
I just know that I kept seeingmore videos pop up over here.
So I wanted to let you know thatyour content is still reaching
people. So even if you havestepped away from it, your
message, you know, is stillaffecting and inspiring people
online.
Sydney Tanner (17:07):
AW Thanks Tori.
Victoria B. Glass (17:07):
And I can't wait to see that real.
Sydney Tanner (17:09):
Yes
Victoria B. Glass (17:10):
Listeners, another thing you're gonna have
to check out because the waythat you talked about how you
painted it
Sydney Tanner (17:15):
Mhmm.
Victoria B. Glass (17:16):
Everything, I'm just excited to see how that
transformation comes along.
Sydney Tanner (17:19):
Thanks, girl.
Victoria B. Glass (17:20):
That's really cool.
Sydney Tanner (17:20):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (17:21):
I don't know if you I think it was the
Armchair Expert podcast. I don'tknow if you've ever heard of
that one. The host was talkingabout how he got, like, this big
sign to put in his garage Andnamed his home gym, like, a real
gym. So there's someinspiration if you're interested in naming it, haha.
Sydney Tanner (17:39):
Yeah. We might have to. We talked about
putting... Have you heard of theman in the arena quote?
Victoria B. Glass: Yeah. that's a good quote. (17:44):
undefined
Sydney Tanner (17:44):
Yeah. So my husband loves that quote. And so
we talk about maybe putting,like, a piece of art that has
that quote in it just becauseit's so good. But I don't know.
I'm all about the aesthetics.
So I was on Pinterest looking atinspo and trying to pull from
it. Right now, the garage isblack, which is pretty crazy.
Like, we walked ourneighborhood. Everyone's garage
(18:05):
is white, and then there's ours.It's just the novelty.
Victoria B. Glass (18:09):
Well, it's gonna come together, and just
let it unfold as, you know, timegoes on. We've done a good job
of, like, unpacking andeverything, but there's still
weekends where we'll do a littleproject and stuff. So just
leave, you know, space and roomfor it to just fall altogether.
It'll come come together.
Sydney Tanner (18:25):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (18:25):
Well, as a business owner, creative, as a
woman, do you have anyrecommendations of things that
are really interesting to youright now, like podcast or
books, anything like that?
Sydney Tanner (18:38):
I would say if I guess speaking to some like, my
previous self. Right? Like, 10years ago, what would be
resources that would bebeneficial for me? Right now, I
am loving the Product Bosspodcast. I've been listening to
them for a couple years. Haveyou heard of them, Tori?
Victoria B. Glass (18:54):
No. I haven't, but I love a good
podcast recommendation. So okay.
Sydney Tanner (18:58):
They are phenomenal.
Victoria B. Glass (18:59):
The Product Boss. Got it. Okay.
Sydney Tanner (19:00):
The Product boss.
So it used to be 2 girls,Jacqueline and Mina, but Mina, I
believe, stepped away, and she'sdoing her own thing now. But
they both have grown verysuccessful multi figure product
based businesses, and they justreally break down and give,
like, a bunch of applicationsteps to how to implement things
(19:22):
and get the wheel movingforward. So that's really great.
And then I feel like everyoneknows who she is, but Jenna
Kutcher, the Gold Diggerpodcast, she is phenomenal.
Victoria B. Glass (19:31):
I do like hers. I've been listening to
hers for years and love there-branding she's been doing
lately.
Sydney Tanner (19:36):
Yeah. Yeah. So she's great. And then I guess
any other things I'm loving? Ifeel like lately, there's been
so many Amazon dupes that havebeen so good, for, like, free
people.
I love free people. So Amazondupes are always great.
Victoria B. Glass (19:51):
Do you share your recommendations on like to
know it, or do you have, like, apage where you link some of your
favorite products?
Sydney Tanner (19:58):
I have an Amazon storefront, but I'm trying to
get more into, like like to knowit linking everything. But I
also feel like, how how muchenergy am I trying to put into,
like, every single platform? Iknow you know how it is.
Victoria B. Glass (20:10):
I definitely know how it is.
Sydney Tanner (20:12):
So I don't have a like to know it, but I link all
my Amazon things in mystorefront.
Victoria B. Glass (20:18):
Okay. I'm gonna have to check out the
dupes you've been sharing.
Sydney Tanner (20:20):
Like Yeah. There's good ones. It's just
crazy to me, like, how there canbe, like, like, literally
identical clothing. You know?
Victoria B. Glass (20:27):
So funny story. I do know. Dylan, my
husband, heard me order a dupeonce, and so it's it was like a
jumpsuit. I think it was a FreePeople dupe. Mhmm. And he didn't
realize, like, what dupe meantas in, like, another version of
it, you know, that's moreaffordable. And so he just
thought that the item itself,like, the design of the garment
(20:47):
was a dupe. And so every time,like, we're folding it or I'm
doing laundry and stuff, he'slike, oh, this is your dupe. And
I'm like, Dylan, the dupe is theidea of it, not the actual, you
know, one suit.
Sydney Tanner (20:59):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (21:00):
And so we always laugh at that word, just
dupe, in general too.
Sydney Tanner (21:03):
That's so funny. I love that story.
Victoria B. Glass (21:05):
Funny random, yeah, tangent.
Sydney Tanner (21:06):
Yeah. What would you say is something you're
loving right now?
Victoria B. Glass (21:09):

recently got into some newpodcasts that are not self help,
like More fiction, like sciencefiction, which I've never really
been in. But I love to listen tothings while I work, and music
is great.
But sometimes I find myselfgetting into a habit between,
(21:30):
like, listening to certainartists and then just listening
to, like, my favorite podcast.So I have reached out in a
different genre and have foundthat it's been really helpful to
kinda have something a littlebit interesting going on in the
background.

Can you tell us a little bitabout Darling and Divine?
Sydney Tanner (01:30):
Yes. Hello, Tori and everyone listening. It's so
great to be on, and I'm soexcited to share my victory
story. So a little bit about me.My name is Sydney Tanner.
I currently live in Dallas,Texas with my husband. We
recently got married, and it'sjust been so fun learning to
navigate life in a new season,in a new city because we're
originally from Minnesota. And Istarted my jewelry business 6
(01:53):
years ago, and I've learned alot through it, and pivoted
along the way in differentareas. We've offered different
things throughout this whole 6years, but I'm most passionate
about where we're at now,obviously, through the growth
and the hurdles and all thethings. And so I guess the short
and sweet is that I started itjust for fun.
You know? I feel like a lot ofpeople start their businesses
(02:16):
for fun out of a passion, and Istarted going into college, and
I joined a sorority. I went toColorado State. And there, I
just grew a big big network ofpeople, and I did a bunch of
events. And people were like,you have really something going
here.
And so it just kinda grew fromword-of-mouth. I remember
walking on campus and seeing myjewelry on a bunch of girls I'd
(02:39):
never met, and I was like, thisis crazy. And so truly from,
like, sorority networking, mybusiness grew a lot in college.
And then from there, it's justkind of catalyst us into 60
events a year, and we have anonline presence. And, yeah, it's
busy.
It's really fun.
Victoria B. Glass (02:59):
Wow. Well, I knew you were a business babe,
but 60 events a year, that isthat's something. And then to
say that it started fromsomething that was just a hobby
at first, but then has growninto into a business, and the
impact that you've made on yourfriends from college all the way
to women in multiple states.
Sydney Tanner (03:17):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (03:17):
So that's really neat that you, you know,
have been doing this for 6years, and I wanna take it back
to the very beginning.
Sydney Tanner (03:24):
Okay.
Victoria B. Glass (03:24):
So I know you told me you started this from
college. What really inspiredyou to, I guess, get serious
about making jewelry? What wasthat first day like when you're
like, alright. I'm gonnaactually pursue this.
Sydney Tanner (03:37):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (03:38):
Tell us a little bit from the very
beginning.
Sydney Tanner (03:40):
For sure. So I remember I was walking to one of
my college of business classeswith my roommate, and at the
time, I was on Etsy, again, justfor fun. Like, I it was a lot
acclimating to college as manyknow. Like, it's just you're
freshman, the dorms, like,meeting new friends. You're in a
new place, new city usually. Andso I kinda put it on the back
(04:02):
burner, and my roommate, when wewere walking to class, was like,
I really think you havesomething going here. I think
you should pursue it more. Andso I was like, okay. Like, I
should, you know, start postingon social media more. I should
start, like, prioritizing this.
And I I started to look at itas, like, okay. This is a great
project to, like, implement whatI'm learning in class, in
(04:22):
college to my business.
Victoria B. Glass (04:24):
Okay.
Sydney Tanner (04:24):
so it was kind of like the passion project through
college, you know, which isreally, really fun. And so that
was kind of the catalyst was Igot a nudge from my roommate,
and she was like, I think youcould really do something with
this. And then from there, yeah,just worked hard and tried to
grow it as much as I could.
Victoria B. Glass (04:39):
So your victory story from the very
beginning started with thatsupport from a friend who really
urged you to take that leap. Didshe help you come up with the
name, Darling and Divine? Howdid you come up with that name?
Sydney Tanner (04:52):
Yeah. When I realized this past year that I
wanted to pivot and grow thebusiness and make it more
mature, I started praying overwhat do I want the name to be.
And I was working out, and thename divine came in my mind, and
I was like, that's so random.Like, I'm literally lifting
weights. How I was like, Lord,like, speak to me, like, how
(05:12):
like, what do you want thisbusiness to be named? And I
heard the word divine. And I waslike, okay. Like, are we trying
to do, like, a fitness businessnow? Like, what, you know, what
is his plan in this? And then Ijust started thinking about it
more and praying, and I waslike, you know, is there a word
to accompany it?
And I was like, you know,playing around with things and
(05:33):
praying more, and the worddarling came to mind. I was
driving up to meet a friend thatcame to mind, and I was like,
okay. Like, darling, divine.Like, those were just 2 words in
my head playing around. And themeaning behind it is, like, we
have a divine King, and we'rechildren, daughters of a divine
King, but we are also His littledarling. And He's our Father.
Victoria B. Glass (05:53):
AWW!
Sydney Tanner (05:55):
And so it's like the, you know, like, the sweet
moments of, like, we have like,we are divine, but then we're
also, like, someone's littledarling. And the name actually,
like, formally came to be, Tori,when we were at the Heart
Conference, The Heart UniversityConference.
Victoria B. Glass (06:09):
Yes.
Sydney Tanner (06:10):
And I was chatting with some gals about,
like, I'm, you know, pivoting,renaming my business. Like, this
is, you know, I have these twowords. And 1 girl was like,
well, what if you, you know, putthe end, like, the ampersand
symbol between them and dodarling and divine? And I was
like, I think that's it. And themore I was praying on it, I was
like, yeah, this is perfect.Like, it's like the evolution of
(06:31):
a name I needed. And so that'skinda how the name came to be.
Victoria B. Glass (06:35):
Oh, that is such a good story. And you are
so right. The darling does comethrough. It's just this
precious, but also veryfeminine, you know, like a
daughter of of Christ. And Iloved the name before, but now
that you've explained it, thatjust makes me really appreciate
it. And the story behind it isreally, really so interesting
and so precious.
Sydney Tanner (06:55):
Thanks.
Victoria B. Glass (06:56):
And you sell jewelry. Your business is a
jewelry business. Yes. So thatdarling really does lean into
that jewelry of having theseprecious pieces that you're
passionate about creating, butpeople are passionate about
wearing too because they wannashow off just a unique side of
them. I love the the simple butalso very creative and unique
(07:16):
designs that you have. Whatwords do would you use to
describe your jewelry for somepeople who haven't seen it
before?
Sydney Tanner (07:21):
Yeah. I think you hit it right nail on the head.
Our motto is uniquely designedlike you because as children of
Christ, as daughters of Christ,we're each uniquely designed,
and our jewelry should be justas unique as us, you know, and
help emulate that beauty, thatnatural beauty we all have, but
it shouldn't take away. And sothat's our mission at Darling in
(07:42):
Divine is to create jewelrypieces that just help every
woman glow. They're very daintyand delicate, but they each have
a story, which I think is thereally fun part.
Victoria B. Glass (07:53):
Okay. And that that is really fun. Have
you always been a fan ofaccessories? or is this something that sprung up when you were in college?
Sydney Tanner: I think, you know.. for many jewelry can be a fun hobby for many to make. (08:06):
undefined
You know, you can look up, like,how to make jewelry, and that's
kinda how it started. Me and myfriend in high school started
making it, and then going intocollege, I kinda carried it on.
And so I wouldn't say that I,like, was, like, obsessed with
accessorizing. I think it wasmore so I had fun being
creative, and I love to DIYthings. And so it just kind of
grew from there naturally.
(08:27):
And now, obviously, I'm obsessedwith layering and accessorizing
and finding ways to, like, wearjewelry when you're swimming or
working out or just all oflife's moments. So all of our
jewelry is non tarnished,hypoallergenic, waterproof, and
that's something I really valueis because I personally love
working out, and so I wanna, youknow, look cute in the gym. Who
(08:48):
doesn't? And so that's a bigvalue of mine.
Victoria B. Glass (08:50):
Well, I'm looking at you now. We're video
recording, and this episode'sgonna be on the YouTube channel,
so be sure to look look out forit. Now I personally did not put
any jewelry on because I wasworried about it with the
podcast. Sometimes I haveheadphones in and stuff like
that, but you've got some in,and they're not messing with
anything. So I love that youdescribed your jewelry as
(09:11):
something that you can layer,you can wear at the gym, you can
wear, you know, out in the waterand even on a podcast, as I see.
Sydney Tanner (09:17):
No matter what you do.
Victoria B. Glass (09:19):
Yeah. And that just makes your brand stand
out even more because you'reshowing by example how easy it
is to look cute, to wearaccessories, and to show and
express yourself as the uniqueperson that you are, but also in
a very practical and simple waythat is very pretty and
feminine. And so I'm gonna haveto get some earrings, and in
(09:40):
that way, I don't have an excusenext time for not having any in.
Sydney Tanner (09:43):
Yes. There you go.
Victoria B. Glass (09:45):
Yeah. Well, so I want you to tell me a
little bit about your favoritepieces. I know you said you like
to layer. Yeah. Do you wear alot of necklaces? Like, when you
wake up and you go to yourjewelry, do you put on the same
stuff every day? Like, tell metell me about your favorite
pieces.
Sydney Tanner (10:00):
Yeah. Currently, I mean, it's always changing. I
feel like everyone's favoritethings are always changing. So,
currently, my favorite combobecause they match is our pearl
foundation Huggies, which iswhat I'm wearing right now.
They're super lightweight.
They are a pearl middle, andthen on the outside, they have a
little ribbing. And then thechain is like a huggy, which is
(10:20):
really fun. And then thenecklace, which I usually am
wearing, but I'm not wearingright now, is it complements it.
So it's a satellite chain. Soit's a chain with little gold
balls on it.
So if you go on our website,you'll see what I'm talking
about. So this is justincentive. You should go on the
website, check it out, and I'mdoing 15% off with code victory
for the listeners. So definitelycheck it out. But the
Victoria B. Glass (10:43):
That is so generous, Sydney. Thank you so
much. That's really sweet. Y'allshould go yes. Victory. Make
sure you cash in on that. That'sgood. Okay.
Sydney Tanner (10:53):
You're good. And so then the pearl foundation
necklace complements theearrings. So they're like, they
go together. When I designedthem and sketched them out, I
was like, I want something thatthey're each unique on their
own, but together, like, you cantell that they're a set. So the
necklace, the charm is the sameexact charm as the Huggies, and
it's stunning.
So everyone that gets them andwears them is just obsessed, and
(11:14):
so I can guarantee you'll beobsessed too.
Victoria B. Glass (11:17):
Well, don't laugh, but what's a Huggie?
Describe that. I've never heardof jewelry described like that.
Yeah.
Sydney Tanner (11:22):
Yeah. Great great question. So a Huggie is an
earring that has a lever back onit, and so it, like, closes.
Victoria B. Glass (11:28):
Okay.
Sydney Tanner (11:29):
So, if you're watching on YouTube, you can
kinda see what I'm demonstratinghere. But the back half, like,
bent, like, comes back and thenconnects and clicks together at
the top. So it's like a seamlesshoop. You know?
Victoria B. Glass (11:41):
Yes. I do have one pair of earrings that
are like that. I did not knowthat's what it was called, but
those are, like, my favoriteearrings. And so to hear that
yours are the Huggies, now Iknow what to shop for when I use
that victory code. That's reallygood to know. Thank you, Sydney,
for explaining that.
Sydney Tanner (11:57):
Of course, Yeah. Huggies are really popular right
now because I think women arewanting to wear their jewelry
out being active or just doinglife. You know, like, we
shouldn't have to stress about,like, our earrings not being fit
for our day to day activities.And so Huggies are awesome
because they're seamless, and sothey don't snag on anything. And
so it's just a seamless pair ofearrings that, again, you can
(12:20):
wear for anything, which isreally nice.
Victoria B. Glass (12:22):
Yeah. And as I'm looking at the ones that you
have on, they're moving a littlebit, but they're really not
moving too much. It's veryelegant the way that they're
hanging, so very cool.Hopefully, listeners, you have a
visual idea just by the way thatSydney described her earrings of
what she has on. But, yes, ifyou're at a place where you can
go and check out our video,check out her website, we're
(12:44):
gonna have all of the links forher Instagram and shop on the
show note, but you've gotta goand check it out and see all of
the beautiful jewelry that shehas. So, yes, incentive to go
and check that out right now.Well, I know that you have been
creating more as a individual,as a, you know, woman. So
outside of the business, you'vebeen doing some things like
(13:06):
working out and spending time inthe gym. You create for your
YouTube channel. Is that right?
Sydney Tanner (13:11):
Yep.
Victoria B. Glass (13:11):
Can you talk a little bit about that? how's
that been going?
Sydney Tanner (13:15):
Yeah. It's been so fun. So I got into, like,
consistently working out. I feellike right after college, I
started dating this guy. He wassuper into fitness. He's now my
husband. So that helps.
Victoria B. Glass (13:27):
ThGood story.
Sydney Tanner (13:27):
Yeah. Yeah!
Victoria B. Glass (13:28):
Yeah. That's a victory story.
Sydney Tanner (13:29):
That is a victory story. And so, yeah, we work
out. We actually just bought ahouse and moved in this past
weekend, which is so fun.
Victoria B. Glass (13:36):
What! That is so exciting.
Sydney Tanner (13:38):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (13:39):
And then what a great little memory too is,
like, a new chapter
Sydney Tanner (13:42):
I know.
Victoria B. Glass (13:42):
Weekend. That's a another victory story.
Sydney Tanner (13:44):
It really is. And
Victoria B. Glass (13:46):
I love that for you.
Sydney Tanner (13:47):
Thank you. And so the play the town we moved into
doesn't have, like, a gym,really. And so we're like, well,
we're just gonna turn our garageinto, like, the best home gym
ever. So this weekend, we spenttime, like, making it aesthetic,
and we painted it all black andmaking it really sleek and moody
and all the things. But, yeah,it was a great Memorial Day
(14:09):
weekend.
So basically, got into workingout and being more consistent.
Obviously, having accountabilityis super helpful, and I started
at F45. Have you heard of F45,Tori?
Victoria B. Glass (14:18):
I haven't. No. You wanna tell me about it?
Sydney Tanner (14:20):
Yeah. So it's a 45 minute class, hence 45. It
stands for functional 45. Soit's IT style workout. So
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, it'scardio based, and then Tuesday,
Thursday is strength.
And so it's really easy to justget consistent with it because
it's fun. You show up. You canhave, like, 2 brain cells going,
and, like, you have a workoutplan, which I feel like is half
(14:41):
the battle is figuring out whatthe heck you're gonna do at the
gym.
Victoria B. Glass (14:44):
Right.
Sydney Tanner (14:44):
So I got really consistent doing that, and then
I actually started coaching at aF45.
And then from there, I startedcoaching in Dallas once we moved
here and a bunch of differentgyms. And, yeah, it's just been
so fun. I love honoring my bodythrough working out, and I
think, like, that's somethingI'm really passionate about is,
like, physical movement, like,to honor Christ and bear a cross
(15:06):
that way. And so I think workingout is just a great outlet.
Victoria B. Glass (15:10):
It is. I bet you meet a lot of new people
too. It's going to the gym, andit's something I feel like and
on a social level that peoplelove to do as well. And so I
have stepped away from that, butyou're inspiring me right now to
get back to it just because...
Sydney Tanner (15:25):
yes girl
Victoria B. Glass (15:25):
You know all the different reasons that you
listed are really good reasons.Well, you talked about painting
your garage this weekend andturning that into a home gym. Is
that something that you havebeen sharing about, like, the
process online, creating contentaround it? Because it seems like
when I...
Sydney Tanner (15:40):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (15:41):
Yeah. It seems like when I saw your
YouTube channel, I remember I'veseen a couple of your videos.
But one of them had more of aworkout fitness, and then some
of them were, like, you know,talking to the camera, like,
just lifestyle stuff. So I wasjust curious to hear if that's a
part of your online presence.
Sydney Tanner (15:56):
Yeah. Great question. So I've I'm filming
and currently editing a reelfor, like, our garage
transformation. And so on myInstagram, which is at
@Sydney.Tanner which I knowTori's putting in the show
notes, but there'll be, like, atransformation reel I'll be
posting, I think, sometime thisweek. But with YouTube, I love
YouTube, and I started outstrong.
(16:17):
I was like, I'm gonna post everyweek, and I'm sure you feel this
with a podcast, but it's so muchwork. And I was thinking about
what outlets in my life, like,do I wanna keep pouring into,
and I'm not, like, completelystepped away from YouTube. But
at the moment, I'm funneling,like, a lot of my energy towards
my business because, like, Lordwilling, one day, I pray that we
(16:37):
can be full time and, like, thatwould be so awesome. And so I
think it was a challengingdecision to be like, okay. I'm
gonna pause right now, but itdoesn't mean I can't come back
to it in the future, obviously.So
Victoria B. Glass (16:49):
Oh, yeah. Well, I guess the algorithm was
just doing you right because Ididn't look at the time stamps.
I just know that I kept seeingmore videos pop up over here.
So I wanted to let you know thatyour content is still reaching
people. So even if you havestepped away from it, your
message, you know, is stillaffecting and inspiring people
online.
Sydney Tanner (17:07):
AW Thanks Tori.
Victoria B. Glass (17:07):
And I can't wait to see that real.
Sydney Tanner (17:09):
Yes
Victoria B. Glass (17:10):
Listeners, another thing you're gonna have
to check out because the waythat you talked about how you
painted it
Sydney Tanner (17:15):
Mhmm.
Victoria B. Glass (17:16):
Everything, I'm just excited to see how that
transformation comes along.
Sydney Tanner (17:19):
Thanks, girl.
Victoria B. Glass (17:20):
That's really cool.
Sydney Tanner (17:20):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (17:21):
I don't know if you I think it was the
Armchair Expert podcast. I don'tknow if you've ever heard of
that one. The host was talkingabout how he got, like, this big
sign to put in his garage Andnamed his home gym, like, a real
gym. So there's someinspiration if you're interested in naming it, haha.
Sydney Tanner (17:39):
Yeah. We might have to. We talked about
putting... Have you heard of theman in the arena quote?
Victoria B. Glass: Yeah. that's a good quote. (17:44):
undefined
Sydney Tanner (17:44):
Yeah. So my husband loves that quote. And so
we talk about maybe putting,like, a piece of art that has
that quote in it just becauseit's so good. But I don't know.
I'm all about the aesthetics.
So I was on Pinterest looking atinspo and trying to pull from
it. Right now, the garage isblack, which is pretty crazy.
Like, we walked ourneighborhood. Everyone's garage
(18:05):
is white, and then there's ours.It's just the novelty.
Victoria B. Glass (18:09):
Well, it's gonna come together, and just
let it unfold as, you know, timegoes on. We've done a good job
of, like, unpacking andeverything, but there's still
weekends where we'll do a littleproject and stuff. So just
leave, you know, space and roomfor it to just fall altogether.
It'll come come together.
Sydney Tanner (18:25):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (18:25):
Well, as a business owner, creative, as a
woman, do you have anyrecommendations of things that
are really interesting to youright now, like podcast or
books, anything like that?
Sydney Tanner (18:38):
I would say if I guess speaking to some like, my
previous self. Right? Like, 10years ago, what would be
resources that would bebeneficial for me? Right now, I
am loving the Product Bosspodcast. I've been listening to
them for a couple years. Haveyou heard of them, Tori?
Victoria B. Glass (18:54):
No. I haven't, but I love a good
podcast recommendation. So okay.
Sydney Tanner (18:58):
They are phenomenal.
Victoria B. Glass (18:59):
The Product Boss. Got it. Okay.
Sydney Tanner (19:00):
The Product boss.
So it used to be 2 girls,Jacqueline and Mina, but Mina, I
believe, stepped away, and she'sdoing her own thing now. But
they both have grown verysuccessful multi figure product
based businesses, and they justreally break down and give,
like, a bunch of applicationsteps to how to implement things
(19:22):
and get the wheel movingforward. So that's really great.
And then I feel like everyoneknows who she is, but Jenna
Kutcher, the Gold Diggerpodcast, she is phenomenal.
Victoria B. Glass (19:31):
I do like hers. I've been listening to
hers for years and love there-branding she's been doing
lately.
Sydney Tanner (19:36):
Yeah. Yeah. So she's great. And then I guess
any other things I'm loving? Ifeel like lately, there's been
so many Amazon dupes that havebeen so good, for, like, free
people.
I love free people. So Amazondupes are always great.
Victoria B. Glass (19:51):
Do you share your recommendations on like to
know it, or do you have, like, apage where you link some of your
favorite products?
Sydney Tanner (19:58):
I have an Amazon storefront, but I'm trying to
get more into, like like to knowit linking everything. But I
also feel like, how how muchenergy am I trying to put into,
like, every single platform? Iknow you know how it is.
Victoria B. Glass (20:10):
I definitely know how it is.
Sydney Tanner (20:12):
So I don't have a like to know it, but I link all
my Amazon things in mystorefront.
Victoria B. Glass (20:18):
Okay. I'm gonna have to check out the
dupes you've been sharing.
Sydney Tanner (20:20):
Like Yeah. There's good ones. It's just
crazy to me, like, how there canbe, like, like, literally
identical clothing. You know?
Victoria B. Glass (20:27):
So funny story. I do know. Dylan, my
husband, heard me order a dupeonce, and so it's it was like a
jumpsuit. I think it was a FreePeople dupe. Mhmm. And he didn't
realize, like, what dupe meantas in, like, another version of
it, you know, that's moreaffordable. And so he just
thought that the item itself,like, the design of the garment
(20:47):
was a dupe. And so every time,like, we're folding it or I'm
doing laundry and stuff, he'slike, oh, this is your dupe. And
I'm like, Dylan, the dupe is theidea of it, not the actual, you
know, one suit.
Sydney Tanner (20:59):
Yeah.
Victoria B. Glass (21:00):
And so we always laugh at that word, just
dupe, in general too.
Sydney Tanner (21:03):
That's so funny. I love that story.
Victoria B. Glass (21:05):
Funny random, yeah, tangent.
Sydney Tanner (21:06):
Yeah. What would you say is something you're
loving right now?
Victoria B. Glass (21:09):
Oh, that's a good question. Let's see. I
recently got into some newpodcasts that are not self help,
like More fiction, like sciencefiction, which I've never really
been in. But I love to listen tothings while I work, and music
is great.
But sometimes I find myselfgetting into a habit between,
(21:30):
like, listening to certainartists and then just listening
to, like, my favorite podcast.So I have reached out in a
different genre and have foundthat it's been really helpful to
kinda have something a littlebit interesting going on in the
background.

Victoria B. Glass (21:44):
