If you’re a woman business owner over 40, join the Dear FoundHer... Forum to find support, advice, resources and mentorship—JUST FOR YOU. It’s all inside, without the gatekeeping and without the overwhelm.


Jennifer Meyer went from walking into jewelry shops with a sketch in hand to building a fine jewelry brand worn by Jennifer Aniston and sold at Barneys New York. She joins Lindsay to talk through the moments that shaped her twenty-year journey, from saving $7,500 over six months to cold-pitching jewelers and learning everything through trial, error, and curiosity. Jen shares how a last-minute decision to show her pieces to Aniston’s stylist helped launch her brand, and how a quiet meeting at Barneys turned into her first major order. She talks honestly about what it means to build something on your own terms, why she’s never taken outside investment, and how she’s stayed grounded as trends and platforms have changed around her.


You’ll hear Jen reflect on the emotional weight jewelry can carry, the challenges of raising prices in a shifting economy, and what still drives her to keep creating. How do you build a business that can evolve as you do? How do you stay focused when it feels like everyone else is racing ahead? And how do you know when it’s time to celebrate a win? Jen’s story is a reminder that starting small doesn’t mean thinking small. And that consistency and a little bit of nerve can take you further than you think!


Jen is celebrating 20 years of Jennifer Meyer Jewelry this year and is giving YOU an exclusive discount for the next week. You can use the code Foundher15 to save on her website: https://jennifermeyer.com/
