Ep 80 Trusting Your Creative Path: Building a Soulful Business with Angela Monaco

Welcome back, dear listener. Today’s guest is someone whose work radiates beauty, intention, and a deep reverence for the natural world—and whose journey as a creative and entrepreneur is a powerful testament to the role self-trust plays in bringing a vision to life.

Angela Monaco is a Philadelphia-based jewelry designer and the founder of Angela Monaco Jewelry, a fine jewelry brand and storefront that centers intuition, spirituality, creativity, and connection. Through handcrafted talismans made of gold, silver, and earth-toned gems, Angela’s pieces tell stories—both ancient and personal. They’re more than jewelry; they’re invitations to connect more deeply with yourself and the world around you.

In this conversation, Angela shares how she built her business from the ground up, how she continues to navigate the unknown with courage and creativity, and how she’s learned to trust her own instincts along the way—even when she didn’t have all the answers. We talk about the illusion that anyone “has it all figured out,” the creative power of curiosity, and what it really means to follow your own path.

If you're someone who struggles with perfectionism, comparison, or feeling like you’re not ready yet—this episode will remind you that no one starts out knowing what they’re doing… and that’s exactly where the magic begins. Let’s get into it.
