Katia Designs - When a Whisper From the Universe Becomes a Business

In this episode, I sit down with Katia Rudnick, the founder of Katia Designs, whose jewelry brand has become a powerful source of inspiration, empowerment, and emotional connection for thousands of women. 

What begins as a simple moment in a yoga class becomes a life-changing whisper from the universe—one that leads Katia to discover her purpose, unlock her creativity, and build a brand that helps women feel strong, centered, and connected to themselves.

Katia's story is a reminder that sometimes the things meant for us don't arrive as loud breakthroughs—they arrive as subtle nudges, intuitive sparks, and moments we choose to follow. Her journey from pop-up markets to a thriving, emotionally resonant jewelry business shows just how deeply people crave meaning, intention, and reminders of their own inner strength.

Key Highlights

* How a meditative moment in a yoga class sparked the creation of Katia Designs and awakened a new sense of purpose in Katia's life.

 

* The early pop-up market experiences that gave Katia the encouragement, validation, and "transfer of belief" she needed to keep creating.

 

* How her patented magnetic clasp design allows each necklace to be worn multiple ways—making her jewelry both meaningful and innovative.

 

* Why her pieces are more than accessories—they are emotional tools, reminders, and energetic vessels that help women navigate both everyday life and life's hardest moments.

 

* The astonishing loyalty of her customers, many of whom collect her pieces and treat them as part of their daily rituals of empowerment.
