Crystals, Tea, and Tranquility: Finding Balance Between Work, Business, and Life

Running a crystal jewelry business while working full time is a dance of balance, passion, and perseverance. My weekdays are often spent at my 9-5, but my mind is always flowing with creative ideas for my jewelry—what stones to work with next, what designs to bring to life. Then come the weekends, and it’s vending time. I pack up my crystals, jewelry, and displays, and hit the road to share my creations with the world. The joy of connecting with customers, fellow healers, and crystal lovers keeps me inspired, even when exhaustion tries to creep in.

Behind the scenes, there’s a whole other layer: managing inventory that sometimes feels like it multiplies overnight, tracking sales across three different shops, and trying to keep everything organized. It’s rewarding—but it’s also a lot.

Then there’s family—my beautiful grandbabies who light up my world and remind me why balance matters. Between family gatherings, playtime, and cuddles, I try to make room for me too. Self-care isn’t always easy to prioritize, but I’ve learned that rest, movement, and quiet moments of reflection are essential to keeping my spirit aligned.

Some days, it feels like I’m juggling crystals, spreadsheets, and life all at once—but that’s the beauty of it. Every piece I create carries a little bit of that balance: the harmony between hustle and heart, work and wellness, grounding and growth.

Because just like the crystals I love, balance is all about energy—and I’m learning to keep mine shining bright.
