A cluttered jewellery shelf became a doorway to entrepreneurship, and a new mum’s need for creativity became the spark for a movement. Mel sits down with Krystal Jugarap, a two-time founder, brand visibility strategist, award-winning speaker, and mum of three. Krystal unpacks how a simple product idea led to Book of Bijoux and then to EM/POWEREDbyWMN, a fast-growing platform that gets women founders seen on stages, in stores and across media.
We dive into the practical engine behind visibility: building an open, user-friendly directory that helps people discover women-owned brands by identity and category; creating vendor markets and pop-up programs that connect makers to brick-and-mortar partners; and opening doors to speaking and press opportunities that accelerate credibility. Krystal breaks down what makes support truly accessible for small business owners, why many marketplaces exclude early-stage founders, and how to design resources and pricing that don’t punish women for starting where they are.
The heart of the conversation is mindset and modelling. We talk frankly about mum guilt, the cost of trying to keep every ball in the air, and why choosing yourself isn’t selfish, it’s a lesson your kids will carry for life. You’ll hear simple practices for asking for help before burnout, carving out ten minutes to refill your cup, and letting go of the “super-parent” badge so you can focus on what matters. If you don’t have family support, Krystal shares concrete ways to find or build the room where support exists, from free communities to strategic investments that pay compounding dividends.
If you’re craving community, clarity and the courage to be visible, this conversation gives you tools and proof you don’t have to wait for permission.
