In this emotional and inspiring episode, Theresa Bruno recounts her extraordinary journey from Juilliard-trained concert pianist to award-winning creative director and founder of a multi-million-dollar fine jewelry brand. After a career-ending injury, she pivoted into advertising, secured major clients like Regions Bank, and later launched a jewelry business that caught the attention of The New York Times and even First Lady Michelle Obama.

Bruno shares the highs of building a seven-figure brand and the devastating lows of fraud, business collapse, and the tragic loss of her husband. Her story is a masterclass in reinvention and resilience — with powerful insights into grief, identity shifts, and how creativity can be a lifeline through life’s darkest chapters.

She now channels her purpose into the Soul Talks podcast, her book He's Not Coming Back, and new AI video projects that blend storytelling with emotional healing.

Notable Takeaways:

  • Why Juilliard prepared her for both artistic and business risk-taking.
  • How offering to work for free helped her pivot industries successfully.
  • The hidden financial realities of luxury product businesses.
  • Strategies for rebuilding identity and business after deep personal loss.
  • How AI is transforming emotional storytelling in her latest projects.
