Unexpected lessons. Rare jewels. Big conversations. Exactly what I needed today.
So thankful I rolled out of bed and made it to WATT this morning.
What an energizing way to start the day.
We heard from our talented jeweler, Roya Athanasopolous, who shared stories from her early days in jewelry stores and how those experiences shaped her leadership and management style.
And the best part?
Her story about the Paraiba Tourmaline — a stunning gem I had never heard of! The jewel was fascinating, but the conversation it sparked about expertise, humility, and working under less-knowledgeable leadership was even better. We learned, laughed, and picked up a few rare-jewel facts along the way.
Then Dr. Julie Hinman joined us as our Biz Buzz and shared powerful updates about the removal of the FDA’s black box warning on estrogen products — and why it matters for women’s health.
Key takeaways:
• Lower risk of heart attacks after menopause
• 60% reduction in dementia risk
Such important information for all of us.
I’m so glad I went — filled my cup and walked away grateful for this community.
Had you ever heard of Paraiba Tourmaline? And did the estrogen update surprise you?
Let’s start a conversation.
