Episode #51: "Creativity Saved my Life" with Chiara Bello, Italian artist & jewelry maker, entrepreneur & mother

Today on the podcast we meet Chiara Bello, an Italian jewelry maker and artist, entrepreneur, mother and artist. A ray of sunshine, a creative maven, and honest sparring partner, we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. Acquainted through my cousin who lives and works in northern Italy, Chiara quickly submitted her art, "My PJ Lifestyle," a whimsical family portrait of her family doing something she loves, relaxing and enjoying pyjama time. She talks about the need to blend and flex between all the roles and personas we have, the need to bring work and family time together. Chiara shares her professional journey, living abroad in the UK and Switzerland and the differences in culture and approach to gender roles. Now back in Italy, Chiara is the owner and creative genius between Chic Pig, her renowned jewelry business (you must check out Chiara's creations using the link below), working to integrate motherhood and entrepreneurship as best she can. We are so grateful to feature Chiara's art online and in our 2025 calendar. And we cannot wait to meet Chiara (fingers crossed) at our upcoming gallery exhibit in Sweden, May 2025. Thank you, Chiara!Check out Chic Pig --> https://chicpig.com/
