E.123 "I started D.Louise as a tribute to my mum" - Olivia Jenkins and how grieving fuelled her business
This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Olivia Jenkins, the founder of D.Louise, a jewellery brand known for creating beautiful, long-lasting pieces at affordable prices. In this episode, Olivia and I discuss grief and loss—topics we all experience when losing loved ones, yet rarely address as part of our overall health and wellness, even though they play a significant role. Olivia has faced the heartbreaking loss of both her mum and brother, and in this episode, she graciously shares her journey through those dark times, transforming her pain into fuel for her business and her approach to life.
D.Louise is named in honour of Olivia’s mum, and through building the brand, Olivia has found a way to give her mum a lasting legacy.
This is an open, heartfelt conversation about the delicate subject of loss, but it's also incredibly inspiring—a discussion we can all connect with on some level.
