Key Takeaways from This Episode: How jewelry and accessories and positively impact our mood How jewelry can boost confidence A look into being bold A look into the brand Mignonne Gavigan An inside look at being a Founder How to support your well-being as a Founder Kristel was gifted a pair of Blush Madeline earrings which she was wearing during the interview. About Mignonne Gavigan At Mignonne Gavigan, accessories are the perfect finishing touch. We believe jewelry improves our overall mood. We love the carefree experience of layering and truly believe more is more. We also love the moment of wearing one treasure that lifts your spirit and brings joy.  Our philosophy is that sophistication and playfulness can coexist. We aim to thoughtfully design one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story of handmade craftsmanship and faraway travels. Our approach stems from Maggie’s love of art, nature, architecture and textiles bringing all together in jewelry. We believe what you wear should bring you joy, maybe even encourage you to take a few risks. With partners in India and Asia, we create modern designs informed by 100-year-old heritage techniques. Signature styles include the scarf necklace, decadent statement earrings, dreamy intricately detailed brooches, and bracelets.  Mignonne Gavigan launched in 2014. It was a bit spontaneous. Mignonne, "Maggie", was experimenting with a beaded couture vintage gown and an embellished piece of fabric fell to the floor. She picked it up and fastened it around her neck because she thought it was a cool scarf vibe. On her walk home through Soho a handful of compliments and questions on where she had gotten her necklace came about and the first Mignonne Gavigan design idea was born. She always knew she wanted to create a brand, a community and a workplace that were all built on kindness and happiness. Maggie launched Mignonne Gavigan jewelry in hopes that each piece would bring joy and happiness to the wearer. Ultimately what she’s discovered is that women develop a significant amount of confidence when wearing an MG piece. That is so important to the MG team- that we are building a community of confident and joy-filled women.

In this Live Greatly Podcast episode Kristel Bauer sits down with Olympian Gail Devers and "The Real MVP" Wanda Durant to talk about mindset, resiliency and being your own biggest advocate.  Gail and Wanda share their journeys and struggles dealing with the health condition Graves disease as well as a look into Thyroid Eye Disease also known as T-E-D. They share insights into supporting your health and well-being while going after your goals as well as how to keep an empowering mindset while dealing with criticism. Gail gives an inside look at her journey as an Olympian and Wanda shares a look into being the mother of NBA Champion and MVP player Kevin Durant.  Tune in now! Key Takeaways from This Episode: How to prioritize your well-being while doing after your goals Importance of taking time for yourself Gail’s health struggle as an elite athlete Gail and Wanda's experience with Graves Disease and symptoms of Thyroid Eye Disease (T-E-D) Insights to deal with challenges in life A story from Gail’s olympic experience falling down during the hurdles Gail and Wanda'a perspectives on success A look into goal setting How to navigate positive and negative feedback How Wanda and Gail handle criticism How Wanda has handled negative feedback with her son Kevin Durant’s basketball journey The mentality of successful people About Gail Devers Gail Devers is a five-time Olympian, nine-time World Champion and three-time Olympic gold medalist in track and field who was one of the fastest women alive for almost two decades. Amid this unprecedented feat, Gail has also been living with Graves’ disease and symptoms of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) for more than 30 years. After a harrowing two-and-a-half-year quest for answers about her health, Gail was diagnosed with Graves’ disease in 1990, just two years before winning her first Olympic gold medal. Her journey back to the track was nothing short of spectacular, especially after overcoming near career-ending symptoms, including extreme weight loss, fatigue, and insomnia. Gail also experienced symptoms of TED including eye pain, dryness, irritation and bulging eyes. In a decorated 25-year track career that followed, Gail has been recognized as an American sporting icon. By winning back-to-back 100m Olympic gold medals, and three World Championships in 100m hurdles, Gail cemented herself as one of the most dominant female sprinters of our time. She has since been inducted into both the National Track and Field and the United States Olympic Halls of Fame. Today, Gail enjoys volunteering and giving back to the community through organizations that include The Boys and Girls Clubs of America and the Atlanta Track Club. She also coaches hurdles for her daughter’s high school track team, mentors world-class athletes, and loves spending time with her family, two dogs and their rabbit.  About Wanda Durant Wanda Durant, affectionately known as “Mama Durant” and “The Real MVP,” is a leader, entrepreneur, philanthropist and patient advocate, who has been living with Graves’ disease for 17 years. She is a mother of two sons: NBA Champion and MVP player, Kevin Durant, and businessman Anthony (Tony) Durant. As president and CEO of motivation platform “Hope, Dream, Believe, Achieve” (HDBA, LLC) Wanda shares her blueprint for parenting that she used to help her children become successful adults. One of her mantras is “where there is hope, there are possibilities.” Her passion is to inspire underserved children, single mothers, families, and communities to move beyond their immediate circumstances and to aim for higher heights in life.
