What I’d Tell My Postpartum Self: Lessons on Business, Identity & Letting Go with Fabienne Costa

I am so excited to share this empowering episode of Behind the Fold with you! Today, I’m joined by someone who was on my dream guest list—Fabienne Costa. She’s the founder and designer of YCL Jewels and co-founder of SRLA, a self-taught entrepreneur who built a global brand at the age of 21. But more than that, she’s a woman of deep integrity and intention. This conversation is one of my favourites, we cover so much about motherhood, creativity, identity, and the invisible threads that connect it all. Keep listening to hear about: 

• 03:09 - How Fabienne built YCL Jewels from her bedroom into a multi-million dollar global brand with no prior experience.
• 08:23 - Why Fabienne never planned to become a mother, and how her IVF journey completely transformed her.
• 19:08 - The unexpected emotional toll of postpartum identity loss and what Fabienne wishes she could tell her past self.
• 31:08 - How Fabienne navigates the seasons of her life and stays grounded and present as a parent.
• 39:35 - The power of daily rituals, intentional living, and self compassion to manifest a dream life that feels aligned.
