04. Gems and Madison Snider Podpirka of Fewer Finer

This week, Nan and Maddie sit down with their brilliant and stylish friend Madison Snider Podpirka—founder of the cult-favorite Brooklyn-based jewelry brand Fewer Finer. ✨

We chat about the real behind-the-scenes of building a business: hiring a team, staying true to your brand, and how an abundance mindset can shift everything. Madison also shares the evolution of her work (and herself), what it takes to design truly personal jewelry, and how her approach has changed with motherhood.

Plus, we get into everyday stuff—health routines, business dreams, mom life, and of course, the latest things she’s loving (and buying).
