Furlough and redundancy can lead to something good

Laura Konst of Tali & Loz guests on today’s podcast.   

So, where does that name come from??  And where does Laura (or Loz) come from?  Well. The world of retail wasn’t great in March 2020, so she got furloughed, and then her role was made redundant.

For some, that would be seen as a disaster, especially when her divorce was also thrown into the mix, but Loz saw it as a beautiful time, with her spirituality increased.  That’s something we then explore, leading into what Tali & Loz does for a living, selling crystals, as well as candles decorated with crystals.

We do talk about the scepticism of some about the healing qualities of crystals, and I am my usual challenging self for this part of the conversation, which Loz handles well.

So – how did Tali & Loz go from “this might be interesting” to a real live business.  Listen in to find out about all the training she did, all the things she bought, and where she went from there.

If you’re interested in the meteorite we talked about, you can see it at https://www.taliandloz.com/products/moldavite?variant=39613680910490 (assuming the laws of supply and demand mean it’s still available!).

We also talk about whether those whose jobs are being made redundant should consider setting up their own business.
