About

In this episode, Shanna sits down with Meagan Smith, owner of Sookie Sookie Jewelry, to chat about her journey as a creative entrepreneur. Like many of us, Meagan grew up with two competing life philosophies in her head…one advising to follow the safe, secure route and another advising to “follow the gravitational pull of your inner passion”, which is how she found herself unhappily living the first philosophy, questioning her discontent. Knowing there must be more, she declared a new path for herself and DECIDED to “put herself in the energy of what she desired to create her life around”. For her, this meant showcasing her creative wares at a trade show, where customers (like my mom!) took an active interest in what she’d created. This single decision to show up at Fredricksburg Trade Days, began to create a ripple effect that has led to the reality she’s currently living. Today Meagan is well known for expressing her bohemian soul through her art. She creates wearable pieces through her Sookie Sookie hand painted jewelry line and home decor pieces she lovingly refers to as “painting junk”. She’s painted murals including one covering the side of a two story historic building, kitchen cabinets, front doors, storefronts (like Rustic Charm in Sabinal!), guitars, pianos, interior walls, canvases…and many more unique pieces in between. Her soulful art elicits feelings of free-spirited wanderlust with a combination of boho and western roots, making it easily recognizable by those who know her work. Meagan shares her journey along with the outlook on life that’s kept her moving forward, no matter what bumps in the road appeared. She’s the embodiment of “let your passion be bigger than your fears”. So many of us are stopped in our tracks before ever beginning because the fear of failure feels too big. Meagan shrugs and says “What’s the worst that can happen? You get your lights turned off? Who cares? It’s not like you’re going to die.” The bedrock of her belief system is “there’s a way through”, and because of this, she’s always found a way through. So much can be learned from the energy with which Meagan lives her life and makes her decisions from.
