From Breaking News to Brilliant Gold: How I Found My Voice Through Jewelry Design

The First Chapter: Journalism and Inner Strength
My journey began long before the launch of ThoSay and its signature Dream Collection. I started as a journalist—young, eager, passionate. The newsroom taught me how to meet impossible deadlines, how to stay calm when the world was spinning, and how to speak clearly, even when the stories were heavy. It shaped me into a professional. But more than that, journalism taught me when to let go. It gave me the courage to say: this chapter has ended.

That Strange In-Between Space
Walking away from journalism wasn’t easy. For a while, I felt like I had lost my identity. Who was I without the mic, the byline, the breaking news ticker? I was stuck in that quiet, uncertain space we all land in when a big part of our lives ends. But now I know that space isn’t empty—it’s sacred. It’s where new dreams begin.

Remembering What Was Always There
In that silence, I started to hear another voice. Not the one trained to report the news, but the one whispering from somewhere deeper. I remembered who I was before job titles and expectations. And I started to ask myself what truly moved me. The answer came from a small gold ring I had bought years ago—my very first meaningful piece of jewelry. It wasn’t about status. It was a personal promise. A symbol that I could trust myself and follow my dreams.

The Dream Collection Was Born
Years later, during the stillness of the pandemic, that voice got louder. With a background in psychology, I had been creating content to help others navigate fear and uncertainty—but I knew words alone weren’t enough. I needed to create something people could wear, hold, feel—a daily reminder that beauty, strength, and intention live within us. That’s how ThoSay began. Our first launch, The Dream Collection, was inspired by love, resilience, and nature’s quiet wisdom. Crafted in 14K gold and diamonds, each piece is designed to help you remember who you are—even when the world forgets.

What Journalism Taught Me About Jewelry
At first glance, it seems like a leap—from breaking news to fine jewelry design. But the truth is, both careers are about storytelling. In journalism, I told stories that informed. Now, I create pieces that hold personal stories—yours and mine. Jewelry isn’t just decoration. It’s a time capsule, a love letter, a silent vow you wear close to your skin.

The Bridge Between Then and Now
My transition didn’t happen overnight. It took 15 years, dozens of jobs, and countless lessons in business, branding, and life. Every so-called detour added something essential to the mix. Looking back, I see how every experience was laying a brick on the bridge that led me here. I didn’t build that bridge in one leap—it built itself, moment by moment.

Your Path Doesn’t Have to Be Straight
Here’s what I’ve learned: Your journey doesn’t have to be linear to be meaningful. If you’re in your own “in-between” moment right now, wondering whether the pieces will ever fit together—trust that they will. Every experience, every pause, every side step is preparing you for something important.

When It All Comes Together
For me, that moment came when I held the first piece of ThoSay jewelry in my hand. Suddenly, everything made sense—the storytelling, the resilience, the business lessons, the longing to make something that matters. That little gold pendant wasn’t just beautiful. It was the end of one journey and the beginning of another.

From Storytelling to Story-Carrying
Now, with each piece of fine jewelry we create—whether it's a delicate necklace from The Dream Collection, a personalized pendant from Love Language, or a bold statement from our Power ON collections—I’m still telling stories. Only now, the story is yours. And the gold? That’s just the canvas.

So, what story is your life trying to tell you? What dream are you quietly building, one experience at a time?
