When it comes to entertaining families, Dana Gordon’s family has personality to boot! Between her meat loving father and adorable girls, Dana’s Instagram account has become a pinnacle for positive and real vibes.
But it doesn’t stop there, Dana Gordon is the Founder & Jewelry Designer of Dana Rebecca Designs. Known for its handcrafted, luxurious and sophisticated design, Dana Rebecca Designs namesake collection, launched in 2007, is a reflection of third generation jewelry designer Dana Gordon's personal style, world travels and the special women in her life.
In this episode, we talk about her two girls and amazing family, how Covid has allowed her to spend more time with her parents, sharing more of her personal life on social media, her reaction to being chosen as one of Oprah’s favorite things and seeing her designs on people. We also chat about the unrealistic concepts of success portrayed on social media and how she is raising her girls.
“I want my girls to see what hard work looks like….I think it’s important for them to see stress, I think it’s important for them to see celebration, I think it’s important for them to see long hours and sometimes having to miss things. I think that’s all part of my journey of being an entrepreneur.”- Dana [28:45]
