Meet Bella Ehrhart

We were lucky to catch up with Bella Ehrhart recently and have shared our conversation below.

Bella, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

Having faced many ups and downs, I consider myself a resilient person. Life’s challenges have taught me the value of perseverance and inner strength. Rather than letting setbacks hold me back, I use them as fuel to push myself further, often achieving more than I once thought was possible. This mindset has been especially valuable in my business journey, where each obstacle becomes an opportunity to innovate, adapt, and grow. I’ve come to understand that resilience isn’t about avoiding failure but about rising stronger each time I fall. This approach has fueled my professional growth, teaching me to seek solutions and create opportunities where others might see only limitations. Each success and setback has ultimately shaped me into a stronger, more determined person, always ready to face the next challenge with an open mind and a resilient heart.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

For as long as I can remember, jewelry has always been a huge part of my everyday life. This love inspired me to start my own brand! As the founder of Heaven Sentt, I am dedicated to not only designing unique pieces, but also to create quality products accessible to everyone. Starting my own business has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It’s not just about creating, it’s about bringing joy and confidence to my customers. Seeing people resonate with the pieces fuels my motivation to keep going. I’m incredibly grateful to have embarked on this journey, which has taught me resilience, creativity, and the importance of connecting with others.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back, there are three qualities that have been essential to my journey: resilience, creativity, and empathy. Resilience has been crucial, as building a business comes with unexpected challenges and setbacks. Rather than viewing these as failures, I’ve learned to see them as opportunities to grow and adapt, which is something I encourage for anyone starting out. Embracing challenges with an open mind and a willingness to learn can build resilience over time, turning obstacles into valuable lessons. Creativity has also played a significant role, not only in designing products but in problem-solving, marketing, and connecting with my audience in unique ways. For those early in their journey, I’d suggest exploring creative ideas outside the obvious and actively seeking inspiration. Developing the habit of looking for fresh ideas can help keep your brand innovative. Finally, empathy has been vital to understanding and connecting with my customers on a personal level. This connection is what allows me to create pieces that resonate and bring genuine joy to everyone that supports Heaven Sentt.

What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?

As I’ve only had my business for a year now, the area where I’ve grown the most has been in discovering new and effective ways to market my products. When I first started, I had a basic understanding of marketing, but I quickly realized that connecting with customers in a meaningful way would require creativity, experimentation, and a willingness to learn from every experience. Over the past year, I’ve explored various marketing channels—from social media campaigns to email newsletters and collaborations—and have learned about what resonates most with my audience. Each strategy taught me something new about customer engagement, brand visibility, and the importance of authenticity. Though marketing remains a learning journey, it has become one of the most rewarding parts of building my business, helping me connect with customers on a deeper level and fostering a sense of community around my brand.
