Episode #132 with Jewelry Designer Christina Greene McAllen This week on Living the Authentic Life, we sit down with Christina Greene McAllen, the powerhouse behind Christina Greene Jewelry—the brand known for its stunning turquoise and gold designs that blend Western charm with timeless elegance.
Christina shares how her jewelry journey began in thrift stores and craft projects as a young girl, eventually leading her to Parsons School of Design in NYC and back home to Houston, where she turned her passion into a thriving business. From the long hours hustling at markets and trade shows, she takes us through the grit, glamour, and behind-the-scenes magic of bringing her designs to life.
We also chat about:
💙 The design process—from selecting stones to choosing manufacturers

🏡 The balancing act of running a business while raising a family
🗓 Why Google Calendar is her secret weapon
👢 The romantic backstory behind her custom cowboy boots (spoiler: it involves a proposal!)
⛷ Her love of après-ski and the mountain lifestyle
🏔 How COVID unexpectedly boosted her business in Colorado & Wyoming Plus, we dive into why community matters, the importance of giving back as a business owner, and how Christina is expanding beyond jewelry into hat bands, scarves, and more.
