About this Event

Start the year inspired at NAWBO-OC's first chapter meeting of 2025! Join us for Creating Beauty from Life's Transitions, a motivating session featuring Laura Novak-Roesgen, jewelry artist and owner of Novaura Jewelry.

Laura will share her journey of turning life’s changes into opportunities for creativity and fulfillment. In this interactive session, you’ll learn:
1️⃣ How to find a creative outlet you love.
2️⃣ Why it’s never too late to pursue your passions.
3️⃣ That hobbies don’t have to be side hustles—unless you want them to be!

This meeting is the perfect chance to connect with fellow businesswomen, gain fresh perspectives, and set the tone for a successful and fulfilling 2025. Let’s start the year together by exploring how to turn life’s transitions into opportunities for growth and beauty.

Don’t miss this opportunity to begin the year with purpose and inspiration!
About the speaker:
Born into an entrepreneurial family, Laura Novak-Roesgen grew up immersed in the value of hard work, contributing alongside her parents and sister Linda at their family business, Novak Electronics. With a father who was an engineer and her own natural aptitude for math and science, she pursued an engineering degree at UC Irvine while staying connected to her creative side.

For nearly four decades, the family business thrived. However, life took an unexpected turn when the business closed in 2016. The challenges deepened in 2019 when her beloved sister Linda was diagnosed with stage-4 cancer. During this period of profound transition and grief, Laura found solace in a childhood hobby—jewelry making.

What began as a therapeutic outlet evolved into something much more, giving rise to Novaura Jewelry. Now in her 60s, with the steadfast support of her husband, children, and parents, Laura has embraced this new chapter of her life. She has transformed her passion for creating beautiful jewelry into a thriving business.

Laura's journey is a testament to the healing power of art and a reminder that it is never too late to pursue your dreams. Through Novaura Jewelry, she celebrates life, love, and the extraordinary possibilities that can emerge from life's most challenging moments.
