Curated and Crafted Podcast
Curated & Crafted is a podcast for founders, creatives, and experience-makers who are building brands with substance. Hosted by Dominique & Kinsey, two women navigating leadership in the luxury event and beverage space, this show explores the real work behind unforgettable businesses—without the fluff, the filters, or the formula.
Each episode is a conversation at the intersection of brand, mindset, and execution. We talk about what it means to lead with intention, stay rooted while scaling, and keep showing up when the vision feels heavy.
You’ll hear unfiltered insights on visibility, burnout, systems, boundaries, creative sustainability, and the nuances of building something that lasts. We also sit down with other brand builders, beverage innovators, event pros, and thought leaders who are crafting their businesses—and their lives—with clarity and soul.
This isn’t just about business. It’s about becoming.
So grab your drink, get inspired, and let’s craft something worth remembering.

The Loneliness of the Holidays (Even When You’re Not Alone)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do the holidays feel heavy… even when you're surrounded by people?
Why does the season that’s “supposed to be joyful” bring up exhaustion, comparison, grief, and pressure — especially for women building businesses, managing homes, and holding everyone else together?
In this episode, we go deep into the quiet parts of the holiday season — the parts no one admits out loud.
We talk about:
• Feeling lonely in a crowded room
• Carrying the invisible weight of holiday expectations
• Entrepreneurship during Q4 pressure
• Traditions that don’t fit anymore
• Faith, stillness, and the “refining fire” seasons
• Letting yourself evolve without guilt
• Redefining connection, joy & presence
• How to ask for help (and why it matters)
• The illusion of perfection on social media
• Sitting in your loneliness instead of running from it
• What peace actually looks like as a woman right now
• And how to hold gratitude + grief at the same time
This is the episode you listen to when:
You’re overwhelmed… but pretending you’re fine.
You love the holidays… but also dread them.
You’re trying to do it all… and losing yourself in the doing.
You’re craving a reminder that you’re not the only one who feels this way.
Grab a coffee, take a breath, and sit with us in the truth of it — the messy, beautiful, bittersweet middle.
Because the holidays don’t need to look perfect to be meaningful.
✨ “The process is messy. The vision is worth it. Stay rooted. Stay steady.”
P.S. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
