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.

Collabs can build your brand—or bleed your margins while you smile through it.

Your 20s will humble you — but they’ll also hand you the blueprint.
In Episode 18 of Curated & Crafted, we go back to the decade that built us — the messy, magical, and sometimes miserable years that forced us to grow before we were ready. From rushing milestones to mistaking control for peace, we’re unpacking the real lessons our 20s gave us (and what we’d do differently if we could).

Episode 17 — Things We’re No Longer Apologizing For
How often do you apologize for things you were never wrong for?

This episode explores:

- The unexpected “po...
This episode is a mirror — not the flattering kind, but the honest one.
The version of you that held this year together? She was strong. She was necessary. She got you here.
But she is not the woman meant to lead your next season.

We talk about:

There’s power in the tables we sit at — and the ones we choose to build ourselves. In this episode, Dominique and Kinsey unpack what it really means to curate your circle: who pours into you, who drains you, and how to protect your energy while growing into the rooms you once dreamed of being in.
