Hello Beauties!

I feel like I haven’t been showing up here too much. As our business has grown and therefore our followers, I have felt a little intimidated to be honest. I thrive on connection, but with connection comes vulnerability. And I guess that can be a scary emotion sometimes. I wonder if what I’m delivering here is of any interest and I question should I just be showing jewellery? That is our business of course.

But also our product is deeply rooted in making meaning. Like, making your meaning a tangible thing - a beautiful tangible thing. Then that comes full circle too. I don’t just want to show jewellery, but I want to be here for the meaning and the connection too. I’m not a jewellery salesperson and that’s not what I wanted to be. KBN is me. There’s very little separation and I’m a very genuine person. But then I don’t know if Instagram really cares about that. And so, I'm back to in the circle of thought that never ends. 😂🫠

What I have always known though is that I want to share with people. I love talking, conversations. I truly think it solves most problems. I love being vulnerable in a place where I feel that people want that and are expecting that. Where people go for the openness and vulnerability. We thought a lot about how to do this and to be honest the answer seemed somewhat obvious. So we started a podcast.

I guess it’s like a side passion project that I’m doing with Asha, (my bestie and also my work wife). I’m hoping to sort of marry the 2 together I guess. I feel like both things represent our core beliefs. We love to love and LOVE to laugh. My hope is that by us opening up and chatting, sometimes super silly conversations, that we help our community feel more seen and normal, like they can be their full, imperfect selves. I have no idea how it will go. I know I’ve found listening back to our chats fun and lighthearted. I hope you’ll give us a listen and I hope we can be friends.
