As Told by Zink

Sat down with my client content creator and creative agency owner Taylor Krause! We chat about outgrowing places, moving to Europe, all things social media and representing different body types through realistic content. 

We also touch on Taylor starting her creative agency Nue Studios and what she has planned! I loved hearing about how she works with brands on the creator side but also the creative studio side. Taylor has a passion for creating engaging content and it's so awesome to see her doing what she loves and making careers out of it!

This year has brought me many lessons, but one that stands out the most is finding peace with change. Whether that be with my agency, friendships or even saying goodbye to my younger more spontaneous years! Felt like speaking to this and how I have been coming to terms with the fact that my life will always look a little different - and that's okay! I know we all desire familiarity, but perhaps all of this change is just welcoming space for a better life x

Had the opportunity to sit down with Olivia Sabine - a creator and the Co Founder of Socially Ambitious, a course and job connecting service for aspiring Influencer assistants. Socially Ambitious is one of the coolest industry business ideas I've come across! I geek out over female founders - especially those who find gaps in the market + go for it! Olivia and I chat about the business and why Influencer assistants are so important in this chaotic and ever changing world of social media! We also discuss honoring different seasons of life - even the quieter ones as well as  the evolution of businesses and how they inevitably look different each year.

Loved this raw and honest conversation with Olivia who is extremely relatable. You'll feel either inspired to want to start a business, or honor that you need to lean into a more quiet season to reset and be present x

I've been taking classes at Burn Brentwood for the past year now and can honestly say that it is one of the only popular workouts that has changed my body - and quickly! LA has so many workouts and studios popping up that it really takes a strong studio to make it - we are talking the workout, the results, the vibes, instructors, ambiance, the addiction - truly the whole package!

Maria Chase took her Hawaii based [heated, red infrared light full body workout] studio and opened its doors in LA quickly becoming one of the most popular workouts here! This is also a top studio for models, influencers, founders, brands, celebrities, etc. Adriana Lima used Burn as one of her tools to prepare for the Victoria Secret fashion show this year! When I tell you it is THAT good, it is THAT good. 

Loved having the opportunity to sit down and speak with Burn's founder Maria to talk about it all! We cover everything from what the workout is and why it works so well, the science behind it, Maria's purpose, organic growth / popularity, and building community to expansion and how Maria's strong and supportive team helped make the studio what it is today. Let's get into it!

Loved this conversation with my client content creator Pearl Johnson. It’s packed full of life lessons and so much value! We even get to hear about Pearl’s beautiful love story (I’m a sucker for serendipitous love)! Pearl is a planner through and through who had to embrace change when she found out she was pregnant with her first child only months after she started dating her now husband. Big takeaways from this story!
