Kimble takes us inside the controlled chaos of building a new home from scratch — in a new city, with a new person, and a lot less square footage than she started with. From midnight sketches on graph paper to a chance encounter at a Greek restaurant, what started as a nesting project turned into a full community. This is what reckless optimism looks like when it gets buried in boxes.

In This Episode

• Kimble unpacks the real cost of reckless optimism — literally — as two households collide into 1,200 fewer square feet in a brand new city
• A 3 AM graph paper sketch kicks off a bedroom build 
• A solo drive, a Greek restaurant called Chris', and a stranger's "Welcome home" set off a chain of coincidences that connects Kimble to her entire design team
• The baby blue 12x12 room that became the podcast studio you're watching from right now

What happens when your last night in Nashville is sober, intentional, and somehow more memorable than any night before it?

Two longtime friends — dressed in couture, not cowboy boots — climb into a silver convertible and set out for a mocktail tour of Nashville's best bars. From the spicy-sweet Prairie Flower at Otto's, to the replacement spirits at Mother's Ruin, to the transcendent Kimbeltini crafted just for her at Husk — this is Kimble's farewell to the city she called home, two days before hitting the road to her next chapter.

This is the bonus content episode that goes deeper into Last Nash — more details, more space, more story.

In This Episode

• Otto's — a converted warehouse, a black cat mural, and the first mocktails of the night
• Mother's Ruin — non-alcoholic spirits that taste like the real deal
• Husk — oysters, Southern vegetables, the Free Spirit, and a Kimbeltini made just for her
• A silver convertible, a rising moon, and the perfect Nashville finale

Place has always been everything to Kimble — until it wasn't. In Episode 2, she shares the story of leaving Nashville after 25 years: the house she and Boz never got to renovate, the two-year punch list that followed, and the Last Nash Tour she threw herself to close that chapter.

Plus: what reckless optimism actually means — and why she refuses to stop practicing it.

In this episode:

• The Nashville home Kimble and Boz never got to renovate — and why it was time to go
• Two years of clearing, fixing, and making the space fabulous — and why fabulous still wasn't enough
• The Last Nash Tour: a deliberate send-off of 25 years in Music City

What exactly is Kimble-ing?

In this first episode, Kimble shares the story behind the word that eventually became a way of life — and now, a podcast.

What started as a nickname for her habit of curating spontaneous adventures with friends slowly evolved into something bigger: a philosophy about living intentionally, embracing curiosity, and finding joy in the small, everyday moments that make a life meaningful. 

But the journey to Kimble-ing didn’t happen overnight.

Kimble reflects on the experiences that shaped her perspective - from building businesses with her husband during the 2008 recession, to navigating unexpected loss, and ultimately beginning a new chapter of life in coastal North Carolina.

Along the way, she shares why the little things matter more than we realize — and why curating moments of joy, curiosity, and connection can transform how we live.

Kimble-ing isn’t about luxury or excess.
It’s about presence, play, and the pursuit of everyday magic. 

And this is just the beginning.

In this episode:

• The story behind how Kimble-ing became a verb
• Why intentional experiences matter more than expensive ones
• How loss, change, and reinvention shaped the Kimble-ing philosophy
• Moving from Nashville to Wilmington and starting a new chapter
• What listeners can expect from future Kimble-ing adventures
