  • 17: & That's a Wrap on Season 1: Five Life Lessons I Learned From My Guests, Travel, & Pursuing Creativity

    When life gives you a clean slate, it's up to you to decide how to use it–do you let it bring you down, or turn it into your best adventure yet? Anniversarying when I first began working on The Curated, it felt like the perfect opportunity to reflect back on the life lessons, "woo woo spiritual" stories, and vulnerability of pursuing a passion throughout the last year. The biggest learning? People are our best and brightest teachers. In this episode, I share the 5 most prominent life lessons I learned from connecting with guests around the globe to produce the podcast.


    Plus, stay tuned for very special travel episodes that will be out soon. In the meantime, I'm kicking off spring break and will be back with season 2 in the coming months! Thank you to everyone (guests and listeners alike) who's been a part of The Curated!

  • 16: Brittney & Mia Rothweiler, Co-Founders of The Range: Developing a Brand with Your Sister, Curating the Perfect Wardrobe & Embracing a Bicoastal Lifestyle

    Brittney and Mia Rothweiler join host Kendall Becker to discuss their brand The Range (which you can shop at your favorite retailers like Revolve, Intermix & Net-a-Porter). Before launching their own label, the sisters worked within the fashion industry and called upon their insider knowledge to curate a brand that's quite frankly the perfect blend of timeless and on trend. In this episode, we discuss what it's like working with family, the vulnerability of entrepreneurship, staying true to your brand ethos and personal values, and what it's like living a bicoastal lifestyle between New York City and Joshua Tree in California.

  • 15: Andraya Kenton, Founder & Creative Director of Celeste Starre: Working & Living in Bali, Embracing All Sides of Yourself, & Seeking Inspiration

    In Bali, host Kendall Becker met with Andraya Kenton, founder and creative director of Celeste Starre (worn by Blake Lively, Bella Hadid, & Rihanna, just to name a few), to discuss the path of entrepreneurship, embracing all sides of yourself (the one that wears all black and drinks martinis in London & the other who loves "woo woo spirituality" and nature–you can really have it all), and the process of seeking inspiration while developing an ethical approach to design. Warning: you may get jealous of the Bali spa treatments and insanely good (and affordable) cuisine.

  • 13: This is When Wellness Turns Toxic–And How to (Attempt) to Turn it Around

    Between nonstop Ozempic conversation, "heroin chic" runways, and the return of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (I mean, talk about a trifecta of triggers), our relationships with health and wellness are undeniably being put to the test right now–and I have a few thoughts and feelings about it. In this episode, I get candid about my personal relationship with mindset and body image, what's going on in the media around these conversation right now, and the tools I'm using to heal that will hopefully be helpful for you, too. Hint: kindness with yourself never fails.
