About this listen

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.

    🎙️ Episode 9 — Designing the Client Journey: From Hello to Raving Fan

    Welcome back to Curated & Crafted — where luxury meets intention and business meets soul.

    In this episode, Dom and Kinsey break down the real client experience — from the first “hello” to the moment they become lifelong fans. Whether you’re in weddings, events, or the luxury service space, this conversation dives deep into how to create connection, trust, and retention through every touchpoint.

    We talk about:
    ✨ Turning one-time clients into repeat advocates
    ✨ Why luxury brands often miss the mark at first impression
    ✨ Building systems that nurture your clients after the event
    ✨ The emotional side of the journey — the goodbyes, the follow-ups, and the relationships that last

    From wedding proposals to high-end brand activations, Dom and Kinsey share what it really takes to design a journey that keeps clients coming back — and talking about you long after the event is over.

    Listen if:
    You’re a creative, planner, or service-based founder who wants to turn great service into an unforgettable client experience — one that scales with heart.

    Episode 8 | The Unsexy Stuff That Scales — Systems, Discipline & Freedom in Business

    Behind every “effortless” brand is a pile of unsexy work. In this episode, Dominique & Kinsey get real about the backbone of sustainable success — the workflows, systems, and discipline that make scaling possible (and give you your freedom back).

    If you’ve ever wondered how to balance creativity with structure, or how to stop feeling chained to your business — this one’s your permission slip to fall in love with the boring stuff.

    We talk about:

    Why workflows are the foundation of creativity, not the enemy of it

    The one system every founder needs before scaling

    How discipline creates actual freedom — in business and life

    The tool that tripled our output (and why we’re obsessed with it)

    How to know when it’s a “system issue” vs a “people issue”

    Our personal confessions on where we still need more discipline

    Big takeaway: The sexy results come from the unsexy work.
