Revenue is vanity. Profit is oxygen. And if your business is booked but you’re still stressed, still scrambling, still wondering where the money went… you’re not “bad at business.” You’ve got a leak.

In this Season 1 finale of Curated & Crafted, Dom + Kinsey run a rapid-fire Profit Leak Audit for experience-based businesses — event planners, beverage teams, hospitality, creatives, and high-touch service founders who keep saying yes… then pay for it later.

In this episode, we break down:

• The real difference between hard costs vs soft costs
• Why “quick favors” quietly destroy margin (and team morale)
• How revisions + rework become unpaid labor
• The hidden killer: last-minute changes (and how to price/protect against them)
• Mental scope creep: when you become mediator/therapist instead of operator
• Funding convenience + waste: fronting costs, emergency runs, inventory bleed
• What to change immediately: change orders, buffers, deadlines, approvals

Your challenge:

Audit one recent job. Track the hours. Track the changes. Track the “just real quick” moments. Then plug ONE leak this week.

Send this to a founder friend who’s always busy and never relaxed.

Collabs can build your brand—or bleed your margins while you smile through it.

In Episode 19 of Curated & Crafted, Dom + Kinsey unpack the difference between trade, sponsorship, and partnership, why “great exposure” is usually a trap when it’s vague, and how to structure collaboration agreements that protect your profit, time, and peace.

Inside this episode:

• A clear breakdown of trade vs sponsorship vs partnership
• The truth about hard costs: if you’re paying them, it’s not a trade
• 5 red flags you’re walking into a bad deal
• The hidden cost buckets founders forget: labor, logistics, overhead, opportunity cost
• The 3-question filter before you say yes: profit (or cost-neutral), pipeline, positioning
• What to put in writing so people actually follow through (deliverables, placements, timelines, cancellations)

If you’ve ever agreed to a collab and later thought, “Wait… what did I actually get?” — this one’s for you.

Your 20s will humble you — but they’ll also hand you the blueprint.

In Episode 18 of Curated & Crafted, we go back to the decade that built us — the messy, magical, and sometimes miserable years that forced us to grow before we were ready. From rushing milestones to mistaking control for peace, we’re unpacking the real lessons our 20s gave us (and what we’d do differently if we could).

Dom shares her story of becoming a young mom, building from scratch, and redefining success beyond survival. Kinsey talks about the quiet chaos of performing “I’m fine,” chasing achievement, and learning to heal without hiding.

If you’ve ever felt behind, burned out, or like your life didn’t follow the timeline — this conversation is your permission slip to start again, stronger.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why the milestone checklist doesn’t equal happiness
✨ What “control” really costs you
✨ How to stop rushing your healing
✨ Why failure in your 20s is actually your foundation
✨ What we’d tell our 20-year-old selves (and what we still need to hear)

New episodes drop every Thursday.
Follow Curated & Crafted for honest conversations on growth, entrepreneurship, and the art of building a life that actually feels like yours.

Episode 17 — Things We’re No Longer Apologizing For

How often do you apologize for things you were never wrong for?

In this episode of Curated & Crafted, Dom and Kinsey have an honest, grounded conversation about the things they are no longer shrinking, softening, or saying sorry for — their voices, their growth, their faith, and the space they take up.

This episode explores:

• Why apologizing for “keeping the peace” can actually cost you your identity
• What it means to protect your peace without hiding
• How fear of people keeps us small — and faith sets us free
• Using your voice even while you’re still learning
• Letting go of loyalty to old versions of yourself
• Scripture-backed truth about confidence, obedience, and calling

This is a conversation for women who are done playing small, done over-explaining, and ready to walk boldly in who God designed them to be — without apology.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between being “nice” and being obedient… this one’s for you.

🎧 Curated & Crafted is a podcast for founders, creatives, and leaders navigating growth, faith, identity, and the messy middle of becoming.

Big wins hit different when you work in events, entrepreneurship, or any creative field. One minute you’re riding the adrenaline of a launch or a massive event… the next, your body is buzzing, your brain is silent, and you feel weirdly empty instead of celebratory.

In this short, powerful episode, Dominique & Kinsey crack open the emotional side of success — the part no one prepares you for:

• The unexpected “post-win crash” and why it feels like an emotional hangover
• Why your soul sometimes needs extra time to catch up to your accomplishments
• Real rituals that help you reenter life without spiraling into the next project
• Learning to celebrate instead of sprinting straight into “what’s next”
• The quiet, lonely in-between moments that every high-performer tries to avoid

If you’ve ever hit a goal and immediately felt exhausted, flat, or overwhelmed — you’re not broken. You’re human, you’re wired for big things, and you’re learning the rhythm of recovery.

A tender, validating listen for anyone who builds, creates, leads, or pours themselves into their work.

This episode is a mirror — not the flattering kind, but the honest one.
The version of you that held this year together? She was strong. She was necessary. She got you here.

But she is not the woman meant to lead your next season.

In this vulnerable December conversation, Dom & Kinsey unpack the identity shift that happens when the adrenaline stops and life finally gets quiet. This is the moment you realize how much you’ve been carrying… and how much you’ve been avoiding.

We get real about:
• the identity you built to survive this year
• burnout disguised as discipline
• the emotional backlog that hits when you slow down
• what your body has been trying to tell you
• grief showing up during the holidays
• why “being strong” becomes its own trap
• choosing what’s actually yours to hold
• rebuilding the version of you meant for 2026

This isn’t about resolutions.
This is about release.
This is about becoming a woman who leads from alignment — not exhaustion.

If you’re feeling the December crash, the heaviness, the clarity, or the ache… this episode is your permission to let go of who you had to be, so you can finally become who you’re meant to be next.

Why do the holidays feel heavy… even when you're surrounded by people?
Why does the season that’s “supposed to be joyful” bring up exhaustion, comparison, grief, and pressure — especially for women building businesses, managing homes, and holding everyone else together?

In this episode, we go deep into the quiet parts of the holiday season — the parts no one admits out loud.
We talk about:
• Feeling lonely in a crowded room
• Carrying the invisible weight of holiday expectations
• Entrepreneurship during Q4 pressure
• Traditions that don’t fit anymore
• Faith, stillness, and the “refining fire” seasons
• Letting yourself evolve without guilt
• Redefining connection, joy & presence
• How to ask for help (and why it matters)
• The illusion of perfection on social media
• Sitting in your loneliness instead of running from it
• What peace actually looks like as a woman right now
• And how to hold gratitude + grief at the same time

This is the episode you listen to when:
You’re overwhelmed… but pretending you’re fine.
You love the holidays… but also dread them.
You’re trying to do it all… and losing yourself in the doing.
You’re craving a reminder that you’re not the only one who feels this way.

Grab a coffee, take a breath, and sit with us in the truth of it — the messy, beautiful, bittersweet middle.
Because the holidays don’t need to look perfect to be meaningful.

✨ “The process is messy. The vision is worth it. Stay rooted. Stay steady.”

P.S. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
