Well, I am. 36 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: I just grew up with a mom that made our 37 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: clothing and quilted. She would take over the basement and 38 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: make these amazing quilts, um, and I was just fascinated 39 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: by it, like how she would collect scraps of fabric 40 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: and and then also I was just from a big 41 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: family and so that meant that, Um, I had a 42 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: lot of hand me downs and we shopped at thrift stores, 43 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: and my mom taught me how to thrift and how 44 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: to alter it and how to fix things and um, 45 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: and because like I just was constantly wearing hand me downs, 46 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to make them my own. So I just 47 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: started like modifying things. And I don't know how old 48 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: were you when started doing that.

So, okay, 69 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: so you got into design. You did that, it brought 70 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: you to Nashville sort of right, well, to Nashville. So 71 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: I when I was done with college, I got a 72 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: design degree from my state university because I like, it 73 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: wasn't an option to go to a fancy design school. 74 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: That just like wasn't an option. Um. Yeah, And so 75 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: I paid in state tuition and um worked full time 76 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: the whole time I was five. Yeah. So they were 77 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: like we're at a minute, by the way, Yeah No, 78 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: they totally ended up helping me in the end because 79 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: I'm shitty with money. But they didn't mean to. They 80 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: didn't mean to help me, but I needed to give 81 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: them credit. Yeah. So I got that degree and was like, 82 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: what am I going to do? UM didn't want to 83 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: move to New York because I know that I'm not 84 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: tough enough for that place. It's such a Pollyanna, like 85 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm so like, I'm not even that sensitive. I'm just 86 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: like kind of gullible. Okay, so that would be a 87 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: dangerous place, but oh my gosh, I would fall for anything. 88 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: So um my brother just I mean, the only reason 89 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: I'm a stylist today is because my brother was like, 90 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: I don't know, just move out to l A and 91 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: just like live with me and my friend because I 92 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: didn't know what to do.

He was like I met these 98 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: guys and like, I think it's going to be really cool. 99 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: Um so that worked out, ye, lucky guy, Good job, Burrow. 100 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: So you moved to l A with your brother and 101 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: which is hilarious so funny, and I like job shadowed 102 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: their stylist on their first music video and I didn't 103 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: I cut. I don't know. This was before all these 104 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: dang fashion blogs and before like people knew who Rachel 105 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: z O was and before yeah, before people knew yeah, 106 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: before reality TV even um, there was no project one 107 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: way project one way. Um. Yeah. So I didn't really 108 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: understand what a stylist job was. We didn't really learn 109 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: about it in college. It was like this, It just 110 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: didn't seem like a real job. It was so magical. 111 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: It just sounded so magical, like what. So I remember 112 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: their stylist dropped me off at a costume house in 113 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: l A. Which is basically like the world's greatest thrift store. 114 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: Yeah um, and said okay, I need this, this, this 115 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: is this, and and picked me up five hours later. 116 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: And I had like all this work, you know, and 117 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: I picked out all the word rof and I was 118 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: like this is the best. I was like it loves 119 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 1: so so then I just started assisting like everyone I could. 120 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: I contacted agency in l A and just said like, hey, 121 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: I'm I'm everybody's third assistant. So whenever you know, whenever 122 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: somebody sick, whenever you need an extra set of hands, like, 123 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: it's me. And I knew how to sew, which everybody 124 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: thought was like alterations, which that was my spend. That 125 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: was my selling point because I didn't know how to 126 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: like have an edge, and that was my edge that 127 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: could always get me a gig. But so how did 128 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: you maintain like you started styling, and then when did 129 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: you really get into your own design and wanting to 130 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: have your own brand? Well, I was always doing it, 131 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: Like my brother and Adam and I shared a house 132 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: and there was this tiny little spot in the rage 133 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: no joke that I like set up a sewing studio. 134 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: It was so gross too, like what was I doing 135 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: in my life?

And I was like kind 138 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 1: of selling stuff on Etsy or you know anyway. So 139 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: that's the real reason I ended up in Nashville. Is 140 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: um a dude shocker to talk me through? Like what 141 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: made you go I'm going to do a project? Runway? Well, 142 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: so I'm doing design. You've moved to Nashville at this point. Yeah, 143 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: and it's it's easier too. It was easier to design here. 144 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: And um, I actually co owned a boutique in town 145 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: UM called Local Honey Um, but just for a year 146 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: because the owner and I could not get along.

UM, So I did, and I 193 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: didn't have to like jump through all the hoops again. 194 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: I didn't have to send in a video. They were like, oh, yeah, 195 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: we remember you, and they cast me. And when I 196 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: got cast, I remember talking to the casting director and 197 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: her saying like, hey, do you know why you didn't 198 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: make it that second time or you know?

At the time, I had like long 201 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: black hair with short black bangs. And there were two 202 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: women on that season already that that they had to 203 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: have that. I had long black hair and short black bangs, 204 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: and they were like, we couldn't have another girl with 205 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: the same hair. Why didn't they just tell you to 206 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: change your hair?

What 289 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: did you taken? Well? I think the biggest thing as 290 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: a creative person was that there's just there's no point 291 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: in looking around the workroom. That was like one you 292 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: know what I mean, that was that was a mantra, 293 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: don't look around the workroom. Don't don't like in the 294 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: middle of the challenge when you're kind of having a moment, 295 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: don't go And I mean I would do it every 296 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: every time possible not to, like that's a course it 297 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: why is there beating? And like that's the opposite of 298 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: my thing. You would never do a course. I would 299 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: never do a beaated corset. But like I'd be like, oh, ship, 300 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: that's beautiful. I'd like, I don't know. So I think 301 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: that's you're always going to feel like there's something better 302 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: you could do or there's some I don't know. As 303 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: an as a creative person, I think you always feel 304 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: like incomplete, like oh, my next project is going to 305 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: be when I get it right, and you know. So 306 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: it's like accepting that but then just realizing that your 307 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: thing is your thing. So what I do think it 308 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: is interesting. I mean that is a huge tip because 309 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: I think comparison is like the ban of all of 310 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: our existence, right, Like you can't function if you're comparing 311 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: yourself to other people. So you mentioned that you're not married, 312 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: so let's yeah, let's get out of well I want 313 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: to talk about this because I'm not married either. Oh really, 314 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: we talk about dating a lot. Oh yeah we do. 315 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: Oh my god, dating in your thirties?

What do you think the big difference 321 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: between dating in your thirties and in your twenties is 322 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I know my answer? Oh my gosh, I 323 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: just don't care. Yeah, I just I just don't It's 324 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: like opposite.

Well, 381 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: we didn't make exact plans, but I'm like, surely he'll 382 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: text me over the week. Saturday rolls around eleven am. 383 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: I get a text that says, are we still on 384 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: for coffee? What do you think about?

I know, I know that's 388 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: the thing. Well, is he no? You should know by now? 389 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: Well I've never said honey in my life, and I 390 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: just said, but that it evoked that emotion at me, 391 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: Like it was like, well, I see, I always think 392 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: of what the other person thought, and all I can 393 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: think is that he didn't want to like be too eager, 394 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: be too eager. Well, in the meantime, he was not 395 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: eager enough. I need someone to be a little eager 396 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah, you know what I'm I'm all 397 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: about anger with you cutting my hair right now? I 398 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:27,479 Speaker 1: pulled it out. Yeah, I mean, so did you not? 399 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: I didn't know.

So at that point, this was 402 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and I had a podcast 403 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: to do that day, and like they're waiting on me 404 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: to say when we're doing this. So I finally was 405 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: just like, we're doing it Saturday, like it was the 406 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: only day I had left, and I didn't hear from 407 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: the guy.
