Have you ever questioned the direction of your career just to pull the proverbial fire alarm - running across the world for an Eat, Pray, Love-esque adventure? Or at least dreamed of it? If so, this episode is one you’re going to love.  Annaliesse was born with a passion for interior design. After one semester at UVic she realized she needed to follow that dream. That week her parents packed her up and she headed off to Europe where she met a guy floating by in the Ocean in Greece which led her to a whirlwind opportunity restoring a stunning and ancient mill in France before returning to Canada to begin her design career. Join us as we discuss how to buy art as a beginner, how to invest in art, how to make your home feel like HOME and the whirlwind adventures of life. 

 About Our Guest: 

Annaliesse Kelly has been in the world of design for 20 years.Throughout her award-winning career, Annaliesse has worked with Canada’s top architectural firms, contractors and artisans to create sophisticated spaces that reflect the individual needs of her clients. AK Design’s work has been featured extensively in the press, including in Western Living, The Vancouver Sun, Canadian Home Trends, Rue Magazine and more. This recognition has been largely attributed to their passion for creating spaces that are timeless, functional and most importantly—feel like home.

#007 Let that Sh*T GO! 

Sara Brigz is a declutter expert who can attest to living clutter-free in a small space: she shares her 300 square foot apartment with her partner, works from home, and retains a calm composure and bright-eyed clarity that makes us both feel comparatively like mad hatters at a cluttered-up tea party. How does she seem like she’s got it all together? We find out! As we move into the winter of one weird-ass year, working and living in our smaller bubbles of existence, we’re so ready to let a LOT of sh*t go (including 2020 IMO). Sara adds to the joy of letting go with some ‘perks of tiny living’, including stronger relationships, communication skills, and release of our possessiveness over our possessions. 

So, pour that favourite drink of yours, push aside that coffee mug sitting on top of the pile of papers sitting on top of the stack of magazines next to that trinket you got three years ago from some craft fair that was attached to some memory that you haven’t quite remembered but it MIGHT come back to you at some point soon so you should probably keep it… and enjoy listening to some of Sara’s solutions to stressless surroundings. 

Just do us a favour: recycle, donate, and don’t throw your sh*t out the window. Someone could get hurt.

Episode Six - This is Us

For our sixth episode, we wanted to try something new. Our brunches started as REAL brunches with like-minded colleagues, and we wanted to honour that, and share it with you. We reflect on our journey, as well as recap and digest the first series of episodes. We want you to see behind the scenes, candidly, as so much of the journeys we witness can be hidden, because of a need or want to only show the ‘polished product’. 

So, we brunch over our own progress, our learnings, while discussing boundaries, the importance of words in our relationship to our behaviour, the Wild West of the Internet, cancel culture, identity, past guests’ wisdom, and not giving a fuck. 

This is an info-rich, thought-invoking episode of free-flowing discussion, best paired with your favourite beverage, a lovely brunch, or sitting in a cozy space with your two new friends. 

Welcome to our brunch. Let’s chat, babes.

Episode FIVE - time flies! 

We sat down with Tamara as the start of our Winter Warmer series: the weather (on this side of the world, anyway) is turning; it’s darker, for longer, we’re neck-deep in fake news, and there’s a continued global pandemic looming over us all. Tamara takes us into a deep, conversational breath of reassurance, reminding us that it’s okay to not be okay, and giving our lovely listeners some tools that we hope will hug your heart. This is an episode for all of us, filled with kindness, care, and of course, candid conversation. Cheers, babeses. Take good care of you. xx

Hello from episode three! 
This episode features Capilano University Lecturer and Executive Label Manager, Shannon Luttmer. The Bombshell gang and Shannon talk about the importance of knowing when to say "yes", dealing with past trauma and the weird ways it manifests when you don't, the importance of working together in smaller industries and as women in order to uplift and looking inward to set strong boundaries. Don't be fooled by Shannon's calm, cool and collected exterior, she is quick as a whip and an absolute force to be reckoned with.
