Episode 5: Career Changes, Generating Gratitude, and Love Languages with Kara Pearson, Founder of Styled by Kara

In this episode, I chat with the lovely Kara Pearson. Kara has a background in design and wardrobe styling and attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) for graphic design. 


In 2014 at the age of 21, Kara launched her brand, Styled by Kara, an award-winning styling company that focused on high-end projects for print, editorial, campaign, and celebrity clientele. In 2017, Styled by Kara rebranded and emerged in the digital landscape as a marketing agency offering branding, strategy, social media management, content creation, editorial writing, and PR services. 


Kara currently manages the marketing and social media for one of my favorite places in Santa Barbara: the Rosewood Miramar Beach. If you follow me on social media, you already know how much I enjoy visiting this dreamy hotel.


Kara and I discuss the good and the bad of social media, content creation, daily routines, injury recovery, and so much more!

NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @meredit NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @meredith_costumes of @palmacolectiva 🎤 

Episode 69: From Hollywood Costume Designer to Wellness Founder: Meredith Markworth-Pollack on Burnout, Healing, & Starting Over 🙏 

In this episode, I’m joined by Meredith Markworth-Pollack, founder of holistic wellness space, Palma Colectiva. Meredith spent almost two decades as a costume designer on shows like Gossip Girl, Reign, Hart of Dixie, and Dynasty. After facing major industry burnout, she decided to uproot her life, move to Santa Barbara, and start from scratch in the wellness space. 👗 

We chat about success not being enough, struggling with multiple forms of grief, and “wellness” becoming a popular buzzword. Meredith shares the ups and downs of starting and maintaining a business and how there isn’t only one “right” healing modality for someone. She shares about divorce, creating retreats for women, and how listening to herself and choosing health changed everything. 🕊️ 

Whether you are seeking clarity, community, or well-being, I believe you will benefit from this conversation that proves vulnerability really is a super power! 👏🏻
