Ep.55 –Wrong Shoes & New Ideas

-Debut with Angela Musings launching this Fall 2024- As the final episode together last week Kendall and Angela went over all roads that lead to our current evolution and with that this is the official last episode being placed on The Unpolished (tearful as I type this out, trust.) We truly believe the timing is right, and with that I get the honor of sharing this episode, a first look at what I will be kicking up over on Debut. (This episode will also be my launch episode over there!) Debut is a show centered around interviewing brand owners, founders, niche hobbyists alike to gab about how they ended up at where they are today. Heavy emphasis on the prequel, I'm most interested in the heart and people behind a brand, less business tips and more storytelling forward. I got the honor of interviewing the VP of Marketing at Honey Smoked Fish, Liz Spencer, by quite literally asking in the Contact Us form of their official website. I am transfixed on their entire product line, but particularly, the Honey Smoked Fish salmon stackers (found at Target, Costco, participating Krogers and more!) She walks through how she got affiliated with Honey Smoked Fish and the way she ended up in Colorado. From the wrong college, to the wrong marriage, to learning and growing, Liz graciously and authentically bares her soul. I am so lucky to have gotten to talk to her for the hour I did, especially speaking about early motherhood and breastfeeding in a way that is rare and important. We also talk salmon. Get fishy with us, please! twin with me and buy the chic girl lunchable then immediately DM me: https://honeysmokedfish.com/ you'll find me being strange over here: IG: https://www.instagram.com/angela_musings/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@angelamusings XOXO Angela Artmovich, of Debut with Angela Musings

Well, how does one wrap up four years of spiritual awakenings, life long friendships, lightbulb moments particularly as women in their early 30s?  SOS This episode is about why we came to the decision to end this show, bittersweet doesn’t even begin to cover it. We answered all the listeners questions that we could, and the silver lining is with endings come new doors opened. Kendall launched Hanna House and discusses how she naturally evolved what started as candles for her friends into a fully designed brand inspired by hotels, travels, and home design. Your sniffer will never be happier after coppin a clean candle, never a headache, always a pleasure. Angela discusses how she’s launching her solo podcast this August: Debut with Angela Musings (she’s still getting approved by Apple, Spotify, what have you, but the link will go here) Next episode dropped will give you an exclusive taste of the type of content on her show, as she sleuthed her way into interviewing the VP of Honey Smoked Fish to talk motherhood, the power of branding, and… smoked salmon. What a wild ride this has been, we’d be nowhere without your decision to invite us into your ears on your commutes, on your late nights, on your hot girl walks, and anything in-between. We’re not going anywhere, just opening up new avenues to love on you all. Onward and upward. We love you so deeply. Xo Unpolished Girlies hannahouse.co Instagrams: @hanna___house @Angela_musings

Well well well, we suckered another one of our nearest and dearest onto our show, one of our favorite ploys. We’re half joking - but whole heartedly pumped to have Victoria Searcy join us today. We get started with favorite snacks, favorite Hollywood hottie, some light & fun dessert before we get into the main course- discussing the power of keeping an open mind and your heart full of empathy. There’s such divinity in the grey and we truly all feel passionately about being life long learners from everyone we meet. Enjoy!

Ok team, last episode we talked mainly about following little breadcrumbs (nods from the universe// aligned winks) and how to keep a version of the life you want alive in any season. This episode is about the potential following of a path, and it.. well.. awkward silence FLOPS. Soooo.. NOW WHAT?— Angela talks about an L she took in a business venture and the natural evolution that came out of it. Kendall discusses the process of switching lanes, career wise.. sharing the advice she gave to someone who asked how she landed a job in interior design with no prior experience in the field. We also talk about embarrassing in- law moments ++ a passionate rant about a hospice memoir that has kept us up past our bedtime reading. Happy Memorial Day, everyone. 💓 Floss Threaders PigMami In-Between by Hadley Vlahos Say Hi on IG Our Merch

WE GOT A FACE LIFT! And by that, we mean we upgraded our audio quality as a 4th year podcast anniversary present. Long overdue, but ta-daaaaaa! ✨ Today we get into personal stories of something new, following the breadcrumbs that call to us no matter how small and silly, saving your day when you’re spiraling, and remembering we are always worthy of vitality, abundance, and the occasional Diet Coke. Angela rounds us out with passionate regaling about porcelain plates lol Thank you for listening & supporting (even when our audio sounded like we were in a snow storm— y’all real for that). It’s a joy to yap away and feel like you’re in the room with us. unpolished girlies Say HI: @the.unpolished Merch: Cop a thang

Well, we’ve got RANGE this episode— so there’s something for everyone. Starting off reflective with a 3 card pull and moving into some personal stories of looking at our fear and following the breadcrumbs of what it’s trying to tell us. Is it serving us or protecting us? But then RECORD SCRATCH MY GIRL- philosophical conversations be gone- we spill the tea on the Netflix show “Baby Reindeer”, bunco with older women, and breaking out in song. Somehow it makes all the sense and no sense at all. Welcome to our show. Luck be the LADAYYYYY- Angela + Kendall Say Hi: https://www.instagram.com/the.unpolished/ We have merch! https://the-unpolished.printify.me/products

A catch-up chit chat episode! Kendall and Angela have started a slew of new projects (running theme: we can’t keep our paws to ourselves) and discuss how they came to be, what’s lighting us up (hanna house) and how the creativity faucet ebbs and flows. The biggest intuitive lesson is the knowing that our flow will always come back around so love her when she’s here, trust she’s coming back when she’s quiet. We want this episode to stand as a reminder that it can be hard to keep at your craft, your passions, your after-hours creative hub, but it’s always worth it. XOXO, Unpolished Girlies P.S. we dropped merch and we love it, come take a peek: https://the-unpolished.printify.me/ Book Mentioned: Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi Say Hi: @the.unpolished

Attention teaaaam- we have a return guest on, April Ray of Astreastoundance. Today we get into the power of our moon signs, and most notably, the messages from our mother and father through our natal chart. We analyze the energy surrounding the approaching solar eclipse (4/8/24) and why everyone is feeling completely whacky and activated right now (the planets are up to no good tbh!!) We hope it feels like you’re on the floor with us shrieking like close friends do. We truly forgot we were recording because we got so amped. We hope you enjoy & send to someone that would resonate. We love getting weird over here. XO, Unpolished Girlies Find your natal chart here: https://alabe.com/freechart Book April here: https://www.astreastoundance.net (USE CODE UNPOLISHED444 for 20% off!)

We’re feelin garden chic this spring so it only felt right to have green thumb angel, Rachel Weeks of @scouthouse, on this week. Rachel is a copywriter + just over all vibe curator, so this episode is jam packed with goodness. We get into easy garden hacks for even the smallest space, living deliciously intentional within work and play, creating and nurturing community as an adult, and then end on a spicy note with dating yucks and yums in the wild Wild West of online situationships. Editor’s note: source a notebook and pen sis, because we were taking notes even while recording. A little bit of everything, a happy signature of the Unpolished. Enjoy! XO!

Kendall and Angela back together again taking a whirly twirly ride of lighthearted thoughts— we begin with a 3 card pull and then chat about what Angela learned in her styling session with our mutual girl crush, Alison Bornstein. We discuss the energetics of style and fashion, and what creative blocks come up and can be conquered simply by getting dressed in the morning. We round it out with a nostalgic rant of what we loved as little kids (Flintstones sherbet push pops anyone?), and how revisiting the hobbies and interests of our childhood have the possibility of bringing in so much joy in adulthood. We hope this episode makes you feel excited to explore and play with your own personal style and call in more childlike excitement in your creativity. We love you!
