The Creative Plot

Danielle Kalish - Plot Twist Proud

Oh friends, I have the best season finale yet for you- a beyond fitting conversation between two multi-passionate creatives that have a love for music, the nineties, and all things beautiful. I am so beyond excited to introduce you to Danielle Kalish. Danielle is the mind and creative force behind Abode by Parklyn and Parklyn Interiors (and current poster child of the plot twist). After 15 years of introducing herself as a member of corporate life, allow her to proudly reintroduce herself as entrepreneur babyyy! She's creating not only beautiful spaces, but an intentional place + community hub for designers, window shoppers, and fans of unique finds alike. Abode is a space that allows you to step into her world (trust me, you'll want to move in immediately), soak up the tunes, and then take that renewed inspiration spark back to your own neck of the woods. This meeting of the minds felt like a long time coming, and even after two hours together I couldn't get enough of our conversation. I hope you enjoy this chapter of The Creative Plot, and I can't wait to see you again soon for Season 3....

Who Are You Following & Where Are They Going?

Ok friends- it had to be done. I'm stealing the mic for a solo SKC yap about something I think is plagueing us all (whether we recognize it or not). Who are you following- and where are they going? We all know that saying "You're most like the 5 people you spend your time with", but in today's day and age we're spending more time with someone virtually- and 80% of the time we don't even know them in real life. I read a crazy statistic the other day that stopped me in my tracks and had me even more in my feels than I had been lately about this wild world of influence and content, and I just knew it needed to be a conversation with Y O U. So tune in, get curious, and then continue the conversation: I'd love to hear from you if this has been something you've noticed, what your feelings or observations are after taking a listen, and how you plan to take up intentional space in the algorithm of your life...

Emily Broadbent - A Passion for Business, Photography, & Crispy Diet Coke

How would Emily Broadbent introduce herself? Well, in her words: "It's kind of a long story, and how'd I even get here, and it's insane." In my words? May I present Emily Broadbent- The President of Plot Twists, and an artist in her own way. An ever-passionate business woman who isn't afraid to love her family and love making money. (and no friends, there's no shame in that!) She lived through the entrepreneurs dating game and has found her happily ever after in the world of Wedding Photography and the incredible community she serves and inspires through her work. From a meal planning system, pillow covers, and digital scrapbooking to blogs and baby photography, she's walked the walk- and her shoe collection is proof she does it in style. You don't necessarily have to find "balance", friends, or fall into a definition of success that suits someone else's life- tune in and learn how Emily finds harmony and pivots to be present for her family, her clients, her businesses, and her dreams. You're allowed to have business seasons, family seasons, and seasons for yourself (I mean, every good TV show does!) and your next best idea or evolution could be right around the corner. For the true Emily experience- before you tune in, grab a crispy diet coke, a handful of pink starbursts, and your Chick-Fil-A....

Morgan Baldwin - Serifs, Silhouettes, & The Power of Self-Expression

In this episode, I get to sit down with a true creator- someone who sees fashion and art not as a set of rules, but as a fluid, evolving expression of self. She's a serif. A fashion enthusiast. A creative force. May I present, Morgan Baldwin. She is an associate creative director for Neiman Marcus, but I'm sure after reading the above you already know she's so much more.... We dive into the power of personal style, the freedom of dressing for yourself (not for others), and how fashion is less about judgment and more about curiosity, inspiration, and confidence. It's your armor, your energy, your way of taking on the day. And most importantly? You don't have to dim your light to fit in—because confidence isn't about intimidation; it's about lifting the world around you. Tune in, get inspired, and start wearing + doing + creating + loving what makes your own heart happy.

Claire Kampelman - Hair, Hustle & Heart

You may know my next guest as Claire, clairecutshair, or the Vibe Guru behind Glossed Salon in St. Louis- but as she says so herself, the lore of Claire is crazy (the good kind). With that in mind, may I present Claire Kampelman- she's not here for the small talk, but she is here to empower others, get you to your healthy + sexy hair prime, and to remind you that different is GOOD. Friends it's time to get locked-in to these next 60 minutes as if you're taking your seat in the salon chair. Get ready to hear all the stories, plot twists, and tea about what's ahead for Claire and the Glossed Salon legacy. Many may say it's "just hair", but we all know it's so much more...
