In Kristen We Brust

i think in life and home there is so much to be treasured and loved and sought after-  the secret is just finding rhythm. it's about taking good care of your heartbeat and learning homes can have heartbeats too. what is good for your soul doesn't always match everyone else. i offer a perspective of finding a sweet cadence for both. for introspective dives into what makes you tick. stay the course....

not-so-current events... i poured a little piece of my heart out about life, liberty, and the pursuit of gold medals. a few thoughts about things swirling in our world and my world that carry over, like most does, into all areas of our lives. honest matters of the heart. i'll give myself a bronze in parenting just in case you were wondering. get in here and let's do some not so current events but...

this is more than ballet flats and burgundy bags … a minute to close out the world and maybe close toe too. to know yourself and what you love is one of the greatest gifts. together we can tune in and up and sort our own september issues.  i love you. too much. forever. xoxo. kb.

a journey to yourself. a deeper learning of obedience to your beautiful intuition. this homecoming season is about returning to home...to yourself. slow to respond. slow to absorb. living slow. coming home to you has never been more stunning. i love you. too much. forever. xoxo. kb.

oh i love a little time with yall so much! welcome to season five! it's our "homecoming season." in the wild world of fast pace i am planting us here in homecoming. a frame of mind and of heart. a place where we can attempt to sharpen discernment and return back to valuing the most rare treasure of it all, our intuition. our knowing. our trust in ourselves. you are so stunning and so radiant and s...

::: DEAR MAMA SERIES the honor.  a few months ago i sat down inside a cozy, silent studio space at Edgehill Music Publishing with the other half of kb x kb, kristen blake. in our industry you know her has a talented itty bit that floats through wardrobe racks in her size nothing ballerina feet. pulling clothes and strings and landing impossible gets with her tight and trusted network of style supe...

come snuggle in with me while we take the lids off our lives and breathe some air into the dreams and plans that we have shelved. a little chit chat about the road back to you with your road trip buddy riding shotgun. i love you too much. xoxo kb

happy mama day! i love you. too much. forever.

whew. safe harbors. pockets of comfortably settling into a season of deep knowing. we, as a village, are finding some places that by definition provide protection. refuge. comfort. ::: safe harbors as we press in we understand the rarity and absolute sanctity of these people. we also learn that creating safety starts with communication. trusting ourselves to know what we know. to listen to what Go...

moving into love month. ahhhhh. a deep breath and a little arm's length. we kick off this month taking freedom filled breaths and deciding what we want in our orbit. a spirit of already having enough as we are - that sweet spot feeling of CHOOSING to bring into the inner circle. rest for a minute in the knowing. we are really existing in a powerful energy, we just need our noise canceling headphon...

oh me say goodbye to you? no chance! but the farewell party has started for all of us. it's time to give ourselves permission to find and hold the things that keep any part of us captive. and then like a high school break up, we will tell those parts "it's not you, it's me" and we will start the freedom phase of living. and until we nail it, we will keep revisiting. so, get in here. i've got some...

...and happy friend•iversary to us! if i wished a thousand wishes, 999 of them would be about how this community would continue to grow and feel like full on love. FOUR FULL LIFE FILLED YEARS TOGETHER YALL!   after i talk birthday•ing ((yes i make up words way too often)), i have a little message about the slow + go of a new year. slow to make resolutions, quicker to make healthy habits, prayerful...

live from my sofa, curled up next to my supermodel of a christmas tree, a heartfelt episode from me to you. "help is on the way dear!" - the doubtfire moment i have been waiting for! oh it's everything. in the internal inventory of the Great November Purge i found myself way too honest about how i cannot do mama, podcast, homeschool, baby life without help. a really vulnerable moment for the girl...

it's the most wonderful time of the year at iKwB! the Great November purge is upon us! ahhhh the sweet sound of garbage bags full of donations and silenced cell phones. November around here means decluttering every nook and corner of homes and hearts. so come get cozy and motivated. it takes a village to simplify …and it takes two months to gear up for a new year. your pep rally is here! i love yo...

friends we are living on a prayer and a few lighter topics this week. you know when you get a new love and you feel so just floaty… that's how i have felt about y'all and what we are up to. this week we take time to focus and recenter. to fully know what we need and digest information slower. to anchor. to feel love and protected. not just in morning still but also in times of chaos. so snuggle up...

as we wrap up our two part Good Grief mini series, i just need you know how deeply loved you are. all the heartbeats, here and Heaven, including me really think you are amazing. this life ((and this death)) is a lot on us friends but there is some slices of true love and connection to be made. let's snuggle in and be honest and a little hopeful. a special return guest stops in to say "hi" and i sh...

whew. a big ol heartfelt episode. hear me out, grief is a gift of ultimate learning and perspective. it's unreal pain and growth all at once. it's the gauntlet of human emotions. loss of love, someone, the idea of someone, it's all in here. mourning. this is part one of a two part ((maybe three)) walk through the hard, hard, hard stuff. loss. i am right here with you. especially in the valleys. st...

living now. easier said than done. staying present. easier said than done. friends, i firmly believe quiet minds produce really meaningful lives. we have to go slow. we can't give into all the noise and all the madness- AND we. have. to. keep each other afloat. our world is wired to make us want more, bigger, better, more post•able. the reality of what is beautiful in life isn't on a screen at all...

hi.  i've missed you so much! too much really.  ikwb is back. i've been living slow and intentional. and with every breath and tiny movement forward, i always find this need to just sit with you. you are like air to me. i love when we can be together. talk about what's real and what's pretty and sometimes what's not pretty too. you matter so much to me. thank you for your grace and love and steadf...

thank you for loving me. i am so grateful you are here. xoxo ::: kb + sacred guest

new year new you? nah girl. slow down. we aren't rushing through creating a vision for the year especially after we just iced our backs from nonstop hosting and gift wrapping. no yearly business plan is made in 5 days. january 1 means you have a slow start to a new year. i invite you to enter your year with intention and not barbells with this podcast pep rally for 2023 ((also maybe barbells if yo...

hi. homecoming. the word of my current season. a return to myself. slow. steady. crunchy leaf hearted. a series of God gifted moments has reminded me that reintroduction is more critical that reinvention sometimes. sometimes the parts we pray we have are the parts we already have. we just need silence and time to dust them off. listening is just as important as talking. how much do you listen to y...

God bless you Uvalde, Texas and every heartbeat Heaven gained from you this week. whew. a heavy and layered world. grieving, learning, rerouting, grieving some more. learning to navigate, oh and then learning to navigate the navigation. are. we. tired. or. what. grab every single one of your feelings, come in and curl up. let's just sit. it's ok to not be ok. and even if that's as much as we know,...

it's a  week so soak in the Holy Hope.  it's the phrase around iKwB headquarters this week::: "sorry i can't. it's Holy week."   a week without rush or any extra "yes". a week to dig in the garden dirt, boil eggs, hunt down butter lambs ((iykyk)). a week to create a Holy feast menu. a week to rest in traditions and sacredness of the ones before us. a week to plant hope in your tired heart because...

which came first the the chicken or the swipe up? we are working in reverse because yall loved the abundant truth in "over overconsumption". so why do we over consume? let's dig into learning your style, learning your body, trusting your beautiful gut. your gut is a gift. yes ma'am // sir! you heard me. that gut, whether its decked in abs or carrying a few extra lbs, it's freaking beautiful. and t...
