As we record the final episodes of Besties & Business, we’re diving into the meaningful conversations we still want to share with you. In Episode 204, we explored how endings don’t always have to be seen as negative. Today, we’re building on that by sharing how each of us recognized it was time to step away from Besties & Business.
Deciding to move on in your career can feel overwhelming, but the truth is that the only person who truly knows what’s best for you—is YOU. By sharing our experiences, we hope to inspire you to explore your own inner world. Remember, you’re never alone—and we’re always here if you want to chat.

We are coming up on a MASSIVE milestone here at Besties & Business. We are ALMOST at 200 episodes, which is absolutely WILD!
Last year, when we hit 100 episodes, we did a reflection episode for you Besties, in which we reflected on the first 100 episodes!
We decided to do things a bit differently this year...!
In the next three episodes, we are going to be reflecting on the last 200 episodes!
In this particular episode, Jess will interview Steph on her reflections, then in the next episode, Steph will interview Jess, in the 200th episode, we will join back together to reflect on both interviews & to celebrate 200 episodes with YOU Besties! To say we will be emotional is going to be an understatement but you're just going to have to wait to see!
In this episode, Steph opens up about what the last 100 episodes have looked like for her & how much her life has changed in those episodes. She really gets vulnerable chatting all about how the entrepreneurial journey is NOT always easy but how it is WORTH it when you have a dream on your heart!
We really hope that you Besties enjoy the next few episodes. Let these episodes also be a reminder for YOU! That it is important to reflect on your own journey, the good, the bad, happy & the sad, to see how far YOU have come!
As always Besties, let us know what you think about the episode, we ALWAYS love hearing from you!

Let's talk about CHANGE. It’s no secret that over the last few months, both Jess & Steph have been navigating a TON of change, so with that, Jess has been doing a lot of thinking about this topic of change — & in this episode, she shares some of the lessons she's learned lately while navigating one of the most intense seasons of change since leaving her career in chiropractic.
Change is the only constant we have in life. It’s important that we learn to embrace that — AND that we learn to thrive in it with confidence. However, it’s also true that somethings change can feel really overwhelming, even when it’s positive and especially when A LOT of change is happening all at once. So... how do we find the balance in that?

In today's solo episode, I decided to open up about something that I have been struggling with a bit lately as an entrepreneur. On this journey, one of the biggest obstacles we will face is the idea of Imposter Syndrome, which is really this concept of feeling like you are showing up as someone you are not in order to "fake it till you make it".
I really wanted to bring to light what this has been like for me lately. I have been finding myself REALLY dealing with the loudness of Imposter Syndrome, I have found myself questioning ALOT of my moves as a small business owner & entrepreneur recently. I really wanted to come on today to speak to all my other fellow entrepreneurs to let you know that if this is something you are going through too-- you are NOT alone.
This journey is NOT easy, especially as we show up on social media in such an intimate way, baring ourselves to the world it is NOT easy at times.
I just wanted to be that reminder & that voice in your mind that you are NOT alone on this journey. You are NOT the only one who has a loud inner critic telling you that you aren't good enough.
I was inspired to share this message with YOU! I truly hope it helps YOU, wherever you
might be on your journey Bestie!
Let's go through this together!!
I hope this episode helps you, it I hope it is a reminder that YOU are doing amazing things in this world Bestie, don't let your inner critic tell you otherwise.

We ALL experience comparison at one point or another. It's easy to compare yourself to other people who are doing AMAZING things. The thing about comparison is it's really acting as a MIRROR to what's going on in your inner world. In this episode we motivate you to start thinking about comparison differently and to start viewing it as an opportunity to PAUSE & CHOOSE to start thinking better thoughts!

Kacey has SUCH an inspiring, inspirational & motivation story that she shares with us in this episode!
We had SO much fun recording this episode with Kacey! We all really connected & vibed over our common love for living down at the Jersey Shore!
Kacey really dives deep in this episode & shares her entire story about what it was like for her, growing up with her mother who owned the incredible Kate & Company story in Spring Lake, NJ! Kacey had inspiring dreams of her own she was pursuing when life took an unexpected but beautiful detour bringing her BACK to her family roots.
We LOVE how Kacey has really interwoven her family & community into her business. She really chats in this episode how important it is to get involved in the community when you own a business in a small town!
Ready to get to know Kacey a bit more Besties!?
Kacey describes herself as a mama, wife, running that boutique life. Kate + Co opened September of 1995 when Kacey was just beginning her college career at Villanova University. She thought she would become a journalist or a writer but every chance she got she found herself back working in the shop. After graduating in 1999, Kacey became engaged to her now husband and started working full time in the business until having her first son, Ben is 2004, then son Luke in 2006. Taking a short break from steady hours she still worked every Sunday and then eventually Tuesdays until her boys were of school age. In February of 2020 she became a partner and found herself, like so many small business owners, learning how to navigate a government shut down due to the pandemic. Pushing way outside her comfort zones she found a way to reach her customers though social media and developing a website. She’s super proud to have weathered the storm and continues to run the shop with love and passion with her mom as her partner and mentor. She’s a proud mom and wife too.
