117 | Rebirth with Kenzie Burke
In today’s episode, McLean is joined by Kenzie Burke as they dive into Kenzie's journey of awakening and rebirth. Based in Malibu, California, Kenzie Burke is the founder of BRÛLÉ; a clothing line whose namesake stems from its definitional association with fire. For founder and designer Kenzie Burke, fire is the impetus from which artistry springs forth. After gaining acclaim in the health and wellness space, Kenzie burnt it down to launch her lifelong passion: a clothing line focused on bringing lasting taste into fashion. BRÛLÉ is where life emerges from ashes. Kenzie previously managed a wellness social media account and created a podcast with more than 600,000 downloads. She also produced three health and wellness books and a superfood line of biodynamic coffee and cacao. However, in 2021, she disengaged from wellness and focused solely on fashion. McLean was inspired by Kenzie’s pivot and wanted to have her on the show to be an authentic example of how to support yourself through massive change. Kenzie shares how and why she had to drop everything and what it felt like to deeply surrender in order to get back up and rebuild herself again.In this episode of Mother the Mother:Kenzie's rebirth and rebuilding herself in a new wayWhat attributed to her social media successAwakening journey and the evolution from her old businessHaving a sense of clarity and longevity with what career path to venture inEnzyme cleanse, energy change, and coming back better and strongerSponsor Info:This show is supported by:Bamboobies | Use code MTM to get 25% off sitewide!Organifi use code: mother for 15% offNeeded use code: MOTHERTHEMOTHER20 for 20% offC & the Moon use code mclean15 for 15% offSocial Tags:McLean’s Resources: Instagram: @motherthemotherWebsite: www.motherthemother.com Join the newsletter!HealyWays to be held by McLean:Sovereign SocietyMom ClubOne-on-oneConnect with Kenzie:Instagram: @kenzieburkeBRÛLÉ: www.shopbrule.comThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions
