How do you know when it’s time to begin something new? And when you do, where do you start?

Sarah Alves is back to help us unpack these two big life questions, this time sharing more about her professional journey as a communication strategist in tech and at Magnolia. She also unveils a secret project she’s been working on for the very long time: a keepsake journal inspired by the one and only Taylor Swift!

In this episode, I delve into the reasons behind my decision to venture into small business consulting with my dear friend and esteemed past consultant, Sarah Alves.

Well, I would be lying to you if I said I haven’t sat in this feeling and complained about it. For a few months I let it completely take over and I was having a hard time finding the joy around me. Then one day, around the first of March, I flipped the switch. I decided that I could shift how and what I worked on each day. I could be present with a more positive outlook on my work/life balance. Instead of feeling the weight of all the work and expectations, I could lean on my team more than I ever have. I’m consciously working less, I’ve started outsourcing a portion of our printing, and I I’m making time for myself, my thoughts, and my family. If I had to pick one word for this year it would be “trust” which is playing off my phrase for last year, “do less with more intention”.

I recorded this episode in December 2023 and am ready to be more open about my current season. I’ve been doing a lot of personal + business behind the scenes work that I’m ready to start sharing about. This episode is going to start the next season for this show. I’ll be back to share about what happened since this episode. If you resonate with any of what I talk about, stay tuned and don’t go far.

When we experience joy we have a habit of attaching that emotion to certain places, things, and people as if it solely came from an outer source when in reality genuine joy comes from yourself.

We’ve all heard the saying “if you can dream it, you can achieve it,” at some point in our lifetime. When you are younger the possibilities of dreams are endless yet, when we grow older some of that magic tends to get lost. We begin to believe that certain dreams are impossible to reach but, we are here to tell you that is far from the truth.

As kids we are taught that an object in motion stays in motion but, as adults, that may not always feel true. I am sure we are all familiar with that weird, in between feeling where life doesn’t feel stagnant but it doesn’t feel like you’re moving either. This feeling usually comes, gradually or instantly, after a season of consistent, rapid growth. Even when we can’t feel or see it, growth is always happening. Slow growth is still growth. Join Kathryn, Honor, and our Special Guest, Blair Ramon from Gilbert Creek Gardens as they talk about the value and power of outer opinions, mental committees, and learning how to spot the difference between your own wants vs. what you believe others want.

Happy New Year Ramble family! 2022 was full of big changes and new beginnings. As the holidays calm down we are taking a second to rest and reflect on the seasons this past year has brought. With every year we add to our belt we grow a little bit taller but, no one talks about the courage it takes to grow in a different direction (even the good directions). Join Honor and Kathryn as they speak about having the courage to grow in the direction the sun takes you, reflecting on the chapters of 2022, and welcoming the new possibilities that come with 2023.

Today’s episode is centered around the meaning of intention. We begin with a snippet of the Ramble manifesto to help align our minds and hearts with the “why” of Ramble & Co. Over the years we have grown, pivoted, and continued to welcome the evolution that has made a home at Ramble. Join Kathryn as she talks about the uncertainty, tug to change and refocus, and the need to take time to sit and reflect on what has been and what is to come.

Living in a self-serving society leaves us with space to extend love beyond our own personal agendas. Yet, how are we to extend love if we may not know when it is needed? Everyone deserves the opportunity to receive unconditional love. Being aware of how you and others give and receive love allows us to make a love a habit every day.

Joy can be found in the simple things like at the bottom of your favorite coffee cup, experiencing a colorful sunset during your drive home after a long day of work, or doing things that make your body and mind feel balanced. Whenever joy makes the slightest appearance, we encourage you to reach for it and allow yourself to choose it, for joy will always choose you.

Finding peace within the goodbyes that are still full of love and gratitude is one of the most difficult parts of growth. As people we are accustomed to many changes throughout our life but, why do we fear change as if it will always have a negative impact on our story? How is one supposed to welcome change in their life? Tune in as the Ramble team shares how change has impacted their lives and continues to teach them to enjoy every moment as it comes.

What are some ways you have encouraged change into your life? Feel free to share by emailing us at info@rambleandcompany. Also, for more updates on Ramble life follow us on Instagram @rambleandcompany.

Welcome back! A lot has happened since we last left off and we are excited to share with you. From the ups and downs of our new Waco location to the constant ebb and flow of Ramble life our team has gained a new perspective of what trusting the journey means to them. Join Kathryn, Alyssa, Honor, and Kassey as they touch on their personal outlooks of this hectic season and updates on what is to come at Ramble & Co.!

Ramble 2.0 is coming to Waco and we cannot wait! A second location has been a dream of Kathryn’s for years and it is now becoming a reality. Ramble is an apparel store BUT our hearts go beyond apparel.

Walking through this journey called life - there are going to be days, moments, + seasons of overwhelm. Maybe it’s a fear you’re facing, a big project you’re working on, relationship troubles, etc. If you’re human - you’ve experienced a moment of overwhelm. But - how do you handle it? 

Fear is the story you’ve told yourself that has prevented you from running after what you want. But how do you overcome that and lean into ambition? Big or small - ambition is something that drives us all. Whether it drives us to fear or motivates us to run after it harder!

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMMMERR!! (name that tune) But for real - school is out which means summer is HERE! It is the time for road trips + family/friend vacays!

Connection + community are a huge part of the heartbeat of Ramble & Co and our team. We believe connection is important for everyone in every walk of life - we were not made to do life alone. Walk with us as we walk through:

The different levels of connection

What role “self awareness”  plays in the realm of connection and why it is important to be able to build healthy/lasting relationships. the role 

The walls we can put up that can prevent us from connecting with those around us.

Join Alyssa + Honor as they talk about all things Kathryn - the hard moments they’ve navigated, first encounters, life lessons she has taught them, + the beauty she offers this world!
