“ I feel like lessons find you when they need to” well Kalyn the timing of this chat was perfect. I heard somewhere (can’t remember who said it) a few weeks ago that we shouldn’t treat ourselves like that old t-shirt in the back of the closet that we just throw on, toss in the wash and crumple up in a ball in the closet again when we’re done, but rather like that nice shirt we read the washing instructions for and take good care of. That, and what you said about not being the side character, not walking to the bus, really hit home. I feel like I’vedone what other people expect me to for so long, and it just doesn’t serve me anymore. I’m now going to practice actually listening to, and caring for, myself. Lots of love
I’m so sorry this happened to you, people’s true colors can be ugly … but man are you handling this with such grace. You sound genuinely empowered, and not like you’re trying to convince us or yourself. This is wrong on so many levels, but you’re still managing to make it right. I’m excited for your brand’s evolution.
I can't believe how accurate this is. It's just exactly what I'm going through and exactly what I needed to listen. Rejection is redirection! Thank you so much for sharing. You help so much!!! ❤️ It's so hard to go through tough times and feel like everything you've worked for is not for you. But at the same time it's hopeful. It gives us soon much to explore. So many possibilities!!!! I can't wait to see what's next! Thanks so much! ❤️
Such an important video for someone like me who's gone through such a learning journey this year. Understanding what's right and best for myself, in order to stay true to myself isn't easy. Since the beginning of this year, I had to pack two suitcases and move out of my family's home without saying goodbye at the age of 23 -- due to controlling and manipulative family members. I moved abroad to a whole new country and began living with my boyfriend. The backlash I have received after months of being out of that home away from family by family has been so hurtful, but yet at the same time a lot of growth within myself. Leaving at controlling and manipulative roof has allowed me to see so many things for myself about myself and my family's true intentions. It's been a worldwhind, but thank you for always being such an inspiration to look up to Kalyn and all your words of wisdom along this journey. ☺
"The way I see it, if something makes you sad when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening. Truth be told, I always felt it a bit lazy to just think of the world as sad, because so much of it is. Because everything ends. Everything dies. But if you step back, if you step back and look at the whole picture, if you're brave enough to allow yourself the gift of a really wide perspective, if you do that, you'll see that the end is not sad. It's just the start of the next incredibly beautiful thing."
Kalyn, I appreciate your attitude so much, but you shouldn't feel like you need to rebrand All Things Koze just because Jaclyn Hill copied it! Don't let what she did undo the beautiful thing you created. Since you are talking about attachment I will offer you advice from one of my favorite Buddhist teachers. He says that the Buddhist response to being wronged isn't attacking, but it also isn't "turning the other cheek" or walking away. It's confronting the person who wronged you in a steadfast manner, engaging with them, and holding steady. Unless Jaclyn forces you to change the name (or buys your brand - and the amount should be commensurate to its value) you should just keep it and continue All Things Koze! 5 years from now Jaclyn's brand will no longer exist, and you will still be creating koze-y vibes all around ❤
Exactly!! I’ve seen so many comments stating things about the quality, exchange policy, etc, and it is NOT looking good for Jaclyn’s brand already. I personally unfollowed all of her pages (not that I really cared about her after the last disaster launch she did) Kalyn will flourish, no matter what!
This is so inspiring thanks for sharing your story. I started my path to reinventing myself a year ago, I'm now living healthier, confident, stronger, making 6 figures, having leisure to enjoy family &friends. I feel happier and living my life for myself. This is to encourage someone "you can start anytime to have a reset it's worth it! I'm striving to continue growing cus it's a journey❤
The way you so precisely display your messages through these talks and really analyze the world through all your perspectives is brilliant. I can literally feel my brain grow and connect dots that i wouldve never dreamed up when i listen to this channel. Your outlook on life is beautiful and admirable, and so understanding. you inspire me to think outside the box and see the world through every lens that i have time to learn in this life. i love you so much
I am excited to see what you’ll be doing with All Things Koze from here on out! Im so ready for the Mom GYST videos 🤗🤗 Really really loved this video. You’re a gem, babe 🥹
Followed this up with the Podcast you released shedding light on the situation. I could type a 5,000 word paragraph on how dang proud I am to be a part of this online space you've created. But one personal thing I want to really hit home is THANK YOU. THANK YOU for being an example of an ETHICAL business woman. As a business owner myself it gives me something to strive for. ***please queue the virtual standing ovation that your decision moving forward deserves***. 👏
While listening to you, it felt like I'm talking to my self again. All of your thoughts are indeed REAL💯 Glad to get at this age having this kind of mindset. GOD BLESS YOU❤️❤️❤️ 🇵🇭
This video came to me at the perfect time. I am in that „pause/reconsidering/change is coming“-phase and I’m glad to have the opportunity to breathe through this and looking for the right bus because I was sitting at a bus station waiting for a bus that was definitely driving in a direction that’s not for me.
Sending you love, as someone who has followed for years, you are one of my biggest inspirations. Thank you for all you do for your community ❤ can’t wait to see what’s next!
Love this! Sometimes much easier said than done, but such a great angle to approach your life from, and I think this mindset is well worth the work it takes to achieve it! Great advice :)
I definitely needed to hear this coffee talk this week! The timing was perfect and has remotivated me to take more care of myself and to grow through the journey and season of life I am on. Thank you for sharing! ❤❤
This coffee talk could not have come at a better time! Thank you for continuing to share and have these conversations. Can you do a talk on finding your people, moving through relationships with friends and handling controversy/continuing on when people around you are negative based on issues they're experiencing (ie: family member with cancer, breakup, etc) and how to not let it affect your energy
I went to buy #feels and a sticker yesterday and saw the website was logged off. I'm hoping I didn't miss the opportunity to buy a koze sticker but if I did it was just one of those buses and I'm excited to catch the next bus that's leading to whatever next chapter you have envisioned for your business ☕❤️
I appreciate you so much! I really needed this while trying to find what I truly want to do with my career rather than what I thought I wanted based on other's preferences. It's a thrilling mindset to envision yourself as a project of getting closer to what you really want. Taking the steps to get out of my comfort zone will feel worth it in the end. Scary. But worth it :)
People are always telling me the same thing, which is "My life is so chaotic". The things that they can change about this, they should start to do, but they will always instead decide to leave it for another time, but the more we procrastinate, and choose to "leave it for now", the longer it will take. Time isn't on anyone's side.
An important discussion. I've been struggling with a sense of purpose recently. I'm still very sorry you worked so hard and built so much momentum for yourself to have it disrupted. At the same time, I'm excited about the rebrand and proud of you.
This is exactly what I needed to hear today. I do need to run after that bus! I am the main character in my life story! I don't need to be anything for anyone else but myself! Thank you so much for this coffee chat. I send you loving light xx
Thank you so much for this video. The timing was perfect for me. Exactly what I need right now and I'm sure I will come back to it in the future as well. Sending love to you and your family ♥️
Thank you for making this video totally agree this goes in hand with one of my advice bumper stickers that I have in my life and have through time and space shared and that is take care of yourself or your relationship with yourself and your relationship with God those are the two most important relationships in a person's life everything else will trickle and take care of itself ! 🎩💌🙏
Thank you for being so inspirating! Ive been following for many years and love seeing you grow !!♥️ I will always be following what ever the name because you have a beautifull light inside of you that shine kindness and goodness♥️ Very excited to see what is next!
Thank you for this video. I'm reconnecting with this channel of yours, used to follow on your main channel. I have been feeling and thinking that I'm only allowed to live behind closed doors. It's been a tough 6, nearly 7 months of my life; my career and marriage broke down simultaneously and I'm trying to pick up my pieces and fix myself again. Here's to working on myself to be the best version I can be. 🍺
Wow I prayed on something literally a few min ago and I stumbled across this video of yours you are so right we are our biggest project and your advice in this video was mind blowing , I have been subscribed to both your channels for so long and I really love your personality, you’re amazing ,
This spoke to me on a deep level November is definitely a month for reflection, letting go and planning ahead for me. Especially as my birthday is at the very end of November. It's kinda like the last month of my own personal year, and it always makes me think about stuff. Looking forward to doing some journaling and shadow work now in the coming weeks
I so needed this video today! Thank you! I have been so stuck and the last 2 months have been brutal. This gave me more perspective. Thank you I can do relate!! 🙏🏻❤️
I’m excited for the all things koze rebrand! ❤️❤️ I feel like it’s an amazing time for it too ❤️❤️ we’ve all grown so much together, it’s like taking the koze community to our next level 😃😃
It hurts to see you let go of the Koze because someone else’s bigger brand. You have done so much and you are a GEM of a person. The definition of grace, high road, and being so strong. It’s breaks my heart that you have to rebrand because of the other influencer - who I’m extremely disappointed in. I’m not in the business of bashing other ppl let alone another woman. However I think her team either failed to do research or she took advantage of a smaller brand. Whatever the case I’ll not be supporting her Koze brand - and will no longer be purchasing her brands. This coffee talk - was so good because although it’s truly messed up what’s going on - I will say this. You don’t need to attach yourself to all things Koze because you are all things Koze even if you have to rebrand your business. You are an amazing human being and I’ve been a silent supporter for years but I’m coming out to make sure you get my business and I share that with ppl in my circle. Thank you for this coffee talk because I was in a battle of I liked jaclyn and her makeup and jewelry like and liked her as a person despite what others said and have followed you both for years. When I saw her come out with Koze I was in almost disbelief like there’s no way - and she trademarked it? Why couldn’t she do like Kim with Skims and apologize? Or heck, even change the spelling so it didn’t interfere with your brand. But for someone whose willing to do that - and not care? I know she must know what is going on and she hasn’t said anything about it? It doesn’t feel right and I have to vote with money and no longer support Jaclyn’s brand. But you got my vote for whatever you brand with, know that your followers will be with you and that the elegant way that you handled this is in a level of its own. Supporting you queen.
Such a great coffee talk, lots of things that I’ve been thinking about and trying to figure out and you just have this AMAZING way of phrasing things and bringing them together. My stomach dropped when I saw the other channel’s launch video’s cover photo. It’s just so similar and shocking. I can only imagine how that must feel! Im positive great things are ahead for you nonetheless as you said ❤
