  • Have you ever heard the expression “you can’t have the rainbow without the rain?” Today you’ll meet a very special guest and hear about how she has created her very own incredible rainbow!

    At just 10 years old, Lily leads Lily Lou's Aroma's, a business dedicated to creating eco-friendly self-care products with delightful scents. From scented candles to wax melts, essential oils, and perfumes, each item is meticulously made with sustainable and cruelty-free ingredients, ensuring a delightful experience while honoring our planet.

    But Lily's vision extends beyond creating exceptional products. Inspired by her passion for giving back, Lily Lou's Aroma's actively supports various charities and advocates against bullying. This commitment to making a positive impact stems from Lily's upbringing and her unwavering dedication to creating a better world.

    Lily's journey began before the pandemic when she embarked on a homeschooling project that ignited her passion for crafting sustainable goods. Her love for experimentation and facing new challenges transformed a hobby into a thriving business, driven by her entrepreneurial spirit and desire to effect change.

    Lily’s story is such an inspiring one, and if you have children, you should share this episode with them. Boys, girls, everyone needs to hear her message about bullying, and Lily is an example that it is never too young to start in business if your child has an entrepreneurial spirit as well. I’m so proud of what Lily has accomplished (so far!) and I cannot wait to see where she’s going next. To learn even more about Lily and her business, makes sure to visit her Instagram, @lilylousaromas. If you enjoyed this episode, let her know and tag me in too, @jillkalmaninteriors!

  • Today, I want to talk about what I was frustrated by with design. The intimidation, the overwhelm, the thought that design services are expensive (and more!) is what I’ve heard for years, but a few years back I had a lightbulb moment and embraced online and virtual design services, or “E-design.” In this episode, you’re not only going to hear about my pivot to this business model and why I wanted to do it, but the amazing Molly Cody is with me to share her thoughts on why E-design is here to stay!

    Molly Cody is ranked as one of Kansas City’s top-8 interior designer. She has a wealth of experience in real estate, remodeling, short-term rentals, interior furnishing and styling. With her expertise in e-design, she has successfully serviced clients in over 13 states.

    Molly’s passion for interiors began at a young age, as she purchased her first house at 24 and went on to own property in 4 states by the age of 30. Her interior showmanship and minor cosmetic upgrades resulted in one of her personal homes selling for $100k more than the original purchase price. She is intentional in her designs, putting function first and incorporating neutrals and cohesion in every project. Her current passion project is a short-term rental in eastern TN to be called "Turtle Dove Treehouse".

    Whether you are a designer, homeowner or real estate investor, I hope you enjoyed this episode with Molly and that it helped explain why E-design is a such a viable way to design a home!
