Today we’d like to introduce you to Kimberly Kapes.
Hi Kimberly, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I have a confession to make. For years, I was caught up in the stress, speed and to-do lists that come with daily life in corporate America. I missed the beauty and awe that fills our world. When I evaluated what mattered, I discovered that personal experiences and meaningful connections elevated my feelings of joy more than anything else. Not frantic schedules and endless deadlines. I realized that if I didn’t consciously cultivate my own life experience, I would risk having my life dominated by the demands of what our society thinks of as “normal.” By slowing down, I experienced the world and felt the joy that comes from bringing happiness to others. And through that, I boosted my resilience and wellbeing. It gave me strength and energy to get back to my lifelong dreams. Dreams to change the world one person at a time by sprinkling a little happiness through creating meaningful moments for others. When you reclaim purpose and joy, it feels like coming home after a long journey. And when I “came home,” I was motivated by the passion of creating something more than a bottom-line business.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No, we definitely had a few bumps in the road. Given we launched our company in the middle of a pandemic, we were faced with the difficulty of getting to know our community and clients behind closed doors. That presented some challenges for us and forced us to think of alternate networking methods.
