#303: Transforming Pain Into Purpose with Kelly Kussman

Kelly Kussman is the owner, designer, and vision behind Cayla Gray.  She started her career in fragrance and buying for a major department store, where she fell in love with the distinctive nature of scents and their ability to make memories tangible. 

In 2017, Kelly and her husband faced the tragic loss of their first baby, who she planned to name Cayla Gray. After struggling with another ectopic pregnancy, Kelly wanted to create a legacy that not only honoured the beauty and heartbreak of this bittersweet experience but also fueled her personal passion for fragrance.  From this desire, the Cayla Gray collection was born.

In this episode we discuss:

1)How loss, experiences and challenges can prepare us for creating the businesses we are meant to create. 
2) What it was like to launch a brand new physical product business during a global pandemic and how incredible the experience can be.
3) Kelly’s experience with the launch of her business and the number of entrepreneurs who stepped up to support, collaborate and help her with the launch of her business.
4) Turning moments into memories is possible when we learn to slow down and live in the present moments.
