Show notes
Our sister and BFF, Kelly Brabants Gallo, is back for part two—and this one is for the BBB girls.
In part one, we talked about motherhood, marriage, and navigating grief after losing her daughter, Celine. So many of you sent us and Kelly the most heartfelt messages about what that conversation meant to you. Knowing it helped someone feel a little less alone is exactly why we do this.
This week, we’re getting into the story behind the collection Kelly never gave up on. If you’ve been wearing Booty by Brabants since the Not Your Average Basic days, you already know how special this fabric is. But what you haven’t heard is everything it took to bring it back.
Kelly opens up about manufacturing setbacks, the financial risks of running a small business, and trying to keep going when her personal world had fallen apart. She shares why she put the collection on hold, what changed behind the scenes, and how she finally got to a place where she could stand behind every detail. We also get into the fit, sizing, new silhouettes, and why we’ve been wearing these pieces on repeat.
Whether you’re building something of your own or have been a BBB customer for years, this conversation gives you a real look at the person—and the persistence—behind the clothes. We’re so proud of her.
And please stay until the end. Kelly’s husband joins us for a rapid-fire round that turns into a conversation about marriage, working parenthood, and learning how to ask each other for help. There’s football, a chicken cutlet story, and a thank-you to the BBB community that had all of us emotional. The most special way to close out these two episodes.
