In the first episode of 2026, Katerina welcomes back Tiffany Teoh the founder of The Traveller Series for an honest conversation about growth, resilience, and evolution—both in life and in business. The discussion reflects on how personal transformation can directly influence leadership, decision-making, and the way a company moves forward.

Tiffany shares her decision to merge two brands into one, the importance of delegation, and why flexibility often serves entrepreneurs better than rigid long-term plans. There is a deep dive into the realities of running an e-commerce business, including understanding sales cycles, making strategic investments during slower seasons, and approaching scale with intention rather than urgency.

Throughout the conversation, the value of mentorship and community stands out, highlighting how shared support and guidance can ease the challenges of entrepreneurship and create a more sustainable path forward. At the end of the episode, Tiffany shares an exciting new chapter for the jewelry brand, including the launch of mystery boxes designed to add surprise, joy, and creativity to the customer experience!

In the final episode of From the Honeycomb for 2025, Katerina and her husband Jesse reflect on a year that brought both unexpected challenges and meaningful wins. In this honest conversation, they share what it looked like to run their businesses through shifting economic conditions, client and consultant dynamics, and increasing responsibilities—while staying grounded in purpose and discipline.

They pull back the curtain on the less-visible parts of entrepreneurship: raising fees, expanding and trusting a team, managing uncertain timelines, and navigating external pressures that impact daily decision-making. Along the way, they make space for gratitude, acknowledging the simple joys that helped anchor them through it all.

This episode is a thoughtful close to the year—rooted in reflection, resilience, and the lessons learned from uncertainty. It honors the progress made, the challenges faced head-on, and the steady commitment required to keep moving forward.

In the last guest episode of the year, Katerina sits down with landscape architect and founder of Milliman Design Studio, Emily Milliman, for an inspiring conversation about creativity, entrepreneurship, and community. Emily shares how her journey into landscape architecture began with a deep love of art and design, and how she continues to weave those passions into her work today.

Emily opens up about the importance of having a supportive community of solopreneurs and how networking through boards and local events has been key to building lasting client relationships. She discusses how balancing art and landscape architecture is an organic process and how the material she works with — nature itself — is living and ever-changing.

The conversation also explores the realities of entrepreneurship: from diversifying income streams and maintaining transparency with clients to staying flexible and adaptable through change. Emily encourages aspiring designers to start building their personal brand early and to approach design with both short and long-term goals in mind.

This episode is a thoughtful look at how creativity, connection, and adaptability shape not only our work but also the communities we grow within.

In the second episode of the Women in Architecture series, Katerina sits down with architect and business owner Liz Sydnor about her journey navigating the second year of running her own business. Liz reflects on the growth and lessons she’s experienced, including the importance of letting go of certain roles to protect her well-being and the ongoing challenge of finding balance between work and personal life.

Their conversation highlights the power of networking as more than professional connections—it’s about building genuine community and support. Liz also shares insights from her upcoming book, which is designed to empower women in architecture by opening conversations around vulnerability, authenticity, and mental health in the profession.

Together, they discuss how authenticity creates stronger relationships, why consistency matters in networking, and how embracing the realities of the profession—from showing emotion in the workplace to architecture’s influence on all aspects of design—helps foster resilience and growth.
