Cypress with Cass Willis

What if the right outfit could shift your energy… and make your whole day? That’s exactly what happened to me one evening in Mill Valley, while on a "restless toddler" evening stroll. I wandered into Cypress—a color-forward, joy-filled shop that instantly lit me up. The woman working there even pointed me to a secret toddler play nook so I could browse in peace. I left thinking, “Who dreamed up this place?!” In today’s episode, you’ll hear about Cass from Cypress and her adventuresome path from art and travel to the world of retail. Most recently, Cass teamed up to open Cypress, a store where people feel confident, beautiful, and truly seen, sometimes in pieces they never expected to love. If you’re inspired, come join Cass and I on January 15th, 2026 at Cypress for Declare your North Star: A New Year intention-setting workshop.

This is just a simulation (Kathryn Flaschner)

Listen as Kyla & Kathryn practice Waveflow together! Kathryn is an incredible storyteller. We met a few years ago- Kathryn was a teacher where I was practicing yoga at Baptiste Power Yoga in San Francisco, and since then I’ve been so proud to witness her make bold career moves and life changes. Kathryn hosts a podcast, The Truth Is, which is linked in the notes- you'll love it! Together we reflected on the ‘third spaces’ that feel like home to us, people who have supported us during transitional or more challenging phases of life, in what ways we are creating a sense of balance and where we hope to circle back to in life, as older and wiser versions of ourselves.
