064: Building Standard Affair: How Kira Corbin Designed Her Next Chapter
Are You Allowed to Outgrow Your Own Dream?
What if the thing you once wanted more than anything suddenly stops feeling like enough? It’s a question so many of us quietly carry, especially when we’ve built our lives around the dream. The business. The title. The identity. So… what now?
Meet Kira Corbin: Stylist, Creative, and Founder of Standard Affair
In this episode of The Savory Shot, I sat down with Kira Corbin, an incredible prop and interiors stylist with over 13 years of experience working with names like Bon Appétit, Food Network, and Pendleton. After running a beautiful retail shop and styling countless sets, Kira chose to walk away from something she loved—so she could make space for what was next. She’s now the founder of Standard Affair, a homewares brand built from her soul out.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
We talked about why it’s okay to evolve, even after you’ve “made it.” Kira shared how she learned to rest without guilt, what it means to invest in yourself, and how starting over doesn’t mean you’re lost—it means you’re listening. Her story is a reminder that clarity comes not from hustling harder, but from slowing down and asking better questions.
Listen In and Let It Land
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a life that once felt exciting, this conversation is for you. Tune into The Savory Shot and be reminded: growth is never failure.
