Kayla Gorski doesn’t just tell a story – she finds the one that makes you feel something. For two decades, she worked the agency side of communications, building PR-driven campaigns that elbow their way into the cultural conversation for some of the world’s biggest brands, ranging from Corona and Meta to Snoop Dogg, Bobby Flay and more. If a brand had something worth saying, Kayla was usually the one figuring out how to make people care.

Ask what’s shaped her most, and she won’t point to a campaign – she’ll point to home in Montana, where nature does most of her best teaching. She’s a proud public landowner who’d rather be on a trail with her dog, in a river, or planning a trip around something she wants to eat (ask her about Japan). In addition to collaborating with Elizabeth at Imperfectly Honest, she shares musings and stories that linger long after the last bite on Dish + Tell, her own podcast and Substack. Both Imperfectly Honest and Dish + Tell run on the same instinct that has driven her career: a belief that honest, well-told stories make us feel more alive, and a refusal to settle for the comfortable version when the true one is more interesting. She lives by a simple credo – what’s meant for you will find you – and she’ll absolutely tell you the best thing she ate this week, unprompted.
