She's Crafted To Thrive

In this episode, our guest is Kate Crocco, an MSW,(Master of Social Work) LCSW (Licensed clinical social workers), is a psychotherapist, confidence and mindset coach, and writer author of, "Thinking Like a Boss". Often as in our journey to reach the goals we aspire to, our mindset and beliefs can make it difficult for us to reach them. In her new book, Kate shares 12 lies that we all may at some point believe that hold us back from where we want to go. And one of my favorite chapters is Lie #3 “I’m not qualified”. On the show, we talk about this one and a few others and how to overcome them. Kate shares with us how to build success in life and business by taking one step at a time. One of my favorite quotes from Kate in this chat is, “Every Step was scary & difficult but they were built on each other”. Yes to this and many more mic drop moments throughout the show.

Decisions and Confidence are essential aspects of growing a business. They are also two of the reasons so many of us get stuck because we feel like we don't have enough... But I challenge all of us to take time to reflect on whether that belief is true? Ask ourselves where did that come from? So many times we are looking for the answers to why we haven't found confidence or made decisions because we are looking to external things, but what I have found is the experiences we have in our lives often color our beliefs. We ignore them or brush them as if they have little consequence to our daily life but they are often the reasons why we find it hard for us to take the leap into decision making and confidence. In this episode, I share with you how my negative experiences while wearing headwraps almost made me lose my confidence in sharing my unique story.  If you like this episode and others and are looking for a place to learn and grow please join me inside my New Private Facebook Group Craft Your Clar

In this episode, our guest is Lara Ley, an indie singer, and songwriter based in Germany. I personally love music in many different genres, it’s played a big part in my life and I know that I’m not alone. Music is a Creative language that speaks to everyone in some way.  So I’m so excited to have to Lara on the show as the first music creator. Her music is relatable and has a neo-soul vibe. I’m a true believer that we can all learn from different yet similar creative outlets to grow a better and more diverse business. In this episode, Lara will share her journey to songwriting and singing. We also talk about how she’s learned to create even when fear is present and how that mindset has served in her success.

With a heavy heart, a loss of words, and yet so many words to say, I start this episode first by addressing what is obviously happening in the world that seems new but has always been by sharing a few words on how I feel about the injustice we are seeing more clearly in the news. It's brief and to the point. Then I pop into sharing 6 Ways To Help You Get From Where You Are To Where You Want To Be in Your Business and Life. While we strive to make our dreams come true, concentrating, also, on ourselves and our journey is where the growth begins. When you spend less time wishing things were different and more time accepting what you've got, (contentment) you've already found a sense of peace and happiness right there.  In this episode, I'll share some tips that can help you become who you want to be right now.For Show Notes, www.shescrafted.comSend Me A Text & Share Your QA's or ThoughtsSupport the showLoved this episode?

There’s a foundation to creating a thriving business and it starts with a healthy version of both body, mind and lifestyle. That’s why I am so excited to have Angel Scott on She's Crafted To Thrive Podcast. She’s a nationally Certified Personal Trainer, Holistic Nutritionist, and Lifestyle Expert. Having lived a very active lifestyle her whole life, Angel was kind of taken by surprise with an Autoimmune disease diagnosis in 2016. Looking back she realized she excused away a few red flags that could have alerted her to act sooner. With a new perspective on her health, the focus was not just on nutrition and movement but now more than ever, lifestyle. This made her take a hard look at her friends, family, business clients, and everything in-between. If they were not healthy vibes, they had to go. With over 90% of illnesses caused by stress, Angel got inspired to make the changes needed to adjust to her new reality. She’s on a mission to show women that lifestyle directly affects our health.

If you have felt alone, stuck or overwhelmed, then this episode is for you. In life, we all experience so many different life hurdles and in this episode we talk about just one of them, chronic illness. There are so many women that are affected by endometriosis and it has been my goal to share the journey and the faces behind statics of 1 in 10. What does 1 in 10 mean, well one in ten women are diagnosed with endometriosis. I am sure this ratio would be even more shocking if more of us spoke up and shared our pain. There is a stigma around women and our reproductive systems, which is ridiculous, considering mankind would not be here without it. But I digress, this is not a social problem I’m trying to bring light to, my goal is to help women who are suffering in the shadow, Know that you can be heard and know they are not alone. I know once I started to share my journey with living with Endometriosis, is when I started to get the help and support I needed. There is no shame in chronic illness, it is not our f
