She's Crafted To Thrive

I am so excited to have Alicia Chester, founder of Our Southern Gentleman on the show. She is a seamstress, a maker of kids' accessories. She really encourages little boys and just little kids to act and dress like gentlemen and little ladies, and I totally love her vibe! If you've ever felt like you're trying to do all the things that everyone says that you're supposed to do and how you're supposed to do it but feel like #allthethings are not working…. Then you’ll love this conversation.So what I love about this conversation is that Alicia unapologetically embraces doing what works for her. She has tapped into the power of what creativity looks like for her, she’s embracing her unique ability to create with guidelines but then find her way and create her way of doing things. She’ll share what this looks in life and business and how it’s helped her to create a beautiful business that is unique, one of a kind, and truly taps into her creative zone of genius. So if you want to tap into

As an introduction to our new collaboration series with The Handmade Seller Magazine, it was totally an absolute must to feature the woman and founder behind the community, Dani. Dani describes herself as always being artsy, crafty, and having a love of the handmade industry. From there she thought, what if we just had a place where everybody could share their stories and you could say that’s where the makings of the Handmade Seller Magazine started. It's like a monthly piece of comfort, that you can open every month and drink with your favorite cup of tea and read about other handmade sellers who are doing what you want to do.Show Notes found at- www.shescrafted.comSend Me A Text & Share Your QA's or ThoughtsSupport the showLoved this episode?

Our featured guest today is Julie Paisley, photographer and pivot coach. In this episode she shares her journey from teacher to photographer and now pivot coach. Y'all this is not like any other conversation you’ve heard from someone who’s literally been at the top 2% of their industry. You'll be refreshed to know that you're not alone in the struggle no matter where you are in your journey. I don't know about you but it's too often that when I listen to others success stories it seems all glitz and glam with maybe only a couple bumps in the road. I can promise you that this is NOT one of those conversations. Julie gets real and raw about the emotional and physical toll of what running a creative business in hustle mode was like for her. From being featured on the front page of People to pivoting into a mainly education model Julie shares her gratitude and lessons learned in her journey so far.Show NotesCheckout our New She's Crafted Insiders Resource for female creative entrepre

Mindset is an incredibly powerful tool. It is the driving force behind the actions and behaviors which will set us up for success or keep us fearful and unsure about the future. Depending on which mindset we adopt, our perspectives will be very different. The path of abundance has us looking at the world through a lens of optimism and gratitude. However, with a scarcity mindset, all we see are obstacles, problems, and no way out.Show notes: www.shescrafted.comSend Me A Text & Share Your QA's or ThoughtsSupport the showLoved this episode?

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

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. She wants peopl
