Crystal has spent decades bound by what other people thought of her, and kept her dreams to herself for fear of what others would say if she dared to share them out loud. She knew down deep in my soul she was created to BE more, but I was afraid, so she believed the lie that she wasn't good enough. On the contrary, she has now decided to dig deep, focus on the desires of her heart, and create the life she deserved. Crystal has decided to accept, appreciate, and celebrate the woman God created her to be, and fulfilled her purpose of leading other women to that same discovery within themselves. In this podcast, we will share her journey of leaving a lucrative corporate job to venture into entrepreneurship to do what she loves to do -- which is to empower women to be the best versions of themselves by letting God lead them through all of their journeys in life. We talked very candid about living in your purpose, getting uncomfortable, and just letting go of all your fears to live your life with great meaning and intention. She also shares her love for God and how she allows Him to lead and guide her actions and life processes. She thanks Him for all the lessons that she has experienced -- which has shown her the path to fulfill her dreams. She expressed how those lessons equipped her with the knowledge, experience, and most of all, the power to change her reality.
