Joy Found Here

Do you have a self-care system in place? How do you expect your business to thrive if you don't care for your physical, emotional, and spiritual health? Remember, your business will only be as good as YOU are. 

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Kristina Rowland, Income Strategist, World Traveler, Manifesting Mentor, and Serial Entrepreneur obsessed with systems and efficiency. After a frustrating and disappointing experience in the corporate world, Kristina decided to disembark in entrepreneurship and burn the boats; she would never return.

Do you know the difference between running a business and owning your job?

In This Episode, I'm so excited to be joined by the amazing Carolyn Boldt. Carolyn is the Co-founder of CrossFields Interiors & Architecture, where she also acts as VP and Director of Design. Several unfortunate events with traditional medicine made her look for options, and she found alternative medicine.
