Get to know the radiant Candis Hickman!

Check out her episode to learn how she was able to move past her fears and activate her MAGIC.

Meet Kristie Jorfald! Kristie Jorfald grew up in a multicultural family with three very unique priorities—language, culture and diversity were continuously the focus of her upbringing. Kristie’s professional career started while she was attending the University of Colorado at Boulder.

After 10 years of incredible career opportunities and higher learning experiences, Kristie decided to take a leap of faith and pursue her ultimate dream of starting her own personal styling business. As of August 2016, Kristie Jorfald Personal Stylist came to life and their mission is to teach women how to shop for their shape and build self-confidence through wardrobe styling.

Sharokina Pazand is not only our first guest for the Creative Women’s Co. Podcast, she is our new host! We are so excited that Sharokina (Shar as we all affectionately know her) is the new voice and host for our podcast’s third season, and we cannot wait to share with you all our new guests.
Who is Sharokina Pazand? She is owner and creator of the women’s coworking space, Citygirlatwork. The idea for Citygirl At Work started when she looked around at her events office one day and realized it had a bigger purpose. She had always shared the space for workshops and events but never really thought it would be a place people to gather until she had that “a ha” moment – that thought that, yeah, this really could be the place to gather and feel comfortable learning, growing, meeting others, and – letting people just be themselves. Learn about her journey to creating Citygirlatwork, and through her infectious enthusiasm, you may be co-working at her cozy and beautiful space too!

by Sharokina Pazand | Creative Women's Co. Podcast

 Sharokina Pazand is really passionate about a few things: People, business ideas/strategy, dreaming, love, and helping others find their why. Why do we get up to do what we do every day? What allows us to dream and continue to reach for the sky? What is our purpose in life and how to we find it and hold on and grow it? How do we do everything with love? She feels so lucky that in her daily life she gets to meet people like you and work with you to help create more amazing things in this world together.

Emily Merrel, Chief Networker and Founder of Six Degrees Society, has a positive, can-do spirit that is infectious. She has always loved having a side-hustle, and always feels like she needs to be constantly creating and doing more! Since she was a kid she had a creative, mini-entrepreneur spirit. One summer she sold jewelry to earn money to donate to the Humane Society; even at a young age, she was showing the philanthropic business woman she would become. Emily’s idea for Six Degrees Society came to her while working in the fashion industry. She dreamt up a place where individuals could come together from all industries, all backgrounds and show up who they are. And from there Six Degrees Society was born! Tune in to find out more about Emily Merrel’s stumbles and strides towards developing Six Degree Society, what it takes to foster a community of bad-ass members, and how you can become an Ambassador in your own city!
