Welcome to Episode 1 Season 2 with Christina Kroeker! In this episode Christina and I discuss the journey to get to know yourself in order to create systems and processes to enjoy life and free up mind space!

Here's a bit about Christina:

I am a creative turned solopreneur. Photography was my entry into both the creative realm and the business realm as an adult, but I’ve been using creative modalities to explore and express myself since I was old enough to hold a pencil. I can’t imagine a life that doesn’t include artistic expression and so it was a necessity that I leverage my inspiration to create the life I want.

Ten years into my business, Christina W. Kroeker Creative, my creativity and my business acumen are so intertwined that one cannot exist without the other. I use my creativity to build this business, which in turn supports the art I want to put out into the world.

My business has never been just about the money; it is about creating a better life, creating a better me, and creating a better world. This means that my business is built on a foundation of core values that inform and direct the decisions I make for my business from daily operations to marketing. Entrepreneurship has offered me a freedom that other career paths couldn’t; the freedom to meld together my passion and purpose.

I believe that the world needs imaginative, intuitive, and impatient creative minds that are grounded in their values and have the capacity they need to create the life they want. This is where a new era of Christina W. Kroeker Creative has come in. I want to coach other creatives who are ready to create their way into a better world.

When you first start a business or start out as an entrepreneur, everybody feels the compulsion to give you advice - whether they're business owners or not.

This week I chat with Leilah Perchaluk, founder and driving force of Knew House, about how she’s handled both solicited and unsolicited opinions of those around us as she’s built her business.

🔑  ABOUT GUEST LEILAH PERCHALUK:

Leilah Perchaluk is a passionate entrepreneur who has found herself in industries that she never thought possible. Leilah is the Founder and driving force of Knew House, a private members club for female entrepreneurs and executives. Her mission is to make entrepreneurship less lonely for women through deep and trusted connection. 

Looking back, it’s easy for her to connect the dots and see her experiences align with where she went next. But, moving through her journey from archaeology to insurance, and now to female entrepreneurship support, it didn’t always feel like things were going according to plan. Her unique abilities in event planning, marketing, and relationship building has allowed her to trust her gut, go against the grain, and share her passion of business, and connection with countless individuals. 

In her free time, Leilah volunteers her time as a Board Member for the DASCH Foundation, and the Balmoral Hall Foundation. She spends time with her family, friends, exploring her downtown neighborhood, and watching drama unfold on Real Housewives.
