I hope you're flourishing in your own unique way. Today, I'm opening up about a pivotal chapter in my creative journey.
A couple of years back, I was at a crossroads with my jewelry making passion.What started as a creative outlet had turned into an expensive hobby. The burden of time spent away from family, without any financial return, began to weigh heavily on me, and I was ready to call it quits. I'd even begun selling off my tools and supplies, prepared to close that chapter of my life.
The truth is, I wasn't thriving when I wasn't creating—it left an unmistakable void.
As fate would have it, I stumbled upon Tracy's Thrive by Design podcast and was introduced to the Flourish and Thrive Academy. Enrolling in her online jewelry courses wasn't just an education for me; it was a lifeline. Tracy ignited a fire beneath my creative wings, guiding me in transitioning from a maker mindset to an entrepreneur with a vision. With her insights, I learned to mold my art into a thriving business that not only supports our family but also exemplifies to my children that it's entirely possible to transform passion into a fulfilling career.
Her teachings were pivotal in reshaping my trajectory, reminding me of the endless possibilities when we channel our creative energies with purpose and direction.
Fast forward to the Momentum Retreat I attended in Arizona last week. Imagine a room, vibrant with energy, filled with creatives, artists, and dynamic women entrepreneurs. We dove deep into inner work and personal growth, all within a nurturing environment. It was electric. And meeting Tracy? Imagine connecting deeply with someone you’ve admired from afar. Her spirit, a beacon of empowerment, both humbling and invigorating.
The twist? The podcast that introduced me to Tracy's world featured me just over a year later. It was surreal. [Link to Watch the Podcast] - [Link to Listen to the Podcast] Dive into our heartfelt conversation. Perhaps it will ignite something within you too!
