The Squad Life

As soon as I saw Khloe's purple donuts I knew I had to had here on the podcast. What was not evident from her gorgeous Instagram pictures was the hurdles that Khloe had to push through in order to open the Hungry Bunny Virtual Donut Shop. From a life changing attack at a D.C. bus stop to writing her mantras over and over and over again on her 15 minute call center breaks, it was each of these obstacles that prepared Khloe to finally chase her dreams.  IG @crystalcattle www.crystalblin.com

Recently, there have been a lot of people lose prestige, clout or fame. They have fallen from grace. Jenna Kutcher and Rachel Hollis are two very influential women in my life that have pulled back the curtain on circumstances that change many people's perception of them. I dive into this, and then ask are we giving these women and others grace.  IG @crystalcattle www.crystalblin.com

Change or move on. Short and to the point, but it is quite simply what needs to happen for you to find contentment or joy in a situation. In this season we are all facing a LOT of change.

Ashley Alderson of the Boutique Hub has cultivated an incredible community that appreciates fashion, boutiques and small businesses. She is a big proponent of showing up as your true self even if that means you look different from the people around you.

This week you get all me. This past weekend I celebrated my 35th birthday. As I reflect back on what I have learned over the past 10 years there were some big lessons. I won't say regrets because the path I took got me to where I am now but now with a toolkit full of experiences I am ready for the next 10 years.  IG: @crystalcattle www.crystalblin.com
