How To Approach Your Health & Business Holistically
Business With Chronic Illness
04/03/20 • 42 min
There’s a foundation to creating a thriving business and it starts with a healthy version of both body, mind and lifestyle. That’s why I am so excited to have Angel Scott on She's Crafted To Thrive Podcast. She’s a nationally Certified Personal Trainer, Holistic Nutritionist, and Lifestyle Expert. Having lived a very active lifestyle her whole life, Angel was kind of taken by surprise with an Autoimmune disease diagnosis in 2016. Looking back she realized she excused away a few red flags that could have alerted her to act sooner. With a new perspective on her health, the focus was not just on nutrition and movement but now more than ever, lifestyle. This made her take a hard look at her friends, family, business clients, and everything in-between. If they were not healthy vibes, they had to go. With over 90% of illnesses caused by stress, Angel got inspired to make the changes needed to adjust to her new reality.
She’s on a mission to show women that lifestyle directly affects our health. She wants people to know that what we look like is not direct representation health. So tune in if you want to hear the 3 symptoms that Angel dismissed at first, that were key to her Graves disease diagnoses and learn how she’s approaching her health and business holistically.

You Are Not Alone- Faces of Endometriosis
Business With Chronic Illness
02/21/20 • 30 min
If you have felt alone, stuck or overwhelmed, then this episode is for you. In life, we all experience so many different life hurdles and in this episode we talk about just one of them, chronic illness. There are so many women that are affected by endometriosis and it has been my goal to share the journey and the faces behind statics of 1 in 10. What does 1 in 10 mean, well one in ten women are diagnosed with endometriosis. I am sure this ratio would be even more shocking if more of us spoke up and shared our pain. There is a stigma around women and our reproductive systems, which is ridiculous, considering mankind would not be here without it. But I digress, this is not a social problem I’m trying to bring light to, my goal is to help women who are suffering in the shadow, Know that you can be heard and know they are not alone. I know once I started to share my journey with living with Endometriosis, is when I started to get the help and support I needed. There is no shame in chronic illness, it is not our fault but there is hope. There is a sister, mother, grandmother, aunt, or friend who is suffering in silence and wondering how to make it through and I hope you share this with them. But if YOU are them, then my hope is that you are assured you are not alone!
I want to say a special thank you to Amber Lashawn of Brand girl magic for sharing her journey with endometriosis. After leaving her dream job with the Tampa Bay Rays because of her pain and just trying to keep up physically was impossible, endometriosis inspired her to become an entrepreneur. Having a business for herself met more control. Although her body was fighting her she knew she could still use her brain.
This episode keeps it real while we discuss the mental, emotional and physical toll that this disease can have but we also share what’s helping us cope and the mindset we’ve chosen to take to Thrive through this chronic illness.

How to build a paid digital subscription magazine & community
Business With Chronic Illness
02/05/21 • 38 min
As an introduction to our new collaboration series with The Handmade Seller Magazine, it was totally an absolute must to feature the woman and founder behind the community, Dani. Dani describes herself as always being artsy, crafty, and having a love of the handmade industry. From there she thought, what if we just had a place where everybody could share their stories and you could say that’s where the makings of the Handmade Seller Magazine started. It's like a monthly piece of comfort, that you can open every month and drink with your favorite cup of tea and read about other handmade sellers who are doing what you want to do.

10/18/24 • 27 min
In this episode, we dive into a question that's on the minds of many aspiring entrepreneurs: Can you really grow a business effortlessly? We’re surrounded by messages that make success look easy and instant, but what’s the real story behind those polished reels and highlight reels?
I’ll be sharing some hard truths about the intersection of hard work, ease, and what it really takes to build something sustainable—especially when life throws challenges your way. Whether you're questioning your own journey, dealing with personal or professional setbacks, or wondering if there's a secret to making it all feel easier, this episode will bring some much-needed clarity.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why 2024 has been one of the hardest years in my journey (and what I learned from it).
- The truth behind "effortless success" and why it’s not what it seems.
- How joy, ease, and pain can actually coexist in the process of growth.
- Why your hard work and struggles aren’t just valid—they’re essential for real, lasting success.
Tune in to hear my own reflections, aha moments, and some real talk on what growing a business truly looks like behind the scenes. Let’s rethink what “ease” really means and why your hard work and struggles matter more than you might think.
