She's Crafted To Thrive

Let’s talk about the mental mask we put on. This is mental health awareness month and I have a special guest on the show, her name is Kieara and she’s a fellow podcaster.

Kieara and I talk about our journey's with mental health, how covid19 has affected it, how positive thinking is a practice, and so much more.

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 peopl

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.
