Empowered Women – Volume 7

May 22, 2019

This week I’m introducing you to someone who I met recently at a blogging conference. Christy and I were both sitting in the hallway outside the first session of the day that was geared toward “first timers.” The class was meant to teach us how to get the most out of the conference. The class was great and I think we were both excited to have met our first friend of the conference to put us at ease. Christy and I ran into each other throughout the next few days and each time we saw each other it was like seeing an old friend. Everyone, I’d like you to meet Christy…

Empowered Women Christy

Tell us a little bit about YOU:

I’m a professional organizing mom-to-2 boys ages 5 and 7 who loves to try new food, see new places and go, go, go! I truly thrive on experience and it drives the way I eat, the way I travel and the way I parent. My favorite place to visit is Paris. My favorite food is fresh baked bread. And my favorite thing to do with my kids introduce them to something new.

I thrive on inspirational quotes. Please share one of your favorites or a mantra that you live by:

Leap and your net will appear ~ John Burroughs… I read this in the book “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron when I was in college over 20 years ago and it has stuck with me all this time. And I have to say, it hasn’t failed me yet. Change or trying something new can be so scary but so rewarding.

Favorite triumph, collaboration or something you’ve experienced that you are proud of:

I am quite proud of starting my own business which is celebrating 10 years this year. I have seen a huge increase and solopreneurs in recent years. It struck me one day that I just woke up one day and decided to start a business. This was before social media made it easier to tell people who you are and what you do. Before online classes made it easier to figure out how to send an email newsletter or edit a YouTube video. Not that it is ever easy to strike out on your own, but I am grateful and proud of those early years I spent bootstrapping and learning by trial and error.

Christy and family

Biggest disappointment or let down that you’ve learned from:

I was married the first time in my early twenties for 6 years. As the oldest child of parents who have been married over 40 years, I felt like I was a huge let down when I couldn’t love my way into a happy marriage. I learned so much about myself in a relationship and myself on my own from going through this experience at a young age. It has helped to shape the way I am in my marriage now and the way I parent my children. And it has given me a better understanding of myself. Someone once asked if I regret getting married and divorcing young. I honestly answered “no”. I have no doubt I would not be the wife and mother I am today without that experience…I really like who I am today.

Favorite piece of advice for others (life, blogger, influencer or family, etc):

Presence will last longer than presents… I personally strive to collect experiences over things. I am so grateful for the travel and life experience I have had up to this point. I look forward to sharing more with my children. I don’t just encourage people to declutter their lives so they can have cleaner rooms. I want them to spend less time cleaning up toys and more time playing at the park. I truly believe those experiences make our lives so much richer.

    Stacie,
    I started out reading your posts on clean beauty and 5 Anti-Aging Skincare Myths, They are both excellent and filled with great information. From there, I decided to click on Empowered Women. I LOVE your Empowered Women series!! Your support of other women is inspiring.
    The power we have as individuals is limited. But together…..the possibilities are limitless.
    Thank you for making me smile today.

Don’t you love the feeling of buying the perfect Don’t you love the feeling of buying the perfect piece of clothing that makes you feel comfortable, confident and carefree? 

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

Comment SHOP for the link to this carefree outfit with sizing details.💖

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

Happy Monday Fun Day! Wishing you a relaxing day o Happy Monday Fun Day! Wishing you a relaxing day off or a safe journey if you're traveling. 

I'm excited to share with you my latest obsession - Lysse New York! Their clothing’s won me over with its beauty, quality and comfort.

I’m petite at 5’1” and these cropped length pants fit me great, along with their tops. The brand is eco friendly using recycled materials in many of their products. Very cool!

This wide leg style is a favorite of mine. Are you a fan too?

Let me know if you want links and sizing info.💖

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️

Who else is ready for Summer?😎👙🍉🌻👗⛱️🧴☀️

There’s just something about the long slow days and nights of summer that brings back so many fond memories over the past 60 years.

Next week is Memorial Day weekend which I think officially kicks off the season with outdoor bbqs, swimming all day, popsicles, sundresses and sleeveless tops, beach days, vacations and unfortunately, mosquitoes.

What’s one of your favorite summer memories?🥰

entire outfit is @soft_surroundings
