A Behind the Scenes Look at My Sacred Business Journey

Want to know how I started out on my sacred business journey as a Crystal Healer & Teacher?   I get so many students asking me to share my story of how I started my healing business. So this week I'm sharing a special behind the scenes look at my sacred business journey, how I got started and how I got to where I am today. I know so many of my Love & Light students are on their own paths to creating beautiful, sacred businesses. But many of you are on the fence about whether you should follow you heart and take your business full-time. It can be so scary sometimes, but I want to encourage you with my own personal sacred business success story. I'm here to tell you - the world needs you to share YOUR special gifts! You have to follow your heart and the clues from the universe... Healing work is what you are meant to do - that's what the signs are telling you. You can listen in to the podcast above, or watch a special video interview below where I share my story. Enjoy!   Interview: Kelly: Hi everybody and welcome! Today we've got Ashley Leavy with us and she is the founder of the Love & Light School of Crystal Therapy. Hi Ashley, welcome! Ashley: Hi Kelly! Thanks so much for having me. Kelly: Thanks for being here. I've been really looking forward to this interview. Ashley: Me too. I know we’ve had it planned for a little while, and I’m just so excited to dive in today and share with everyone. Kelly: Yeah, great. So tell us a little bit about your story and how this all came about for you. I know you’ve got this amazing school now. How did you get from where you started to what you are doing now? Ashley: You know, if I look back I never ever would have guessed where things were going to take me. It was one of those things where I was really just, sort of, kind of, following the doors of the universe opening for me, following the breadcrumbs, so to speak, from one thing to the next.  And I'm so happy that I, kind of, listened to those little gentle nudges that I was getting because I couldn't have asked to be in a better, happier place in my life and in my business. So, for me this journey really started all the way back when I was a little girl... I was always interested in crystals and I would spend a lot of time with my grandfather, and he had a really large mineral collection. We'd sit in his study and he'd show me different things about the crystals and tell me about them and that was a really special time for me. You know of course when I became a teenager I got a little too cool for that stuff and, kind of, took a step back from it. It was really in my early twenties that I started to kind of reconnect and rediscover that part of myself and found that I was really looking for some deeper spiritual meaning in my life. I had done quite a bit of self-study up until that point, learning what I could from books and from, kind of, scouring all corners of the internet.  And it wasn't until 2007 that I actually took my first professional crystal healing training with an instructor. And that was a huge transformational moment in my life! Because I finally got to really experience what it was like to learn about crystals, to share about them in a group setting, and it was, kind of, that fork-in-the-road moment for me. Because I had actually been finishing up my degree at the University of Wisconsin in botany. I had a degree in horticulture, but there was a lot of, kind of, family and societal pressure to go do something that was going to make more money.  So everyone said, you know, go back to school, do the botany degree. So I was kind of on this path to something that didn't really resonate with me at a soul level. I mean, it was kind of like,
