122 Here comes the bride: The owner of 2 boutique retail stores gives us the real scoop!

LET’S GET TO KNOW TODAY’S GUEST, KRYSTAL DARLING!   She is a Mama, a kick-ass entrepreneur of not 1 but 2 businesses, and she’s a lover of all things fashion - like seriously, her style is amazing and I wish I had her wardrobe. I first connected with Krystal while searching for my dream wedding dress - a quest that took me all the way to Bracebridge Ontario, since I knew her shop had the exact dress that I was searching for. It was so serendipitous & it just so happened, Dave and I had chosen a wedding venue just a few minutes away from the shop, as well. My experience working with Krystal was nothing short of amazing. She made the whole experience super comfortable and enjoyable - especially for someone like me, who barely ever gets out of her lululemons and tank tops. With an eye for unique and beautiful pieces -  owning two boutique businesses is not just Krystal’s job, it's her passion. She also owns a shop called Belle's Boutique, which is a carefully curated clothing shop that offers an array of exclusive fashion brands for women. Also, might I point out that Krystal and I recorded this just days before she gave birth to her 2nd baby boy, Watson. Congrats, Krystal! In this episode, we chat about… How she’s been able to build something so much greater than just a retail store The challenges she faced in starting a clothing business in a small & seasonal town Why she decided to launch her second business, Darling Bridal Boutique in addition to owning & running Belle’s Boutique Importance of partnerships, collaboration  & getting involved in your community & so much more   CONNECT WITH KRYSTAL https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdCy7zlcoq/ http://www.darlingbridalmuskoka.com/ https://www.instagram.com/bellesboutiquemuskoka/ https://shopbellesboutique.com/   LINKS MENTIONED IN THE SHOW Fire & Ice Bracebridge Falls Bracebridge hiking trails Kala House of Colour (also a Visionary Life Podcast guest) Sully’s Muskoka (try the fish tacos!)
