In this episode, I sit down with the extremely talent, GIVING and inspiring: Kristin Bentley.

I cannot even start to explain my passion for this woman and her work! Kristin is someone that will blow your mind with her incredible stories, her purpose and her intentionality behind everything she does. I knew that she was an amazing human prior to our conversation, but after talking with her, I am BEYOND impressed!

Kristin is the founder and CEO of her company: Elisely Publishing and she also runs her other business called the Teen Creative. Elisely Publishing provides publishing services, branding & content strategy and offers masterclasses for aspiring authors. Her other business the Teen Creative is a community designed to mentor middle school and high school students throughout the nation, as they step into their creativity and leadership personas.

Kristin is truly a writing and branding expert who has been in the writing industry for over 20 years! She has had experience as a journalist, has been recognized as an award winning editor and also has background as a marketing executive.

Coming from both the entrepreneur space, coupled with her business knowledge, Kristin brings us some of the most valuable content we can feast our ears upon as it pertains to the power of creativity and sharing stories.

A few of my take-away’s from our conversation:

1. Creating an open environment allows people to be more creative, thus attaching more meaning to the work that we do.
2. The best speakers and leaders are those that are in line with those things that they are most personally passionate about.
3. Now more than ever, we need to hear the stories about our lives. We all have a story inside of us and someone out there needs to hear it.
4. Sharing your creative passion and your story somehow is what helps the healing process and allows others the space to say “me too”.

Thank you so much for listening, and a huge shoutout to Kristin and her organizations for all that they are doing for others, and the world!
