Let us know in this quick survey! Quotes that stood out:“I just love hearing people's stories. Everybody has something different to say even though you know, their stories can be very similar, but very, very different at the same time.”“That's what makes us cool individuals is that we all do suffer. And we all do shine and sharing both sides of that, I think is really important.”“Anytime I get freaked out, it's like, let's come to the why, why? Why are you doing this? Because you hate it? No, because you love it. And when you come back to that love, it kind of washes away the fear.”“We do have some choice in the matter. We choose if we want to live in fear, if we want to live in love. And choosing that love path doesn't mean it's easy, doesn't mean you're not going to have bad days or hard days or hard times. But you do have that choice.”“I just really feel like as a female working in the music industry, or any industry, see yourself as an equal and move through it as an equal. And when you have that mindset, I just really feel like there's no limitations, and there's no blocks. And don't ever let yourself think you can't do something because you're female, don't think you're not good enough. Don't think you don't have enough strength or support or, or any of those things. I think just put your boss hat on and go after it.”“You can’t have a manager until you know how to manage yourself.” ResourcesCan’t Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation by Anne Helen PetersenThe Goddes Nest by Ananda Cait CarverTwo Turns from Zero by Stacey GriffithGoal Digger Podcast - Jenna KutcherMarie Forleo PodcastWhere to Find CrystalCrystal’s Website: www.crystalmcgrath.caInstagram: @crystalmcgrathFacebook: @crystalmcgrathmusicBroken Glass MediaWebsite: www.brokenglassmediallc.comBlog: www.brokenglassmediallc.com/thebrokenglassblogInstagram: @brokenglassmediaTwitter: @brokenglassblogFacebook: @brokenglassmediallc*These notes contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link here.

You are your only competition. And the women around you that are doing the same thing as you, they're your allies, like you're all on the same team.”“It's just really important to not be threatened by the people in your city or in your community that are doing the same things.” ResourcesWomen in Music NashvilleThe Alchemist by Paulo CoelhoWho Moved My Cheese by Spencer JohnsonUnlocking Us Podcast by Brenee Brown The Naked Vocalist Podcast Where to find KendraInstagram: @kendrachantelleTwitter: @kendrachantelleFacebook: @kendrachantellemusicLinktr.ee: Kendra’s Pofiles Broken Glass MediaWebsite: www.brokenglassmediallc.comBlog: www.brokenglassmediallc.com/thebrokenglassblogInstagram: @brokenglassmediaTwitter: @brokenglassblogFacebook: @brokenglassmediallc*This post contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link on this blog.
