This is just the beginning for her and her kids living a life full of abundance.

Hey everyone, welcome to this week's episode. I am so happy and so proud of all the recent weddings and engagements I've come across over the last couple of months. I'm one of those people that loves love especially when it's real love.  On the other hand, I've also seen a lot of couples bring things to an end and even divorce. I've never been married which is why I became curious about what it takes to have a successful marriage and what it takes to be a wife and not just a bride.  This week our guest is Kratia Franco of KayKouture Bridal Boutique. I connected with Kratia a few years ago through a Facebook group and we've been connected since. More about Kratia Kratia also known as Kay Kay (a childhood nickname) is a 35 years old wife of 8 years, and a mother to 6 almost 7 beautiful children. Some of her favorite things to do are spend time with her family and hang out at the local Starbucks while enjoying her favorite cup of coffee  (Blonde Expresso) while reading a good self-help book. Kratia started Kay Kouture Bridal in 2016 with the urge of wanting to create her own business so she would have the ability to be home with her children and not miss any of their milestones while raising them. She also wanted to provide something that honored God and also empower women. She has always been a lover of all things beautiful like fresh flowers, weddings, beautiful decor, pretty journals, etc which is what ultimately led her to open her gift and favor shop. Over the years she gained a divine interest in celebrating women throughout their engagement process. She loves providing products to her customers that help them celebrate their journey in becoming a Mrs. The biggest goal that she's set for herself is to simply break the barriers that have been put on mothers and women. Motherhood in itself is a job, but there many women like herself that were born with a true desire to create, invent, and trailblaze to the top. She has always been a very goal-oriented kind of girl and she refuses to believe that when you become a mother, your dreams, goals, and desires have to come to an end. She believes in breaking strongholds and generational curses off of her bloodline and re-defining what a mothers should look like in the business world.

This week I had the opportunity to chat with another Chicago Native and social media expert Michelle Thames. What most people don't know is there is a strategy running your business via social media which includes more than just posting your products. 

Realistically speaking at lease 1/3 of my income from my business is made just by social media, or from individuals who found me using Instagram. This is why it was extremely important to bring an expert to the show.
