We had the good fortune of connecting with Crystal Elyse and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Crystal, how do you think about risk?
I can honestly say that at first, I was scared to take a risk. But when I fully trusted the process, I realized that taking the risk was exactly what was needed. It allowed my business and personal life to grow, and I was able to witness it take off in a new direction. Each risk became a stepping stone, revealing the strength I didn’t know I had. I truly believe that before taking any risk, asking the Most High for guidance is key—for with His direction, even the unknown becomes purposeful.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What truly sets me apart is the energy I pour into everything I do. I move with pure intention—not just in life, but in every part of my business. It’s such a top-tier feeling when someone compliments not only my artwork, but also the energy they feel behind it. That connection is what fuels me.

One of the things I’m most proud of is becoming a vendor on Walmart, publishing my handwritten affirmation book on Amazon, and launching my epoxy flooring business. These milestones are a reflection of consistency, faith, and trusting the vision even when it wasn’t always clear.

Consistency is the key to any business. I’ve made it to where I am by staying grounded, pushing through the challenges, and asking the Most High to be the CEO of everything I do. There have definitely been trials and errors, and none of this has been easy—but every mistake came with a lesson, and every lesson helped me grow.

Some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way are to trust the alignment, trust the process, and never stop moving forward. My journey has taught me that nothing happens by accident—everything unfolds in divine timing.

What I want the world to know about my brand is this: the only reason my business is successful is because of the Most High. Every step I’ve taken, every win I’ve had—it all comes back to Him.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My itinerary includes hiking in the morning, a visit to WorldSpring Spa, and then heading out to eat.
