How one woman changed thrifting: Interview with Michelle Raven
MICHELLE RAVEN
Founder of personal shopping service at Arc’s Value Village
I am becoming slightly obsessed with finding men and women among us who created something despite fears, objections, or beliefs. These men and women might not be on the cover of Forbes Magazine (just yet!), but they are changing their communities, inspiring others, and just making this world a better place.
One of those people is Michelle Raven, founder of personal shopping service at Arc’s Value Village in Minnesota. I met her through a lovely client of mine and was immediately drawn to her story, and her unusual undertaking and creativity. Few weeks ago, I got a chance to meet her in person during a Girl Creative event (that video coming next week!) and I asked her some questions about fears, overcoming, creating something, and how being a mom has changed her. She is a delight and along with her stylists (love Emily!) – they have introduced me to this concept of thrifting that I resisted for a long time (remnant from the war and always getting second hand clothing). For years, I thought that it would not be good image but Michelle tends to dispel that and remind people how much good they can do by shopping at Arc’s Value Village (and how cute they can look too!).

Mindset and Worthiness with Christina Lecuyer
The interview with this woman had me so freakin’ energized for the entire hour. Christina is a good friend but also an incredible speaker, one of the best mindset coaches EVER and one of the powerhouse women to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. We talk about self worth, transitioning careers, fear, running Masterminds, running live events and so so much more!
Rise Above Social Conditioning with Jackie Serviss
ackie is a former corporate executive turned coach and she is a really dear friend I met a few months ago. Her presence alone makes you feel so loved and accepted and she’s created this Unconditioned method after having gone through something so severe as waking one day and being told she has a brain tumor.
