What happens when your God-given creative dream becomes your greatest emotional and spiritual challenge? Do you give up, or find a way to rise above it? Our guest on today's episode not only overcame a tremendous spiritual and emotional hit that could have ended her story - she now leads others on her pathway of inspiration, entrepreneurship and motivation. And she's not yet 30 years old. Le'Andra McPhatter is a musician, creative entrepreneur, podcaster and coach from the North Carolina area, and is the founder and owner of the Journey Music Academy. Her nickname "Queen of The Keys" embodies her confidence in her God-given musical gift, yet she strives to serve others at all times. Through coaching, encouragement and musical instruction, she shares her love of creativity, simple living, and passion for life with people of all ages. In this episode you'll learn how she embraced her musical calling at an early age, and then overcame a dark and traumatic season in which her faith and creative life were questioned and thrown into doubt. She shares the key elements that allowed her to build a thriving 6-figure creative business, enjoy a creative career she loves, and maintain the inner drive to pursue big goals without being afraid of the risks.
