Passions Turned Professions: From Horses to Crochet
Kristie Tchida has always been passionate about horses. In 2015, she started a breeding program and soon decided to share her love for horses with others. She now owns dozens of horses and hosts various programs, including women's retreats, horse-riding lessons, and equine therapy. Kristie emphasizes that horses are calming, intuitive, and help people center themselves. Her programs include Adaptive Riding, Team Building/Leadership, and Equine Assisted Unconditional Care Learning. Naomi Kranz learned to crochet simple items when she was young. After the birth of her first child, she faced post-partum depression and turned to crocheting as a creative outlet. This hobby grew into a successful business where she creates and sells handmade items. Naomi sells her products at regional craft fairs and online through Pinterest, Etsy, Facebook, and her website. She also offers custom pieces and shares her patterns with others. Both women show how following a passion can lead to fulfilling and successful careers.
