THANK YOU!💗 We are so blessed to be a nominee for: New Small Business of the Year, as well as our owner Sydney being nominated for Young Entrepreneur of the Year. She Won!🌟
We were recently awarded with 2025 Young Entrepreneur of the Year from the Kentucky Small Business Development Center. We cannot thank You, our customers, clients, and friends, enough. Thank you Kentucky Small Business Development Center for this absolute blessing and this wonderful opportunity.
This is a beautiful milestone for us, and for our community in Ashland, KY. Thank you for all your continued support, truly.
When our owner first heard she was nominated for this award, she thought this nomination alone was an amazing gift.
Sydney was awarded 2025 Young Entrepreneur of the Year by the Kentucky Small Business Development Center and wants to share these thoughts:
I still find it odd to think of myself as an Entrepreneur. When I consider "Entrepreneurship" and the associations it evokes, I think of at the most base level as: risk-taking-for-profit. This is way oversimplified in most cases, especially for a small business. I used to have this idea of Entrepreneurs as business-driven people who put Profit over everything.
Almost the antithesis of the entire reason my business came to life.
If you have honestly known me for any real length of time, you may have an idea of how much work we do to help people who don’t know where else to turn at no charge. We may have helped some of you reading this.
We continue to work with non-profits, connecting clients who need help to the Right People. When we can, we sponsor local school events, participate in fundraisers, and occasionally have events for our community at no charge here in our shop.
We began humbly hosting our free Spiritual Social before we even settled on taking root here in Ashland, where we are from.
A lot of our clients become our friends, and a lot of our business connections become our clients.
We operate with integrity. We facilitate all of our classes, workshops, and events with the highest regard for safety, privacy, and empowerment. We’ll defend that. We support local artists.
My business is built in divine alignment and the power of service, sovereignty, and community. I am so grateful to each and every opportunity we receive to empower each unique soul on their path.
…
I think these are the things I am most proud of in my work. It is amazing to know that Entrepreneurs aren’t, and don’t have to be, solely profit motivated. I believe if you’re operating with integrity, grace, and focus towards serving others, help finds you when you need it. I know I’ve been blessed to know the right people, with similar values around building up others, to help me along. Abundance will flow when you need it to. More, when you are willing to give to those who need it. Clients come back to places they are seen, safe, and celebrated. People grow when they get to collaborate in their experience of awareness and perception.
I am so excited to be an Entrepreneur who maybe doesn’t fit a traditional mold, but I am one of the Entrepreneurs who is in it for the right reasons.
Thank you to everyone who has made this possible! We are continuously thankful for all the blessings we receive and by our community that raises us up. I know I’ve said it before, but we are so fortunate to have to best community around. I truly am so grateful for each and every one of you who show up and support us.
Thank you Kentucky Small Business Development Center for this wonderful honor and opportunity. I am so grateful. You are such a gift to each and every Entrepreneur in Kentucky.
& If you still somehow haven’t come to Spiritual So Simple yet, consider this the sign you’ve been waiting on. It’s October!🎃 Our Monthly Event Calendar is LIVE and we have so many fun things happening.
