Meet Shardae Thomas

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Shardae Thomas. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Shardae , we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?

Going through a moment in life where I was insecure helped a lot. I know that sounds funny but confidence came from pointing out my own flaws to absolutely loving them.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I’m the owner of a photography business. I’ve doing photography for about 15-20 years. I love putting smiles on my clients faces. I get all kinds of different people and different personalities and knowing that I can make them smile and feel good about themselves really makes me enjoy this career.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Keeping Jesus at the forefront on my mind and heart.

Knowing whose I am and that I’m fearfully and wonderfully made.

I can do all things through Christ which gives me strength.

Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?

Being a business owner can get very stressful. It takes a lot of me sometimes. I get drained, overstimulated, sad and even mad at times. Only person that truly keeps me up float is my Heavenly Father. When I’m overbook myself I know I can handle it because Jesus walks with me. I ask him for extra EXTRA strength. Dealing with different personalities literally can be mind boggling but staying in my Bible helps so much.
