Leveling Up: A (Slightly Late) Award Announcement Worth Celebrating!

You know that feeling when you finish an epic video game quest, only to realize months later that you totally missed the “You Won” screen? Yeah … that happened.

So, here’s the officially official (and fashionably late) announcement:

Late last year, I was named …

That’s right — Virtually Untangled didn’t just level up … we hit the boss battle, nailed the strategy, and walked away with some seriously shiny loot (aka, this incredible award).

Now, before you start questioning my inventory management skills (I promise, I didn’t misplace this in my email inbox like an overstuffed bag of holding), let me explain.

I first found out about this win late last summer, but the final, all-the-details confirmation didn’t land in my hands until earlier this year. So, here I am, finally shouting it from the rooftops … or, you know, from this blog post.

But Here’s the Thing … This Win Isn’t Just Mine.

This award means the world to me — not just because it has a fancy title, but because it recognizes what I love doing: untangling chaos, crafting innovative virtual solutions, and helping businesses breathe easier.

And let’s be real — I couldn’t have done it alone. I owe this win to the most phenomenal, kickass support system a person could ask for:

My wonderfully amazing clients — The reason I get to wake up and nerd out doing what I absolutely love every single gosh darn day.

My incredible community — Who have cheered me on since day one, no matter how crazily I do #AllTheThings.

Linda Lopeke — My unofficial mentor since my very first year in business full-time (nearly eight years ago!).

My husband — The love of my life, my rock, my sounding board for all my wild ideas, and the player two to my chaotic creative brain.

My family and friends — Who’ve had my back through thick and thin, good days and bad, and my ongoing quest to recover from perfectionism (which, let’s be honest, is like fighting a final boss that just won’t stop respawning).

… This win is a testament to the power of perseverance, creativity, and the best support system anyone could ask for.

So, from the bottom of my nerdy, untangled heart — thank you for being part of this wild, creative, and excessively nerdy journey.

Here’s to more untangling, creating, innovating, and nerd’ing out … and maybe celebrating with an extra coffee (or two). ☕

Now, Let’s Slay Some More Dragons and Keep Making #AllTheMagic Happen! 🎉🎉

P.S.
If this post made you smile, consider it a virtual high-five.

If it made you snort-laugh? Even better. 😆

With pixels of gratitude,
~ Crystal

Crystal Leach (previously Kordalchuk) is not your average business owner; she's a visionary, a creative force, a powerful "untangler", and a virtuoso of organization. Her unique journey, guided by the philosophy of 'Dream big, then make it happen,' is a testament to her passion and precision. From a young age, Crystal was drawn to #AllThingsCreative. She envisioned a life where her imagination could flourish, artistry could transcend boundaries, and dreams could become tangible realities. Armed with coloured pencils, art paper, and journals, she embarked on a journey to craft the life she had always dreamed of.

Crystal's academic journey began with a diploma as a Computer Applications Specialist, a field that laid the foundation for her understanding of technology and its creative applications. This was followed by another diploma in Graphic Design, which honed her artistic skills and further fueled her passion for creativity. These educational experiences paved the way for her multifaceted career in multimedia and the arts.

However, Crystal's story doesn't end with design prowess; it evolves into a narrative of transformative organizational mastery. She possesses a rare gift for turning chaos into order, for “untangling” the most intricate virtual webs. As head pixel polisher and chief #Nerd of #AllTheThings (aka. Zen master of organization and processes), Crystal founded Virtually Untangled, a haven where creativity meets streamlined efficiency.

All her clients experience a virtual detox of order and peace at Virtually Untangled. She expertly navigates through tangled digital landscapes, offering clarity and structure so her clients can focus on what they do best. Her favourite quote, "Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do," encapsulates her journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Crystal indulges in her passions when she's not transforming virtual chaos into streamlined perfection. You'll often find her in her home art studio, exploring Manitoba's vibrant markets and culinary delights, creating new foodie adventures for her loved ones, indulging in new creative works of art in many forms, and nerd’ing out with her amazingly wonderful husband (David) in the Sci-Fi media world and by being his gaming sidekick with Fallout 76. Her life is truly a testament to the extraordinary possibilities that unfold when creativity and organization harmonize. Her message is clear: embrace your creativity, own your story, and believe anything is possible.

And right now ... she invites you to join her on a journey of discovery, empowerment, and boundless inspiration.
