As soon as I saw Khloe's purple donuts I knew I had to had here on the podcast. What was not evident from her gorgeous Instagram pictures was the hurdles that Khloe had to push through in order to open the Hungry Bunny Virtual Donut Shop. From a life changing attack at a D.C. bus stop to writing her mantras over and over and over again on her 15 minute call center breaks, it was each of these obstacles that prepared Khloe to finally chase her dreams.  IG @crystalcattle www.crystalblin.com
