In this episode of That’s Awesome with Ryan McPartlin, Ryan sits down with his friend Jeanna Crawford, founder of Jeanna Loves Christmas, to talk about how a deep emotional connection to Christmas — rooted in her childhood — grew into a thriving high-end holiday décor business and online brand.

What began as a small, heartfelt passion turned into a full-fledged company and creative platform. Jeanna opens up about choosing Christmas not just as a season, but as a mindset — one centered on light, joy, and intention. She shares how trusting her instincts, leading with heart, and embracing creativity helped her business grow from humble beginnings to tens of thousands of followers and a reputation that’s earned her the nickname “The Queen of Christmas.”

This conversation is about more than decorations — it’s about how the things that bring us peace and joy early in life can become the foundation for meaningful work and a purpose-driven career.

Episode Takeaway

Sometimes your calling isn’t something you chase, it’s something that’s been comforting you all along. When you choose to lead with heart, passion can turn into purpose.
