The Vibe Waco is a vision we brought to life as two passionate women entrepreneurs—Crystal Radke, owner of Consulting Refined, and Trilby Trayler, owner of Twenty Toes Photography. We are both third-generation Wacoans, moms, wives, writers, podcasters, and now proud magazine owners and editors. Even though we have lived here most, if not all, of our lives, there are still hidden gems we have yet to find and plenty of new places to explore that we can't share with you.

​

We’re both deeply committed to supporting small businesses, startups, and the incredible entrepreneurs who bring fresh ideas to our community. That’s why we created this magazine: to connect people with local businesses, foster meaningful relationships, and help grow Waco into a thriving hub of innovation and collaboration.

​

As small business owners ourselves, we know firsthand how challenging it can be to start and grow a business. That’s why our mission is to provide a platform where local entrepreneurs can share their stories, showcase their products and services, and connect with customers who value authentic, community-driven experiences.

​

Whether you’re on the hunt for your new favorite place to shop, looking for advice to grow your own business, or simply wanting to support Waco’s vibrant and diverse businesses, we’re here to guide you. We truly believe that by building strong, genuine relationships between business owners and consumers, we can create a more connected and thriving community.

​

So, join us on this journey as we celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit and work together to strengthen the heart of Waco—one story, one business, and one relationship at a time.
