254 | Coach Krystal’s Journey of Reclaiming Her Identity After The Bachelor, Authenticity & Achieving Your Dreams


Listen Later

We’re going deeper with Krystal Nielson than she’s ever been on a podcast. You may know “Coach Krystal” from Instagram or her reality TV days. She is known for her appearances on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise and her growing health & fitness brand, Total Body Guide. She’s also a busy mom, business owner, podcast host, and Certified Fitness Nutrition and Life & Success Coach. She is most recently a Certified Pre and Post Natal Fitness Specialist, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner, NLP Practitioner, and Level 1 Reiki Certified. She believes that building a strong foundation in health is the cornerstone to your transformation and how retraining your brain is key to reigning over all areas of your life! 

Let me tell you, she’s a walking testimonial of what she teaches. We talked about so many different things in this episode; her journey from working in entertainment to finding her passion in fitness and personal development, the intensity of being on reality tv and how experiencing depression motivated her to achieve her professional dreams, getting quiet and recognizing what’s shiny versus what’s authentic to you, her process of deciding to end a relationship, different modalities and techniques she uses to release emotion and trauma from the body, and her advice for anyone going through a hard time.

This is one of my favorite episodes I’ve done in a long time, with someone I’ve admired for years. I appreciate Krystal so much for coming on the podcast and sharing her heart with this community!

“There's a bigger hand at play guiding us that loves us and is ushering us in the right direction. Are we getting quiet every day to listen to the whispers that are there to support us?” - Krystal Nielson

  • Moving from Montana to California to work in entertainment
  • Why she decided to pursue a career in health and fitness instead

  • Dealing with depression after the Bachelor
  • Made for this Moment by Maddie Pruitt


“We don't wanna be shaming ourselves for expressing emotions. They're really healthy, but they need to come out of the body, and that's why I really believe in physical movement, breathwork as well.” - Krystal Nielson
