Some weeks just drain the life outta you—and suddenly, even brunch feels like too much. In this episode, I’m talking about canceled plans, low energy, and why it’s okay to choose rest over people-pleasing. If your social tank is empty, you’re not alone.

In this raw and reflective episode, Crystal opens up about what it really means to learn how to love yourself—especially when you grew up in a home where affection, safety, and emotional connection were hard to come by. From childhood wounds to adult breakthroughs, Crystal shares her personal story of healing, motherhood, and the daily decision to choose self-love even when it doesn’t come easy. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unloved, or like you had to earn your worth, this episode is for you!

This week on Big Girl Talk with Crystal, we're getting real about something so many of us go through but rarely talk about — feeling stuck or disconnected in our relationships.

I'm reading a DM from a listener who feels like she and her husband have become roommates, not partners — and I know so many of us have been there. In this episode, I share my own experience, offer real-life advice for reconnecting, and remind you that this season doesn't have to be forever. If you've been feeling unseen, unheard, or unsure of how to bring the love back — this episode is for you.

Let’s get real about motherhood and that nagging feeling so many of us carry: Am I doing enough?

In this episode, I’m opening up about the pressure, the guilt, the comparison—and how we can start showing ourselves a little more grace.

Because the truth is: You don’t have to do it all to be enough. You already are.

I thought, ‘There’s no way I’m qualified for this.’

I was a stay-at-home mom.

“But I went anyway. And it changed everything.

Don’t let fear talk you out of your own future, sis.”
