Ep. 15: Today's episode is all about reframing our notion that "hustle and struggle equals success" – and opening up to allow the ease and abundance that is our birthright. I sit down with Krystal Brandt an Ease Mentor and Intuitive Business Strategist who helps fast-paced go-getters to slow down and cultivate sustainable self-care practices to live a soul-aligned life. She shares her story of leaving the corporate world behind to follow her inner calling (spoiler alert: it wasn't a smooth and shiny ride!) and drops a ton of actionable tools and strategies to reset your relationship with obligation and create a life filled with self-care, nourishment, and yes – lots of ease.
