This week on Krystle Clear, we sit down with Chloe Chiang—real estate professional, event curator, and the visionary behind Château Chloe, a breathtaking New Orleans-inspired home she boldly built on Austin’s East Side. Chloe opens up about her multicultural upbringing in Houston, her fearless approach to building a life on her own terms, and the realities of dating in your 30s in Austin. We also explore her elegant social events, French Leave Friday and No Bad Company, which are redefining how people connect with purpose and style. This episode is a celebration of identity, independence, and choosing not to wait for permission to live fully.

This week on Krystle Clear, Krystle welcomes her girlfriend Alani — a proud El Paso native, blue-eyed Mexican-American, wife, mother, and force of nature. Alani opens up about what it was like growing up on the border of Mexico as a “guera,” navigating identity, language, and cultural expectations from both sides.

In this honest and lively conversation, the two dive into Alani’s 11-year marriage with her husband Andi and the secret sauce behind their strong, fun-loving relationship — even with two kids, demanding careers, and nonstop travel.

Alani also shares the impact of losing her mother to ovarian cancer at just 25, how that grief reshaped her life, and how she’s carried that loss into her journey as a woman and mom. With a background that spans politics, tech startups, and now speaking at her alma mater UT Austin, Alani reflects on what it truly looks like to “have it all” in your 40s — and the balance, boundaries, and bravery it takes to get there.

This week on Krystle Clear, we sit down with the incredible Keiko Griffin Anderson—a powerhouse attorney, a mother of 5,  the proud wife of Dr. Anderson. She is a Doctor of Jurisprudence, a CEO of a thriving family law practice,  and Minister. From raising her daughter as a single mom to building a beautiful blended family and business  Keiko’s story is one of resilience, love, and divine timing.

This week on Krystle Clear, Krystle welcomes someone incredibly close to her heart — her cousin Susie. Growing up in the tiny Texas border town of Quemado, Susie was always bold, stylish, and ahead of her time. When her strict father sent her away during her senior year of high school, it was just the first of many times she would embrace change — from moving overseas with her first husband to eventually finding lasting love with her current partner of 22 years.

But Susie’s path hasn’t always been easy. After surviving an abusive relationship, she made the courageous decision to leave a toxic situation that nearly cost her life. That strength led her to get sober — a commitment she kept for eight years — and to rebuild herself as a wife, mom, and successful entrepreneur. Together with her husband, she’s built a thriving empire spanning real estate, retail, and gas stations.

Now 50 and glowing from the inside out, Susie reflects on resilience, recovery, and reinvention — sharing her most heartfelt lessons on life, family, and finding the strength to embrace a new chapter.

This week on Krystle Clear, Krystle sits down with Morgan Goodwin— a former college & professional track star, wife to a retired NFL player and Olympian Marquise Goodwin, and mother of three — who is carving out a life defined by purpose, presence, and deep connection.

Morgan homeschools her children, grows her own food, keeps bees, and is preparing to move her family to the 20 + acre property they recently purchased to deepen their self-sustaining lifestyle. She talks about raising grounded, curious kids in a world full of noise — and how travel, nature, and intentional living have become core values for her family.

In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Morgan also opens up about her experience with two miscarriages — how those losses reshaped her perspective on motherhood, faith, and healing. Her story is one of growth, strength, and choosing a life that aligns with what matters most.

If you’ve ever felt the pull toward a slower, more intentional life — or needed to hear a story of quiet resilience — this one’s for you.

This week on Krystle Clear, host Krystle Copulos steps into the guest seat to share her own deeply personal journey—a life marked by change, heartbreak, resilience, and reinvention. From moving cities 8 times as a child to becoming a powerhouse in Austin real estate, Krystle opens up about how constant transitions shaped her inner strength. With 23 years in the business, the loss of her father, a broken engagement, and two failed marriages behind her, she’s rewriting the narrative of what it means to find love, build legacy, and define “home” on your own terms. This is an unfiltered conversation about career longevity, emotional growth, and the unexpected beauty of starting over.

In this heartfelt conversation, Erica shares her evolution from devoted homemaker—raising two children and supporting her husband’s demanding college football career—to launching Lux Boards, a successful business built with intention and heart. Together, we explore what it means to shift identities, chase new purpose, and still hold it all together—family, marriage, sports, and self. We also open up about the loss of our fathers, and what navigating grief looks like as women, mothers, and entrepreneurs. This episode is about transformation, resilience, and finding your footing through seasons of both growth and sorrow.

In this episode of Krystle Clear, I sit down with my friend Brittni Johnson—a devoted wife to a former NFL player, a mom in a beautifully blended family, and now, a passionate Pilates instructor.

We talk about what it means to surrender to the season you're in—whether that’s showing up fully as a wife, a mother, or a woman still figuring out what’s hers. Brittni shares how she learned to embrace each chapter without losing herself in the process, and how finding her passion in Pilates became the doorway to rediscovering her purpose.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that clarity doesn’t always come all at once—but when you lean in, trust the timing, and keep showing up, purpose finds you.

Today’s guest, Dara Chike-Obi, is a women’s health advocate and innovator who’s spent her career solving unmet needs—from postpartum care as the founder of Grio Baby, to aesthetics and wellness with 360 Aesthetics.

With a unique, holistic perspective on the full lifecycle of women’s health, Dara is bridging the gap between what women need and what they’re actually given—especially in those overlooked phases of life.

In this conversation, we dive into how she’s building solutions from both personal experience and professional insight, what it means to honor your identity while raising a family, and why every woman deserves to be seen, supported, and heard—at every age and stage.
