This is the first episode of the year, and I wanted to start it with intention.

In this episode, I’m setting the tone for 2026 — reflecting on what the last season required, what I’m no longer carrying forward, and the standard I’m choosing to lead with moving forward.

We talk about:

• Letting go of the “shoulds” in business and life
• Why doing everything isn’t the goal — doing what lights you up is
• What hard seasons, pressure, and responsibility teach you about leadership
• The shift that happens when there is no second option
• And what it really means to enter a new season with a new standard

This conversation is part reflection, part reminder, and part permission slip — to stop dimming, stop overcomplicating, and show up bigger, bolder, and more aligned than ever.

If you’re stepping into this year knowing you’re meant for more — this episode is for you.

✨ New season.
 ✨ New standard.
 ✨ Let’s fucking do this.

If this episode served you, I would be so grateful if you left a review and shared it on social media.
 Tag me so I can personally thank you — it truly means the world to me.

P.S.S.S.
If you’re reading this, I’m sending you so much love.
Thank you for being here and for stepping into this new year with me.
XO,
Cristal ❤️

Get ready to create the most expansive, intentional, and grounded year of your life — not by rushing harder, but by integrating deeper.

If you’ve felt the pressure to already be “on” this year…
 If you’ve wondered whether you’re behind for not sprinting into January…
 Or if you’re craving clarity, momentum, and expansion without burning yourself out…

This episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the exact process I’m using to step into this new year with clarity, confidence, and aligned momentum — a process I call Reflect & Expand.

This isn’t about pausing your ambition.
 It’s about sharpening it.

We’re diving into why reflection is actually the million-dollar work no one talks about — and how integrating the lessons, growth, and identity shifts from your last season is what sets you up for your biggest expansion yet.

I also break down the sections of the Reflect & Expand guide and explain:

• Why each section exists
• How I personally use it in my own life and business
• And how you can move at your pace — whether you’re easing in or ready to create right now

If this is the year you want to:
 • Create clarity without pressure
 • Expand without operating in survival mode
 • Plan your year with both life and business in mind
• Stop repeating cycles and start moving intentionally

…you’re in the right place.

Grab your favorite drink, get cozy, and let this episode meet you exactly where you are.

In this episode, we’re diving into the decision that quietly changes everything  the one that determines whether life hardens you or expands you… and whether you actually get to live the best freaking life possible.

This conversation is raw, honest, and reflective. It’s one of those episodes that came from real life, from conversations I’ve had, lessons I’ve lived, and moments that forced me to look at how I was moving through pain, disappointment, and change.

In this episode, I talk about what happens when life doesn’t go the way you planned… when people hurt you, when things fall apart, when you’re faced with moments you never asked for and how the choice you make in those moments shapes who you become next.

Whether you’re here after heartbreak, betrayal, loss, a hard season in business, family dynamics, or just feeling like life has been a lot — I see you. You’re not behind. You’re not broken. And you’re not alone in this.

This episode wraps up The Becoming Series, and I hope it meets you exactly where you are.

P.S. If you’re listening to this right now, I freaking love you. Thank you for being here, for growing with me, and for choosing to keep becoming. ❤️

This Is Why You Keep Going

In today’s episode, I’m taking you behind a full-circle moment that caught me completely off guard  and reminded me exactly why we keep showing up, even when it’s hard. Because your full-circle moment is coming, too.

💬 In this episode, we dive into:

• The 2014 version of me vs. the 2025 version of me
• Why freedom isn’t always flashy,  sometimes it’s quiet, spontaneous magic
• The real reason consistency matters more than perfection
• Why the only difference between people who have the life they want and those who don’t… is action
• How to stop letting old narratives write your future

Okay, this one’s special. I got to sit down with my girl Amy, founder of Style Forward and this convo was one of those "wait, let’s go deeper" type of chats. It started with style… but it turned into a full-blown reflection on identity, personal power, and those quiet moments where you’re rebuilding who you are.

Amy has been such a big part of my own journey, especially postpartum. You know those seasons where you don’t fully recognize yourself yet, but you know there’s a new version of you emerging? She helped me see myself again—inside and out.

So if you’re in a chapter where your old style doesn’t feel like you anymore...
 If you’re ready to show up as the woman you’ve been growing into...
 If you're holding more, emotionally, spiritually, financially and want your outer expression to reflect that...

THIS is the episode you need.

🖤 We talk about:

• The real identity shifts women go through in motherhood, entrepreneurship, and big life pivots
• How personal style can become a mirror to your expansion
• Why it's not just about what you wear, but how you feel in it
• The link between confidence, embodiment, and how you take up space

I say it all the time, but I’ll say it again, how you feel in your skin matters. And it’s okay if you’re still figuring that out. Amy and I walk you through it, heart to heart.

✨ Curious about what your next-level style could look like?
Amy is currently offering free 15-minute consultation calls to help you start exploring the version of you you're becoming, and how your style can rise with her. Whether you're navigating a transition, stepping into more visibility, or just ready to feel like you again, this quick convo will give you powerful clarity.

➡️Click here to book your free 15-minute style consult with Amy.

The Becoming Series, Episode 6: The Identity Shift That Helps You Hold More

Description:
In this episode of The Becoming Series, we’re diving deep into the identity shift required to truly hold more—more clients, more visibility, more income, more responsibility... and more of your next level.

We’re talking about:

• What no one tells you about capacity and success
• Why knowing you’re made for more isn’t enough (and what to do about it)
• The internal rewiring that has to happen before your next breakthrough

If you’ve ever said, “I know I’m meant for bigger things, but I feel stuck,” this episode is for you. Because the version of you that can hold what you’re asking for? She’s not a future you—she’s a decision away.

🖤 Take a deep breath. Let this one hit.
 🎙️ Press play, and let’s talk about the shift that changes everything.

P.S. If this episode landed, it would mean the world if you’d leave a review and share it with a friend. Let’s keep growing together.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the space between what you know and what you actually live.

 If you’ve ever said, “I know what I need to do—I’m just not doing it,” this one’s for you.

I’m sharing the mirror moment that cracked this open for me, the identity mismatch that was blocking my next level, and the shifts I made to move from collecting information to embodying transformation. Because calling in more isn’t about doing more—it’s about becoming the woman who can hold more.

Press play, and let’s close that gap.

QUESTIONS FROM THE EPISODE:

1. What do I know that I’m not embodying?
2. What habit/pattern doesn’t fit the version of me I’m becoming?
3. What is one move I can make this week that proves I’m ready to hold more?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the moment the spark fades—the part no one prepares you for.

 The motivation wears off. The excitement dies down. And suddenly, the thing you prayed for feels… heavy.

This episode is for the woman who’s wondering:

• Why doesn’t it feel fun anymore?
• Am I doing something wrong?
• Should I still want this?

Here’s the truth: you’re not broken, off track, or failing. You’re just past the honeymoon stage—and this is where the real becoming begins.

We’re unpacking the identity shift that happens when the high of the beginning fades and consistency has to take over. This is where most people quit—but you’re not most people. So take a deep breath, press play, and let this be your reminder that the mundane middle is where legacy is built.

What It Really Takes to Scale from Zero to Multi-Millions with Demi

In this episode, I’m SO excited to officially kick off our She Is Made For More LIVE 2025 Speaker Series by welcoming the one and only Demi, multi–7-figure business strategist, brand architect, and the mentor behind thousands of success stories.

Demi went from waitressing to building a near 8-figure empire by the age of 27 and in this conversation, she’s giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to scale to multi-millions and sustain it.

We’re not just talking about cash injections or flashy launches we’re breaking down identity shifts, emotional resilience, retention strategy, and the kind of leadership that creates long-term, bankable results.

This is the conversation I wish more women had access to and now, you do. 🎧

Inside this episode, we cover:
✨ The truth behind multi-7-figure growth (and what most don’t say)
✨ Shifting your identity to hold the next level
✨ Building a brand that lasts—beyond a launch
✨ Why emotional intelligence is a scaling skill
✨ Sales as a service (and how to lead with it powerfully)
