Coaching isn’t about fixing you. It’s about creating the space where you can finally hear yourself.

In this conversation, Crystal sits down with her personal coach, Bryan Winston, to explore the deeper layers of human potential, presence, and the inner architecture of transformation. Together, they unpack why support isn’t about “needing” someone — it’s about choosing the mirrors that help you see more clearly.

Bryan shares how he blends spirituality, psychology, and practical strategy to help people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and make decisions from clarity rather than urgency. From the art of holding space, to the nature of thought, to the levels of consciousness that shape our experience, this episode offers a grounded, human look at what it really means to evolve.

This is a conversation about presence, curiosity, and the courage to meet yourself without the noise.

Extricating love from conditioning is one of the most profound initiations we face. In this Valentine’s‑week episode, Crystal and Cat explore love not as a fleeting emotion, but as the foundational fabric of consciousness itself — “the intelligent, divine creative energy that threads the universe together” (00:00:02).

Through the lenses of trauma bonds, karmic relationships, soulmates, and twin flames, this conversation reframes romantic partnership as a pathway back to self‑union. Rather than chasing chemistry or external validation, Crystal and Cat explore how relational dynamics mirror our subconscious patterns, lineage imprints, and the deeper lessons our soul is ready to integrate.

This episode blends the mystical with the practical — from the metaphysics of karma to the nervous‑system markers of trauma bonds, from lineage healing to the moment you finally choose yourself. It’s a grounded, expansive exploration of how love evolves us, stretches us, and ultimately returns us to the truth of who we are.

This is not about finding “the one.”
 It’s about remembering the oneness within you.

Intuition isn’t something we have to learn, it’s something we remember. Tarot helps us do that.

Crystal sits down with fellow female entrepreneur, yogi, and tarot teacher Betina Bethlem to explore intuition as a living intelligence woven through the nervous system, the body, and consciousness itself. Together, they reframe tarot not as fate, but as a gentle prediction based on the energetics of the now giving you the opportunity to attune to where you want to go. Think of it as your friendly wake-up call AND your biggest cheerleader. 

The conversation explores why modern culture over-indexes logic, how this disconnects us from deeper forms of intelligence, and why intuition isn’t random or mystical, but embodied, patterned, and accessible. They also reflect on the rise of AI and the risk of outsourcing intuition, inviting listeners back into direct relationship with their own inner guidance.

This episode is an invitation to work with energy instead of fear, to meet change with curiosity, and to remember that intuition isn’t outside of you. It’s already alive within you.

The universe may not have a fixed history.

What we experience as “the past” could be shaped by the questions we ask in the present.

In this conversation, Crystal and Cat explore the nature of time through consciousness, physics, and lived experience, unpacking how memory, perception, and awareness interact to shape reality itself.

Rather than seeing time as linear and unchangeable, this episode invites a different perspective: one where the present moment holds creative power, where meaning isn’t static, and where our relationship to the past may be more flexible than we realize.

This is not about escaping reality, it’s about understanding it more deeply.

If you’ve ever questioned time, felt the past loosen its grip, or sensed that reality responds to awareness, this episode opens a new frame.

Egypt doesn’t activate the mind, it activates your whole being.

In this episode of SoulPod, Crystal shares her direct experience inside Egypt’s sacred temples, including the King’s Chamber, where consciousness activation becomes impossible to intellectualize. What unfolds isn’t symbolic or theoretical,  it’s embodied, disorienting, and deeply revealing.

Crystal also explains why sacred sites as a whole are powerful experiences on the awakening journey and how to keep that connection going even after you return home. 

This conversation explores why Egypt’s temples still function as energetic technologies, how ancient spaces trigger remembrance at a cellular level, and why moments of awakening can feel destabilizing rather than calm.

If you’ve ever felt called to Egypt, experienced sudden inner shifts you couldn’t explain, or sensed that awakening isn’t always gentle, this episode meets you there.

In this SoulPod conversation, Crystal sits down with Mandy Hamilton for a grounded, honest exploration of healing, self-awareness, and the inner work required to create real change.

As the year comes to a close, this SoulPod episode offers a moment to pause, reflect, and integrate everything that’s been lived, felt, and learned.

This episode shares an intimate end-of-year reflection on consciousness, cycles, and the deeper meaning of completion. It explores what it really means to close a chapter, not through force or pressure, but through awareness, presence, and truth. From honoring grief and growth to releasing outdated identities and patterns, this episode invites listeners to soften into reflection rather than rush into resolution.

This is not about setting goals or manifesting the next version of yourself. It’s about listening to what the year has shaped within you, recognizing what no longer needs to be carried forward, and allowing space for clarity to emerge naturally.

A contemplative close to the year, and a gentle invitation to step into what’s next with intention, honesty, and trust.

Grief is one of the most profound initiations we face as human beings…

In this tender SoulPod conversation, Crystal sits with Catherine Mansfield to explore grief not as something to “move past,” but as a powerful initiation into a deeper relationship with love, identity, and the soul.

Cat shares her own story of losing her father on Christmas, the shock, the disorientation, the waves that come without warning, and the unexpected moments of beauty that cracked her open to a deeper spiritual relationship with him on the other side. 

They talk about the grief that hides inside everyday life: lost versions of ourselves, aging, motherhood, choices not taken, timelines that dissolve.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, feel what’s true, be kind to yourself and discover the wisdom that emerges when we stop trying to outrun our pain.

If you’re moving through the loss of a person, a path, or a part of yourself, this conversation is here to hold you.

So much of who we think we are… isn’t actually us.
It’s programming.

In this mind-opening SoulPod episode, Crystal sits down with subconscious guide Anna Machkalov to explore how much of our behavior, emotional reactions, and even our “choices” are shaped long before we’re aware of them. They dive into the human mind’s evolutionary wiring, why habits are so hard to break, and how the subconscious prioritizes safety over happiness, even when it sabotages the life you consciously want.

Anna breaks down how the critical mind filters our desires, how hypnosis bypasses outdated programming, and why true transformation only happens when the subconscious finally feels safe enough to change.

Along the way, they explore dreams, lucid states, subconscious symbols, and the moments when the mind reveals what you’re actually ready to heal.

This episode is an invitation to understand your programming, reconnect with your inner world, and finally step into the version of yourself you’ve been trying to become.
