Embracing Change: A New Chapter for The Low and Slow Podcast

Laken and Crystal share their journey of transformation and growth.

Change can often feel daunting, but it can also be a powerful catalyst for growth. In this episode of the Low and Slow podcast, Laken and Crystal open up about their decision to dissolve their business partnership. 

Laken kicks off the conversation by explaining that this isn't just an update for their listeners; it's a chance to demonstrate how to navigate transitions in a way that aligns with personal growth. "We want to show that it doesn’t have to be a failure when something ends," she says. 

Crystal echoes this sentiment, reflecting on the importance of recognizing when something no longer serves you. "It's part of the human experience to just own like, hey, this isn't working for me anymore," she shares. 

What stands out in their discussion is the deep respect they have for one another. They emphasize that their friendship is the priority, even if it means stepping away from a shared business venture. Laken reassures listeners, "Don't trip. The podcast isn't going anywhere." This commitment to their friendship is a testament to the foundation of trust they've built together. 

As they navigate their own feelings during this transition, both women reflect on the lessons learned from their partnership. Crystal shares, "Even though it was uncomfortable, there’s something freeing about owning where you're at." They encourage listeners to embrace change as a natural part of growth rather than a sign of failure. 

They highlight that every feeling that arises during such transitions is valid, and it’s crucial not to label them as flaws. "Your timing doesn’t have to match someone else's timing. It's not a personal evaluation," Crystal emphasizes. 

Ultimately, this episode is about more than just their partnership; it's a reminder that change can lead to new opportunities. As they shift their focus, Laken and Crystal are excited about the possibilities ahead. This pivot allows them to pursue their passions while maintaining a strong friendship. 

We hope their journey inspires you to honor your own transitions and recognize the beauty in change. You can listen to the full episode for more insights on navigating personal evolution and embracing new beginnings.

Unpacking the struggle of evolving past who we once were.

In today's episode of the Low and Slow podcast, Crystal and Laken delve into a powerful theme that resonates with many: the struggle of outgrowing identities that no longer serve us. They explore the journey of self-discovery and the courage it takes to embrace our authentic selves.

The Weight of Outgrown Identities

Crystal shares insights from her recent sessions, highlighting a common thread among her clients—a feeling of dissonance between their current selves and the roles they’ve been playing. "We get caught up in these versions of ourselves that work well for a time, yet we often forget to check in with whether they still serve us," she explains. This theme of self-reflection is crucial. 

The Journey of Realization

Crystal recounts a transformative experience with a long-term client who had been leading a recovery group. Initially, she found significance in sharing her past journey, but as she evolved, she realized that this role was no longer fulfilling. "I don’t need to be this for me anymore," she realized, recognizing that she was holding onto a part of her identity that was not aligned with her present self. This moment of clarity allowed her to take ownership of her journey and consider what it meant to let that version go.

"Can we thank her for getting us here and then get her excited about where she's going?" 

Embracing Uncertainty

The conversation shifts to the fear of letting go of familiar identities. Laken emphasizes that much of our attachment lies in the certainty those identities bring. "What happens if I let her go?" This question encapsulates the fear of the unknown—a feeling many can relate to during periods of change. As they discuss the importance of acknowledging past identities while making space for new ones, the hosts encourage listeners to embrace uncertainty as a part of growth.

Making Room for Authenticity

As they reflect on the pressures many women face to conform to past roles, Crystal points out the importance of carving out time for personal peace and fulfillment. "When we stop overwhelming ourselves, we open the door to who we really want to be."

Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to engage in their own journeys of self-discovery. The hosts remind us that it's okay to evolve and that letting go of old identities can lead to newfound freedom and authenticity.

In a world that often demands us to fit into boxes, Crystal and Laken urge us to embrace the beautiful complexity of being human. As you navigate your own identity, consider what roles you might be ready to release and what new paths await you.

Take a moment to reflect on your own journey—who do you want to be today? For more insights and personal stories, tune into the full episode.

 She got the thing she’d been working toward for nine months. She mentioned it forty minutes into the session, almost as an aside. “I didn’t go dancing around the house or anything. I just said, okay. Now what’s next.” If that’s your reaction to every win — this episode is about why, and what actually works instead.

You said yes. And then you spent the entire drive negotiating with yourself — building a compromise, alone in the car, for someone who never asked you to compromise on anything. And you got home tired in a way that wasn’t about sleep. That’s not exhaustion. That’s the bill. You already know you overgive. Today we’re talking about why knowing hasn’t changed it.

A client found a list she’d written four years earlier — everything she’d be once things settled. At the bottom: ‘then I’ll finally relax.’ She had all of it by then. And she didn’t feel one ounce of the relaxing. Because at some point she’d just written a new list. Same handwriting, new finish line. Today’s episode is about that.
