Okay. Okay. Off my soap box…let me transition into today’s coversation with my girl Cristal. First off. I’m pretty pumped bc this year I had a goal to add more voices into our conversations as we navigate all things growth, dreams, and caring for ourselves along the way. This is a SISTERHOOD and I preach that we weren’t made to do our life or journeys alone…and that MUST be reflected in this space. So here we go! A fresh conversation that I know you’re gonna love. Let me tell you about my friend Cristal. Today she is an entrepreneur, podcaster, event creater, breath work coach, speaker…all the things. But I love peeling back the layers on someone’s journey…what got them to where they are now and what life WAS like. Because what we see today is only a tiny picture of the entire journey, right?
Taking you back, Cristal was a 4th grade teacher and growing up, she worked hard to go down the “prescribed path.” Which I can really resonate with and I’m sure if that’s a piece of your story you will, too. But that’s where I love bringing in other conversations that offer a different starting point. Cristal and I ended up both graduating from college with education degrees, but we didn’t have the same starting line. Cristal grew up in an immigrant family and was taught to go after the “American Dream.” Ya’ll. She wasn’t just the FIRST in her lineage to graduate college, she also was the first to graduate past middle school. She got the degree. Started the teaching career. Bought the house. And her upbringing taught her that she had “made it.” Except it didn’t feel like that for her.
Cristal quickly realized that while she loved everything about the classroom and the kiddos, she knew there was another level for her out there in the world. She felt deeply that she was made for more…not in a way like she wasn’t grateful for what she had and how she got there…but just knew that SHE had more potential in her beyond her role as a teacher.
She believes we get to be our ancestors wildest dreams if we are courageous enough to listen and leap. But it doesn’t stop there. In our conversation, Cristal shares SO MUCH wisdom as a new mama and how it looks to break generational cycles in real time as she navigates motherhood. We get REAL about what “getting your body back” or “getting you back” after you have a baby really looks like. And we talk about grieving versions of yourself that you will never get back. It’s seriously SO GOOD.
I can’t wait for you to hear Cristal’s wisdom… so let’s dive in with some of the key takeaways of this episode.
KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE 👇🏼
① From immigrant family to 4th Grade Teacher to entrepreneur. Cristal walks us thru the leap and journey it took to get from where she started to where she is now. We also talk thru the idea of going down the “prescribed path” and how any changes in that can come across as ungrateful. Cristal walks us thru how she navigated the tough conversations surrounding following your dreams.
② We also dive into being a first time mom and how she’s been navigating the generational stories + healing that have come with that. We all have a set of beliefs and stories we tell and Cristal digs into how you can determine which beliefs belong to you vs which are not - healing the narrative so you can shift it into the next generation. She also shares a few of the examples in real time she’s navigating as a new mom including deciding what is right for you in a very noisy world on social media where it’s easy to compare yourself and your choices to every other mom out there. This includes so much self awareness and Cristal’s encouragement for women is incredible. This is a daily coming back…a daily reset with yourself to keep coming back to what is true for YOU.
③ Cristal had already established her business when she became a mama. And I think so often women are taught that we need to "get her back" (whether that's our body, our habits + routines, our work, etc) but gosh...life is not the same. You will never be HER again. We dive into what this process has looked like for Cristal and how life has shifted, including the grieving processes we often forget about when we transition from one season of life into another…knowing we’ll never get that time back again. Rather than pushing that down, we take a moment to talk about some ways you can allow those emotions to exist and honor them.
④ We talk thru what it looks like to peel back the layers on our insecurities and limiting beliefs and reveal the TRUTH behind them. Cristal looks at her emotions in such a beautiful way. She looks at what’s bothering her, she pinpoints the emotion she’s feeling, and then she takes herself back to the first time she felt that emotion so she can get back to the truth of the story.
