You’ll learn Crystal’s practical framework: start with rest (nervous system first), grieve who you were, reimagine who you desire to be, set boundaries, then sustain and elevate with daily rituals. We also explore women’s 28-day rhythms versus the 9–5 grind, and how sound baths calm the body and open space for clarity.

If you’re feeling trapped by roles, metrics or momentum—you’re not broken. You’re being invited back into alignment.
