2025/08/27

Today, I’m sharing something that I’m doing just for me. After years of teaching and now as a mom to a child with ADHD and big emotions, I’ve always been fascinated by the brain, especially how trauma and ADHD affect kids. Since I’m not working right now, I decided to use this season to grow my knowledge in a way that lights me up. In this quick episode, I talk about why I enrolled in a trauma-informed practice course, how it’s helping me understand kids (and myself) in new ways, and why so...

Today’s episode is a real-time reflection, straight from the yoga mat to the mic. After taking a heated barre and yoga class, I found myself in an emotional moment connecting with younger Chrysty, the version of me who never felt like she had permission to try unless she could be perfect. I share what it looked like to give her (and myself) permission to be a beginner, to fall, to laugh, to try new things without needing to “marry” them.

If you're a routine loving, checklist-making, control craving mama then this one's for you. 🙋‍♀️ In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I’ve been learning to loosen my grip on perfection, let go of the pressure to have it all figured out, and find more freedom in the messy middle.

Hey friend — today’s episode is straight from the heart. 💛 In my recent Bible study, we were reading about the Proverbs 31 woman and Ruth 3:1–13 (NLT), and something clicked for me in a new way. I always used to see the Proverbs 31 woman as this superwoman I could never live up to. But then we looked at Ruth — a single, poor woman working in the fields — and I realized... she was also called “virtuous.” She didn’t have it all together, and yet she was still seen as wise, strong, and worthy.

From empty barns to humble meals, we’ll explore real-life examples where choosing God’s way looked worse on the surface but led to deeper peace, purpose, and provision.
