Ep 34: Putting Yourself in the Positive Feedback Loop with Crystal Allsop

TW: This episode mentions suicide, self-mutilation, and eating disorders.

Originally from Toronto, Crystal Allsop (she/her) now calls the town of Squamish home. Crystal is a mountain lover; she loves to stare at them, paint them, and explore them via many modalities. Her favorite way to experience and connect with the mountains is through alpine climbing.

Crystal shares her story of using alcohol to numb the painfully confusing emotions of a traumatic childhood and the things that were instrumental in her gradual rise to self-respect, sobriety, and mountain summits.

You can catch up with Crystal on Instagram.
