    Therapists Need Support Too

    In this episode of the Holistic Healers Community Podcast, Crystal sits down with fellow Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Jacky Rojas, for an honest and grounding conversation about private practice, consultation, and what it really means to build a career in this field without doing it alone. Crystal shares how their consultation group was formed around the same time she launched her private practice, becoming a consistent source of support, connection, and reflection throughout her journey. What started as a space for case consultation has evolved into something much deeper: A place where both therapists can exhale, process, and show up fully as humans navigating both personal and professional experiences. Together, they explore Jacky’s recent decision to step into private practice this year, doing it scared, and the excitement and uncertainty that can come with building something of your own. They talk about the pressure to “niche down,” the challenge of having multiple passions within the field, and how Jacky has found her footing as a relational therapist working with both couples and individuals, as well as specializing in ADHD. This episode also highlights the ways they’ve intentionally expanded their consultation space beyond case conceptualization, incorporating a therapy-related book club, skills-building, and even moments of creativity and fun (like hosting Jacky’s headshot photoshoot in the HHC podcast studio). This conversation is a reminder that therapists need support too, and that when we create spaces to be seen, held, and challenged, we not only grow as clinicians, but as people. If you’ve ever felt alone in your work, this episode is for you. Have a listen & don't forget to follow the podcast to stay up to date on episodes!

They share a deeply nurturing and expansive conversation on motherhood, healing, and the power of intentional support. Krishna shares the heart behind her recent Matriarchal Magic event, a space created for women to gather, heal, and support one another through a variety of holistic services. She reflects on the magic that unfolded, not only in the connections between attendees, but in her own personal healing and growth through facilitating the experience. Together, Crystal and Krishna explore how Krishna’s personal journey shaped her path.

This episode also touches on the profound identity shift that comes with becoming a mother, the differences in how motherhood and fatherhood are experienced, and the awe-inspiring process of bringing new life into the world.

From communities for writers, to women, to professional networking, and how each of those experiences led her to her current project: The Like 4 Like Community, a space designed to help small businesses support one another and expand their reach through authentic engagement on social media. Drawing from over 20 years as a massage therapist, Christine reflects on what she’s learned about tension, not just in the body, but in the patterns we fall into in our daily lives. She introduces the idea of pattern disrupters, and how community can serve as a powerful catalyst to bring energy, creativity, and connection back into our lives.

She also shares about her upcoming Mental Wellness Workshop and her continued mission to support others in reconnecting with their bodies in a more empowered and informed way.

    When Community Turns Into Family

    In this deeply meaningful episode of the Holistic Healers Community Podcast, Crystal sits down with Jose Orozco for a conversation that feels nothing short of destined. What began as a simple connection within the Holistic Healers Community unfolded into something far more personal, revealing that Jose is the cousin of Crystal’s late biological father. This unexpected relationship opened the door for Crystal to revisit her own perceptions, memories, and unresolved emotions surrounding her father, creating space for a new layer of healing.

They reflect on the significance of our individual perspectives, the meaning we assign to our experiences, and how those interpretations shape our healing and growth. Beyond their shared story, this conversation expands into Jose’s path of service: Facilitating a men’s support group within the community, becoming a Reiki Master alongside Crystal, and integrating energy work into daily life. Jose also shares about his incense-making practice, how it supported his 26 years of sobriety, and his growing desire to guide others on their own recovery journeys.
