    Ep. 27: When You Become the Mother While Healing the Wound

    In this follow-up to Shake Off What Your Mama Gave You, Crystal and Laken explore the complex emotional terrain of becoming the nurturer while still healing maternal wounds. Because sometimes the mother wound doesn’t fully reveal itself until life asks you to become what you once needed. Whether you are raising children, building a business, leading clients, or mothering your own inner child — this episode is about the tension between caregiving and grief. Crystal and Laken unpack: why maternal wounds often intensify when women begin caregiving,the grief of realizing what you didn’t receive,how resentment can surface in unexpected ways,and how to mother yourself while becoming a safe place for others.This is a conversation about breaking cycles without perfection, grieving without shame, and learning how to nurture from overflow instead of depletion. Because healing the mother wound isn’t about becoming flawless. It’s about becoming conscious. Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!

    Ep. 26: What 'The In-Between’ Actually Looks Like

    Here’s a moment no one really prepares you for— When you stop doing what you’ve always done…and suddenly, nothing feels normal anymore. You don’t jump in.You don’t fix it.You don’t over-explain.You don’t take over. And instead of feeling free…you feel uncomfortable. Restless. Questioning everything. In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal and Laken explore the real experience of change—not the highlight reel, but the raw moments that happen when you interrupt your patterns in real time. Because the “in-between” isn’t peaceful at first.It’s disorienting. It’s the space where your old identity no longer fits…but your new way of being hasn’t fully landed yet. This episode asks: What actually happens when you stop overfunctioning—in real life? Not in theory.Not in journaling prompts.But in the moment your body tells you to step in…and you choose not to. We explore: •Why not stepping in feels physically loud •The inner dialogue when you break patterns •Why discomfort comes from interrupting the pattern •What it looks like to witness life without inserting yourself •The identity shift of no longer being “the one who fixes everything” •How others may react when you change •Why your nervous system feels activated •How safety is built through small, quiet reps You’ll recognize this if you’ve ever: •Felt the urge to fix everything •Over-explained to avoid being misunderstood •Struggled to sit still instead of taking control •Questioned who you are without being “the responsible one” Because the in-between looks like: Not answering right away.Letting someone misunderstand you.Sitting in discomfort without fixing it.Letting things unfold without controlling the outcome. The truth: The discomfort isn’t a sign something is wrong.It’s a sign something is changing. You’re no longer reacting the same way.You’re no longer reinforcing the identity you’ve outgrown. Your nervous system is learning:“I don’t have to jump in anymore.” Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!

    Ep. 25: Trying to Solve Feeling Problems with Thinking Solutions

    In this episode of Low and Slow, we explore a pattern so many of us fall into without even realizing it: trying to think our way out of what we actually need to feel our way through. When emotions rise, the mind rushes in with solutions, logic, and fixing—but what happens when the real issue isn’t a thinking problem at all, but a feeling one? This conversation introduces a new and deeply loved woman of our coaching team, Melissa Curtis. Melissa is not only an incredible addition to the work we’re doing, but also a longtime friend—and the very connection point where Laken and I originally met. Her presence brings a grounded, embodied lens to everything we talk about in this episode, especially the importance of nervous system awareness, embodiment, and creating spaces where women can actually feel safe enough to heal. Together, we unpack how often women get caught in cycles of self-doubt, overthinking, and “fixing” themselves instead of slowing down long enough to listen to what their body is communicating. We talk about healing as a spiral rather than a straight line, the power of women’s circles and community, and why vulnerability is not a weakness—but a doorway into real transformation. At the heart of this episode is a reminder: self-acceptance doesn’t come from solving yourself. It comes from learning how to be with yourself. And sometimes, the most powerful shift happens when we stop trying to think our way out—and start allowing ourselves to feel our way through.

    Ep. 24: The Pit Has A Pattern

    Why do so many women feel like they’re either all in… or completely out? One week you’re energized, committed, productive, consistent. The next? You’re exhausted, disconnected, avoiding the very things you said mattered most. And somewhere in that crash, shame creeps in: “Why can’t I just stay consistent?” “Why do I always do this?” “What’s wrong with me?” In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal and Laken dismantle one of the most misunderstood cycles in personal growth: the all-or-nothing pattern. And here’s the truth: This is not a discipline problem. It is not a personality flaw. And it is not proof that you’re broken. It is a predictable nervous-system pattern with a shape. A rhythm. A sequence. And once you can recognize the pattern, you stop personalizing the pit. Because the pit is not random. The pit has a pattern. In This Episode We Explore: Why the all-or-nothing cycle is biologically patterned, not personal failureThe 3 phases of the cycle: The In → The Crack → The PitHow your nervous system drives the rise and crashWhy “the crash” is not your willpower failingThe difference between your effort ceiling and your sustainable floorHow to identify your personal warning signs before the crash happensWhy awareness—not perfection—is the first foothold toward change What You’ll Learn Crystal and Laken guide listeners through the anatomy of the cycle so they can begin to recognize: THE IN: The overcommitted high-energy push where everything feels possible. THE CRACK: The subtle signals that your nervous system is overloaded. THE PIT: The withdrawal phase where shame, avoidance, and collapse set in. The goal of this episode is not to “fix” your cycle overnight. The goal is something more powerful: To help you recognize yourself so clearly in this pattern that you stop believing it’s who you are. Because when a pattern becomes visible, it becomes workable. This Episode Is For You… If you’ve ever: started strong and burned out fast,fallen off routines and judged yourself harshly,felt trapped between overdoing and shutting down—This conversation will give language to what your body has been trying to tell you.

    Ep. 23: Shake Off What Your Mama Gave You

    There are wounds many women carry that never get named out loud. Not because they aren’t real. But because they are tangled in love, loyalty, grief, and silence. In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal and Laken go into one of the deepest emotional inheritances women carry: the mother wound. Not the obvious, dramatic version. Not villainizing mothers. Not blame. This is about the quieter truth: That many of our mothers—shaped by their own unmet needs, inherited pain, and survival patterns—could not always fully see us, celebrate us, or love us in the ways we needed. And that absence often becomes the architecture of how we relate to: our worthour inner criticguilt and shameboundarieslove and self-abandonmentThis conversation is for the woman who has felt something unresolved in her relationship with her mother but never had the language for it. Crystal and Laken unpack how the mother wound shapes adulthood, how inherited emotional patterns get passed down, and what it means to begin reparenting yourself with compassion instead of resentment. Because healing isn’t about blaming your mother. It’s about understanding what was passed down… and choosing what stops with you. In This Episode We Explore: What the mother wound actually isHow maternal wounds quietly shape adult identityWhy guilt and shame often stem from inherited emotional patternsThe difference between compassion and excusing harmHow to identify mother wound triggers in daily lifeThe role of grief in healing maternal painReparenting your inner child with new emotional safetyBecoming the woman who gives herself what she never receivedThis Episode Is For You If… If you’ve ever thought: “Why do I still feel like I need her approval?”“Why do I feel guilty choosing myself?”“Why do I become so critical of myself?”This episode will help put language to what your body has known all along. You are not responsible for what was handed to you. But you are the conscious architect of what happens next. Breathe low & slow  The healing begins here.

    Ep. 22: The Radical Practice of Doing Nothing

    Can You Sit Still With Yourself? Slowing down sounds simple… until you try to do it. In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal and Laken explore a question that makes many high-capacity women uncomfortable: Can you sit quietly with yourself without immediately reaching for something to do? Not scrolling. Not answering messages. Not folding laundry. Just existing. Because many of us don’t actually struggle with rest — we struggle with stillness. Our nervous systems have been trained to associate movement with safety and productivity with worth. So when we finally slow down, emotions surface, discomfort appears, and the urge to get busy again kicks in. Crystal and Laken unpack why this happens, how distraction often disguises itself as rest, and why intentionally practicing presence can become one of the most powerful forms of nervous system regulation. They also introduce a simple practice: one hour of existing — a way to retrain your body to understand that doing nothing is safe. This conversation invites women to rethink the way they measure their days and ask a different question: Not “Did I accomplish enough?”  But “Did I treat myself like someone I love today?” Because sometimes the most radical thing you can do is take up space in your own life — by doing absolutely nothing. ________ Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!

    Ep. 21: The Trust You Built in Survival Mode

    Why survival mode isn’t working anymore. The “trust” you built in survival mode isn't the same as safety, Bc the safety you built in survival mode isn't the safety you're requiring now. Hear us out…you were praised for being the one who held it all together. The dependable one.  The strong one.  The one people could count on.  The one who figured it out no matter what. And you did. You built a version of yourself that could survive anything. But now something inside of you is shifting. Because beneath the strength, the productivity, and the identity you built… your body is saying: “This isn’t safety anymore.” In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal and Laken explore the difference between the trust you built in survival mode and the safety you’re now being asked to build within yourself. Because survival required(s) you to become someone. But healing asks you to meet who you actually are. This conversation unpacks hyper-independence, performance-based identity, and the quiet fear that comes when you begin to outgrow the version of yourself that once kept you safe. You’ll learn how to recognize survival trust, how to support your nervous system as you shift out of it, and how to begin building real self-trust — slowly, compassionately, and without abandoning the woman who got you here. ✨ You don’t need to shame the version of you that survived.  ✨ You need to support the version of you that’s emerging. In this episode, we explore: The difference between survival trust and real self-trustHow hyper-independence becomes a survival strategyWhy identity shifts feel destabilizingThe fear of losing who you’ve always beenReframing “I can’t” into “I’m learning”Building safety through small, consistent repsSupporting your nervous system through changeCelebrating the woman who survived while becoming someone newIf you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down, soften, or change… but don’t fully trust it yet—this episode is for you.

    Ep. 20: Messy Action Beats Perfect Plans

    Perfectionism doesn’t always look like fear. Sometimes it shows up disguised as “high standards.” In this episode, Crystal and Laken unpack how perfectionism quietly keeps women stuck in cycles of overthinking, delay, and guilt. They explore why messy action is the antidote — and how lowering the bar just enough to start can build the self-trust and momentum perfectionism has been stealing. Because confidence isn’t built through perfect plans. It’s built through reps. Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!
