    Ep. 212 - Authenticity in Action: Building Resilience and Embracing Your True Self (Featuring: Becca Stackhouse-Morson)

    Many people don’t lose themselves in one big moment — they drift away slowly while adapting, caregiving, achieving, or surviving. In this episode of Taboo Talks with Krystal, I’m joined by Becca Stackhouse-Morson, CEO and Founder of Stacked Intent, for a thoughtful conversation about self-connection, authenticity, and staying rooted in who you are as life evolves. Becca brings together her background in Family Studies, nutrition, and relationship education to explore how our relationship with ourselves quietly shapes everything else — our boundaries, our energy, our emotional health, and our ability to show up fully in our lives. We talk about the subtle ways people “vanish,” why daily habits matter more than big breakthroughs, and how intentional self-care can help you remain present and aligned through transitions instead of losing yourself to them. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect inward, and choose yourself — not in a selfish way, but in a sustaining one. What We Explore The inspiration behind Stacked Intent and Becca’s work How authenticity erodes — and how it can be rebuilt Why self-relationship is the foundation of resilience and emotional health The role of daily habits in maintaining self-trust How nutrition and well-being intersect with emotional regulation Staying connected to yourself during seasons of change Why intentional check-ins (including finances) support self-respect Honoring multiple passions without abandoning yourself Featured Resource 🎁  A free guide designed to support self-connection, personal clarity, and intentional living — especially during times of transition. 📘 Access it here:👉 https://www.stackedintent.com/waystonotletyourselfvanishthroughselfrelationship About Our Guest Becca Stackhouse-Morson is the CEO and Founder of Stacked Intent, LLC, a personal growth platform centered on self-care, authenticity, and intentional living.

    Ep. 211 - Finding Your Voice: Reclaiming Sovereignty (Featuring: Jana Dutkiewicz)

    What happens when your voice is silenced for years—and what does it take to reclaim it? In this episode of Taboo Talks with Krystal, I sit down with Jana Dutkiewicz, a Vocal Alchemist, Seer, Channel, and Creatrix whose life’s work centers on voice as a pathway to healing, sovereignty, and embodied truth. Jana shares her deeply personal journey of growing up in a strict religious environment where questioning, bodily autonomy, consent, and self-expression were suppressed. Through years of de-programming, healing, and reconnecting with her voice, Jana discovered that sound—especially intuitive vocalization—can be a powerful tool for transmuting trauma and reclaiming personal power. This conversation explores how religious trauma impacts the body and voice, why so many people struggle to speak their truth, and how reconnecting with sound and vibration can help restore a sense of safety, sovereignty, and inner wisdom. Growing up in religious environments that silence questioning and autonomy How religious trauma impacts consent, self-trust, and embodiment Losing — and reclaiming — your voice as an adult The connection between trauma, the throat, and self-expression Voice as a tool for energetic and emotional healing What vocal alchemy and intuitive sound healing actually are Reclaiming sovereignty, choice, and inner authority Healing beyond words through vibration and sound Vocal Alchemy to Activate Your Deeper PurposeAn intuitive, channeled vocal sound healing session designed to help release energetic blocks and reconnect with your authentic voice and purpose. 🎧 Experience it here:https://youtu.be/hfzT1evjnRA Jana Dutkiewicz is a Vocal Alchemist, Seer, Channel, and mystic with a deep connection to the spiritual realm, including a special relationship with the Angelic realm.

    Ep. 210 - Mindful Kids, Strong Futures: Teaching Children Body Awareness and Confidence (Featuring: Elizabeth Stryker)

    Big feelings don’t mean something is wrong — they mean something is being felt. In this episode of Taboo Talks with Krystal, I’m joined by Elizabeth Stryker, mother, mindfulness advocate, and children’s book illustrator, for a grounding conversation about helping kids navigate emotions through body awareness, breath, and co-regulation. Rather than focusing on fixing feelings or shutting them down, we explore how noticing sensations in the body, naming emotions, and staying present with our children teaches them emotional safety and self-trust. Elizabeth shares the inspiration behind her children’s book, Riley’s Remarkable Roller Coaster Ride, and how mindfulness practices can help kids “ride the rollercoaster” of emotions instead of being overwhelmed by them. This episode is especially for parents who want to respond with connection instead of control — and who are learning right alongside their kids. ✨ What We Talk About What mindfulness really looks like for kids (and parents) Noticing feelings through sensations in the body Why emotional awareness comes before emotional regulation Co-regulation vs. “fixing” or minimizing big feelings How breath helps children find calm in emotional moments Teaching kids that feelings are safe, temporary, and informative Using stories and imagination to build emotional literacy 📘 Featured Book Riley’s Remarkable Roller Coaster RideA beautifully illustrated children’s book that teaches mindfulness breathing and emotional awareness, helping kids learn how to find calm when emotions feel big. (Digital resources and expanded offerings coming soon.) Elizabeth Stryker is a mom, mindfulness practitioner, and children’s book illustrator passionate about helping families build emotional awareness and connection. Through storytelling and simple mindfulness practices, she helps parents guide children toward confidence, self-trust, and emotional resilience. 🔗 Connect with Elizabeth 📸 Instagram: @pelvicstabilitypt 📘 Book: Riley’s Remarkable Roller Coaster Ride If you’re navigating big emotions with your kids and want tools that center connection, presence, and co-regulation, this episode will meet you where you are. 🎧 Listen to the full episode of Taboo Talks with Krystal👉 [Insert podcast episode link here] 👩‍🎨 About Our Guest🎧 Listen to the Full Episode

Teresa is on a mission to help loving parents intentionally raise kind, happy, and emotionally healthy children in a world that often feels anything but kind.

    Ep. 207 - Rising Above Labels: Breaking Myths Around Dyslexia with Jess Arce

    What if the very labels meant to describe you ended up limiting your potential? In this powerful episode of Taboo Talks, host Krystal Casey sits down with Jess Arce, widely known as America’s Dyslexia Expert, to break down the myths, stigma, and outdated narratives surrounding dyslexia and learning differences. Jess is the CEO of I Am Not Dumb, Inc. and the founder of 3D Learning Experts. Through her work, she has helped thousands of individuals and families better understand dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and other learning differences — reframing them not as limitations, but as powerful variations in how the brain works. Growing up with dyslexia herself, Jess knows what it feels like to be mislabeled as “dumb” or “lazy.” Instead of accepting those false narratives, she transformed her lived experience into a mission — empowering others to reclaim their confidence, intelligence, and identity. Together, Krystal and Jess explore the emotional impact of learning labels, the resilience required to rise above them, and the importance of advocacy — for children, parents, and adults still healing from years of misunderstanding. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence How harmful labels can shape identity and self-esteem What dyslexia actually looks like in everyday life How parents can better support and advocate for their children Why different learning styles deserve different systems How to rewrite your story after years of internalized shame 🎧 Listen to more episodes of Taboo Talks:👉 https://krystalcasey.com/podcast 🌿 Learn more about Krystal Casey’s work:👉 https://krystalcasey.com/links/links 🎁 Jess’s Gift to Listeners Jess is offering a free digital copy of her book, I Am Not Dumb, I Am Dyslexic — an eye-opening resource for anyone impacted by dyslexia or learning differences. 👉 Download your free copy here:https://www.iamnotdumb.com You can also learn more about Jess’s advocacy and programs through I Am Not Dumb, Inc. and 3D Learning Experts at the same link.
