  • Summary

  • Podcast Description: Boundaries, Business & Balance Tactical tools for moms building businesses and a life they actually enjoy. Do you ever close your laptop at the end of the day… and wonder if anything you did really mattered? Are you constantly juggling client work, sports schedules, dinner, and a to-do list that seems to grow faster than you can check it off? Maybe you’ve asked yourself: “Why does my business feel like another child that needs me 24/7?” “I wanted freedom… so why do I feel trapped by my own schedule?” “Why do I feel guilty no matter where I am—at work or with my family?” If you’re a mom building a business you love—but you’re tired of doing it all, holding it all, and faking like you’re fine—this podcast is for you. Hi, I’m Crystal. I’m a mom, life coach, and former people-pleaser turned boundaries-and-balance rebel who finally said, “enough.” I know what it’s like to be the one who handles everything—clients, calendars, meals, school pickups—while silently wondering if I’ll ever get to feel fully present again. I spent years proving my worth through productivity, believing rest was something I had to earn. I built a business that was successful… but secretly stealing my joy. I created this podcast because I didn’t want to choose between a business I love and a life I barely get to live. And I know you don’t want to either. Inside Boundaries, Business & Balance, you’ll get: ✔ Tactical time-saving tools to reclaim 10+ hours a week ✔ Mindset shifts to stop overworking and start trusting your systems ✔ Client stories that prove you’re not alone (and that change is possible) ✔ Emotional truth-telling that goes deeper than surface-level “productivity hacks” ✔ Real talk about motherhood, CEO life, and the invisible weight women carry And it’s all grounded in my RISE framework—designed to help you Reclaim your time, Implement systems, Simplify your work, and Embody a business that gives you space to breathe and freedom to live. This is where burnout ends—and real presence begins. 🎧 New episodes drop every Tuesday and Friday. Let this be the reset button you didn’t know you needed. 📬 Want more support?

  • 04//You’re Not Lazy—You’re Just Overwhelmed
    May 1 2025

    Still saying “yes” to every client request, answering Slack messages at 9 PM, and working through lunch like it’s a badge of honor?

    In this episode of Boundaries, Business & Balance, I’m calling out the chaos that high-performing women solopreneurs face every day—the packed schedules, the constant pings, the low-key panic when we even think about stepping away from our laptops.

    If you’ve ever felt like your business owns you, this is your wake-up call.

    Here’s what we’re diving into today:

    • Why the “Always On” trap is draining your energy and suffocating your growth

    • How to carve out 10+ guilt-free hours a week without losing momentum

    • My 3-step strategy for creating unshakable boundaries that still support big results

    • What it really means to unplug—and how to do it without the panic spiral

    • Real-life shifts my clients made to stop the burnout cycle (and breathe again)

    You built your business for freedom, not to be its full-time babysitter.

    Let’s get you back in the CEO seat—with your time, energy, and joy fully intact.

    Apr 28 2025

    How many times have you said “yes” to something you immediately regretted?

    Whether it’s a meeting, a favor, or that “quick” coffee chat that ends up stealing your afternoon… Saying yes when you really want to say no is draining—and it’s time to stop.

    In this episode, we’re rewriting the narrative around saying no. You’ll learn:

    • Why saying “no” is not selfish—it’s strategic
    • The moment I realized my “yes” was costing me my peace
    • 3 real-life scripts you can use to say no with kindness and clarity
    • How to set boundaries in your business and your personal life—without guilt
    • A bonus mindset shift if you're a mom (or constantly carrying emotional weight)

    Plus, I’m giving you this week’s Unplug Challenge: Say no one time. Just once. No apology. No over-explaining. Just a clear, confident “no.”

    Let that “no” be enough—and then come tell me about it in the Facebook group (link below!).
