My blog and my books invite you to step more fully into who you truly are, to establish a lifestyle that is truly grounded. Focused on authenticity, self-acceptance, intuition and the feminine, all I create and share for you is meant to help you stay healthy — in mind, emotions, body and relationships — by discovering and staying true to you. Authenticity, Boundaries, Compatibility, Sovereignty.

Conversations with Crystal-Marie is no longer my monthly e-news update. Still, the conversation continues here on the blog (subscribe here), on Instagram, Patreon, Bitchute or YouTube. and occasionally on LinkedIn via profile and company. Welcome🌺
Authenticity inevitably drops shame for peace in the midst of this aspect of life. True self-acceptance, as you are, self-love, self-trust, allows you to leave all the victim-shaming where it is, and expand your comfort zone to be okay with the messy phase of being the victim. If it helps…
Read MoreIn a world that usually makes sure we’re always too busy for deep introspection, to find out who you really are and — beyond the panic, beyond survival mode, of a pandemic — what you really, deeply, want most out of this life, is an opportunity I invite you to immerse yourself in, if you can.
Read More“Happy” and “positive” truly begin with authenticity, if they're to be your long-term experience. These are the states our bodies are healthiest in, so it is where we inherently want to spend most of our time — when we are true to ourselves. In a society overrun by demands that we are activists for a cause or take a collective stand or <<enter what occupies your mind most that doesn't bring peace>>, we forget that self-care and inner peace is actually where we get energy for anything else. How do we bring it all together? It starts with you.
Read MoreYour comfort zone is your friend. It is not boring, it is not a prison, it is where you breathe most deeply, where you feel safe and secure, where you are most confident. Your stretch zone is just beyond the boundary of your comfort zone, and often eventually becomes your new comfort zone, as you grow and evolve authentically and at your own pace. What do you think your energy levels would look like if you lived by this? Read more here.
Read MoreHonouring individual sovereignty and free will means I respect that everyone who is alive, and healthy, is capable of making the best decisions for themselves, and their lives, uninfluenced by anyone else. I cringe when I hear coaches and teachers talking about "pushing" or giving "a kick in the pants", because I know it diminishes individual power. I believe we all take action when we're intrinsically ready, and action taken before that often leads to doubt, wondering “what if”, imposter syndrome and subconsciously grieving what we lost. So how does this apply to authenticity, and how do resentment and rebellion fit into any of it? Read on…
Read MoreMindful Entrepreneurship. Serve better clients, better. Wait. What? Yip. I firmly believe we're all of equal value, here, but that we simply are not all compatible. When I say "better clients", I'm therefore referring to clients who aren't trying to change you - personality, pricing or practice - and vice versa. Who values you as you are?
Read MoreDo you feel more confident and secure in your own decision making process after you engage with your advisors or mentors? I have observed this widely accepted (perhaps cultural) trend of condescension, among gurus, coaches, consultants and other advising professionals.
In essence, whether they're congratulating a client patronizingly, or giving clients a "kick in the pants" for taking "too long" to do something, it's becoming the mainstream approach to dishonour people's inherent wisdom. I don't believe someone who respects your individual sovereignty, i.e. your right, responsibility and basic ability to govern your own life well, will ever engage with you in that way. You?
Read MoreWhy can’t I say it hurts? I grew up in a "suck it up and wear a smile" culture, but that is not restricted to where I grew up. It didn't help that dance performances reinforced that message in the physical as well, and that I have been dancing for most of my life. I truly thought resilience meant being able to smile, breathe and function like a well-adjusted individual, regardless of what happens to you. I've been through some brutal things and came out smiling because I thought that meant I was no one's victim. What’s your journey been like? Where is it taking you now? I hope this inspires a greater sense of freedom to simply Be.
