"Don't die before you're dead." -Virginia Woolf Noticing what is present for you without adding stories Taking an anthropological stance to seeing your own emotions We numb ourselves to what is coming up because we are afraid of having to address problems Neutrality is not a lack of emotion Sending light to those affected by the LA fires Protecting your energy when you are enduring or even witnessing collective trauma The beauty of community created by collective trauma Learning not to shame other's responses to large events Being kind to yourself about your capacity for empathy at a given moment Joy is resistance.

In a world that minimizes the subjective experience, it takes swagger to validate our dreams, desires, and visions in co-creation with the unseen, the unexplainable, and the felt. Britten and Natasha invite listeners into the concept of "skilled feelership" - the practice of honoring and developing one's intuitive abilities as a skill, rather than seeing it as a fixed trait. They explore the reclamation of feminine power, intuitive development, and the collective shift happening in 2025 and beyond. With weekly episodes and monthly guests, Crystal Ballers’s primary goal is to support listeners in staying present to their power no matter what astrological and energetic shifts are present.
