The Low & Slow Podcast

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!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

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 repsYou’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!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

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.Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

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 changeWhat You’ll LearnCrystal 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.The pit is not Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

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.Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscFollow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

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!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

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.Breathe low & slow.You’re learning a new way to be.______Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

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!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

For years women have been told they must choose who they are.Be bold and driven… or be soft and surrendered.In this episode, Crystal and Laken explore the tension many women feel between ambition and softness, unpacking the all-or-nothing patterns that keep us swinging between girlboss grind culture and rest-and-receive messaging.Through nervous system awareness, identity work, and honest conversation, they show how sustainable growth actually lives in the middle — where drive and softness can coexist.Because the truth is, you don’t have to choose.Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

What actually happens on a women’s retreat?In this episode, Crystal, Laken, and Laura share the real girl talk behind retreats — the hesitation women often feel before saying yes, the vulnerability that unfolds once they arrive, and the powerful shifts that happen when women step away from their everyday roles.This conversation explores the sisterhood, emotional healing, and personal growth that inspired the creation of the Peace.Play.Love. retreat in Costa Rica, and why slowing down can unlock the clarity many women have been searching for.Check out our Women’s Retreat we are hosting —The Peace.Play.Love Retreat Deets: https://offers.thatgirlmagic.co/ppl-retreatRequest A Remix!

Rewiring the Default Pattern of Doing It AloneIf asking for help makes your chest tighten… If you’d rather figure it out yourself… If receiving support feels more uncomfortable than over-functioning…You’re not dramatic. You’re patterned.In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal & Laken unpack why asking for help feels so hard for so many women — not because we’re incapable, but because our nervous systems learned that independence was safer than vulnerability.They explore how old wounds, conditional support, early conditioning, and identity armor shape our relationship with receiving. Why asking can feel like losing control. Why not asking can quietly build resentment. And why over-functioning often masquerades as strength.This conversation isn’t about forcing vulnerability. It’s about building safety in it.Crystal & Laken walk through the nervous system’s role in help-seeking, the fear of rejection and power dynamics, and the hidden cost of always being “the capable one.” They also introduce a practical 7-day support challenge designed to help listeners collect evidence that asking doesn’t equal danger.✨ Small steps build trust. ✨ Trust builds safety. ✨ Safety makes support possible.If you’ve been doing it alone because that’s all your body knows — this episode offers a new way forward.In this episode, you’ll explore:Why asking for help activates the nervous systemHow past wounds and conditional support shape your default patternThe link between independence, control, and emotional safetyHow resentment builds when support goes unaskedScripts for asking in a grounded, self-respecting wayThe 7-Day Support Asking ChallengeHow to build a support web beyond one personRewiring inherited beliefs around vulnerabilityYou don’t have to collapse to be supported. You don’t have to earn help. You just have to practice asking — slowly.Breathe low. You’re not alone in this. 🤍Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

Sometimes it’s not about you.And sometimes… it is.In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal & Laken unpack the nuanced, often uncomfortable topic of projections — what they are, how to recognize them, and how to respond without getting recruited into someone else’s inner chaos.Because projections are sneaky. They can sound like feedback. They can feel personal. They can trigger old wounds.But not every emotionally charged comment is yours to carry.This conversation explores how insecurity, discomfort, and unresolved emotion often get redirected outward — and how to stay grounded when that happens. You’ll learn how to distinguish between true feedback and loaded projection, how to notice your body cues when you’re being activated, and how to interrupt the pattern before you spiral.The goal isn’t to become detached or defensive. It’s to stay sovereign.Crystal & Laken offer tools rooted in emotional intelligence, curiosity, and boundaries — so you can respond like a grounded grown woman instead of absorbing or escalating what was never yours to begin with.✨ Because maturity isn’t about shutting down. It’s about staying present without over-personalizing.In this episode, you’ll explore:What a projection actually is (and what it’s not)How to tell the difference between feedback and projectionWhy projections often stem from insecurity or discomfortThe body cues that signal you’re being triggeredHow to interrupt the projection cycleUsing curiosity instead of defensivenessStaying grounded without absorbing someone else’s chaosYou don’t have to carry what isn’t yours. And when it is yours — you can meet it with clarity instead of collapse.Breathe low. Stay steady. Respond with self-trust. 🤍Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

What Your Mars Placement RevealsUsing Astrology as a Language for Real-Life PatternsHow you take action.How you handle confrontation.How you respond when things get uncomfortable.These patterns affect every area of your life, your work, your relationships, your self-trust — whether you’ve ever looked at a birth chart or not.In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal and Laken explore these patterns through a grounded, practical lens of astrology, using Mars — the planet of action, drive, anger, desire, and assertion as a tool for self-awareness rather than a box to put yourself in.This is not about labels or predictions.It’s about giving language to behaviors you’re already living.If you’ve ever said:“I hate conflict.”“I get heated fast.”“I shut down.”“I need time before I respond.”That’s Mars at work.Crystal and Laken share personal examples of how different Mars placements show up in real life, how confrontation styles can clash when nervous systems aren’t understood, and why none of these responses are wrong — they’re simply different.This episode invites curiosity over judgment, compassion over blame, and better questions over quick reactions. By understanding how you’re wired to move, act, and assert yourself, you gain more choice in how you communicate — especially when emotions are high.✨ Astrology here becomes a mirror, not a rulebook — offering insight that leads to tangible behavior change and deeper connection.In this episode, you’ll explore:Why Mars represents how you take action and handle conflictCommon confrontation styles and what drives themHow nervous systems influence reactions during conflictWhy “I hate conflict” is often a misunderstanding, not a truthHow compassion and curiosity improve communicationUsing astrology as a tool for awareness, not limitationAsking better questions to create better outcomesThis is an entry point into astrology that meets you where you are — practical, human, and immediately applicable.Breathe low.Get curious.And start noticing how you move through the moments that matter most.Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribFollow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

Responsibility, Conditioning, and the Quiet Cost of Being “The Capable One”Being the firstborn daughter isn’t just a birth order, it’s a role.In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal & Laken explore the invisible job title so many high-capacity women have been carrying their entire lives: the responsible one, the emotional fixer, the one who notices what needs to be done… and just does it.You didn’t wake up and decide to take on the weight. You noticed the gap. You stepped in. You got praised for it. And that praise quietly became your identity.Through story-led reflection and nervous-system truth, this episode unpacks how early conditioning around responsibility, emotional labor, and competence shapes adult patterns of over-functioning, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment. Crystal & Laken name the cost of always being “the strong one,” and why learning to soften doesn’t mean losing your edge — it means reclaiming your energy.This is a mirror for the woman who’s been holding it all together for everyone else… and is finally ready to ask what it would feel like to set some of it down.You’re allowed to rest without earning it.You’re allowed to disappoint people.You’re allowed to put this down.Tune in if you’re ready to explore:Why firstborn daughters often become emotional managers by defaultHow childhood praise can turn into lifelong pressureThe nervous-system roots of over-responsibilityWhy strength doesn’t mean doing it all aloneHow to begin setting boundaries without guiltTiny, practical reps for releasing emotional laborWhat it looks like to choose softness without shrinkingThis episode isn’t about blaming the past — it’s about recognizing the pattern, honoring how it protected you, and giving yourself permission to choose differently now.Breathe low. Let yourself be held. You don’t have to carry this alone anymore. 🤍Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

How to set boundaries when it doesn't feel safe yetSetting boundaries is often framed as empowering — but for many women, it feels anything but safe.In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal and Laken unpack why boundary-setting can feel emotionally charged, confusing, or even threatening, especially when you’ve been conditioned to prioritize harmony, performance, or other people’s needs over your own.They explore how emotional avoidance can quietly masquerade as boundaries, and why real boundaries require emotional presence, self-regulation, and self-loyalty — not shutdown or distance.This conversation starts where most boundary work is missed: with yourself. Crystal and Laken walk listeners through how to build internal safety first, involve the nervous system, and collect “reps” of staying with your own emotions before taking boundaries into bigger spaces like the workplace, relationships, and family dynamics.Rather than focusing on perfect scripts or outcomes, this episode reframes boundaries as a relationship with yourself — one built through honesty, regulation, and staying present through discomfort.✨ If you’ve ever felt like boundaries “don’t work,” leave you spiraling afterward, or feel unsafe to set — this episode offers a slower, more sustainable way forward.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why boundaries can feel unsafe even when they’re necessaryHow emotional avoidance can look like “healthy” boundary-settingWhy self-regulation comes before communicationHow to practice boundaries internally before externallyWhat self-loyalty actually looks like in real lifeHow to bring boundaries into work, relationships, and family with more clarityBreathe low.

From Problem → Pattern → Opportunity → ActionIn this integrative episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal & Laken guide listeners through a deceptively simple but powerful truth: the language you use determines whether your nervous system goes into defense or into trust.Change doesn’t fail because you’re incapable. It fails because the words you’re using frame your experience as a threat instead of information.In this conversation, they break down why calling everything a problem keeps your body in fight mode — and how shifting just one word can change everything. By reframing challenges as patterns, you move from self-criticism into curiosity. From there, patterns become opportunities, and opportunities create space for aligned action.✨ One breath recap: Problem = fight. Pattern = information. Opportunity = choice. Action = trust.Crystal & Laken walk listeners through a practical exercise: choosing one thing they’ve been calling a problem, running it through the full progression, and taking one small action to build self-trust in real time. This episode is less about insight alone and more about integration — bringing awareness into the body, the language, and the next step forward.Because most women don’t need more discipline. They need better language.Tune in if you’re ready to:Understand how language impacts your nervous systemShift from shame-driven self-talk into curiosity and clarityReframe problems into patterns you can work withCreate choice instead of pressureTake small, sustainable actions that build self-trustMove from awareness into embodied follow-throughFollow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

What No One Sees Before the TransformationIn this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal & Laken pull back the curtain on what actually happens before the glow up.Because while the highlight reel gets the applause, the real work happens in the quiet moments — the uncomfortable conversations, the boundary-setting, the self-reflection, and the decisions no one claps for.This episode is about the unsexy, vulnerable, and often unseen work that builds momentum over time. Crystal & Laken challenge the idea that awareness alone is enough, reminding listeners that transformation requires action — especially when it feels uncomfortable, messy, or uncertain.They explore why we default to familiar patterns even when they keep us stuck, why “feeling ready” is often just an emotional delay tactic, and how being seen in your messy middle is part of owning your growth.✨ The glow up isn’t the work — it’s the byproduct of choosing yourself when it’s inconvenient.Tune in if you’re ready to:Understand what really happens behind the glow upMove from awareness into aligned actionBreak free from default comfort patternsNormalize the messy middle of growthQuestion what you truly want vs. what you think you should wantSet boundaries that support your evolutionTake ownership of your truth — even when it’s uncomfortableFollow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

TGM Turns 1 Celebrate Our Wins With Us!In this milestone episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal & Laken pause to celebrate something big — That Girl Magic™ turning one.This conversation is a reflection, a celebration, and a love letter to the journey.

They reflect on the stories that were shared, the confidence that was built, and the ripple effect of choosing to believe in themselves — even when the path wasn’t clear.This episode is also a reminder to slow down long enough to celebrate the wins, acknowledge the growth you’ve lived, and let yourself feel proud before racing toward the next goal.✨ You don’t need to wait until the destination to honor how far you’ve come.Tune in if you’re ready to:Reflect on your own growth and winsBe reminded that action creates clarityNormalize learning as you goSee how mindset shifts create real transformationFeel inspired by community, coaching, and shared storiesCelebrate one year of That Girl Magic™ — and what’s still unfoldingFollow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

From Force to FreedomIn this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal & Laken unpack one of the most exhausting inner tug-of-wars high-capacity women face: the swing between discipline and devotion.Discipline, as most women were taught, feels like grit-your-teeth force — living in the future, chasing the next win, postponing rest until you’ve “earned it.” Devotion, on the other hand, feels like a soft pull into the present — intuitive, attuned, alive. But without structure, devotion can quietly turn into drift… where “aligned” becomes avoidance and outcomes start to blur.Inside this tension lives a familiar pattern: ✨ future-fixated grind ↔ present-moment float Neither side alone feels like freedom.Crystal & Laken explore how discipline doesn’t have to be punishment, and devotion doesn’t have to mean lack of direction. Together, they reframe both as supportive forces — when held in balance — and offer a new way to relate to structure, presence, and self-trust.This conversation is an invitation to stop choosing sides and start creating a container that holds both: discipline that serves you, and devotion that keeps you connected to yourself.✨ Freedom isn’t found in force or flow alone — it’s found in the dance between the two.Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, hosts Crystal & Laken dive into a pattern almost every woman knows too well — self-abandonment. The moments where you silence your needs, override your intuition, say yes when you mean no, or shape-shift into who you think you’re supposed to be.They unpack why women learn these behaviors, how people-pleasing becomes a survival strategy, and the subtle ways self-abandonment erodes authenticity, boundaries, and emotional well-being.Through real conversation, somatic awareness, and their signature Low & Slow approach, Crystal & Laken show listeners how to notice the pattern, create space before reacting, and normalize the process of rebuilding self-loyalty one choice at a time.This episode is equal parts compassion and clarity — a gentle call-in toward remembering that you matter too, and your needs aren’t negotiable.✨ Self-abandonment might be familiar… but self-loyalty is your birthright.Tune in if you’re ready to:Identify your people-pleasing patternsUnderstand the root of self-abandonmentBuild self-awareness and body cues around “the freeze”Normalize saying no (without apologizing)Make choices from grounded presence, not panicBreak the resentment cycle created by over-givingPractice vulnerability and authentic self-expressionBuild evidence for self-trust and self-loyaltyFollow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal & Laken get real about the voice every woman knows too well — the inner mean girl. The critic. The spiraler. The one who pushes, pokes, doubts, and demands.But here’s the truth: She’s not going anywhere. And pretending she isn’t there only makes her louder.Instead of trying to silence her, Crystal & Laken teach you how to work with her — to get curious, create separation from her voice, and transform that inner critic into an inner hype girl who motivates you from compassion, not shame.This conversation goes deep into the tricky relationship between shame and motivation — especially for high-achieving women who’ve learned to use pressure as fuel. Together, they break down why shame “burns hot,” why it’s not sustainable, and how self-expectations can quietly sabotage your peace, productivity, and self-worth.✨ The goal isn’t to get rid of your inner critic — it’s to understand her, rewire her, and give her a new job.Tune in if you’re ready to:Recognize your inner mean girl without identifying AS herUnderstand the difference between shame-driven motivation and sustainable disciplineCatch spiraling before it snowballsBuild self-compassion as your new internal baselineShift from harsh expectations to empowering self-talkBecome your own hype girl — grounded, clear, and confidentFollow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

Meet the Three Archetypes of the Women We ServeIn this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal & Laken introduce The TGM Trilogy—the three core archetypes of the women they coach, support, and empower inside That Girl Magic.These archetypes aren’t labels…They’re mirrors.They help women understand where they are, what they’re carrying, and what they need next in their personal growth journey.Crystal & Laken unpack how each archetype shows up in her self-talk, emotional world, survival patterns, and the stories she tells herself. Through honest conversation and real-life examples, they explore the themes of feeling stuck, struggling to ask for help, navigating self-reliance, and finding the courage to soften into support.This episode is a moment of deep self-reflection—an invitation for listeners to see themselves more clearly and compassionately. Because the truth is:✨ Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you have to stay stuck.✨ Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.✨ You don’t need all the answers to move forward.✨ Awareness is the first step toward empowerment.Tune in if you’re ready to:Identify which TGM archetype you resonate withUnderstand the patterns beneath your self-talkHonor your feelings without judgmentAsk for support in a way that feels safeBegin the shift from stuck → self-ledEmpower your next level of personal growth!Follow along, tune in, and let’s get into your next mindset shift!It means the world to us if you would rate, like, save, share, and most importantly hit that subscribe button!

In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast, Crystal & Laken share something special — a peek into their next evolution: the Peace. Play. Love. Women’s Retreat, coming June 2026.Joined by their dear friend and fellow coach Laura Southall, the conversation flows like a reunion of sisters — one rooted in divine connection, deep trust, and the kind of alignment that only happens when the right people find each other at the right time.Together, they share the story behind how they met, the sacred sisterhood that blossomed through their mastermind experience, and how their shared values inspired the creation of this transformative retreat experience for women.The Peace. Play. Love. retreat is designed for high-capacity women who appear “together” but feel disconnected inside — the ones who are ready to release survival mode, reconnect with their voice, and return home to peace, play, and self-trust. Through storywork, somatic practice, and identity reinvention, this retreat invites women to dismantle guilt and shame while rediscovering their power.✨ This isn’t just a getaway — it’s a remembrance. A recalibration. A return to yourself.Tune in if you’re ready to:Hear the heart behind the Peace. Play.
