Hello and welcome to Crystal's couch.

I'm Crystal and this is the place where we can kick off our shoes and have the kind of conversations that are both entertaining and meaningful.

So think of this as a metaphorical couch, a place for honesty and laughter and what it means to live and figure all of this insane life

stuff out together. So this show is more than about just telling stories. It's about creating

a space where advice and perspective meet a little bit of humor and a lot of truth. I've been

podcasting for well over a decade. I am truly y'all's OG. But along the way,

I took a big step in my own journey by going back to school and earning a master's degree

in mental health counseling. Now, I am not a therapist, which is a fact I will be repeating

quite frequently, but that education and training

really did inform the way I see the world and the way I want to help people think through

the issues that they're facing. On Crystal's couch, some weeks you'll hear from guests and some

weeks it'll just be us. Either way, the mission is the same, to give you a mix of insight and

entertainment that leaves you feeling a

little bit lighter and a little more understood so grab a seat i'm glad you've joined me follow us

online at chrysalis couch and if you have a question for me send it on over to advice at

christmascouch.com i'll see you next week
