  • 47. Tarot as Feedback: Intuition, Archetypes, and Choice
    Jan 30 2026

    Intuition isn’t something we have to learn, it’s something we remember. Tarot helps us do that.

    Crystal sits down with fellow female entrepreneur, yogi, and tarot teacher Betina Bethlem to explore intuition as a living intelligence woven through the nervous system, the body, and consciousness itself. Together, they reframe tarot not as fate, but as a gentle prediction based on the energetics of the now giving you the opportunity to attune to where you want to go. Think of it as your friendly wake-up call AND your biggest cheerleader.

    The conversation explores why modern culture over-indexes logic, how this disconnects us from deeper forms of intelligence, and why intuition isn’t random or mystical, but embodied, patterned, and accessible. They also reflect on the rise of AI and the risk of outsourcing intuition, inviting listeners back into direct relationship with their own inner guidance.

    This episode is an invitation to work with energy instead of fear, to meet change with curiosity, and to remember that intuition isn’t outside of you. It’s already alive within you.

  • 46. Consciousness, Time and the Way We Experience Reality
    Jan 27 2026

    The universe may not have a fixed history.

    What we experience as “the past” could be shaped by the questions we ask in the present.

    In this conversation, Crystal and Cat explore the nature of time through consciousness, physics, and lived experience, unpacking how memory, perception, and awareness interact to shape reality itself.

    Rather than seeing time as linear and unchangeable, this episode invites a different perspective: one where the present moment holds creative power, where meaning isn’t static, and where our relationship to the past may be more flexible than we realize.

    This is not about escaping reality, it’s about understanding it more deeply.

    If you’ve ever questioned time, felt the past loosen its grip, or sensed that reality responds to awareness, this episode opens a new frame.

  • 45. Egypt, Sacred Sites, and the Mechanics of Awakening
    Jan 16 2026

    Egypt doesn’t activate the mind, it activates your whole being.

    In this episode of SoulPod, Crystal shares her direct experience inside Egypt’s sacred temples, including the King’s Chamber, where consciousness activation becomes impossible to intellectualize. What unfolds isn’t symbolic or theoretical, it’s embodied, disorienting, and deeply revealing.

    Crystal also explains why sacred sites as a whole are powerful experiences on the awakening journey and how to keep that connection going even after you return home.

    This conversation explores why Egypt’s temples still function as energetic technologies, how ancient spaces trigger remembrance at a cellular level, and why moments of awakening can feel destabilizing rather than calm.

    If you’ve ever felt called to Egypt, experienced sudden inner shifts you couldn’t explain, or sensed that awakening isn’t always gentle, this episode meets you there.

    Jan 9 2026

    Transformation doesn’t begin by fixing the world around us, it begins with the willingness to turn inward.

    In this SoulPod conversation, Crystal sits down with Mandy Hamilton for a grounded, honest exploration of healing, self-awareness, and the inner work required to create real change. Together, they unpack how subconscious patterns shape our lives, why personal responsibility is essential to transformation, and what it truly means to heal rather than bypass discomfort.

    This episode moves beyond surface-level spirituality and into the deeper layers of emotional truth, habits, and consciousness. Mandy shares insights on breaking old cycles, cultivating compassion for yourself, and learning how to listen to what your inner world is asking for, especially during moments of transition.

  • 43. Why Manifestation in 2026 Might Look Different
    Jan 2 2026

    As the year comes to a close, this SoulPod episode offers a moment to pause, reflect, and integrate everything that’s been lived, felt, and learned.

    This episode shares an intimate end-of-year reflection on consciousness, cycles, and the deeper meaning of completion. It explores what it really means to close a chapter, not through force or pressure, but through awareness, presence, and truth. From honoring grief and growth to releasing outdated identities and patterns, this episode invites listeners to soften into reflection rather than rush into resolution.

    This is not about setting goals or manifesting the next version of yourself. It’s about listening to what the year has shaped within you, recognizing what no longer needs to be carried forward, and allowing space for clarity to emerge naturally.

    A contemplative close to the year, and a gentle invitation to step into what’s next with intention, honesty, and trust.

  • 41. Grief, Identity & the Love That Lives Behind Loss
    Dec 19 2025

    Grief is one of the most profound initiations we face as human beings…

    In this tender SoulPod conversation, Crystal sits with Catherine Mansfield to explore grief not as something to “move past,” but as a powerful initiation into a deeper relationship with love, identity, and the soul.

    Cat shares her own story of losing her father on Christmas, the shock, the disorientation, the waves that come without warning, and the unexpected moments of beauty that cracked her open to a deeper spiritual relationship with him on the other side.

    They talk about the grief that hides inside everyday life: lost versions of ourselves, aging, motherhood, choices not taken, timelines that dissolve.

    This episode is an invitation to slow down, feel what’s true, be kind to yourself and discover the wisdom that emerges when we stop trying to outrun our pain.

    If you’re moving through the loss of a person, a path, or a part of yourself, this conversation is here to hold you. And if you're ready for gentle support on this journey, join us inside SoulPod for the Grief Portal, launching today 12/19.

  • 40. Rewiring Your Subconscious: Habits, Programming & Inner Change with Anna Machkalov
    Dec 12 2025

    So much of who we think we are… isn’t actually us.
    It’s programming.

    In this mind-opening SoulPod episode, Crystal sits down with subconscious guide Anna Machkalov to explore how much of our behavior, emotional reactions, and even our “choices” are shaped long before we’re aware of them. They dive into the human mind’s evolutionary wiring, why habits are so hard to break, and how the subconscious prioritizes safety over happiness, even when it sabotages the life you consciously want.

    Anna breaks down how the critical mind filters our desires, how hypnosis bypasses outdated programming, and why true transformation only happens when the subconscious finally feels safe enough to change.

    Along the way, they explore dreams, lucid states, subconscious symbols, and the moments when the mind reveals what you’re actually ready to heal.

    This episode is an invitation to understand your programming, reconnect with your inner world, and finally step into the version of yourself you’ve been trying to become.
