During September's Chat with Crystal, Angela calls in. She shares that as a coach herself, helping guide people to awaken their spiritual wholeness, she is struggling with feeling a little like an imposter. Although she's so energetically high and healed in so many areas of her life, she struggles with this "push and pull" dynamic with her partner of 20 years. Although he's supportive of her spiritual path, he's not on his own, and she often finds herself feeling a little irritated with him, although she loves him and wants to stay in the relationship. As she and Crystal chat, Angela shares that she often holds men at a distance and tends to push them away--something she's done her whole life--and knows that this is something she's doing with her partner. She and Crystal dive into this feeling deeper to identify why she might have trouble letting men in and try a process to begin to push past this. 

Angela shares her ah-ha moment, and Crystal leaves her with some homework to try. This is a call about vulnerability and being open and honest with ourselves.

Why Do I Push Men Away?

On this episode of Chat with Crystal, Michela joins the call. She starts by sharing that she has a poor relationship with money that she needs to work on. And that growing up, although she knew people who made money, she never saw anyone doing work they loved. She was taught that work should be a struggle. And as an academic who now works remotely from her laptop, putting in long days, she feels that because she's not on her feet every day working, her parents don't really think it's work. Just recently starting her training to become an Empowerment Coach, Michela shares that she wants this lucrative and fulfilling career but feels that she has a story and belief holding her back. She gives another example of organizing a vacation with her friends on her card and having anxiety that they aren't going to pay her back. 

As she and Crystal chat into this deeper, the words "trust" and "fear" come up for her. Especially around her mother, the hardships and betrayal she faced on account of her growing up, and the pain she felt always striving for her approval. 

Listen as Michela experiences an emotional breakthrough, and Crystal leaves her with some tangible processes and action steps to try to move the needle on healing this story.
