102: The Show Must Go On! 🎭
I went to New York for a birthday and to cheer on a lifelong friend at the marathon. I came home with stories I could not make up. A Broadway onstage accident, a spectator experience I was wildly unprepared for, and an uninvited dinner guest… we have a lot to talk about. Plus, somewhere between the chaos and the flight home, I found a clue about what I want to do next. If you’ve been asking yourself “What now?” - that part’s for you. In this episode: I was imagining a worst-case scenario at a...

Making A Difficult Decision About Crystal Uncorked (Just Kidding! We're back in 2026!)
It’s episode 100! I remember starting this podcast like it was yesterday. I was so excited. I had been wanting to do it for years and we finally did it. And then people gave me feedback and they loved it and they were tuning in and it was just so fun. And then it got challenging and I took a couple of breaks. And recently I have been thinking about where we going with this show and what are we doing. I've had a lot of people ask me what does success look like for CU and what its purpo...

Molding My Mindset Using A Word of the Year
The word of the year is something that so many people do. The idea is that you pick a word and commit to it throughout the year, it's your theme. The goal is that you're going to put more of a spotlight and an effort on that word to enhance your life, create change, and build upon something that you're trying to achieve. In today’s episode, I reflect on my word of the year from 2023. And talk about how I chose my word of the year for 2024 (because I had two really good words to pick from!) B...

Commit to the Journey, Not the Outcome
In this episode, I want to share a mindset that has had a significant impact on my business results and sales. It's an idea that learned from Marie Forleo to not be 'attached to the results.' I wanted to share with you what happened the first time I attempted to have a six-figure launch when my focus was only on the outcome. And then the difference it made when my team cut me off from the sales results when I hosted my first conference. This is a journey of focusing on the proce...

Boosting Productivity and Creativity with AI and Project Briefs
In today’s episode, I’m going to talk about two tools that I use in my business. First up is DALL·E 3, a plugin with ChatGPT, that I’m a little obsessed with right now for creating really amazing graphics. I share how I recently used it to design a graphic to represent an upcoming retreat I’m hosting as well as some fun personal projects I used it for. Next up is a tool that we can not live without at Crystal Media, our project briefs. This one tool allows us to fully outline an ide...
