Are You Safe to Be Thin + Healthy?

On this month's episode, Elka calls in. She shares that although she's trying her best to stay high vibing, she feels discouraged. After chatting with Elka more, Crystal learns that apart from being in the healing and wellness industry for 30+ years, Elka is now a part of a network marketing company that sells essential oils. Elka also has an expertise in oils that she carries from her 30+ year-long career. She says she keeps trying to share her business and connect with clients but is having trouble getting them to sign up. Elka also shares that she's been doing this business for a few years. Crystal asks Elka why she's continued to ''do the business'' if she finds it difficult and isn't feeling successful with it. As they chat, Crystal asks Elka to dive deep into her ''why.'' Initially, Elka shares that she wants to help people feel good and be happy, essentially to make the world a better place. Crystal asks again, "why?" And as they dig in, Elka uncovers her real WHY for doing this business and how she needs to change the way she's approaching it. Ellen then joins the call and shares that her life overall is pretty good, but the one thing that she feels is holding her back is her weight. She's not happy with how much she's put on over the years and doesn't like the reflection in the mirror. Having chatted with Ellen before, Crystal asks her to do some reframing and recognize that the weight might have been an unconscious ''safety blanket'' that Ellen created to keep herself safe from past traumas. Ellen shares that years ago, after losing weight in her 30s, she became promiscuous and received harsh comments from women in her life. After chatting this through more with Crystal, Ellen agrees that she's healed and is ready to take some action for herself and her life.
