What if the chaos in your life isn’t coming at you… it’s coming from you?
In this powerful episode, Hazel sits down with Dr. Crystal Ann England — licensed marriage and family therapist, artist, mom, partner, and forever learner — to get radically honest about self-awareness, self-sabotage, and what it really takes to build a life that feels like yours.
From growing up in a big, chaotic family to becoming a therapist and moving her entire life from Florida to Georgia, Dr. Crystal shares how she stopped blaming circumstances and started admitting the hard truth:
This episode is a mirror for high-achieving, heart-centered women who are tired of overthinking, over-functioning, and over-giving — and are finally ready to choose peace on purpose.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn
- “Boundaries” vs. “Parameters”
Dr. Crystal’s reframe on boundaries — moving from brick walls to gates you control, so you can protect your peace without hardening your heart. - What your relationships actually say about your self-love
Why she only wants women around her who love their husbands, love their kids, and love themselves — and what that reveals about emotional safety. - Shame, scars, and owning your story
How to stop letting your past be used against you — and why your scars qualify you to help others, not disqualify you - Letting go of timelines and pressure
What Dr. Crystal’s PhD journey taught her about trusting the process when it feels painfully slow.
This Episode Is For You If:
- You’re the strong friend, fixer, or helper who’s quietly exhausted
- You’ve restarted your life (new city, new chapter, new job) and feel a little lost
- You suspect you might be self-sabotaging your peace, relationships, or opportunities
- You’re in a season of isolation and wondering if it’s punishment or protection
- You want healthier friendships, marriage, and motherhood — without losing yourself
- You’re a faith-driven woman on a healing, self-worth, or personal growth journey
