Ep. 15: Today's episode is all about reframing our notion that "hustle and struggle equals success" – and opening up to allow the ease and abundance that is our birthright. I sit down with Krystal Brandt an Ease Mentor and Intuitive Business Strategist who helps fast-paced go-getters to slow down and cultivate sustainable self-care practices to live a soul-aligned life. She shares her story of leaving the corporate world behind to follow her inner calling (spoiler alert: it wasn't a smooth and shiny ride!) and drops a ton of actionable tools and strategies to reset your relationship with obligation and create a life filled with self-care, nourishment, and yes – lots of ease.
We dive into:
- The importance of creating your team of mentors
- Her journey from the corporate cubicle to discovering herself
- How she moved from people-pleasing to following her soul’s calling
- What self-care really is, and how our society makes it so difficult to follow this path

- Why allowing social constructs to break down can be pivotal towards your growth
- Learning to trust yourself and show up for yourself in bigger ways
- The big question she uses to define self-care (and why you should be using it!)
- The importance of discovering your core values – and her simple way to find them
- Her top tip for using your core values as a tool for self-nourishment
- How to turn self-care from an item on your to-do list, to an organic, non-negotiable part of your life
- Integrating the masculine and feminine in your daily life
- Dancing between the masculine structure and “doing”, and the feminine intuition and “being"
- How nature can be our muse for ease
- Why ease has everything to do with mindset
