The Embodied Baddie Podcast

Busy season doesn’t mean you put yourself on the back burner and promise you’ll come back for her later.In this episode of The Embodied Baddie Podcast, I’m sharing the five non-negotiables keeping me grounded, supported, healthy, and—most importantly—not losing my fucking mind during one of the busiest and most successful seasons we’ve ever had in our retail business.Because I hear it constantly from women business owners:“Once I get through busy season…”“Once the holidays are over…”“Once things calm down… then I’ll take care of myself.”Except there’s always another busy season. Another launch. Another problem. Another reason to wait.And I refuse to build a successful business at the expense of actually enjoying my life.In this episode, we’re talking about:Why getting support at home might actually need to happen before hiring more support in your businessThe three different layers of support I refuse to go without during demanding seasonsWhy I hired MORE coaching support when business got busier—not lessHow I’ve prioritized my fitness and lost 12 pounds during one of the busiest seasons of my careerThe boundaries I have around what I allow into my brain when my capacity is already being stretchedWhy “I don’t have time” usually isn’t actually a time problem—it’s a capacity problemThe pattern that keeps high-achieving women putting the business, their team, and their family first while continuously putting themselves lastWhy the goal isn’t to grind your way through success so you can finally enjoy your life laterYou do not get a trophy for doing everything yourself.And you don’t have to choose between building a wildly successful business and having the energy, health, relationships, support, and LIFE you actually want.The goal is to build the business while having the time of your life—not survive it long enough to hopefully enjoy yourself someday.

Welcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast! This week's episode is a special one—an audio drop pulled directly from the Embodied Baddie Lounge, my private community where I share the conversations that don't always make it onto social media.Today we're talking about one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck—not because they don't know what to do, but because they stop embodying the version of themselves that made the decision in the first place.Whether your goal is to lose weight, grow a business, improve your relationships, or completely reinvent your life, this episode will challenge you to ask yourself one powerful question:Who am I choosing to be today?In This Episode You'll Learn:Why Decisions Aren't EnoughMaking the decision is exciting—but lasting transformation happens when you continue choosing that future version of yourself long after the motivation wears off.The Difference Between Deciding & EmbodyingWhy so many people hire the coach, buy the program, or commit to the goal... only to slowly slip back into old habits when life gets busy.The Quote That Changes Everything"When you say you'll start when things slow down, you're also saying you'll quit when things get busy."We'll unpack why waiting for the "perfect time" is actually keeping you exactly where you are.What My Fitness Journey Is Teaching Me About SuccessI share what's happening behind the scenes of my own nutrition and fitness journey—including the uncomfortable moments when I absolutely don't feel like showing up... and why I do it anyway.Why Discomfort Isn't a Sign You're Doing It WrongFeeling tired, bored, hungry, or unmotivated doesn't mean you've failed. More often than not, it means you're in the exact place where growth happens.The Problem With the "I Messed Up" MentalityOne missed workout. One off-plan meal. One bad day. Why treating one mistake like you've ruined everything is keeping you stuck in the cycle of starting over.How This Applies to Business, TooI didn't build my business by thinking like the version of me making $100,000. I made decisions from the perspective of the woman building a multi-million-dollar company—and then kept choosing her every single day.My Favorite Reminder From This EpisodeThe future version of you doesn't magically appear after you hit the goal.She is created every single time you choose discipline over excuses, commitment over convenience, and progress over perfection.That version of you isn't waiting on the other side.She's built one decision at a time.If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear what landed most.

Welcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast! Today we're diving into a conversation that might challenge the way you think about mentorship, coaching, and investing in your own growth.If you've ever wished someone would just tell you exactly what to do... this episode is for you.Because here's the truth:Mentorship isn't about getting free advice.It's about becoming someone worth investing in.In This Episode You'll Learn:The Mistake I Made Early in BusinessI desperately wanted someone successful to show me the way—but I wasn't yet in a place where I truly valued or implemented the advice I was receiving.Why Free Advice Rarely Creates TransformationWe often believe information is what we're missing. In reality, implementation and commitment are usually the bigger problem.The Investments That Changed EverythingI share how investing in mentorship—from Boutique Hub to somatic coaching and beyond—completely transformed not only my business, but the way I think, lead, and make decisions.Why I've Invested Nearly $200,000 in CoachingThe return wasn't just financial. It was years of mistakes avoided, faster growth, greater confidence, and becoming the kind of leader I wanted to be.The Question Every Aspiring Mentee Should AskInstead of asking, "Who will mentor me?"Ask yourself: "Why would someone successful want to invest their time in me?"The Unexpected Mentor Who Changed My BusinessI share the story of meeting one of the most successful people in the archery industry—and why he generously answers my questions.What Actually Attracts Great MentorsIt's rarely about your revenue or experience.It's about coachability, humility, consistency, curiosity, and proving you're willing to do the work.The Biggest TakeawayThe right mentor can save you years of trial and error.But mentorship isn't about someone carrying you.It's about showing up as someone who's willing to listen, implement, and earn the opportunity to learn from people who've already walked the path.When you become that person, you'll be amazed at how many doors begin to open.If this episode challenged your perspective, I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway. Share it with me on Instagram or inside the Embodied Baddie Lounge.And if you know another entrepreneur who's trying to figure everything out alone, send this episode their way. Sometimes the fastest path isn't working harder—it's learning from someone who's already been where you want to go.Until next time, keep becoming the woman your future self is counting on.

Welcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast! In this week's episode, I'm joined by my friend Deb for a candid conversation about dating, self-worth, healing old wounds, and what happens when you finally decide you're no longer available for less than you deserve.Deb and I first connected online years ago, but our friendship deepened during a trip to Napa when she was navigating a difficult breakup and questioning the kinds of relationships she had been accepting. What followed was a powerful journey of raising her standards, healing old patterns, and learning to stop seeking validation from people who were never capable of giving her what she truly wanted.This conversation feels less like an interview and more like two girlfriends sitting down with a glass of wine and talking about the lessons that changed everything.In This Episode We Discuss:How ambitious women often settle for less than they deserve in relationshipsThe difference between wanting a relationship and needing validationWhy self-worth isn't something you think—it's something you embodyThe hidden patterns that keep us choosing unavailable or low-effort partnersHow childhood wounds can quietly influence our dating decisionsThe importance of communicating needs and expectations clearlyWhy raising your standards isn't selfish—it's necessaryLearning to trust yourself instead of chasing approvalHow healing emotional wounds creates space for healthier relationshipsThe difference between knowing your worth and actually living like you know your worthA Few Powerful Truths From This Conversation:Just because someone is interested in you doesn't mean they're right for you.Attention and effort are not the same thing.Being independent doesn't make you immune to wanting love, connection, and partnership.Standards aren't walls—they're filters.You don't have to earn healthy love.The Biggest Takeaway:One of the most powerful shifts Deb experienced wasn't finding the right relationship—it was becoming the version of herself who no longer accepted the wrong ones.When you stop settling, everything changes.Not because the dating pool changes.Because you do.Connect With Us:If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs the reminder that they are allowed to want more.And if you're doing the work of raising your standards, healing old wounds, and creating a life that feels as good as it looks, come join us inside the Embodied Baddie community.Until next time, stay audacious, stay embodied, and never settle for crumbs when you're meant for the whole damn meal.

Welcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast! I'm your host, Chrystal Rose, and today we're talking about one of the sneakiest ways we end up playing small: accepting limitations that were never ours to begin with.This episode is from a voice note I dropped inside the Embodied Baddie Lounge after noticing how often people unknowingly hand us their fears, assumptions, and beliefs about what's possible.Just because someone else couldn't do it doesn't mean you can't.Just because someone else failed, doesn't mean you're destined to.And just because someone believes something is impossible doesn't make it true.In this episode, we're unpacking how to recognize these borrowed beliefs, stop carrying them around, and start creating your own reality instead.In This Episode We Discuss:How other people's fears quietly become our limitationsWhy you don't have to accept every belief that's handed to youThe simple mindset shift that creates more possibility and opportunityHow to separate your truth from someone else's experienceWhy failure isn't proof that something isn't meant for youThe power of "This or something better"How to stay available for opportunities you can't see yetA Powerful Question to Ask Yourself:When a limiting thought pops up, ask:"Is this actually true for me, or is this something I've been taught to believe?"That one question can change everything.Your Challenge This Week:Pay attention to the stories people tell you about what's possible.Notice when someone says:"That never works.""You can't make money doing that.""People like us don't do things like that.""That's unrealistic."Instead of accepting it as fact, try responding with:"That may be true for you, but I'm willing to find out what's true for me."Connect With Me:If you loved this episode, come hang out with us inside the free Embodied Baddie Lounge on Telegram.And if this episode spoke to you, share it with a friend who needs the reminder that someone else's limitations don't have to become their reality.
