48. Grit, Growth, and the Power of Letting Your Podcast Evolve with Krystle, Gritty is the New Pretty
Description
Your podcast doesn’t have to stay the same forever—and neither do you.
In this episode of Podcast Café, Hayleigh sits down with Crystal Edwards, host of Gritty is the New Pretty, to talk about how your podcast can evolve alongside your life, your business, and your identity. From launching a podcast in the middle of a pandemic to hitting pause during major life transitions, Crystal shares what it means to lead with authenticity, pivot with purpose, and stay rooted in your mission—even when the strategy shifts.
They dive into:
How Krystle's podcast was born from a community project and a personal loss
The realities of podcasting while parenting, healing, and growing
What happens when you stop editing out every “um” and embrace real conversation
Why podcasting is a long game, and how it becomes a vehicle for connection, not perfection
The power of using your voice, even when it feels vulnerable
Whether you’re just getting started or your podcast has been with you for years, this conversation is your reminder that it’s your show, so let it grow with you.
