The Low & Slow Podcast

There are wounds many women carry that never get named out loud. Not because they aren’t real. But because they are tangled in love, loyalty, grief, and silence. In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast , Crystal and Laken go into one of the deepest emotional inheritances women carry: the mother wound. Not the obvious, dramatic version. Not villainizing mothers. Not blame. This is about the q...

Can You Sit Still With Yourself? Slowing down sounds simple… until you try to do it. In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast , Crystal and Laken explore a question that makes many high-capacity women uncomfortable: Can you sit quietly with yourself without immediately reaching for something to do? Not scrolling. Not answering messages. Not folding laundry. Just existing. Because many of us d...

Why survival mode isn’t working anymore. The “trust” you built in survival mode isn't the same as safety, Bc the safety you built in survival mode isn't the safety you're requiring now. Hear us out…you were praised for being the one who held it all together. The dependable one.  The strong one.  The one people could count on.  The one who figured it out no matter what. And you did....

Perfectionism doesn’t always look like fear. Sometimes it shows up disguised as “high standards.” In this episode, Crystal and Laken unpack how perfectionism quietly keeps women stuck in cycles of overthinking, delay, and guilt. They explore why messy action is the antidote — and how lowering the bar just enough to start can build the self-trust and momentum perfectionism has been stealing. Becaus...

For years women have been told they must choose who they are. Be bold and driven…  or be soft and surrendered.

Through nervous system awareness, identity work, and honest conv...

Sometimes it’s not about you. And sometimes… it is. In this episode of The Low & Slow Podcast , Crystal & Laken unpack the nuanced, often uncomfortable topic of projections — what they are, how to recognize them, and how to respond without getting recruited into someone else’s inner chaos. Because projections are sneaky.  They can sound like feedback.  They can feel personal.  They can tri...
