I posted a video on Instagram that got 8,881+ views, 148+ likes, and 356+ comments. Hence, I went "semi viral"....though not for a good reason according to 98% of the comments I got. Listen in as I share what it was like working through the hate and attacks I got, why I still posted the video even though I knew I would get *some* backlash, and 4 things I learned from this overall experie...

Welcome to our new segment...Therapy Talk! Therapy Talk episodes allow me to talk about 3-4 different topics that are too long for Instagram, but too short too warrant their own podcast episode (at least for right now). I talk about things I've discussed heavily in therapy, or had realizations of while journaling, talking to friends, or just living. There's something here for everyone. In...

Do you feel like you can trust yourself? Maybe your answer is yes—either because it comes naturally or you've worked on it. That's awesome. But I think for many of us, myself very much included, we struggle to trust our gut and have confidence in ourselves. It can be difficult to do so when society and people tell us how we should live rather than us figuring it out for ourselves, when you...

Introducing a NEW segment called Kristyn's Inspiration Corner (KIC for short) where I bring y'all something that I heard, saw, listened to, etc. that inspired me. Knowing and hoping that it can inspire you too! While these segments will be shorter episodes, it won't have any less amazing content. I want you to come curious and leave inspired! This week, I found inspiration from 2 songs...

What did I do when I realized, in therapy, that my faith was more in shambles than I thought? I recorded an episode. Okay, maybe that's not all I did. I definitely have journaled, opened up to friends and family, talked a lot in therapy, worked on letting go. But as scary as it is to open up on this episode, I also think it's so important for those struggling with similar thoughts, feeling...

On January 1st, I turned 27…and I have a lot to say about it. So today’s episode is just me, the mic, and all my crazy thoughts, feelings, and desires. If you’re curious about how life is different than I expected it would be at this age, a lie I realized I’ve lived by for most of my 20s, how I’m feeling going into this year, highlights of 26, things I want to work on in year 27, and everything in...

At the end, I also dive into why you should regularly take yourself on dates (regardless of your relationship status, although especially for my singles) and some ideas of how to do that. Enjoyed today's episode? Join in the co...

The most wonderful time of the year is not always, well, that wonderful. Especially for those of us who struggle with mental health. Whether this is a continuous struggle for you, or something that just pops up during this time of year, please know you are never alone. Chaos and Art is a space where you are seen, heard, and safe to feel and be. This episode is my gift to you this holiday season, s...

About 3 weeks ago, I wrote a poem called "Wild and Free". It was and is a space to process and reflect my struggles that are coming to light, how I've been feeling lately, and the insights gained on my healing journey thus far. It tells a story—my story—but in a way that I think everyone can find part of themselves in. So, in this episode, I'm reading you that poem. While it'...

It's time to break the lie that you are behind, late, missing something, or messed up. It's ruthless, relentless, and exhausting. And honestly, I've personally had enough. If you too have had enough of believing this lie and living like it's true, you'll want to tune in today's episode where we unpack: Why it's so easy to feel like you're behind The harmful affects...

We live in a culture that's obsessed with fixing ourselves. Diet culture tells us what's wrong with our bodies and then sells us the products to "fix" them. We pay therapists to tell us what's wrong and help "fix" ourselves before getting into a relationship. We're taught to compare ourselves to those at the top and "fix" whatever about us doesn't...
