Soften Up with Krystal Alexandria

This is an encouraging big sis' love note for the moments you need it most! Carving a new path for yourself is no joke. It can be easy to doubt that your dreams and desires are worth holding out for. I've been there more times than I can count. And...it is essential that you do not settle along the way, love. We have no idea how good things can get for us and holding space for our dreams can feel...

Today, we soften how we're thinking about our over consumption in a highly digitized world in favor of getting creating again! Your inner creative, artist, and visionary has the digital odds stacked against them. We wonder why we can't get over our phone addictions and get to creating. Your big sis', Krystal, is here to give some higher level perspective as to why that is happening and some ideas...

We were all sold a very fanciful, grand gesture-laden (not to mention solely heterosexual) perception of romance. It's this dreamy “something” that only happened to the chosen few and we were dependent on some man out there to decide one day to make romance a reality for us who longed for love beyond the ending credits of our favorite rom-coms. I remember what an impossible scenario it felt like t...

Maybe it's a knowing you can't shake… Maybe intuitive signs are surfacing everywhere… Maybe you're sick of kicking your dreams down the road for “someday”… Having an inner nudge that you need to pivot something can bring up a lot. But if I may offer up a little big sis' advice: It's worth exploring it. Every time. Additionally, how do we navigate being "selfish" by putting ourselves first when lif...

When you imagine a future world you feel PROUD to be a part of co-creating, what do you see? What do you envision? What do you want to feel on the daily? As a creative, intuitive, and natural leader, do you realize you're a part of where we go from here? We are the VIBE MAKERS, in fact. Vibes are more than woo woo. Our entire world is created from frequency vibrations. Energy. Do you know that you...

Ever feel like something ends in your life, but it feels...unresolved? Heavy. Emotional. Stressful. Like it's long over with but anytime you think about it, you feel some kind of way about it? ENTER: The open energy loop. An open energy loop is something that began but didn’t properly finish. Think of it as an invisible energy (like a phone app running in the background) that’s taking up space in...

Syncing your life to your cycle is such a liberating and beautiful way to work WITH your body's natural rhythms instead of against it. It's honestly been one of the biggest breakthroughs I've had over the last five years! I feel more in tune, more effective with my time, and more allowing of where my body is in trusting her to know best with what she needs. Making space to listen to our bodies is...

Getting your creative inspirations out of your head and into the world is one thing. But what if the tools you're using…well…suck. A lot. The TOOLS may need to change, not you! This shows up in all kinds of areas. Believe me when I say, it is so frustrating when I have an idea to go create, paint, or write something and then I go to use the tool I normally use and all of a sudden, I'm stuck all ov...

We know we need to protect our peace from time to time, but do you know where to find it in the first place? Today we talk about where to find your "peace places", those corners of the world where we come back to ourselves in a noisy world. The best part is, we don't need to wait 'til the shit hits the fan to find them either. I open up with you about where my most tender, sacred places are across...

The irony: Imperfection is one of those things we have in common right out the gate. So why do we fight against it so hard? Today we talk about flipping imperfection on its head entirely. Imperfection...is HOLY? Let's talk about it! I share about: - How perfectionism was literally making me suffer by disconnecting me from my creativity - The gluttonous habit we're all in these days - How the Unive...

Unseen energies make the world go 'round - Wifi, gravity, weather patterns, and...energy! Knowing how to clear, connect, and tend to your energy and aura is truly a superpower AND a tech of the times. Just like we reach for apps to serve to accomplish different tasks, we also have energy tools that help us show up to what matters to us. Today, I share about: - How our aura and energy field is very...

Talking about perimenopause on the internet? Oh yes we are! :) Little did I know that so many shifts and changes happening over the last several years were none other than perimenopause! I sure wish someone would've told me ahead of time, which is why were jumping in together. Today on Soften Up, I share candidly about: - The way I learned to connect-the-dots about the symptoms I was experiencing...

What if we consider…softer? What if softening can be a part of it all? What if it’s our very nature, too? What else becomes possible then? Welcome to Soften Up with Krystal Alexandria! Today, we explore softening as a way of approaching these transformative times and softness as a tool for resistance. Listen in to explore: (1) Necessary context for softening as a tool for resistance and why I'm ho...

Today we'll dive into: - What "Soften Up" means. how it came about, and how my brain still grapples with it here and there - Why our body's armoring response is absolutely necessary and a highly intelligent tool to allow softening to happen in the...
