The Embodied Baddie Podcast

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 breaku...

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 possi...

What happens when you stop treating mindset like fluffy self-help bullshit… and actually start embodying it? In this episode of the  Embodied Baddie Podcast , I’m joined by boutique owner and absolute powerhouse Gretchen Hilley for a conversation about business growth, nervous system shifts, identity work, and what it really looks like to build massive success without apologizing for it....

Welcome back to the  Embodied Baddie Podcast . I’m your host,  Chrystal Rose , and today we’re calling out something that gets thrown around a lot… but rarely actually understood: “Toxic positivity.” Because here’s the truth— positivity isn’t toxic. Avoidance is. And in this episode, we’re breaking down the difference so you can stop bypassing your emotions  and  stop feeling l...

Jealousy Isn’t the Problem—It’s the Portal Welcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast. This episode is one of those conversations we don’t say out loud enough—but every single ambitious woman has felt. Jealousy. Not the surface-level, “good for her!” kind… The kind that hits your body before your brain can clean it up. The kind that makes you question yourself for a second. And instead of pretend...

Welcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast . Today’s episode is one I’ve been sitting on for over a year. Not because I didn’t want to share it… but because I was still very much in the middle of it. In this episode, I’m opening up about something I’ve never talked about publicly in this level of detail: my experience accumulating over $200,000 in debt. Not as a cautionary tale. Not as a “look ho...

Welcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast 🎧 In this episode, I’m breaking down manifestation in the simplest way possible — and exposing where most women (especially high-achieving, ambitious ones) accidentally sabotage themselves. Because manifestation isn’t about wishing harder. It’s not about scripting for 47 minutes. And it’s definitely not about pretending you feel abundant when your nervo...

Welcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast . In this intimate, off-the-cuff episode—originally recorded inside my private community—I’m sharing a personal reflection on something we rarely give ourselves permission to do: celebrate how far we’ve come . This conversation is part behind-the-scenes business reality, part nervous-system truth, and part reminder that success doesn’t always feel the wa...

Happy New Year, Baddies! 🥂 In this kickoff episode of 2026, Chrystal is sharing a radically different approach to goal setting—one rooted in intuition, embodiment, and becoming the version of you who can hold what you desire. After intentionally opting out of traditional goal setting in 2025, Chrystal reflects on what that year taught her about flexibility, fulfillment, and trusting her inner com...

Navigating Business Growth with Patience & Purpose Welcome back to the Embodied Baddie Podcast ✨ In this solo episode, Chrystal unpacks a powerful four-year framework for business growth she recently heard from Faith Morris , a remote operations partner whose perspective immediately stopped her in her tracks.

Welcome back to The Embodied Baddie Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re diving into a conversation so many women entrepreneurs quietly struggle with: What happens when you stop loving your business… and how to get that love back. This episode was inspired by a passing comment from Alex Hormozi that hit way too close to home — and cracked open a much deeper truth about passion, pressure, and the emo...

Welcome back to The Embodied Baddie Podcast —where ambition meets embodiment and we stop pretending we can do it all alone. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest secrets to my own evolution: getting support. Because yes, even the coach needs a coach. The truth? You can read all the books, journal ‘til your hand cramps, and still stay stuck in the same patterns until s...

This one’s for the woman who’s finally ready to stop being the supporting character in everyone else’s story.  In this episode, we’re diving into the hero’s journey —but not the kind with dragons or magic swords. We’re talking about your life. Your messy, beautiful, plot-twisty, glow-up-in-progress life. Because guess what? You’re the main character, and it’s time you started acting like it....

This week, I’m joined by Sara Durcholz, founder of JO+CO , who has been in the retail game since she was just 25. Her story isn’t the typical “grow bigger, scale faster” kind of story you hear in the business w...

Balance is overrated. Capacity is everything. In this episode, I flip the script on what it really takes to “do it all” without burning out. Spoiler: perfect balance doesn’t exist—but expanding your capacity absolutely does. Whether you’re running a business, managing a team, or juggling family and personal goals, the goal isn’t to split yourself evenly between it all. The goal is to build the ene...

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually working right now for business owners who refuse to buy into the “no one is spending” narrative. Spoiler: people are spending—big. The difference? How and where. And if you’re clinging to old strategies, you’re missing out. 🔥 Here’s what we dive into: Why the “people aren’t spending” story is total BS (and what’s really happening in the market)....

In this unfiltered solo episode of The Embodied Baddie Podcast , I’m coming in hot with a truth that might ruffle some feathers: pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

We’re flipping the script on suffering and reclaiming our power—no more marinating in...

Alright, Baddie — this episode is extra special. You’re not just hearing me talk about imposter syndrome... you’re getting a front-row seat to what it looks like to coach through it in real time . I sat down with two incredible women — Kesha and Ariana — both powerful, successful, and still hearing that old familiar voice: “You’re not enough.” “You don’t deserve this.” “Who do you think you are?”...

Welcome back, Baddie! Today we’re tackling something nearly every ambitious woman faces but rarely talks about out loud: imposter syndrome — that sneaky little voice whispering, “You’re not good enough,” even when you’re absolutely crushing it. As I wrap up the SurTHRIVE Hive era, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the juiciest convos we had inside. I’m breaking down the 3 types of imposter sy...
