Through faith, surrender, and the support of people who believed in her when she couldn't believe in herself, Crystal began the difficult road to recovery.

Crystal also discusses her work helping incarcerated individuals and those battling substance abuse find hope, purpose, and a future beyond their mistakes.

The conversation expands into personal transformation, health and wellness, overcoming shame, rebuilding relationships, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who encourage growth and healing.
