Courageous Destiny™ Podcast with Kristin Crockett

Kristin Crockett is the founder of Courageous Destiny™ and creator of Courageous Destiny: MONETIZE, RISE Group Coaching, and the Courageous Destiny Circle Community, where she helps heart-centered women entrepreneurs turn their gifts, expertise, and purpose into greater income and impact while building a business and life they truly love. Before becoming a coach and entrepreneur, Kristin was a top-performing corporate sales executive, earning well into six figures and placing in the top 1% of sales professionals nationwide. She loved sales—especially when she believed 100% in the products and services she represented. Then becoming a mother to triplets changed everything. After being told she couldn't take her daughter to the doctor because she was out of personal time, Kristin knew she wanted a different definition of success—one where wealth, purpose, family, and freedom could coexist. She hired her first coach and began working on her health, wealth, and the life she truly wanted to create. The results were transformational: Kristin lost 85 pounds and tripled her sales. But something even bigger happened. Kristin discovered what was possible when she stopped allowing fear, circumstances, and other people's expectations to determine the direction of her life. She began living her Courageous Destiny. That transformation ultimately led Kristin to leave corporate America and become a coach and consultant herself. For more than a decade, she has helped women create greater success, wealth, flexibility, purpose, and fulfillment while building businesses and lives they genuinely love. Today, Kristin brings her extensive sales experience, coaching expertise, and transformational work together through the Courageous Destiny D.A.R.E. Methodology — Design • Align • Rewire • Expand. Kristin helps women Design the business and life they actually want, Align their offers, actions, and priorities with that vision, Rewire the beliefs, fears, money stories, and identity patterns keeping them stuck, and Expand into greater wealth, impact, freedom, and fulfillment. Through her **Courageous Destiny programs—including Private Coaching, Courageous Destiny: MONETIZE, RISE Group Coaching, and the Courageous Destiny Circle Community—**Kristin supports women who have incredible gifts, expertise, ideas, and big hearts, but know they are capable of creating so much more. In Courageous Destiny: MONETIZE, Kristin helps women turn what they know, what they love, and what they feel called to do into clear offers and real revenue. She helps them confidently communicate the value of their work, create offers people want to buy, make courageous invitations, strengthen their sales skills, and develop the identity required to create, receive, and hold more money. But Kristin's work goes much deeper than business strategy. She believes women don't need to hustle harder to become successful. They need to stop abandoning themselves on the way there. Kristin helps women uncover the fear, self-doubt, money beliefs, people-pleasing, and old identities that quietly limit their businesses and lives—and replace them with courageous action, powerful self-trust, aligned strategy, and an identity capable of creating their next level. At the heart of her work is a belief that has become central to Courageous Destiny: Women with great big hearts can make great big money—and they don't have to abandon themselves or the lives they love to do it. Because when women make great big money, they have more choices. They can take care of their families, create opportunities, support causes they believe in, build legacies, invest in their dreams, and make the impact they were put here to make. Kristin's mission is to impact 10,000 women and beyond, helping them discover their courageous selves, step fully into their purpose, create greater wealth and well-being, and fall head over heels in love with the businesses and lives they are creating. She is also the host of the Courageous De

  Choosing Yourself Before Life Forces You To — with Jen Slumac

  Aug 18, 202644 min

  What does it really mean to choose yourself — especially when choosing yourself means walking away from something you once thought was your dream? In this deeply honest and beautifully real conversation, Kristin Crockett sits down with longtime friend, author, educator, keynote speaker, and creator of Soul Not Skin ( soulnotskin | The Stories We Carry ), Jen Slumac . Jen opens up about her journey through alcoholism and long-term recovery, the inner work that helped her untangle patterns born from survival, and the courage it took to walk away from her dream of Hollywood when she realized staying could jeopardize her sobriety. Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the bravest decision isn't pushing harder toward the life we thought we wanted — it's choosing ourselves. Kristin and Jen also explore what happens when we stop hiding the parts of our stories we're ashamed of and begin using them to create connection. Jen shares how hearing other people speak openly about experiences she thought she would take to the grave helped her realize, I'm not the only one. That realization became part of her mission: sharing real stories of adversity, healing, and hope so others feel less alone. Together, they talk about: Breaking old patterns and learning new ways of being Recovery, healing, and the courage to choose yourself Following a calling even when the path doesn't look the way you expected Turning your greatest challenges into something you can give the world The power of listening to understand instead of listening to respond Why our stories can create connection between people who seem completely different Finding your voice and having the courage to use it Becoming more fully who you were created to be Jen describes her calling as ultimately being about connection — bringing people together, sharing stories, giving hope, and helping us remember how much we have to learn from one another. This episode is raw, funny, vulnerable, faith-filled, and deeply human. Because living your Courageous Destiny isn't always about becoming someone new. Sometimes it's finally having the courage to choose yourself, heal what needs healing, use your voice, and become who you were always meant to be.

  May 7, 202635 min

  In this heartfelt and deeply authentic episode of the Courageous Destiny podcast, Kristin Crockett sits down with photographer and entrepreneur Serena Hughes for a powerful conversation about identity, resilience, healing, and the beauty of becoming who we truly are. Serena shares her personal journey through adolescence, early motherhood, and the emotional challenges that shaped her life and perspective. Through vulnerability and honesty, she opens up about navigating guilt, shame, self-worth, and the ongoing process of forgiveness. At the center of the conversation is Serena’s passion for photographing high school seniors and why this stage of life matters so deeply to her. She reflects on how misunderstood and uncertain many teens can feel during this transition from childhood into adulthood and explains how her photography experience is designed to help seniors feel seen, celebrated, confident, and authentic. Rather than simply taking pictures, Serena creates an environment where young people can embrace who they are and honor the unique journey they are walking. Kristin and Serena also explore the deeper emotional layers many women carry throughout life — the pressure to perform, the stories we tell ourselves, and the healing that begins when we offer ourselves grace instead of judgment. Together, they discuss the importance of self-compassion, owning our stories, and recognizing that our past does not define our future. This episode is a moving reminder that courage is often found in vulnerability and that healing begins when we stop hiding from our story. Through laughter, reflection, and meaningful conversation, listeners are encouraged to embrace their journey, forgive themselves, and step more fully into the life they were created to live. ✨ Key Takeaways: • The transition from high school into adulthood is a sacred and transformative season deserving to be honored. • Photography can be a healing and empowering experience that helps people feel seen and accepted. • Guilt and shame can keep us disconnected from ourselves until we begin practicing self-forgiveness. • Authenticity and vulnerability create deeper connection and personal freedom. • Our stories, even the painful parts, can become sources of strength and purpose. • Living courageously begins with learning to love and accept ourselves fully.

  From Breakdown to Breakthrough – A Conversation with Paloma Greer

  Apr 21, 202645 min

  From Breakdown to Breakthrough – A Conversation with Paloma Greer I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Paloma Greer on the podcast, and this conversation is one that will stay with you. Paloma vulnerably shared her journey from hitting rock bottom—navigating heartbreak, anxiety, and even a stay in the hospital—to discovering the power of true healing. Not just mindset… but healing at the level of the nervous system, the body, and the soul. What stood out most is this: 👉 You can say all the affirmations in the world… 👉 You can try to “think positive”… But if your nervous system is still in survival mode, your life will keep reflecting that. Paloma reminds us that healing doesn’t have to be complicated or out of reach. It can start right where you are: 💗 Movement and somatic dance 💗 Breathwork and grounding 💗 Nature, presence, and reconnecting to YOU She shared how “little by little,” she rebuilt herself—and how we all have the power to do the same. And here’s the truth we both aligned on: ✨ You are not stuck. ✨ You are not broken. ✨ You are becoming. When you begin to heal from within, everything you attract begins to change—your relationships, your opportunities, your results. This episode is for the woman who is ready to rise… not perfectly, but powerfully. Paloma Greer Founder, Caché Marketing & Events Paloma is a powerhouse of creativity and vision, bringing over 15 years of marketing experience to the table. As the founder of Caché Marketing & Events ( http://www.cachemarketingandevents.com ), she has fostered a vibrant community of entrepreneurs, helping aspiring business owners turn bold ideas into tangible success. Her expertise is a dynamic blend of artistry and strategy, combining premium web design, video marketing, and unique event experiences. With a career that thrives on originality, Paloma is a master of crafting magnetic online presences. At Caché Marketing & Events, she transforms ideas into thriving businesses by fusing high-energy concepts with proven strategies that resonate deeply with audiences. As a creative force and marketing innovator, Paloma is dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs, her clients, and those striving to launch their businesses. Beyond being a marketing expert, Paloma is an artistic visionary lighting the way to success. 💬 Tell me—what’s one way you’ve been called to reconnect with yourself lately? Takeaways: In the realm of personal development, one must confront the complexities of one's own psyche, as it is imperative to embrace the pain that often accompanies healing. The transformative journey necessitates a profound surrender to one's emotional turmoil, facilitating a path toward self-discovery and acceptance. Healing is intrinsically linked to understanding the nervous system's response to trauma, which significantly influences our emotional and psychological state. To achieve true transformation in life, it is essential to cultivate a holistic approach that integrates the mind, body, and spirit, recognizing their interconnectedness. The process of healing often involves unraveling deeply embedded patterns formed through past experiences and relationships, allowing for personal growth and reinvention. Ultimately, the most courageous act one can undertake is to embrace vulnerability and allow oneself to authentically experience and process the spectrum of human emotion.
