In this deeply moving episode of the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, we explore the healing power of love, presence, and self-awareness with Chrystal Rae, spiritual author, yogi, artist, poet, and co-owner of multiple yoga studios and teacher training schools based in Dallas, Texas.

Chrystal shares her extraordinary life journey, including a near-death experience following a devastating car accident that became a profound turning point in her understanding of love, purpose, and the nature of the soul. What emerged from that moment was a clear mission: to remind the world that love is all that matters.

Through heartfelt storytelling, spiritual wisdom, and lived experience, Chrystal invites us to see healing not as something to fix, but as something to remember, our true nature rooted in unconditional love. Drawing from yoga philosophy, near-death experiences, sound healing, and conscious living, this conversation gently guides listeners back home to themselves.

✨ Here’s what you’ll learn in this soul-nourishing episode:

✅ How a near-death experience reshaped Chrystal’s understanding of love, life, and purpose

✅ How yoga, breathwork, and meditation help regulate the nervous system and build emotional resilience

✅ Why sound and light are emerging modalities in healing and future medicine

✅ The role of self-compassion in breaking cycles of perfectionism, addiction, and self-judgment

✅ A simple guiding question to return to during difficult moments: “What is my most loving thought, word, or action?”

✅ How to respond instead of react when life feels overwhelming

✅ Chrystal’s perspective on forgiveness as a way to free yourself, not condone harm

✅ The importance of choosing an “overriding principle” for your life as a compass for decisions

✅ Why healing is a daily practice rooted in presence, breath, and conscious choice
