So think of this as a metaphorical couch, a place for honesty and laughter and what it means to live and figure all of this insane life stuff out together. So this show is more than about just telling stories. It's about creating a space where advice and perspective meet a little bit humor and a lot of truth. I've been podcasting for well over a decade. I am truly Yalls og. But along the way I took a big step in my own journey by going back to school and earning a master's degree in mental health counseling. Now, I am not a therapist, which is a fact I will be repeating quite frequently, but that education and training really did inform the way I see the world and the way I want to help people think through the issues that they're facing on Chrystal's Couch. Some weeks you'll hear from guests, and some weeks it'll just be us. Either way, the mission is the same. To give you a mix of insight and entertainment that leaves you feeling a little bit lighter and a little more understood. So grab a seat. I'm glad you've joined me. Follow us online at Chrystal's Couch and if you have a question for me, send it on over to adviceristalscouch.com I'll see you next week.
