Conversations for the Soul

Healing doesn't begin with fixing yourself—it begins with understanding yourself.In this episode, I'm joined by trauma-based therapist Crystal Lopez for a heartfelt conversation about what it truly means to heal from the inside out. Together, we explore how trauma shapes the way we think, feel, and respond to the world, and why lasting transformation starts with creating safety within our nervous system.We dive into the connection between trauma, emotional patterns, and nervous system regulation, while offering compassionate insight into how healing can become less about perfection and more about reconnecting with yourself.

Are you tired of feeling like absolute crap? That's where I was 8 years ago when I finally decided I was done feeling and living my life that way. In this episode, I take you through the seven habits that I implement daily, which have completely transformed my life in more ways than one. We talk about things like daily gratitude, movement, visualization/scripting, and more. This deep dive is all about giving you the power and the tools to create a happier, healthier, and more successful version of yourself in whatever way that looks like for you.

In this episode, we’re diving into the deeper layers of self-love, self-respect, and self-concept through the lens of the subconscious mind. Because becoming the woman you want to be isn’t just about setting goals, saying affirmations, or trying harder — it’s about rewiring the beliefs, patterns, and identity that are running beneath the surface. We’re talking about how your subconscious shapes the way you see yourself, what you tolerate, the habits you stay stuck in, and the kind of life you believe you’re worthy of. If you’ve ever felt like part of you wants more while another part keeps pulling you back into old versions of yourself, this episode will help you understand why. This is a conversation on healing your self-image at the root, shifting the beliefs that no longer serve you, and learning how to embody the version of you that already exists beneath the conditioning.'CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIALSInstagram: @ttaylorcrown, @convosforthesoulTik Tok: @ttaylorcrown

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the biggest reasons so many of us stay stuck: self-sabotage. You know when you say you want something so badly — to get healthier, be more consistent, finally change your life — but somehow you keep falling back into the same patterns? Yeah… we’re getting into that. I’m breaking down why self-sabotage happens, what it actually looks like in everyday life, and how it can keep you from following through on the goals you care about most. Because most of the time, it’s not that you’re lazy or incapable — it’s that there are deeper beliefs, fears, and patterns running underneath the surface that are keeping you in the familiar, even when the familiar is no longer serving you. We’ll talk about the subconscious side of self-sabotage, how fear and identity play a role, and why you can know exactly what to do and still not do it. If you feel like you’re constantly starting over, getting in your own way, or struggling to become the version of yourself you know you’re meant to be, this episode is for you.CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIALSInstagram: @ttaylorcrown, @convosforthesoul

Are you living your life—or performing it? In this episode, we're diving into the pressure to constantly prove, impress, and seek validation from others. From curating the perfect social media presence to making decisions based on what others expect, many of us spend so much time performing that we lose touch with who we really are. We'll explore how performance shows up in everyday life, the hidden cost of living for external approval, and the powerful shift that happens when you start choosing authenticity instead. If you've been feeling disconnected, exhausted from keeping up appearances, or ready to stop living for everyone else, this conversation is for you.CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIALSTik Tok: @ttaylorcrown, @convosforthesoulInstagram: @ttaylorcrown, @convosforthesoul

Rest is lazy. Taking time off work isn't necessary unless you're deathly ill. I can't take a nap, I have too much to do. Whether you've said these statements or have heard them from your best friends, neighbors, parents... somewhere along the way you have learned that your output is a measure of success and accomplishment, but where do we draw the line? We're constantly on the go that we're not taking in what's actually happening in the world around us, within us. When your sense of urgency becomes the loss of connection to yourself, your friends, your family, and God, that's when you have to decide whether it's worth it or not. This week's episode is all about the sense of urgency and how to slow down in a world that does not want you to. We talk all about the sense of urgency (I include my personal experience in the realm of education as a career) and how to regulate your nervous system. I also give you tangible practices you can incorporate in your daily life that'll help you slow down, regulate, and feel more present so you can pour from an empty cup.

If you're going through a difficult time right now, raise your hand. *Raises hand* But actually, life can be challenging -- there are jobs and relationships and familial issues and mental health struggles... the list goes on and on, and you feel as though you just cannot catch a break. I've been there, done that. Life can be challenging to navigate, and it can convince you that life sucks, and that's all it'll ever be. But what if I told you that you don't have to allow your circumstances to shape your mood? Rather that you can gain control over yourself with enough self-awareness that you can define your own joy and happiness despite your circumstances. I know what you're thinking... there's no way. Join me for this week's conversation on navigating life's difficult circumstances and how to reframe your subconscious belief systems, so you can reclaim your power and choose to find joy despite what is going on in your external reality.
