Unlock U Ep 173: Waiting for Dreams

Guys, I cannot wait to catch up with you! This podcast feels like sitting down together for coffee and just chatting about life, dreams, and all the things happening with Crawford Clinics and my world. Let’s be real—life can feel like it’s full of waiting. Waiting for a relationship, a degree, a promotion, or even that next vacation. I get it because I’m a dreamer too. Like, binder-full-of-dreams kind of dreamer (and yes, it has tabs!).

But here’s the thing: dreaming is the easy part. The waiting? The pruning? The maturing? Oh man, that’s where the growth really happens. In this episode, I’m opening up about how those seasons of waiting can shape you—and how you can adopt a “growth mindset” that says, I can do that. It’s a mindset passed down from my family, starting with my grandpa, who faced so many obstacles but always believed in pushing past limitations.

I’ll also share a fun update about our brand-new Crawford Clinics location in Southlake, Texas! If you’re in the area, come to our Open House on February 1st from 2–4 PM. We’d love to meet you, show you around, and hear your ideas on how we can serve you better. Let’s dream big, push through the hard stuff, and live intentionally together. Love you, friends!

Unlock U Ep 172: Breaking Free from Shame

Hey friends! If you missed the last episode, I recommend checking it out first—it sets the stage for this one.

We’re diving into the sneaky lies shame plants in our lives—like "I’m too much" or "I’ll be rejected if people really see me." These beliefs often show up in perfectionism, people-pleasing, or even burnout. Take Andrew, for example (name changed). He seemed happy and successful, but beneath it all, unresolved shame and unmet needs were creating resentment, anxiety, and disconnection. Sound familiar?

Here’s the good news: you’re not stuck! By rejecting shame and embracing radical self-acceptance, you can realign your inner world and reconnect with your true self. When your spirit leads, creativity, peace, and purpose follow.

Let’s explore how to unearth the parts of us we’ve hidden, invite healing, and live with freedom. Curious? Watch now! 💡

Unlock U Ep 171: Our First Core Belief

Hey friends,

In this Unlock U episode, we’re diving into the foundation of who we are—our very first core belief. Life gets messy, doesn’t it? Between the ups and downs of parenting, work, mindset struggles, and just trying to keep it all together, it can feel like chaos. But when we step back and see the bigger picture—God’s story unfolding in and through us—suddenly, it all starts to make sense.

You’re not just a collection of thoughts, emotions, and to-do lists. You’re a spirit being, uniquely designed in God’s image. When you’re in alignment—body under soul, soul under spirit, and spirit under the Holy Spirit—you can experience peace, clarity, and freedom. But let’s be honest: misalignment? That feels like a pinched nerve messing with everything.

We’ll unpack how even old, sneaky beliefs planted when we were little can hold us back and how to realign with who God says you are. You’re made for awe and wonder, and it’s time to live fully in that truth!

If this speaks to your heart, don’t go it alone. At Crawford Clinics, we’re here to walk with you, helping you heal, grow, and live whole. Visit us at Crawford Clinics—we’d love to support you on your journey! 💛
