What happens when life as you know it falls apart — and instead of breaking down, you decide to board a plane and find yourself again? Sometimes the best way to get clarity is to step away from the noise and give yourself space to breathe. Travel has a way of helping us see things differently — not just the world, but ourselves. It's in those quiet, unfamiliar places that we often begin to hear our own voice more clearly. When I first connected with Christina Cridebring, I knew right away she had a powerful story to tell. Her journey — one that took her across continents and deep into self-discovery — eventually became the heart of her memoir, Black Heart Life. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Christina to talk about what it really looked like behind the scenes: how travel helped her come back to herself, what it took to move past fear and publish her story, and how sharing it sparked healing — not just for her, but for those around her too. Hit PLAY to hear: How Christina used travel as a tool for healing and rediscovery The unexpected challenges of publishing a deeply personal memoir What it really takes to write your story — even if you're “not a writer” Navigating fear, vulnerability, and imposter syndrome when sharing your truth The surprising way storytelling sparked healing conversations in her family Why integrating your personal and professional self leads to deeper alignment The importance of being honest, even when your story involves others This episode is your reminder that your story matters — not because it's perfect, but because it's yours. Whether you're in the middle of your own reinvention or simply wondering what your next chapter looks like, let Christina's journey inspire you to be brave, tell the truth, and take that first step. And if her story speaks to you, share this episode with someone who needs it — because when we share our stories, we shine a light for others to find their way.

THE STORY. In Greek mythology, the Pleiades were the seven daughters of the sea-nymph Pleione and Atlas, a Titan condemned by Zeus to bear the sky on his shoulders forever.Their names—Maia, Electra, Taygete, Alcyone, Celaeno, Sterope, and Merope—reflect their celestial legacy.The name Pleiades, derived from the Greek word pleiôn meaning “plenty,” signifies their title as “Ladies of Plenty.”The Myth recounts their pursuit by Orion, the giant hunter enamored with them.To shield them from his advances, Zeus transformed the sisters into stars, placing them in the night sky. Another story portrays the Pleiades as companions of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, who turned them into stars to safeguard them from Orion's relentless pursuit. The Pleiades constellation endures as a powerful symbol of sisterhood, embodying the strength and unity found in collective bonds.Today, the Pleiades resonate deeply with the divine feminine, representing a restoration of feminine energy rooted in nurturing, abundance, and resilience.Their celestial presence inspires modern movements to reclaim the divine feminine, fostering empowerment, fertility, and prosperity and the interconnectedness of women supporting one another.This constellation's enduring light serves as a reminder of the sacred feminine's role in healing and creating balance in a world yearning for unity and hope.Pleiades were the companions of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, who transformed them into stars to protect them from the advances of orion, a giant hunter.

This week's episode is about decision-making and how to know what's actually worth it when you work for yourself.We recorded this right after speaking at a conference in Jamaica where we walked through some of our own real-life crossroads as business owners with a group of entrepreneurs. The talk resonated so deeply, the only feedback we got was: “Can you just put this all on one page?”This is our answer to that.We're talking about those high-stakes, low-certainty moments every entrepreneur, side hustler, or freelancer has to face eventually like what to sell, when to say yes, how to price your work, when to hire help, whether to spend or play it safe. And, maybe most importantly, how to move when the pressure's on and the money feels tight (or even when it's flowing).We get into:Why emotional decisions are so expensiveWhat Annie Duke's poker strategy has to do with entrepreneurshipThe $500 mistake we made early on that cost us doubleHow to protect yourself from thinking too small without blowing your budgetAnd the biggest difference between people who survive in business and people who burn out earlyWhether you're self-employed, freelancing, or bootstrapping something new, your decision-making process should match the size of what you're trying to build.

Vogel Crystals for Healing: Beyond the Hype, Real Transformation No one is exempt from trauma. We develop hard-wired negative patterns early in life that manifest across our relationships, health, and finances from self protection.Judgement is not invited into this realm, as you are whole, but the body feels fragemented by leaking its energy and power. Typical attempts to change these, like taking courses or going on diets, fail because they only address the issue on 1-2 levels when it may be present across multiple layers - from our DNA to our nervous system.The key is to work at the quantum level to uncover the root blocks and their potential for positive transformation. By bringing light to these shadows and supporting the shifts with neurological, energetic and genetic repatterning, we can truly transform and release the old pain patterns.So….HOW DO CRYSTALS EXPEDITE HEALING?No Hype. Vogel Crystals are NOT like other Crystals…They are Immensely Transformative due to their integrity and way they are cut.BUT, only when you can identify the root - otherwise we end up spinning in "fixing ourselves."That's where the Crystal Clear Healing sessions at Beauty Ecology come into play. These processes don't give you things to-do - it will rewire how you work on all 7 layers (physical, emotional, mental, pranic, genetic, holographic, and quantum).GOOD NEWS, for those being called to shift out of the old self as the new earth is initiating itself, I am now offering a deeply healing and innovative offer utilizing a profound Vogel Crystal and Tuning Fork Session at my Spa/Salon. I'm obsessed. I've had incredible downloads in my personal and professional life since I've been utilizing Vogel Crystals strategically. My mission on earth is to free others from conditioning and giving away their power. When you learn the power of frequency in structured water, combined with intention ….. you BECOME more light, which invites in heightened intuition and deep healing. HIT PLAY…. and here's a few cliff notes.Vogel's are instruments that serve to store, amplify, convert and cohere subtle energies alike.Vogel wands reflect the alchemical transmutation of "as above, so below".With conscious caring and intent it enables a crystal to find its true and optimum ability to transmit and amplify energy.Marcel Vogel believed the real origin of illness is in the Etheric body that holds the memory of physical or emotional injury and can become stagnant, distorted or stuck, resulting in illness.The Vogel Crystals are the thread in healing that ties together energy, illness, and the problems in the Etheric body.When light from the higher realms comes into a person's body, it can get refracted when Etheric body is not stable, resulting to illness.I often talk about “telepathy, intuition and psychic senses” to be a direct correlation to the amount of light coming into the crown chakra, and dispersing through the nervous system. Here's a example: When working with clients, if there is trauma and distortion, I see the auric body with dull color and lifeless - unable to have clear communication in healing the mind, body and soul.Therefore, the Vogel cut crystal gives immediate access to the Etheric body and stabilizes it, bring it back to optimum condition, even when there is physical or emotional trauma.If you're interested in supporting yourself further through the power of light - feel free to hit reply!Love Kassandra Get full access to The Light Between at thelightbetween.substack.com/subscribe
