Episode 8- Raising Cason: Toxic Love Made Us Do It

In this episode, I sit down with Cason and we get real about toxic relationships — the kind that make you do things you can’t believe you once tolerated (or survived). We share the craziest things we’ve ever done while stuck in toxic situations, but with enough distance now to laugh, reflect, and actually learn from it. It doesn’t stop there — viewers wrote in with their own wild, honest story times, and we read them out loud and react together. Some are funny, some are heartbreaking, and all of them remind us just how messy love can get when boundaries disappear. If you’ve ever stayed too long, ignored red flags, or look back and think “what was I thinking?” — this one’s for you.

Bonus Reflection: The Grief No One Warns You About After Divorce

Grief shows up quietly after divorce—in memories, in silence, in the life you imagined but didn’t get to live. This is me unpacking those emotions instead of hiding from them.

Bonus Episode- Happy New Years Eve!

Bonus Episode: Unfiltered New Year Conversations This bonus episode of Unpolished is exactly what it sounds like—raw, unplanned, unedited, and completely off the cuff. We sat down and just talked. About the New Year. About expectations, goals, and the things we’re ready to leave behind. We laughed (a lot), shared stories from our day, touched on New Year’s Eve traditions, and had some unexpectedly serious moments too. We even talked about fasting in the New Year and what it looks like to reset with intention. No outline. No edits. Just a lighthearted, honest conversation with friends—real life, real laughs, real reflections. If you’re easing into the New Year and want something that feels more like hanging out than being lectured, this one’s for you.

Episode 7: You Don’t Owe Silence to Anyone Who Hurt You

After receiving pushback for sharing my story, I felt led to record this unplanned episode. We talk about honesty, accountability, faith, and the freedom that comes from telling your story without shame. If you’ve ever felt pressured to stay quiet about what hurt you, this episode is for you. Your voice matters, and your healing does not need permission.

In this week’s Raising Cason episode of Unpolished, Crystal dives into the shift from 2025 to 2026 — the lessons learned, the habits we’re releasing, and the goals being set with intention. We break down glimmers (the small moments that bring peace and clarity) and triggers (the things that knock us off balance), while talking honestly about emotional growth, boundaries, and what it really looks like to step into a new season aligned and unpolished. If you’re craving a reset, clarity, or encouragement heading into the new year, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
