Bonus Episode- Happy New Years Eve!

Special Episode Release: Subway & Spring Break with Lyd Car talks (audio release from You Tube)

Just a real, unfiltered moment with me and Lyd grabbing Subway and talking life. What started as a simple lunch turned into one of those conversations you wish you could bottle up forever. We talk about spring break, growing up, emotions, and just navigating life in this in-between season. It’s honest, a little funny, a little deep — and completely us. Y’all saw it on YouTube, but so many of you asked for it here too… so here it is 🤍 Sometimes the best conversations don’t happen in perfect settings — just across the table, with a sandwich in hand.

Episode 9: The Dating Pool Has Pee In It.

Confessions from the Dating Pool (There’s Pee in It) In this episode of Unpolished with Crystal, my friend Bren and I sit down and talk about something most of us have experienced at some point — dating. And let’s just say… the dating pool isn’t always as clean as people pretend it is. We share funny dating stories, awkward moments, and the kind of situations that make you question everything in the moment but turn into hilarious stories later. Also full transparency — this was our first time using our real microphones, and we’re not even completely sure they were turned on at the beginning. So if the audio sounds a little rough at first, we promise it will get better. But honestly… that’s kind of the point. Because life isn’t polished… and neither are we.

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.
