  • Do you struggle with overpacking? Are there things weighing you down and keeping you from enjoying the trip of life? If you pack lightly, you are able to enjoy an abundant life the way God intended. In this episode, I discuss how we need to travel lightly by getting rid of burdens that weigh us down and prevent us from being able to pivot when opportunity comes. I hope you will join me for the conversation!

    Man, I need to listen to this a couple of times. This message was on time. Thank you for your nuggets of truth Chrystal

    OMG I resonate with this SOOOO much! I always call it my 'Justin Case' stuff (just-in-case)... I might need the books, the thank you cards, the highlighters, the journals, the cords, the snacks (always multiple, even though I know I'm going to buy a snack somewhere too). I have good intentions. This trip, this time on the plane, the evening in the hotel, etc - that's the time I'm going to get caught up on journaling and reading, etc...
    BUT... I always end up taking a walk, seeing the area around my hotel, or being plain tired and not journaling in the evening...
    ALSO... It's so much more than the extra physical stuff we carry around with us! It's also the mental and emotional stuff, the guilt, the shame, the thoughts, depression, trauma experiences, everything since childhood that we've bottled up inside and stuffed deep down. We carry all that around every day too.
    Love hearing your messages!

    Chrystal...this lesson hit home for me. I have watched it several times now and was able to put it to the test on my recent travel. Traveling light not trying to plan each moment of my time away gave me a sense of calm that I never expected. Thank you, thank you, thank you😊.

    Thank you Chrystal for this lesson. It hit home in so many ways I was not expecting. I am going to have to unpack a lot of areas in my life, but I am looking forward to next phase when I can pack lightly & be present in the moment.

    Listening again for the second time. It's even better today. I travel a lot and I'm packing now for a 9-day cruise. For the first time, I'm trying to go with just a carry-on. From the moment you began, I was all in. I knew it was going to be good. I couldn't wait to learn the lesson that was coming. Thank you

    Thank you Chrystal! I'm committed to unpacking the unnecessary. That business about posing versus living in the present spoke to my spirit. There's something about putting a name or words to identify the issue that I believe is a catalyst to being healed.
