She is the author of the Heart of Madison series. Her work has been featured on Medium, and Elite Daily just to name a few and when she’s not writing for Medium or working on her next book, you can find Crystal traveling, paddle boarding, running, hiking, doing yoga, or curled up with her nose in a book in Madison, Georgia where she lives with her two wild and wonderful children. During this episode Crystal chats about her article entitled, "You May Be Single, But You Don’t Have to Be Afraid You’ll Die Alone" and what led her to write this piece that I know many people will resonate with. 

Welcome to the very first episode of our guest series. Joining me today is none other than Francesca, an incredibly talented interior designer who is probably decking out all of your favorite celebrity homes. But Francesca isn't just any guest - she's my friend of 14 years, and our friendship has seen it all - from working at American Eagle in Burlington, North Carolina through high school and college, to present day where we get into all sorts of mischief in the streets of LA.And as we kick off this exciting series, I couldn't think of a better person to delve into the fascinating topic of growing up in the South and how that shapes our views on romance.

Before diving into guest interviews, I want to take you on a personal journey for the very first episode of this podcast. I believe wholeheartedly in starting with "why", and this podcast is no different. In this episode I share the "why" behind the creation of this podcast and my dedication to building a supportive community for women - but to get to my "why" you have to know my story. So me join me as I share my  journey of self-discovery, and how I came to embrace the power of self-love and independence. 

Welcome to "I Might Die Alone", the podcast that celebrates women who are defining their lives beyond their relationship status and dives deep into the dichotomy of wanting romantic love but also not letting that absence consume us.Each week, I'll be joined by inspiring guests who have learned to prioritize their own growth and have made the conscious decision not to prioritize romantic relationships as more valuable than any other. We'll explore just how rich their lives have become since shifting their focus from finding a partner to finding themselves.With each episode, I hope to inspire you to embrace your independence, prioritize your own happiness, and live your best life. Because the truth is, whether you end up with a partner or not, you have everything you need to create a life that's rich and fulfilling.But I also want to keep it real. Despite de-centering romance, I still struggle with the desire for romantic love and the fear of missing out on the family I always envisioned. And that's okay. We're human, and our emotions and desires can be complex and sometimes conflicting.So, let's come together and have honest conversations about what it means to prioritize ourselves while still holding space for our desire for love and connection. Let's explore the different paths to building a family and creating a fulfilling life on our own terms - because I might die alone, but is that so bad?
