For quite some time, I’ve had this dream bubbling in my heart.
A dream to invite you — not just as a reader or a follower — but as a trusted voice in the process. To open the doors a little wider. To bring you behind the scenes. To build what’s next with you, not just for you.
And today… that dream is becoming a reality.
🎉 Welcome to Crystal’s Insider Squad.
It’s free and specifically designed for women who are passionate about living with intention — in their homes, with their time, and in their finances — and who want to help shape the future of what I create and share.
Here’s what you can expect inside:
📝 Early access to brand-new resources and tools (sometimes before anyone else even knows they exist!) 💡 Feedback opportunities where your ideas and insights help shape new products and projects. 💛 A quarterly Zoom call with me with behind-the-scenes sneak peeks — you’ll get to ask questions in real-time, hang out with me, enter giveaways, and hear about what’s in the works for the future! 🎁 Special discounts + surprises only available to Insider Squad members. 📣 And the chance to raise your hand and say: “Here’s what I need right now. Can you help?”
Because that’s what this is really about: creating with you in mind. Listening first. Serving better.
Why I’m starting this now:
The more I’ve listened to your stories — your struggles, your hopes, your “I wish someone would just help me with THIS” moments — the more I’ve realized: I don’t want to guess what you need. I want to hear it from YOU.
Whether you’re in a season of rebuilding, dreaming, starting a business, stretching every dollar, or stepping into something new… I want to serve you more personally and more intentionally.
This Insider Squad is how I’ll do that. It’s where I’ll test new ideas, get real-time feedback from you, share things I won’t be posting publicly, and ask for your honest thoughts and input.
Want to join?
All you need to do is click here to apply. It’s free to sign up! We are specifically looking for people who have been following for awhile, have purchased products, and who would be willing to and interested in giving real-time honest feedback + have insider info and get exclusive discounts we won’t be offering anywhere else!
We’ll be hand-picking and notifying everyone who is accepted by May 25th. We are working on a big project that I can’t wait to get your input and feedback on!
I am so grateful to each and every one of you! Thank you for being here! And I’m so excited to get to go deeper with some of you as part of the Insider Squad!

A few years ago, we made a parenting decision that many might wholeheartedly disapprove of — but I still stand by it and am glad we did it!
What was the parenting decision? Let me tell you about it…
The Deal That Seemed Too Good to Be True
One of our teens had their sights set on a pricey piece of tech. They’d saved up, searched around, and finally found what looked like an amazing deal on the item they really wanted. There was only one problem: the deal was on a discount site that looked less than reputable.
Our teen came to us all excited, showed us the site… and, I’ll be honest, my radar went off immediately. The site just felt too good to be true and something just felt off. We shared our concerns, but our teen was set on making the purchase.
So we took a deep breath, talked it through… and gave them the green light, making it very clear that they could be flushing their hard-earned $90 down the drain by making this purchase, especially because there was no money-back guarantee offered on the site.
What Happened Next
The package arrived a week later, and it looked legit. The branding, the packaging — it all seemed real. But the moment they turned it on, the excitement fizzled fast.
It didn’t work at all like it was supposed to. It wasn’t clear if it was fake, refurbished, or just a lemon, but one thing was obvious: it was not worth $90. And to top it off, the company didn’t take returns.
Ouch. That $90 was gone.
But Here’s What That $90 Really Bought
Was our teen frustrated? Of course. But they learned an invaluable lesson: just because something looks like a great deal, it doesn’t mean it is. And just because something looks like it’s exactly like the item you are wanting to buy, always do your research before spending money on something that might turn out to be too good to be true.
After this big disappointment, we noticed our teen began doing deeper research before buying. They read reviews, asked better questions, and asked for our thoughts and counsel before making bigger purchases.
That one $90 mistake ended up being one of the most valuable learning experiences they could have had. And today, they’re one of the most cautious and savvy shoppers I know. That “failure” turned into a lifelong skill.
Why We Let Our Kids Learn the Hard Way Sometimes
This is exactly why we’re okay with letting our kids make these kinds of mistakes while they’re still at home. Because now is the time for them to learn — when the consequences cost $90, not $9,000.
Real-life money lessons are powerful. Books and lectures can only go so far. Sometimes, the best teacher is experience. And we’d much rather them learn these lessons now — with us cheering them on and helping them process small mistakes — than later, when the stakes are much higher.
Letting Experience Be the Teacher
If you’re walking alongside kids or teens as they start to manage their own money, don’t be afraid to let them fail a little. Let them feel the sting of a not-so-great decision. Then walk with them through what they can learn from it.
Because those are the lessons that stick. And those are the lessons that will serve them for the rest of their life.
Whether you have little kids, pre-teens, teens, or grandkids, this resource can help you to make sure you are doing a great job of preparing your kids for the future. I compiled this resource based upon a survey I did with thousands of you all and it includes the most-suggested skills you asked for, plus the skills I felt were the most important that my parents passed onto me, and ones that I am so grateful we taught our three older kids.
This free downloadable resource gives you a framework for what to prioritize when teaching your kids about money and also some practical suggestions on how to help your kids have life-changing mindsets around money.
Where to even START with having conversations about money!
The financial basics most teens aren’t learning in school.
The #1 habit that separates financially successful young adults from those who struggle.
Why teaching your teen about money now will save them from common financial mistakes later.
PLUS, you’ll also learn 5 Money Mindsets that can *literally* CHANGE your teen’s future!
If you’ve ever wondered, “Where do I even start when it comes to teaching my teen about money?” — this freebie is for you!
I believe so strongly that one of the greatest ways we can impact the future is by the way we teach and mentor the next generation — and that’s why I’m creating these tools to help you!
