Listen.. about a month ago I didnt have work on a Friday but my husband did and I debated keeping our son home from daycare because, why send him to daycare when Im at home? BUt then I decided, "No.. Im going to have a me day" so I woke up, dropped our son off, and did just that. Went to Starbucks, walked around some stores to window shop, then ended my day with lunch and a movie.. listen... I cried 3 times during that movie and I dont even think it was the movie but just the release of being ME for just a few hours was overwhelming. Since then, my husband is encouragingly me to take a FULL me day at least once a month and Im so grateful. We must remember that God wants us to REST and its God honoring to do so.
To see Dr. Brene Brown be in awe by Dr. Anita Philips gave me a higher sense of honor towards Dr. Anita. I respect Dr. Brown, but Dr. Anita is something divine❤
Many pastors need to listen to this coz they keep teaching folks that having faith means basically not having emotions. There’s a lot of misunderstanding and shame that comes with emotions in the church and it’s really damaging. Especially the “if u know the outcome, why fret?!” teaching
Totally spent the entire podcast bawling. Then I bought the book. Always Dr Anita with her powerful information and Crystal asking all the right questions. This was a blessing.
I love you Dr. Anita...you provided me broader context of what GOD has been showing me in The Word about connectivity and the emotions are a part of beautiful design! I am learning to be proud of the entire person GOD created me as!! Instead making myself smaller and trying to hide myself because "emotions" are "weak/bad"!! I love your weirdness...GOD meant for you to share!! 🎉🎉🎉 I pray and thank GOD for you everyday and will continue!
Crystal, I am 82 years old. I am so glad to hear this common sense conversation. God bless you and Dr. Phillips as you continue to minister to us women IN JESUS NAME ❤❤❤
Just listened at 1.75 speed and LOVED every second of this. I admit to being under the rock 🤦🏽♀️… this was my FIRST time hearing of her. Thank you for another phenomenal interview. 🙌🏽
@@ChrystalHurst Believe it or not for some reason I didn't speed up the video with this interview. Lol. I guess I wanted to take a moment to be completely present and process the discussion...let it soak in. Normally I speed up waiting for the ah ha moment but this time, I wanted to be more present. Great interview BTY. Since I have your attention, we need another Raine interview. Lol It was such a great interview. Thanks for reading.
this was soooo good! ... the way dr. anita broke things down about our bodies, gardens, emotions, God, life, plants ... aint no other way i ever would have had these aha moments ... this was refreshing, soothing & much needed for me ... thank you dr. anita!
Thank You Lord Father For Answered Prayers🙌🏾🙌🏾 I’m going through a Emotional healing journey and I’m always trying to intellectualize my emotions God Is Teaching me to Trust Him With Them🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thanks for this Ladies🙏🏾🙏🏾🩷🩷
19:48 minutes in and now I just want to go cry bc I literally just stopped myself from fully crying yesterday because I THOUGHT it was over the same thing I swore I would never cry over again. now listening to Dr. Anita Im like dang I have no idea bc I didnt give myself permission nor time to cry and find out.
It’s almost unbelievable how much I have in common with Dr. Phillips. I remember when I first came across her while researching for my dissertation was the first time I felt affirmed in my journey of reconciling faith and mental health. I am grateful for her gift to the body of Christ!
I took my first Mecation in my 20s.(Fun fact, I also started the hashtag on instagram.) I am currently 46 and it is one of the best things that I continue to do for me. When I can’t physically get away, I will let those that I talk to almost daily that I am taking a vow of silence for at most two days. SN: I’m loving everything about this! ♥️
Awesome stuff here w/Dr. Anita Phillips!!! Love her energy...❤️ Would be great to have her as a counselor/therapist/etc.... Quick observation: @Approximately 29:10 or so, Dr. Phillips shared "in part" that all of the mother's eggs/seeds that she'll ever have are already in their bodies at their individual times of birth. And that we are all w/our mother's (& their mother's & so on...) in their ovaries... I learned it a little differently from our Dr./Apostle/Pastor & his Prophetess/Elder wife, many years ago. W/all due respect for Dr. Phillips as the qualified doctor that she most beautifully is, I'd like to share their views on this particular point. They shared w/their congregation that... 1st -- Our Heavenly ABBA (Father) AHAYAH (God) made man (Adam) fully equipped w/all of the "seeds-only" in his loins that he will ever need (for life) to produce life. ❤️ 2nd -- Then, HE created Eve (woman) from Adams rib, which came from Adam's womb. While creating Eve, YAH (God) fully equipped her w/all of the "eggs-only" that she would ever need (for life) in her ovaries to be able to receive "life" from Adam's seeds. ❤️ YAH/HE also placed HIS OWN DNA that HE designed into both of their DNA's to "mark" them as HIS chosen "seed"... This was the final equation of all of the DNA's/Genetic materials being essential for both of the male seeds & the female eggs to come together --- through the most beautiful fertilization process of them making love w/one another .❤️°*~•.👶🏽•~*°```❤️```°*~•.👶🏽.•~*°❤️. &... creating a beautiful baby boy or girl!!! ____________________________ Thus, "life" is in the seeds not in the eggs that must be fertilized 1st by the seeds in order to even become a life. Ijs for clarity b/cuz it does matter how this is taught... Even more insightful, Our Heavenly ABBA YAH (Our Heavenly "MALE" Father Figure & CREATOR of all things...) miraculously placed HIS OWN "seed" into the earthly virgin Mother, Mary. As most people may know that 9 months later, Mary gave birth to YAH'S (God's) Only Begotten Son, YesHAYAH (Jesus) Ha'Mashiakh (The Messiah) -- The Lion of The Tribe of Yehudah (Judah)!!!✨🦁✨ Again, the seed fertilized the egg, & gave it life!!! ❤️ In essence, we are all w/our father's, first, & not w/our mother's. The Scriptures share w/us that "YAH (God) knew us before HE placed us into our mother's wombs." ❤️✨👑✨❤️ Prayerfully, this has been helpful & revealing... 🙏🏾 🙏🏽 🙏🏾 🙏🏽 🙏🏾 SHALOM, (Abundant Peace & Blessings,) ~~Anita
A few years ago, I felt life was blowing up and requested a 3 day retreat in a hotel for my birthday. I was told that i was running away from my problems and i didnt need to do it... i listened bc i trusted that counsel, and life increasingly got heavier. I've asked again once since but didnt push for it... so NOW I'm only a few minutes in, and I am determined that I am doing this. I need to be alone. I work from home, home school, and I am always feeling responsible for someone or something. I believe part of how I made it through my childhood as "ok" as I did was because I was able to be by msyself often to think and imagine and relax. I need to get back to that, and to not feel guilty for wanting to get away. If i dont get anything else from this, I will get that. We just left the beach and every morning i got away and just either sat by the ocean or walked or listened... it was amazing. Whew. I'm getting so much and yall havent even started the deep stuff yet LOL I just finished and I literally feel like the Father led me to this. The garden. The ocean. I used to have an image of a garden and called it my happy place. It was always a place of just perfevt peace... it was always a place of safety for me... it was God's gift for me personally and emotionally I believe.. and here lately, within the last month I actually (tearfully) exclaimed that I felt like my garden had turned into a bunch of weeds and I was so sad and heartbroken. Ive tried tk fix myself spiritually while ignoring myself emotionally. I almost audibly could hear God saying I was trying to BE better without BEING better. As in, I was trying to correct things externally without addressing the heartbreak, anxiety, and disappointments, etc that caused them to fall apart. Just pray more. Fast more. Listen to more worship. And evsn realizing that i dont have a safe place eight now. I just prayed a few days ago for God to bring people into my life to be that for me. Chrystal, thank you so much for asking the most spot on questions and circling back - especially to where your home isnt the safe space its supoosed to be. Ive said those exact words. I really juat feel seen right now. Like the thjngs ive been praying and asking God and seeing and saying.. IM NOT CRAZY! It's been the Lord wooing me tenderly to get me to let Him in to heal whats been broken so I could thrive again and finally break out of survivial mode. 13+ years is far too long. I'm ready to bloom. OH MY GOODNESS! Even that phrase, (sorry yall now im rambling a bit) but the phrase made to bloom was stuck in my head and i bought a cup and someone was going to customize it for me. I kept going betwen a row of flowers or the phrase "made to bloom" and then I just said I wanted "Bloom". He is so intentional. And maybe I'm not as far off as I thought. Thank you both so much!!!!
Love this discussion. I love the sound of the ocean and looking at trees. So many gems. Nature is healing because we *are* nature and part of it. Yah did this all intentionally- agreed ❤
I just did the breathe in, hold and breathe out slowly, can I tell you I felt tears flooding my eyes(but at work can't let those out....lol) followed by tongues.... JESUS! it's deep. Will definitely do it more often 😊
Crystal thank you so much for this show. I appreciate so much all of the information shared and the encouragement toward being honest and transparent with ourselves and trusting our bodies. I had to listen to this twice with open ears and an open heart. I truly thank both you and Dr. Anita Philips for sharing.
Thank you Lord as he continued to reveal these things about me. I can relate go what they are saying. Thank both of you ladies. So thankful I have been introduced to Dr. Phillips ❤️Love you Crystal and your whole family has helped me in my life.
Deep yet comfortable conversation. Love it. It also gives me a chill vibe to see Chrystal with her hair twisted out like this. I feel like I was a part of the conversation. 😍😍😍😍😍 As a matter of fact, let me just subscribe rn.
I love this episode its so full of information that I have never thought about! as a now 26 yr old I'm realizing alot concerning my life and choosing to prioritize rest and being still its very important ! thank you ladies for this podcast us youngins need things like this !
I've realized that the education Dr. Philips is giving us is the scriptures "be renewed in the spirit of your mind" . In the order it was meant to be given. The heart, the body . With this education you automatically are being renewed because it causes a person to speak differently about yourself, your circumstance . As we change our approach to our lives acknowledgely the heart, the body our choice of words change. We are being renewed day by day as we grow in this awareness of ourselves. I am more and more changed day by day (or year and month it's a process😁)and I realized I speak differently about myself and see things differently. These talks are amazing thank you both so much for spilling out your lives like you do.
I still believe in emotional intelligence! I understand what she’s saying but feel your emotions acknowledge them and act intelligently towards others after you process it!!
This talk represents so many things that I love about Chrystal's interviews... she asks great questions, she's not afraid to dig, and respectfully engage... whomever said to her that no where in Scripture does it tell us to go to ourselves for answers... I think of passages that tell us to 'examine ourselves' (2 Cor 13:5, 1 Cor 11:28-32) and 'be discerning'. Knowing ourselves seems to be part of our life as Christ followers; Christ is always the ultimate answer. Thanks Chrystal and team for your work to maintain this platform of encouragement, because this is tough to work through! Also I love Dr. Anita! 💛💛🟡🟡
I must say, this was dead on. I feel like my 40's have been the worst. I celebrated 5 years of being breast cancer free when I celebrated my 40th birthday! I knew how my 30s were and felt, 40's is my time to evolve and pivot. I'm going through a phase in my life where I'm realizing my coping skills and my way of getting by while life is lifeing is not enough. Usually, my smooth jazz and gospel music ease me. Normally, my pen to paper when I journal replaces the frustration I may have. Without getting in-depth, I just want to thank you both for sharing. Long story short, I'm not a reader. Im 44 and have read two books in my life from start to finish. When this podcast ended, I had several screenshots of key points I want to reference and share with the ladies in my church, as well as outline when I get my book!!! I am working on a motivational book that I'm writing to myself, and much of what was shared I can relate to. I especially like how we "women that understand what you both were saying, but don't have time or don't know how" were recognized. Often time information is shared from one perspective, and not all. For example, there are many books on how to build financial wealth, but what about those that don't have to start? Thank you for understanding and being transparent!!!
Thank you 😊 so much Dr Anita for sharing your thoughts gifts and talents. I will be getting that ❤book soonest. Love you and your light shines through what you do.May God continue to use you to touch and heal hearts worldwide. ❤❤❤
Chrystal, I just love your personality. Hearing you speak gives me so much Joy. You totally nailed the Sadness Personality there haha. You are great! Love you. Be Blessed.
😭😭😭 soooooo much GOODNESS HERE!!!! Idk what to even comment on specifications 🤣🤣 it was just all THAT good!!! I love how flat-footed Dr. Anita is ans how reassuring her stance is!! I feel like crying... just because!!!
Dr. Anita Phillips is doing an important work-pushing against the misogyny that is so prevalent in our culture. I believe God is healing his daughters in preparation for the future. 1:05:55
I love love love this take on life and our needs. as a therapist, I’m aware we often do not allow ourselves to FEEL. Thanks Dr Anita for making it simple. What God - given book! This info.offers the keys to the Kingdom Living ! 🔑 I will purchase asap!
I loveeeeee Dr. Anita...I am looking forward to reading the book. I know it is life changing! Thank you ,Dr. Anita for all you went through to produce this wonderful book for us!❤
Good morning Mrs. Evans -Hurst and Dr. Phillips. The interview moved me. I bought the book on my kindle, because of the information shared and the authentic way everything was explained. I too am a counselor, (LPC) and I was moved by the connection of the plant and the neuron illustration, I totally got that. I'm so excited to read the book and I recommended it for our book club and shared the link to the video. One last note , Mrs. Chrystal, I am a subscriber to your channel. God bless you both, D. Elaine Miller
Dr. Anita just BLESSED ME AGAIN...her TRANSPARENCY about challenges of the book process just helped me in MY process! I JUST LOVE THE WAY SHE FLOWS! GOD'S SPECIAL GIRL!❤❤❤
....and one more thing ... hearing the connection about gut health and serotonin was really eye opening for me - especially when you are used to hearing about serotonin being a " brain" thing
Thank you @Chrystal Evans Hurst for sharing this incredible gift with your online community! This 👏🏾 was 👏🏾 so 👏🏾 good. I absolutely wish I could join everyone in California next month but while I’m here in GA I must pin this chat as something I need to revisit. This conversation gave me full on permission to love my body. So often, I have wanted to curse being human but I knew that was the trick of the enemy. “Me-cations” are a REAL thing and this episode affirmed the name I have been calling it! It’s time to produce some real fruit Fam! ❤❤❤
I also do Me-Cations , as a matter of fact, I just came from one this past weekend. For me, it’s my time to relax, relate and release so that I can return to my norm refreshed and renewed!! ❤🧖🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️
It’s the spirit that feeds the heart. Dr. Joel Tudman has a really good word with connections of the spirit and heart as it relates to faith in his sermon ‘the ramifications of faith’. Very good word. When we go to church and we are praising, seeking, knocking, etc, I believe a lot of that is for the soul (mind, will, and emotions), not our spirit. The spirit is always ready, it’s the flesh that is weak. Our soul is what needs the restoration. The Spirit goes to work on that soul. The heart is also involved and that purification process by the LORD is working thru our spirits in the heart space. All in tandem. Absolutely amazing experience when I think about it
❤🙌🏽💙 about to share this podcast with my nieces Facebook group. I hope they listen and Receive. This is so Amazingly Powerful. Thank you Both. I wish I could come on the Retreat. All my Love Queens.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this conversation❤. I feel blessed that I found both of you in the last 7 days. This conversation has brought me so much joy 🥰
OMG!!! This conversation is so good. It brought up so many emotions 😢 but made so much sense to me. I ordered the book to get started reading. I'm in transition in my life, and this helped me so much. Thanks, Crystal and Dr. Anita💜💜 I love ya'll.
I really needed this today. I woke up feeling unhappy and I was just looking for something to help me feel positive emotions to give me positive energy. This just helped me to stay true to my emotions and not bury them as usual but actually sort through it.
This is inspiring because I feel seen as well as helped! Downloaded the book on Audible today. I'm worth it and I'm going to learn the RIGHT work to do. Thank you both for using this platform to share this out.
Thank you both for talking about the value of emotions as opposed to demeaning the use of them. Can't tell you how over I am with people talking about emotions as if having them and using them is wrong.Dang. Thanks for talking about the value of crying--I am working on that.
I am listening to this convo as I am helping my Mom who has hoarded things clean out her house. This is so timely for me. Time for me to make sure I get watered.
‘Inside Out’ I looooovvee that movie. That disappointment Dr Phillips referenced is my experience. I meet goals but get really disappointed when the feeling isn’t as high as expected especially from all that I feel like I just lost getting to goal. I start to think ‘is it worth it’ and how could I have assessed whether it was or not wisely before I expended all that I expanded. Counting the cost is what the spirit has rooted in me about that as I continue to ask God for more wisdom everyday. Entirely.
This was soooo good! I love Dr. Anita. God has given her such a brilliant mind. She says things in a way (as it relates to scripture) in a way I've never thought. I'm going to listen to my body everyday.
😅❤WHEW...that was "wholly" beautiful. This talk took me back to my 20's & 30's wherein I owned what my Mom called rythm...I learned to listen to my body. After menopause and depression due to not having my heart's desire met; I "felt" I lost the ability to be "intouch" with my body. Dr. Anita embodies so much of my personal belief about the beauty of how our Wonderous Savior created us to live, move, & be. Love this seeding for my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you❤❤❤
This episode made me decide to seek a counselor, at 75 years old. I have the book and can’t wait to read it.
Hallelujah and amen! You are a true testament that it’s never too late for change! May you receive the peace and healing that you deserve.
Good for you ❤
Same here, I finally decided that I needed help putting in the work🙌🏽
Listen.. about a month ago I didnt have work on a Friday but my husband did and I debated keeping our son home from daycare because, why send him to daycare when Im at home? BUt then I decided, "No.. Im going to have a me day" so I woke up, dropped our son off, and did just that. Went to Starbucks, walked around some stores to window shop, then ended my day with lunch and a movie.. listen...

So glad to hear about your experience! Good for you!
She is my on line therApist in my head Love her. She made me go deep within myself. I’m a mess but am fixable Ty Jesus.
I repeat! I'M A MESS BUT I'M FIXABLE!

@@ChrystalHurstTHAT should be on a coffee mug or tshirt!
@@KoddiDunnSo True! I’m a mess but I am fixable!!! Lord
DITTO, DITTO, DITTO! Lol.... yes, all of this! 🙌🏾😀 Thank you Jesus! 💖
To see Dr. Brene Brown be in awe by Dr. Anita Philips gave me a higher sense of honor towards Dr. Anita. I respect Dr. Brown, but Dr. Anita is something divine❤
Where was this? Was it a podcast or a show? Please recommend
At the woman evolve conference.
I can’t get enough of this conversation - “goals should not be gathered, they should be grown!” I get it!!! 🍀
😊❤
Nothing but love for Dr Anita, even her voice is calming 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
I’m soooooo glad this talk was about emotions ! For all of us emotional people out here.
❤Yes!❤
Many pastors need to listen to this coz they keep teaching folks that having faith means basically not having emotions. There’s a lot of misunderstanding and shame that comes with emotions in the church and it’s really damaging. Especially the “if u know the outcome, why fret?!” teaching

I just discovered her at the Potters House this past weekend 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 oh my goodness that sermon was so so powerful!
Me too,she is awesome
Me too & now I’m in love with her & her way of teaching
This is how I discovered Dr.Anita . Thank GOD for the divine appointment that made this connection #healing
Thank God for the gift of these two sisters In Christ.🎉
I have never felt so engaged in a conversation that I actually wasn’t a part of! This was life changing!
I love you Dr. Anita...you provided me broader context of what GOD has been showing me in The Word about connectivity and the emotions are a part of beautiful design! I am learning to be proud of the entire person GOD created me as!! Instead making myself smaller and trying to hide myself because "emotions" are "weak/bad"!! I love your weirdness...GOD meant for you to share!! 🎉🎉🎉 I pray and thank GOD for you everyday and will continue!
Lady Chrystal Evans asks the most relatable and relevant questions. This is so good!!!

This was SO GOOD! The church needs to hear this message and start preaching it everywhere!
Yes, in total agreement for “MeCations”! Rest to restore our energy is essential. We cannot overflow from an empty vessel.
The Dr. Is in the house.Thank you for taking your time to pour into us. Your just Amazing.😘🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It’s almost unbelievable how much I have in common with Dr. Phillips. I remember when I first came across her while researching for my dissertation was the first time I felt affirmed in my journey of reconciling faith and mental health. I am grateful for her gift to the body of Christ!
Ma’am if you don’t preach from that COUCH!!! My Lord!! This was AWESOME!! ❤
I took my first Mecation in my 20s.(Fun fact, I also started the hashtag on instagram.) I am currently 46 and it is one of the best things that I continue to do for me. When I can’t physically get away, I will let those that I talk to almost daily that I am taking a vow of silence for at most two days. SN: I’m loving everything about this! ♥️
Awesome stuff here w/Dr. Anita Phillips!!! Love her energy...❤️
Would be great to have her as a counselor/therapist/etc....
Quick observation:
@Approximately 29:10 or so,
Dr. Phillips shared "in part" that all of the mother's eggs/seeds that she'll ever have are already in their bodies at their individual times of birth. And that we are all w/our mother's (& their mother's & so on...) in their ovaries...
I learned it a little differently from our Dr./Apostle/Pastor & his Prophetess/Elder wife, many years ago.
W/all due respect for Dr. Phillips as the qualified doctor that she most beautifully is, I'd like to share their views on this particular point.
They shared w/their congregation that...
1st -- Our Heavenly ABBA (Father) AHAYAH (God) made man (Adam) fully equipped w/all of the "seeds-only" in his loins that he will ever need (for life) to produce life. ❤️
2nd -- Then, HE created Eve (woman) from Adams rib, which came from Adam's womb.
While creating Eve, YAH (God) fully equipped her w/all of the "eggs-only" that she would ever need (for life) in her ovaries to be able to receive "life" from Adam's seeds. ❤️
YAH/HE also placed HIS OWN DNA that HE designed into both of their DNA's to "mark" them as HIS chosen "seed"...
This was the final equation of all of the DNA's/Genetic materials being essential for both of the male seeds & the female eggs to come together --- through the most beautiful fertilization process of them making love w/one another
.❤️°*~•.👶🏽•~*°```❤️```°*~•.👶🏽.•~*°❤️.
&...
creating a beautiful baby boy or girl!!!
____________________________
Thus, "life" is in the seeds not in the eggs that must be fertilized 1st by the seeds in order to even become a life.
Ijs for clarity b/cuz it does matter how this is taught...
Even more insightful, Our Heavenly ABBA YAH (Our Heavenly "MALE" Father Figure & CREATOR of all things...) miraculously placed HIS OWN "seed" into the earthly virgin Mother, Mary.
As most people may know that 9 months later, Mary gave birth to YAH'S (God's) Only Begotten Son,
YesHAYAH (Jesus) Ha'Mashiakh (The Messiah) -- The Lion of The Tribe of Yehudah (Judah)!!!✨🦁✨
Again, the seed fertilized the egg, & gave it life!!! ❤️
In essence, we are all w/our father's, first, & not w/our mother's.
The Scriptures share w/us that "YAH (God) knew us before HE placed us into our mother's wombs." ❤️✨👑✨❤️
Prayerfully, this has been helpful &
revealing... 🙏🏾 🙏🏽 🙏🏾 🙏🏽 🙏🏾

One of the best conversations I’ve ever listened to.
A few years ago, I felt life was blowing up and requested a 3 day retreat in a hotel for my birthday. I was told that i was running away from my problems and i didnt need to do it... i listened bc i trusted that counsel, and life increasingly got heavier. I've asked again once since but didnt push for it... so NOW I'm only a few minutes in, and I am determined that I am doing this. I need to be alone.

We just left the beach and every morning i got away and just either sat by the ocean or walked or listened... it was amazing. Whew. I'm getting so much and yall havent even started the deep stuff yet LOL
I just finished and I literally feel like the Father led me to this. The garden. The ocean. I used to have an image of a garden and called it my happy place. It was always a place of just perfevt peace... it was always a place of safety for me... it was God's gift for me personally and emotionally I believe.. and here lately, within the last month I actually (tearfully) exclaimed that I felt like my garden had turned into a bunch of weeds and I was so sad and heartbroken. Ive tried tk fix myself spiritually while ignoring myself emotionally. I almost audibly could hear God saying I was trying to BE better without BEING better. As in, I was trying to correct things externally without addressing the heartbreak, anxiety, and disappointments, etc that caused them to fall apart. Just pray more. Fast more.

Come on Mrs. Phillips speak the truth about Jesus and His emotions it is real. I love it ❤
Love this discussion. I love the sound of the ocean and looking at trees. So many gems. Nature is healing because we *are* nature and part of it. Yah did this all intentionally- agreed ❤
I just did the breathe in, hold and breathe out slowly, can I tell you I felt tears flooding my eyes(but at work can't let those out....lol) followed by tongues.... JESUS! it's deep. Will definitely do it more often 😊
🎉❤ what a rush! Soul cleansing! You must do this every morning!
Great conversation Crystal & Dr. Anita, so good to hear women of faith discussing practical life issues and still balances it with the Scriptures.
Dr. Anita is so down to earth. I think I would’ve been all over the place mentally sleeping by myself in the woods…
Such a beautiful & light-hearted conversation. I feel grateful for this type of content. 🧡
Thank you Dr. Anita and Chrystal for this. This was such a needed discourse. I feel enlightened and helped.
This was sooooo good for sooooo many reasons !!!!!!!! AND I'm bout to go order this book ! I learn so much EVERYTIME I listen to Dr. Anita
l really enjoyed this and I will get the book. I was taking notes in my journal .....blessings to you on this journey
Crystal thank you so much for this show. I appreciate so much all of the information shared and the encouragement toward being honest and transparent with ourselves and trusting our bodies. I had to listen to this twice with open ears and an open heart. I truly thank both you and Dr. Anita Philips for sharing.
Thank you Lord as he continued to reveal these things about me. I can relate go what they are saying. Thank both of you ladies. So thankful I have been introduced to Dr. Phillips ❤️Love you Crystal and your whole family has helped me in my life.
Deep yet comfortable conversation. Love it. It also gives me a chill vibe to see Chrystal with her hair twisted out like this. I feel like I was a part of the conversation. 😍😍😍😍😍
As a matter of fact, let me just subscribe rn.
#LifechangingConversations!❤❤ Thank you so much Chrystal and Dr. Phillips!
Just what I needed to hear today. Excellent interview/conversation. Thank you both.
Loved this conversation. Enlightening, encouraging and empowering. Thank you!! I bought the audible version last week and I Love it ❤
I love this episode its so full of information that I have never thought about! as a now 26 yr old I'm realizing alot concerning my life and choosing to prioritize rest and being still its very important ! thank you ladies for this podcast us youngins need things like this !
I've realized that the education Dr. Philips is giving us is the scriptures "be renewed in the spirit of your mind" . In the order it was meant to be given. The heart, the body . With this education you automatically are being renewed because it causes a person to speak differently about yourself, your circumstance . As we change our approach to our lives acknowledgely the heart, the body our choice of words change. We are being renewed day by day as we grow in this awareness of ourselves. I am more and more changed day by day (or year and month it's a process😁)and I realized I speak differently about myself and see things differently. These talks are amazing thank you both so much for spilling out your lives like you do.
I still believe in emotional intelligence! I understand what she’s saying but feel your emotions acknowledge them and act intelligently towards others after you process it!!
This talk represents so many things that I love about Chrystal's interviews... she asks great questions, she's not afraid to dig, and respectfully engage... whomever said to her that no where in Scripture does it tell us to go to ourselves for answers... I think of passages that tell us to 'examine ourselves' (2 Cor 13:5, 1 Cor 11:28-32) and 'be discerning'. Knowing ourselves seems to be part of our life as Christ followers; Christ is always the ultimate answer. Thanks Chrystal and team for your work to maintain this platform of encouragement, because this is tough to work through! Also I love Dr. Anita! 💛💛🟡🟡
I must say, this was dead on. I feel like my 40's have been the worst. I celebrated 5 years of being breast cancer free when I celebrated my 40th birthday! I knew how my 30s were and felt, 40's is my time to evolve and pivot. I'm going through a phase in my life where I'm realizing my coping skills and my way of getting by while life is lifeing is not enough. Usually, my smooth jazz and gospel music ease me. Normally, my pen to paper when I journal replaces the frustration I may have. Without getting in-depth, I just want to thank you both for sharing. Long story short, I'm not a reader. Im 44 and have read two books in my life from start to finish. When this podcast ended, I had several screenshots of key points I want to reference and share with the ladies in my church, as well as outline when I get my book!!! I am working on a motivational book that I'm writing to myself, and much of what was shared I can relate to. I especially like how we "women that understand what you both were saying, but don't have time or don't know how" were recognized. Often time information is shared from one perspective, and not all. For example, there are many books on how to build financial wealth, but what about those that don't have to start? Thank you for understanding and being transparent!!!
I love Dr Annita ❤. Thanks for sharing. Just lost my job two weeks ago and currently going through a lot of emotions
This message was sooo convicting.. 😩 Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾😊
Thank you 😊 so much Dr Anita for sharing your thoughts gifts and talents. I will be getting that ❤book soonest. Love you and your light shines through what you do.May God continue to use you to touch and heal hearts worldwide. ❤❤❤
This is one I will listen to again with pen and paper. Getting that book 👏🏼

Writing in from Nairobi Kenya and I love you both so! Thanks Chrystal for being consistent in creating such beautiful content ❤
Love the convo and the transparency from both. Dr. Anita gives good advice for healing. Looking forward to her life-coaching THRIVE session tonight.
Thank you my Pastors.
I'm in Johannesburg South Africa
You had a great show today I love it 😮❤
Ok, i adore you!! I purchased Dr. Phillips book and it arrived yesterday. I am excited to dive deep into the book! 🌸
wooo hooo!
Chrystal, I just love your personality. Hearing you speak gives me so much Joy. You totally nailed the Sadness Personality there haha. You are great! Love you. Be Blessed.
I've always been a fan of Dr. Anita but knowing that she loves Tony homes too! makes me love her even more :)
😭😭😭 soooooo much GOODNESS HERE!!!! Idk what to even comment on specifications 🤣🤣 it was just all THAT good!!! I love how flat-footed Dr. Anita is ans how reassuring her stance is!! I feel like crying... just because!!!
Dr. Anita Phillips is doing an important work-pushing against the misogyny that is so prevalent in our culture. I believe God is healing his daughters in preparation for the future. 1:05:55
This is so amazing. Thank You.
I love love love this take on life and our needs. as a therapist, I’m aware we often do not allow ourselves to FEEL. Thanks Dr Anita for making it simple. What God - given book! This info.offers the keys to the Kingdom Living ! 🔑 I will purchase asap!
I loveeeeee Dr. Anita...I am looking forward to reading the book. I know it is life changing! Thank you ,Dr. Anita for all you went through to produce this wonderful book for us!❤
I love Chrystal on the coach, your background is breathtaking! It is literally my dream scenery. Keep it coming, we love it ❤❤❤
Good morning Mrs. Evans -Hurst and Dr. Phillips. The interview moved me. I bought the book on my kindle, because of the information shared and the authentic way everything was explained.
I too am a counselor, (LPC) and I was moved by the connection of the plant and the neuron illustration, I totally got that.
I'm so excited to read the book and I recommended it for our book club and shared the link to the video.
One last note , Mrs. Chrystal, I am a subscriber to your channel.
God bless you both,
D. Elaine Miller
❤I have chapter after chapter over again I will read it again I have the auto book I love it
Dr. Anita just BLESSED ME AGAIN...her TRANSPARENCY about challenges of the book process just helped me in MY process! I JUST LOVE THE WAY SHE FLOWS! GOD'S SPECIAL GIRL!❤❤❤
....and one more thing ... hearing the connection about gut health and serotonin was really eye opening for me - especially when you are used to hearing about serotonin being a " brain" thing
Thank you @Chrystal Evans Hurst for sharing this incredible gift with your online community! This 👏🏾 was 👏🏾 so 👏🏾 good. I absolutely wish I could join everyone in California next month but while I’m here in GA I must pin this chat as something I need to revisit. This conversation gave me full on permission to love my body. So often, I have wanted to curse being human but I knew that was the trick of the enemy. “Me-cations” are a REAL thing and this episode affirmed the name I have been calling it! It’s time to produce some real fruit Fam! ❤❤❤
I also do Me-Cations , as a matter of fact, I just came from one this past weekend.
For me, it’s my time to relax, relate and release so that I can return to my norm refreshed and renewed!! ❤🧖🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️
It’s the spirit that feeds the heart. Dr. Joel Tudman has a really good word with connections of the spirit and heart as it relates to faith in his sermon ‘the ramifications of faith’. Very good word.
When we go to church and we are praising, seeking, knocking, etc, I believe a lot of that is for the soul (mind, will, and emotions), not our spirit.
The spirit is always ready, it’s the flesh that is weak. Our soul is what needs the restoration. The Spirit goes to work on that soul. The heart is also involved and that purification process by the LORD is working thru our spirits in the heart space. All in tandem. Absolutely amazing experience when I think about it
I'm learning so much! Thank you for sharing this revelational information 🙏
❤🙌🏽💙 about to share this podcast with my nieces Facebook group. I hope they listen and Receive. This is so Amazingly Powerful. Thank you Both. I wish I could come on the Retreat. All my Love Queens.
This is worth it thank you ,the pain does come bt it passes thats my take home.
This IS SO GOOD‼️❤️
I have thoroughly enjoyed this conversation❤. I feel blessed that I found both of you in the last 7 days. This conversation has brought me so much joy 🥰
OMG!!! This conversation is so good. It brought up so many emotions 😢 but made so much sense to me. I ordered the book to get started reading. I'm in transition in my life, and this helped me so much. Thanks, Crystal and Dr. Anita💜💜 I love ya'll.
I really needed this today. I woke up feeling unhappy and I was just looking for something to help me feel positive emotions to give me positive energy. This just helped me to stay true to my emotions and not bury them as usual but actually sort through it.
Jesus cried. Good idea not to bury those emotions.
This is inspiring because I feel seen as well as helped! Downloaded the book on Audible today. I'm worth it and I'm going to learn the RIGHT work to do. Thank you both for using this platform to share this out.
Thank you both for talking about the value of emotions as opposed to demeaning the use of them. Can't tell you how over I am with people talking about emotions as if having them and using them is wrong.Dang. Thanks for talking about the value of crying--I am working on that.
I needed to hear this on accountability at work. Lord Jesus! That’s a frustrating for me! Whew Chile! 🙏🏾
I’m in love with the yellow couch! 1:26
I am listening to this convo as I am helping my Mom who has hoarded things clean out her house. This is so timely for me. Time for me to make sure I get watered.
I am learning to listen to my body! Thank you Dr. Anita and Chrystal💜💜
Thank God I learned manyyyy years ago to make time for ME!!
‘Inside Out’ I looooovvee that movie.
That disappointment Dr Phillips referenced is my experience. I meet goals but get really disappointed when the feeling isn’t as high as expected especially from all that I feel like I just lost getting to goal. I start to think ‘is it worth it’ and how could I have assessed whether it was or not wisely before I expended all that I expanded.
Counting the cost is what the spirit has rooted in me about that as I continue to ask God for more wisdom everyday. Entirely.
Oh you just answered my question as to why I love the water. Thank you! 💕
Awesome Podcasts so peaceful and calm. Thanks for sharing.❤❤🙂
My husband and I celebrated my 40th birthday at Vegas as well. I also do Air Bnbs often and love the beach! Have a lot in common with you Dr. Anita!
This was soooo good! I love Dr. Anita. God has given her such a brilliant mind. She says things in a way (as it relates to scripture) in a way I've never thought. I'm going to listen to my body everyday.
Bless you Crystal and Dr. Phillips. Know her sister Valerie and of course the one and only Mother "Mom Graham".. The best of best.
😅❤WHEW...that was "wholly" beautiful. This talk took me back to my 20's & 30's wherein I owned what my Mom called rythm...I learned to listen to my body. After menopause and depression due to not having my heart's desire met; I "felt" I lost the ability to be "intouch" with my body. Dr. Anita embodies so much of my personal belief about the beauty of how our Wonderous Savior created us to live, move, & be. Love this seeding for my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you❤❤❤
This was sooo good…it was an informative and empowering interview.I have the audiobook and I’m even more excited to get to it. Thank you both!🙏🏾😊
New listener here: I enjoyed this episode so much.
Thank you!
Ladies thank you for this wonderful conversation.. this is timely. ❤
Anita, God used this book the garden within is healing me
Amen, Thank you Chrystal and Dr. Phillips ❤
