Crystal ThompsonAutumn Finklea DrMichele D. Clark @Katherine Ann Crawford Today, we celebrate the graduates of our inaugural LIFT X UnMuted™ cohort. To our three graduates, thank you for trusting yourselves enough to step into the unknown. Thank you for trusting us to walk alongside you. Your willingness to stay coachable, lean into the uncomfortable, and keep showing up made all the difference. One of the biggest takeaways for me is that coaching is never one-sided. You taug

Our minds are more powerful than we can comprehend. When you claim that you can or claim that you can't, it will be so. The discomfort of discipline is temporary. Discipline becomes habit. Habit becomes your new normal. It takes the same effort and discomfort to wish you had done something and suffer the loss as it does to push through it and enjoy the fruits of your labor. What result do you want? At the end of the day, we live the life of our past choices. You have a choice

Two days ago, I was asked to speak at today's event. So, for the last two days, I've been ruthlessly preparing, refining, and carefully articulating my message. Speaking is a refining process. Today was another one of those days where an opportunity showed up, and I said yes. I had a Zoom meeting at 12 and the speaking event was from 12 to 3. I considered canceling the Zoom call, but I didn't. I'm so glad I didn't. First, the woman I met over a month ago turned out to be a ph

Some happen around a dinner table. If you're in the Austin area and you've been curious about longevity, optimization, and taking ownership of your healthcare journey, I'd love to invite you to come sit at my table. Join me alongside physicians, innovators, and change makers who are redefining what's possible. Ask your questions. Challenge your assumptions. Discover options that are more accessible than you may realize. The right room changes what you know. The right conversa

Growth doesn't happen after we feel ready. It happens because we're willing to step forward before we do. Preparation matters. But preparation and application are not the same. You don't become ready by waiting. You become ready by doing. I'm honored to share the official video created by Influential Women ahead of my upcoming magazine feature. Thank you to the Influential Women team for believing in my story and the mission behind the UnMuted Movement.

It’s in the room. Proximity changes perspective. Perspective changes decisions. Decisions change lives. Join me this Thursday in Dallas as I speak alongside Bill Walsh at the PowerTeam International CEO Summit. If you’re serious about growth, don’t watch from a distance. Get in the room.

It's what we've normalized within us. Many of the behaviors that hold us back didn't begin as self-sabotage. They began as survival. They were shaped by environments, relationships, and experiences that taught us who we believed we had to be. But awareness changes everything. You don't have to judge the version of you that learned to survive. Just give yourself permission to become the version that no longer has to. Growth doesn't start with shame. It starts with seeing yours

Thank you, Shirley Baez, for continuing to use your voice to educate and fight for those who served. Your service didn’t end when you took off the uniform. As someone who spent years navigating the VA healthcare system, this part stopped me in my tracks: veterans should never have to fear losing the benefits they earned simply because they’re following their doctor’s recommendations or pursuing the treatment path that’s best for them. For me, that path eventually meant seekin

I've heard that song a thousand times. But today, I heard it differently. When he kept repeating that he didn't mind if it rained forever, I immediately thought about how much my relationship with life's "storms" has changed. I used to dread them. Now, I welcome them. Then another lyric hit me about the rain putting him to sleep and waking him up again. It made me think about how God often lets an old version of us fall away so He can awaken the person He created us to become

A woman doesn't become muted because she loses her voice. She becomes muted when the relationship between her experiences, adaptations, identity, and purpose fractures. She may still be successful. She may still be speaking. She may still be leading. But internally... her story no longer makes sense to her. She isn't lacking confidence. She's lacking coherence. My work isn't about giving women a louder voice. It's about helping them reconstruct the blueprint that reconnects w

A few weeks ago, The Larry Steinhouse Show told me no. Not rudely. Not dismissively. Just honestly. Most people hear "no" and stop. I heard, "Not this way. Not yet." Instead of taking it personally, I went back to work. Today, I had the opportunity to show Larry what his "no" produced. That conversation became the blueprint for a sponsorship program and nonprofit dedicated to helping women UnMute their voices and pursue the purpose that's been inside them all along. One thing

You can show up every day. You can put in the work. You can have the vision. But if you can't clearly articulate what you need, whether that's support, capital, an opportunity, or the right connection, you'll keep wondering why no one is showing up for you. People can't respond to what they don't know. And it's not just about asking others. When you speak, your voice doesn't only travel into the world. It travels through you. Every word reinforces your identity. Every declara

After Dr. Stefano Sinicropi invited me to LA to attend his Longevity event and a mastermind with the LEGENDARY Tim Storey, David Meltzer, and Marie Diamond, to name a few, my mind, body, and soul felt like they melted. For weeks afterward, the only thing I could hear—and the only response I had when people asked how I was doing—was, "Exceedingly and abundantly." If we have spoken, you already know. Those are the only three words that keep ringing in my ears. This walk of chil

That's less than many people spend on dinner and drinks. Yet it could put you in a room that changes the way you think about your health, your future, and your network. A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending the Speed of Light Dinner Experience, and I left with far more than a great meal. @followers I was surrounded by pioneers in longevity, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and personal development. The conversations challenged the way I think about health, wealth, pu

Lately, I've found myself overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement for what's ahead. This season of my life is about elevating women, advocating for the causes that matter most to me, and creating opportunities for others to be seen, heard, and remembered. When I started writing UnMute Yourself, I knew my story had a purpose. But I also knew the mission was always bigger than my story alone. I truly believe we're meant to be conduits of His blessings, not the destination. Th

Not because of what I have. Because of who I’ve become. I’m grateful that six months ago feels like a different lifetime. My mindset has changed so much that I barely recognize the woman I used to be. I’m grateful that after years of being highly medicated following active duty, I’m living medication-free. I’m grateful that I no longer need permission to walk in my purpose. I don’t need others to tell me who I should be, what I should say, or how I should live. I’m grateful f

People often ask me how I've changed so much from year to year, and even more over the decades. The answer is simple. I intentionally distance myself from people who check my cup to see if I have more than they do, and stay close to those who check to see if I have enough. I immersed myself in books that challenged my thinking, replacing a scarcity mindset with one of abundance, gratitude, and possibility. I changed the way I speak to myself, because our words become the arch

If we’re fortunate, we get around 30,000 days. Every “yes” costs you one of them. So stop saying yes to what doesn’t move you toward the life you’re called to build. Choose purpose over comfort. Growth over familiarity. Progress over perfection. And don’t fear failure. Failure isn’t a stop sign. It’s a data point. Every lesson gets you one step closer to where you’re meant to be. The only promise any of us has is that one day our time here will end. So play full out. Build th

That's why I'm so excited to finally begin this journey. For the past few years, I've watched as longevity testing became more available, but between the testing and the recommended supplements, it just wasn't practical for me. Then I met Dr. Stefano Sinicropi and the Genetic Lifespan team. Last week, I completed my test. Today, I received the notification that my sample arrived at the lab. Now the countdown begins. In about four weeks, I'll meet one-on-one with a physician t

A magnet doesn't chase. It pulls. The question isn't whether you have goals. The question is whether your goals are magnetic enough to pull you toward the person you were called to become. The right goals change your decisions before they ever change your results. If your life looks exactly the same whether you reach your goal or not, it probably isn't a goal. It's a wish. The strongest goals aren't attached to what you'll have. They're attached to who you'll become. Women re
