Ep 26: Success Isn’t Always Loud - Sometimes It’s Slow, Honest and Earned.
In this week’s episode of the She Who Dares Podcast, Krystal shares the story of how she ended up featured in Forbes, without paying to play. She dives deep into what this milestone means, the long road to get there, and the very real emotions of feeling like the littlest fish in a very big pond.
If you’ve ever felt small in the rooms you’re stepping into, or like you’re not where you thought you’d be by now, this is your reminder to trust your path and own your integrity because the journey matters more than the highlight reel.
Inside the episode, Krystal dives into:
- The behind-the-scenes story of her first authentic feature in Forbes
- Why she’s always said no to “vanity” pay-to-play articles and why integrity matters so much
- The surprising feelings of embarrassment and unworthiness that surfaced, even when the win was real
- The difference between staying true to your values and taking the “easy” path for recognition
- Her reminder that if you’re the biggest fish in the pond, you’re in the wrong pond
- How this moment reinforces the power of impact, real relationships, and unwavering integrity
This isn’t about chasing vanity metrics or flashy status. It’s about staying rooted in what matters: real impact, honest work, and knowing that the universe follows your lead.
Because the woman you want to be? She’s already inside you, she just needs you to keep showing up.
