@Joseph Groom 😍 In November 2025, I started Photography by Cristal and Memoir Skool. My two passions! Then I joined AI Storytellers, and the rest is history! I got banned from The Skool Hub and Gossify my first week!! I didn't understand the systems! It has taken me 6 months to create my own offers! I was here to learn, and it is an endless journey! I love Skool. I never did learn anything in school. I left in 10th grade. I got my first modeling contract at 15! I went to Tokyo instead of finishing high school. I did not like school at all.

@Chris Earl Awesome! Nice to meet you here today!
📸 I Didn't Build Another Photography Community...
I built a place where people can finally feel confident being seen. If you've ever thought... ✨ "I'm not photogenic." ✨ "I hate having my picture taken." ✨ "I'll update my profile photo someday..." You're not alone. Inside Photography by Cristal, I help people create Hollywood-level headshots from anywhere in the world through live guided sessions using just a phone and natural light. No studio. No fancy equipment. No pressure. Just real coaching, real confidence, and a community that cheers you on. If you're ready to elevate your personal brand and finally have a profile photo you love, I'd love to welcome you. Come say hello! Tell me what you do, where you're from, and what inspires you. Let's grow together. 💛📸 Photography by Cristal Book Your Session Here.

🚪 Doors of Choice.
One thing I've noticed over the years is that fear has a habit of disguising itself as a lack of choice. "I can't do that." "I have no option." "That's not for me.” If we are fearful of Door B, and we only choose A because it feels safe, is it really a choice? Confidence isn't about forcing yourself through every door. It's about having the freedom to choose. Often the door isn't locked. We're just convinced it is. The goal isn't to push yourself into things you don't want. The goal is to regain the freedom to choose between the doors in front of you. What door have you convinced yourself is locked?
🚪 Doors of Choice.

@Jake Hill I love this perspective. 💛 Sometimes the biggest walls aren't around us—they're the ones we've quietly built in our own minds. When we choose curiosity over fear, those walls begin to disappear, and we realize there were possibilities all around us the entire time. Maybe the door was never locked... and maybe the walls were never really there. ✨

@Jake Hill I love this. 💛 That really resonates with me. Awareness gives us information, and information gives us choices. The more we understand something, the less power fear has over us. I also love what you said about hiding. It doesn't protect us from the hard things—it often keeps us from the beautiful things too. The opportunities, relationships, growth, and dreams are usually waiting on the other side of the walls we built ourselves. For me, stepping through those walls has led to some of the greatest blessings in my life. 📸✨

Sitting in waiting room scared to death to be put to sleep. This is the surgery waiting room but I don’t feel like I’m really getting surgery just an internal heart sonogram tee. Thanks for listening. I have no one here during my procedure and that has me feeling a little down. There are people I could have asked but I didn’t. I’m guaranteed to cry before they sedate me. Very emotional. I love the skool hub. I don’t feel the owner would ever judge anything we do or say here and I’m so thankful for that. People are so mean to others .

My heart goes out to you. 💛 Sitting in a waiting room alone before a procedure can feel so much bigger than the procedure itself. The waiting, the uncertainty, the thoughts that start running through your mind—it's a lot for one person to carry. And if you cry before they sedate you, that's okay. Truly. You're human. You're scared. You're facing something unknown today. Tears don't mean you're weak; they mean you're feeling something important. One thing I've learned is that courage doesn't mean not being afraid. Courage is showing up anyway. I'm glad you shared this instead of carrying it by yourself. And I'm glad you've found a community where you feel safe enough to say, "I'm scared." That's a gift. A few hours from now, this part will be behind you. The procedure will be over. You'll be waking up on the other side of it. For now, be gentle with yourself. I'm sending a prayer your way: 🙏 Lord, please surround her with peace today. Guide the hands of every doctor, nurse, and technician involved in her care. Replace fear with comfort, loneliness with Your presence, and uncertainty with trust. Let her know she is not alone. Amen. You don't have to be brave every second. You only have to take the next step in front of you. And you've already done that by walking through the door. 💛
