Krys here.
I’ve spent most of my life asking questions I probably wasn’t supposed to ask.
About God.
Money.
Success.
Worth.
Church.
Who gets to have authority.
And why women are so often taught to trust everybody before we learn to trust ourselves.
Then there was church.
Scripture. Sacrifice. Giving. Prosperity. Greed. Contentment.
And a little girl quietly wondering whether wanting to be rich meant something was spiritually wrong with her.
I didn’t know it then, but I was learning something.
About money, yes.
But also about worth.
About what good people are supposed to want.
What women are allowed to ask for.
What God expects.
And whose voice gets to be louder than your own.
I started sharing what I was learning about making money and building businesses. On YouTube. On national radio. Everywhere people would listen.
That work eventually helped more than 80,000 people start businesses with $0, because that was literally my story too.
Then I left radio.
Went to seminary.
And watched a whole version of the life I thought I was building fall apart.
WTF!
But somewhere in that unraveling, the questions got bigger.
What makes us believe what we believe about ourselves? Why can we know better and still not do better? What did family, church, culture, race, gender, money, and survival teach us before we were old enough to question any of it?
And what happens when a woman finally starts questioning it?
That’s the work now.
Girl+God grew out of the same questions I did.
Not because I have everything figured out.
I absolutely do not.
But I have learned that a life built by constantly abandoning yourself will eventually ask for its money back.
And I’m much more interested in what happens when women trust themselves enough to build something different.

WHAT KRYSTAL’S WORK EXPLORES
Worth + Identity
Who taught you who you were allowed to be, and what happens when you stop believing them?
Self-Trust + Discernment
How women learn to hear themselves beneath religion, relationships, expectations, fear, and everybody else’s opinions.
God + Spiritual Life
A relationship with the divine that doesn’t require self-erasure.
Money + Economic Agency
How what we believe about worth, safety, desire, and enough shapes what we earn, keep, ask for, build, and believe we deserve.
Formation
The things we learned before we knew we were learning them.
Krystal brings theology, media, humor, cultural fluency, and an unreasonable number of questions to conversations about worth, identity, faith, money, and what it means to actually trust yourself.
