Health Insights Reveal from the Pageant World

Great minds are usually molded by many kinds of challenges and experiences in life. To be able to make a stand in front of many people and actually be crowned for it is definitely a winning moment. I am not talking about myself, of course, I ain’t no beauty queen, but my guest for this episode is!

Former Miss California, just like most of us, was not born with a golden spoon in her mouth but she thrived and still achieved her goals. Listen to this episode and learn from her winning moments in pageants.

"It was this hustler's mentality of: you can't let where you come from keep you down, and you always have to be strategic about using your culture, using your gifts in a smart way, while also not letting it keep you down." - CRYSTAL LEE

The successful personality development coach and entrepreneur, who thrived from a difficult place being Asian-American, recognizes that the highly competitive environment of pageants would sometimes require you to go beyond the lines and limits of a healthy weight. But Crystal also underscores her most prized takeaway from that glamorous world: use your desire, autonomy, and agency to live healthily, thrive, and inspire others.

Each one of us is unique. And unique as we are, we have different relationships with our bodies and food. And those relationships should never be conflated by our body shape or weight. Weight loss and living healthy is about looking inside and starting to implement the changes you want from your own truth!
