It’s The Human Experience: Overcoming Self-Doubt, Embracing Self-Worth & Emotional Intelligence, Strengthening Self-Awareness, Building Confidence and Purpose
Welcome to It’s the Human Experience Podcast — where we talk transparently and believe together, because we can do hard things.
My goal is to help you see that you already have everything you need to change your life and rise into your highest self.
Too often, we isolate, compartmentalize, and even self-sabotage while striving to become our best selves. It’s time to redefine the way we approach self-improvement, personal development, overcoming self-doubt, embracing self-worth, strengthening self-awareness, building confidence, and emotional intelligence — along with success, goals, self-care, faith, and purpose.
Every Thursday, join me, Hazel Brown, a Holistic Growth Coach and Healthcare Leader, as we create a safe space for real conversations. Together we’ll explore the highs, lows, and aha moments that shape transformation. You’ll hear transparent stories from me and from professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders who reveal the parts of success that don’t make it to social media — the process, the setbacks, the growth.
Be prepared to be uplifted, inspired, and empowered as you become fearless in pursuit of the life you desire and deserve. This is motivation that meets you where you are — helping you create a growth mindset, move past trauma and challenges, and step boldly into your destiny.
Topics include: personal development, growth mindset, self-doubt, self-worth, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, confidence, purpose, faith, business, career growth, relationships, boundaries, and self-care.
This podcast will remind you that your journey matters, your goals are valid, and you’re capable of becoming your highest self.

97. Stop Being Your Own Chaos: Healing Self-Sabotage, Building Better Boundaries & Choosing Peace — with Dr. Crystal Ann England
What if the chaos in your life isn’t coming at you… it’s coming from you?
In this powerful episode, Hazel sits down with Dr. Crystal Ann England — licensed marriage and family therapist, artist, mom, partner, and forever learner — to get radically honest about self-awareness, self-sabotage, and what it really takes to build a life that feels like yours.
From growing up in a big, chaotic family to becoming a therapist and moving her entire life from Florida to Georgia, Dr. Crystal shares how she stopped blaming circumstances and started admitting the hard truth:
This episode is a mirror for high-achieving, heart-centered women who are tired of overthinking, over-functioning, and over-giving — and are finally ready to choose peace on purpose.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn
- “Boundaries” vs. “Parameters”
Dr. Crystal’s reframe on boundaries — moving from brick walls to gates you control, so you can protect your peace without hardening your heart. - What your relationships actually say about your self-love
Why she only wants women around her who love their husbands, love their kids, and love themselves — and what that reveals about emotional safety. - Shame, scars, and owning your story
How to stop letting your past be used against you — and why your scars qualify you to help others, not disqualify you - Letting go of timelines and pressure
What Dr. Crystal’s PhD journey taught her about trusting the process when it feels painfully slow.
This Episode Is For You If:
- You’re the strong friend, fixer, or helper who’s quietly exhausted
- You’ve restarted your life (new city, new chapter, new job) and feel a little lost
- You suspect you might be self-sabotaging your peace, relationships, or opportunities
- You’re in a season of isolation and wondering if it’s punishment or protection
- You want healthier friendships, marriage, and motherhood — without losing yourself
- You’re a faith-driven woman on a healing, self-worth, or personal growth journey
