SJP #003 : Chrystal Hurst : Encouragement for the Weary Mom! A podcast you don't want to miss!

Welcome to the Simply Joyful Podcast Episode #003 with Chrystal Hurst Show Notes: KristiClover.com/003 Have you ever met someone and thought, "Wow! Did she get hit with the talent stick!" Ha! That is pretty much what ran through my head as I sat in the audience listening to Chrystal for the first time last year at a Sally Clarkson event. I hadn't heard of Chrystal or her podcast before that weekend. We ended up connecting over conversations of podcasting and Periscope. Funny how when you find someone who speaks your same crazy "tech" language you become instant friends. Well, I'm all too familiar with Chrystal and her ministry now! I have listened to numerous podcasts, watched videos of her speaking, and read her articles on her blog. She is an incredibly talented and gifted orator just like her dad...well, like everyone in her family. That saying the "apple doesn't fall far from the tree" is very true for her! When I listen to Chrystal's podcast I'm completely drawn in. You feel like you are practically sitting across the table from her enjoying a nice cup of coffee. I can't wait for you to glean from her in this podcast! You are about to see exactly what I mean.   On a "Simply" & "Joyful" side note... Chrystal is going to blow your mind when you hear her talk about how she simplifies her busy life. She has some incredible systems in place to create balance for her ministry and for her family. You are going to love it!   In This Episode... In this episode, Chrystal shares about her life and her book Kingdom Women. She also gives us a little "sneak peek" into her new book She's Still There. Chrystal is so inspirational. I know you will just love this episode.   Highlights from This Show... -- Here's a link to Chrystal's book Kingdom Women. This book is so encouraging. I hope you'll check it out. There is also a Bible study for it.   -- Chrystal reminds us of the importance of asking for help. This is actually one of my "sanity saver" tips in my Sanity Savers for Moms book. -- She refers to the story of Jessica McClure. -- We talked about Chrystal's new book, She's Still There.

It sounds incredible. -- Chrystal shared about her awesome podcast on how she organizes her life and creates balance. Here's a LINK to that podcast. -- Block scheduling is Chrystal's time management hack. -- We all do things differently.
