In this powerful episode of Let’s Do It Afraid, Crystal Rodriguez opens up about her incredible journey from being a teenage mom in an abusive relationship to reclaiming her happiness and building a life of strength and empowerment.

Crystal shares the struggles of being controlled, losing herself, and the cultural pressure to "stay and make it work." She reveals the breaking point that led her to leave, the challenges of starting over, and how therapy, support, and a fitness journey helped her rediscover her worth.

A special shoutout to COTS, the organization in Sonoma County that helped Crystal find housing and resources to secure an apartment for herself and her kids. Their support was instrumental in helping her build a new life. Learn more about their work and how they help families at https://cots.org/.
