EP 102: Breaking Past Trauma with Crystal Grant

We all have traumas at some point in our lives. However, some of us can overcome them easily while others don’t. How can breaking past trauma help us?

In this episode, we would like to introduce you to our guest Crystal Grant. Crystal is a CRNA, author, and entrepreneur. She’s written over 4 books, has her own YT channel, and is the owner of Independent Dreams Inc., all while accelerating a career as a CRNA.

Here’s what we asked Crystal:

  1. Where are you from? How did you end up where you are today? 
  2. You’ve written a book titled Acceptance Granted, where you showcase what it takes to be a CRNA, what is the process, and what does it really take to be a CRNA?
  3. One of the hardest things to do is to get into CRNA school, and it’s frustrating because you don’t have full control over what school you will attend or who will accept you. You’ve had a difficult process getting in. How did you feel? When you got those nos, what made you keep applying and keep striving to get in? I feel like most people would have quit. How do you deal with tough situations?
  4. The cost of becoming a CRNA is high; people that enter the CRNA field completely devote all their hours to school, needing to take out loans. How were you able to efficiently pay off your debt? 
  5. You’ve written many books and a series called Super CRNA. What made you write a children’s book?
  6. How do you go from RN to CRNA to author to business owner? 
  7. What is Independent Dreams inc, and what made you start it?
  8. Do you have plans for your next endeavor?
  9. What are you currently working on?
