Season 5, Episode 34:
Have you ever carried pain that wasn’t even yours—and realized it was time to put it down?
In this episode of Mature Allure, Sherri O. is joined by her dear friend and co-author, Chrystal Christian, to talk about her powerful new book This Ends With Me. Together, they open up about what it really means to break free from generational cycles, unlearn old narratives, and show up for the kind of healthy aging and healing that transforms not just us—but everyone connected to us.
Chrystal brings her full heart to this conversation as we explore motherhood, grief, forgiveness, and the work it takes to reintroduce yourself to the version of you that’s finally free. If you’re on a path of healing and ready to say, “It ends with me,” then this episode is a must-listen.
What we discuss:
What inspired This Ends With Me and why now was the time to write it.
Chrystal shares her personal journey with grief and boundaries.
The role of motherhood in healing and how it reveals what we still carry.
Chrystal and I reflect on unlearning perfectionism and finding freedom in vulnerability.
“The legacy isn’t what we pass down—it’s what we heal.”
What it means to be seen, supported, and still show up for yourself.
3 Key Takeaways:
Generational healing begins with the decision to stop performing and start listening to your own truth.
We have the power to reframe our stories—and rewrite what freedom looks like for ourselves and our families.
Authentic connection and shared healing are essential parts of moving through pain and into purpose.
