CRYSTAL HAITSMA THE PARENTING COACH

In this week’s episode of the Redefine Business Podcast, Brittni welcomes Crystal Haitsma, a multi-faceted entrepreneur known for her unique approach to business and parenting. Crystal’s journey from a stay-at-home mom to a renowned parenting coach is a testament to the power of intuitive business practices and the importance of aligning professional goals with personal values.

CRYSTAL’S JOURNEY INTO BUSINESS

Crystal’s entry into the business world was unconventional. Initially, she was a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom with no business aspirations. However, her quest for a master’s program in therapy led her to discover life coaching. This unexpected shift ignited her passion for coaching and subsequently, the inception of her business. Crystal plunged into learning, consuming vast amounts of entrepreneurial content, and quickly transitioned from a novice to a proficient coach.

THE SHIFT TO PARENTING COACHING

While Crystal began coaching broadly on motherhood and some business topics, she felt a persistent pull towards focusing on parenting. Her own experiences with parenting challenges, particularly with neurodiverse children, fueled this passion. Over time, as she resolved many of her parenting struggles and developed a more profound connection with her children, she embraced parenting coaching wholeheartedly. Crystal’s approach emphasizes connection and attachment, advocating for shame-free parenting over traditional coercive methods.

BUILDING A BUSINESS ON INTUITION

Crystal’s business philosophy revolves around intuitive business building, where decisions are guided by inner knowing rather than external pressures. This approach allowed her to diversify her services, offering women’s retreats, hypnotherapy, and various coaching services. For Crystal, the key to fulfillment in business lies in pursuing what feels right and energizing, rather than adhering to conventional business norms.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSONAL ALIGNMENT

Throughout the episode, both Brittni and Crystal stress the importance of aligning business goals with personal values. Crystal shares her decision to work fewer hours to prioritize homeschooling and spending quality time with her children. This conscious choice reflects her belief that success isn’t solely defined by financial gain but by achieving a balanced and fulfilling life.

TRUSTING YOURSELF IN BUSINESS

Crystal and Brittni discuss the common entrepreneurial pitfall of following others’ paths instead of trusting one’s intuition. Crystal’s success story underscores the value of self-trust and the courage to deviate from traditional business advice. She encourages entrepreneurs to listen to their inner voice, prioritize their well-being, and take aligned actions that resonate with their true desires.

A LIFE OF ADVENTURE AND BALANCE

Crystal’s life is a blend of adventure and balance. She shares her experience of traveling the world with her family for a school year, a long-held dream that she realized by making deliberate choices about her business priorities. This adventure, although it resulted in lower income, was immensely rewarding and reinforced her belief in a life well-lived over a life merely well-paid.

REDEFINING SUCCESS

Crystal Haitsma’s story is a powerful reminder that success in business and life is deeply personal and unique to each individual. Her emphasis on intuitive decision-making, personal alignment, and the courage to pursue what truly matters offers invaluable lessons for entrepreneurs seeking a fulfilling and balanced life. This engaging interview provides a refreshing perspective on redefining business success beyond conventional metrics.
