Life has a way of getting our attention, doesn’t it? Whether it’s through something physical, like a food allergy, or something deeper, like an emotional struggle, our body, soul, and spirit are always communicating. It’s amazing how interconnected we are, and that’s where real healing begins—when we stop to listen and approach life holistically.
In this episode, I had the joy of sitting down with my dear friend Andria Booles, whose heart for holistic healing truly shines. We talked about how what happens in one area of life often impacts the others, and how understanding this connection can transform the way we care for ourselves. Andria’s insight and compassion are so inspiring—I know you’ll feel it too.
If something in our conversation sparked a desire to go deeper, I want you to know you’re not alone. At Crawford Clinics, we’re here to help you process, heal, and grow at your own pace. Whether it’s with Andria or another member of our team, we’d be honored to come alongside you. You can visit us at CrawfordClinics.com or text us at 817-601-5540—whatever feels easiest for you.

Are you tired of feeling like you're always stuck in the same relationship pattern? It can be frustrating when you’ve done the self-work, made those vision boards, and still find yourself attracting the same types of people! In this week’s episode, I’m sitting down with my friend and brilliant colleague, Andria Booles, a therapist at Crawford Clinics. 😉
We’re diving into why we keep attracting the same kind of relationships, despite all our good intentions and mindset shifts. Andria brings her expertise in psychosomatic therapy, which looks at how our mind and body are deeply connected, helping us better understand the energy we give off and how it impacts our relationships.
We explore topics like balancing masculine and feminine energy (and no, this isn’t about gender roles!), how past experiences shape what we bring into relationships, and how to break the cycle of repeating unhealthy patterns. Andria’s got some incredible insights on how creating safety within ourselves is the key to drawing in deeper, more fulfilling connections with others.
Whether you're single, dating, or married, you’ll find something in this episode to help you align with the relationships you really want.
Join us for a fun, deep, and enlightening conversation—can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Welcome to the latest episode of Unlock U! I'm Dr. Shannan Crawford, and today we're diving into a topic that's close to my heart. Have you ever felt like something just wasn't right with your body, only to be reassured by doctors that everything is "normal"? It can be so disheartening and confusing, especially when you're dealing with persistent issues like brain fog, chronic fatigue, or unexplained aches and pains.
In this episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Crystal Hoskins, an integrative health practitioner with a fascinating background in quantum biology and blood chemistry. Crystal has walked a similar path to many of us, facing mysterious symptoms and feeling lost in the world of conventional medicine. She shares her personal journey of discovering alternative medicine and finding the missing pieces to her health puzzle.
Our conversation is all about those often-overlooked factors that can make a world of difference in how we feel. Crystal and I talk openly about the frustration of not having clear answers and the hope that comes from exploring new perspectives. We delve into practical insights and holistic approaches that can help you understand and address the root causes of your symptoms.
This episode is not just an interview; it's a heartfelt exchange between two people passionate about finding true wellness. Whether you're struggling with similar issues or are simply curious about alternative paths to health, I believe you'll find comfort and encouragement in Crystal's story. So, grab a cozy drink, sit back, and join us for a warm and enlightening conversation. Let's unlock a deeper understanding of our health together!
