Grieving a Breakup and Focusing on Yourself with Content Creator, Crystal Tan
Episode 270: Moving to a new city has its challenges, especially if that city is New York! But a new perspective is exactly what Nat’s guest this week, Crystal Tan, needed. Having recently gone through a breakup, Crystal came to NYC from the San Francisco Bay area in search of inspiration as a content creator and also for work as a data analyst at TikTok. Despite outside noise telling her she had to choose one thing or another, Crystal talks about how having two very different interests has been so beneficial for her personally and how one really compliments the other. Nat and Crystal talk about everything, from the pressure of putting out consistent content to the trap of perfectionism to the therapy that comes with doing the things you love. This week’s episode is all about the importance of embracing new opportunities and letting your individuality shine!

    I just found your channel as I’m going through a break up, it’s been 3 weeks & im feeling every emotion. But what do you do when you are the person who did the hurting, who ruined it all but you’re still in love. I feel so broken 💔

    Europe is a collection of very different countries. I think Sweden is one of the most individualistic countries where young people move out quickly and aren't very dependent on their parents and have few friends. But in southern Europe people are much more family oriented and a 3-4 generations can live in the same house and do everything together.

    Two days ago ,I made the biggest mistake and that is hurting the most precious man I've ever met...thought he didn't care much of me but then I realized I was too numb that he's only doing those things because he respected me so much that whatever I want he will do. He deserves someone better and I accept that ...I need to heal and make myself stable and I pray to God,He will guide that boy to heal as well..I love him..💖

    Budapest is the most beautiful city 😍 (I’m from Budapest born and raised here as well)I think in Budapest people are really frustrated because of the political situation in Hungary and we are struggling a lot and we need a huge change here after this 14 years… A ton of people left the country because all of this and especially a lot of young adults who worked in hospitality. There is a statistic that every second high school graduate thinking about to leave the country… so I think this is why tourists experience this and I m really sorry to hear that but we unfurtunetly know this is the situation here 😢 I have a kid and we also thinking about to leave the country all beacuse of that…

    I can totally relate to being surpirsed by the community orientedness in other countries. When i visit the philippines i am always so grateful for my extended family whom i either just met or havent seen in many years willing to really care for us on our trip. First time i was in the philippines in a long time my uncle picked me up from the airport and drove 8 hours! And then 8 hours back to my sick grandma who i was visiting. The hospitality of strangers or long lost family members/friends is an amazing beautiful thing im so grateful for. It does inspire me to act that way towards my friends in my day to day life!

    Just turned 28 and feel the exact same way- it's crazy! Used to be die-heart I must live in NYC for the rest of my life and then realized how stressful the city was. The social scene is set around food and drinking and spending money. Now I live in Arizona, have a garden, and love to go hiking all the time. My hobbies revolve around the outdoors and life is so much more peaceful and less stressful.
