What if sobriety isn’t another self-improvement project? Krysty invites us to stop obsessing over becoming “better” and start creating a life that feels bigger, more curious and more alive—with an art journal practice designed to help uncover what’s asking for more room.

In this installment of Unpolished, Christy explores the quiet, accumulated “micro-shames” that teach women to hide the parts of themselves labeled too loud, too messy, too fierce, too soft, too much, or not enough. Through the lens of authenticity, sobriety, and creative practice, she invites readers to begin reclaiming the pieces of themselves they were taught to minimize.
