Interview with Crystal Andrus

“Whenever you lack the courage to be honest in your life, you rob yourself of your own dignity, success, and integrity. You unconsciously disempower yourself,” says Crystal Andrus, author of Simply…EMPOWERED! (Hay House April 2010), and a personal coach to people from all walks of life who are ready and willing to become the heroes of their own lives. “What would courage have you do?” Crystal Andrus is a worldwide leader in the field of self-discovery and personal transformation. From a tough beginning—sexual abuse, moving out at 15, battling health scares, huge weight gain, a difficult divorce, and near bankruptcy before becoming a single mother of two daughters—she has risen to become a best-selling author, motivational speaker, women’s advocate, nutritionist, and the weight-loss expert on the international hit TV show X-Weighted, seen in more than 15 countries. Her first book, Simply . . . Woman! was a blockbuster in 2006, coming in at #14 as the Reader’s Choice at Chapters, Indigo, and Coles across Canada. Touring with The Power Within and I Can Do It® Hay House events has allowed Crystal to share the stage with some of today’s most influential people, including Sir Richard Branson, Dr. Phil, Louise Hay, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Suze Orman, Dr. Christiane Northrup, and many others. In March 2010, she was presented with the Canadian Amazing Women’s Spirit Award in lieu of International Woman’s Day.
