KRYSTALLIFE

“I have been wanting to do a Podcast for at least 4 years,” Sanchez explained, of her new podcast KrystalLife. “I even bought the equipment in 2019 to help motivate me to do it! However, I was in a different spot in my life and full of self-doubt. I didn’t feel like I had anything interesting to say or that anyone would even listen to it.” Sanchez gained the courage to start her podcast after appearing as a guest on someone else’s. “I had such a great time,” Sanchez recalled. “I didn’t know what I would talk about past my first episode, but this summer I just opened Garage Band, plugged in my USB microphone into my computer and just started talking about issues my friends were dealing with at work and answering them,” Sanchez explained.

Creating a podcast isn’t for the meek–it’s a labor of love. A 20-minute episode takes about an hour to record, after which the raw audio must be edited before being uploaded. “Statistics are that 95% of podcasts don’t make it past 5 episodes, which sounds unbelievable until it’s you creating the content.

I get it. It’s hard,” Sanchez said. “I am proud that I was consistent for 12 weeks. I really just got up and did this without thinking too much about a plan, which was on purpose because that’s what held me back for four years–I didn’t have every detail nailed down so I told myself I wasn’t ready. Finally I just did it and went along the ride, Sanchez said. Sanchez’s podcast is relatable, discussing topics such as uncomfortable coworkers, sinus cavities, and Bojack Horseman.

Krystal is taking a break from podcasting at the moment, but her success with the podcast has motivated her to pursue other passion projects as well. She’s carried the momentum to other channels that allow her to express her creativity. “I’m having so much fun being back in shows at Beaumont Community Players, making silly Tik Tok videos, and I’m playing around with starting a YouTube channel with a mixture of singing videos, reviews, and momlife,” Sanchez said.
