Piece By Piece
By Krystal with a K
I started Piece By Piece as my way of showing up. I am just your classic Visionary with the added twist of living in the Myositis club. I am an advocate for proactive health. For too long I believed chronic illness, injury, disaster, grief, or any alignment made me less so I remained silent. I am here to share my story over time and more than anything I want to share stories of others. Laugh, cry, educate, advocate, heal, and much more. When we use our voices fearlessly we give those around courage … or gas who really knows. Join me. Be the change you want to see in the World.

Some Real Talk where Healthcare meets Health & Fitness featuring Jordan Syatt
Well, this is my biggest fan girl episode to date.
I am a huge, HUGE fan of Jordan. We all know that I enjoy discussions most with people that are simply authentically themselves. He walks the line beautifully of teaching the importance of health, fitness, and overall wellness without being a total douche nor extreme. Jordan has an incredible footprint in the health & fitness arena and education, I was beyond excited when he agreed to podcast with me. Please check out his book and the Inner Circle both which will be linked.
Let us know what you think!

The F do I know about Propagating Trees? What I am leaving behind in 2022
Welcome to my therapy episode
I learned nothing about propagating trees. I will forever need someone much nerdier than I in regards to plants to achieve this accomplished gift. This episode is me flying solo and discussing some feelings and things I hope to leave behind in 2022.
What are you leaving behind in 2022? We can discuss what the theme for 2023 is later, but what are you actively choosing to leave behind in 22? I am going to drop some things, people, perspectives, and goals. I am going to shift. If you aren’t shifting you aren’t growing.
Letting every situation be what it is rather than what I think it should be
Not everyone matches my level of effort, and how do I know they don’t? What if that is their best and it just doesn't impress me? I am hard to impress, after all.

First Pitch Campaign - Myositis Awareness - Interview with V Rob!
Hopefully through my brief 1x1 you understand the magnitude of such a moment for me. The Universe talks to us if we are willing to listen. As a child that grew up with Dermatomyositis I am now an adult comfortable with stepping out what I believed to be a shadow thanks to people like V. Truly, if you share your story out loud, if you provide advocacy, and you're doing your part to move the needle ever so slightly - THANK YOU!
We have to be the change we want to see in the World.
