“For the woman who knows she’s more than…”
You’ve played the roles, followed the rules, and lived up to expectations—but what happens when you realize you’re more than the life you’ve been given? The Unwritten Woman is an intimate space for deep conversations about reinvention, identity, and self-discovery.
Hosted by Crystan Cumberbatch (author of Unlocking Authenticity: a Journey from people pleasing to empowerment), this podcast is for the woman who is breaking free from people-pleasing, unlearning old narratives, and reclaiming her power—softly, boldly, and unapologetically.
Through soulful storytelling, raw reflections, and candid conversations, we’ll explore what it means to shed expectations, embrace self-worth, and rewrite your life on your own terms.
✨ Expect deep truths, whispered revelations, and permission to become who you were always meant to be. Because your story isn’t over yet—it’s still unwritten.

Trauma In Disguise
Baby girl, have you ever reacted to a situation and later thought, “Why did I do that?”
In this episode of The Unwritten Woman, we’re unpacking the four trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn.
Crystan breaks down what each response looks like in real life — not just in theory. Maybe you shut down during conflict. Maybe you feel the need to please everyone to avoid tension. Or maybe you find yourself running from hard conversations entirely.
Understanding your trauma response is the first step in healing it. You are not broken. You are protecting yourself the only way you know how. But now, we get to choose something new.
Disclaimer: I’m not a licensed therapist. I’m a woman still doing the work, still healing, and sharing my story as I go. Your story matters too.
