We recently had the chance to connect with Crystal DeWindt and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Crystal, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: When was the last time you felt true joy?
Lately, I’ve been experiencing what I can only describe as the joy of the Lord, not because of a single moment or achievement, but because of the woman I am today and the woman I am still becoming. There’s a deep joy in knowing that God is shaping me daily, and that process itself has become a source of true joy.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Crystal DeWindt, and I wear a few different hats that all center around one purpose, helping people encounter God, discover who they are, and walk boldly in that identity. I’m the founder of Girl, Let Me Tell You…, a Christian women’s network where we do girl talk God’s way, providing women with a safe place to find sisterhood, grow spiritually, and unlock their full potential. Alongside that, I serve as a preacher and coach, equipping others to grow spiritually while navigating everyday life with clarity and confidence.
What makes my work unique is that it’s not just about inspiration, it’s about transformation. I’m passionate about creating community and resources that meet women right where they are, while also challenging them to grow into the fullness of who God designed them to be. Right now, I’m building out courses, content, and events through my network to help women not only find freedom but also sustain it, so they can live purpose-driven lives
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a kid, I didn’t think I was enough, not pretty enough, smart enough, or good enough. And honestly, it wasn’t because of what anyone did to me, but because I was busy comparing myself to the world’s idea of what ‘enough’ looked like. Chiiillleee, let me tell you, that is definitely not the case anymore!
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
You know, I really stopped hiding my pain the moment I realized that keeping quiet wasn’t protecting me, it was actually holding me back. I went through a healing process that, let me be honest, wasn’t always pretty. There were days I felt messy, frustrated, even broken. But the crazy thing? The end result is beautiful.
For the longest time, I let my pain feel like a weapon aimed at me, but I finally figured out that it’s not my pain that drives me, it’s the purpose God has woven right through it. Once I learned how to process my pain and pull purpose out of it, my scars stopped being shameful and started becoming testimonies. Now, my story isn’t about what I went through; it’s about how I use it to lift others up and show them their own strength.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, the public version of me is the real me! That wasn’t always the case, I used to be so afraid of rejection that I’d show people a version of myself I thought they wanted, wild, right? Lol. But now, I truly love who I am, and I love sharing that with others, even if they decide I’m not their cup of tea. Of course, I believe in access levels and there are dimensions of me the public will never see but the parts they do get to see, yep it’s 100% authentic.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
Yes, I truly believe I’m doing what I was born to do. I feel like I’ve stepped into the realm of purpose, not just doing the work, but doing it the authentic way I was created to do it. And honestly? I’m just scratching the surface, there’s so much more ahead, and I’m excited to keep walking in it fully.
