What does "Women's Empowerment" mean to you?
Emotional Age Expert and Founder of the S.W.A.T. Institute, Crystal Andrus Morissette is Propelling Women Forward with New Understandings of Womanhood, Empowerment, and Self
Crystal Andrus Morissette is an international best-selling author, Emotional Age and Communication expert, and women's advocate who is teaching women all over the globe to take charge of their stories, love ALL their parts and redefine themselves as whole, healthy, and empowered. She is the author of several books, including “The Emotional Edge: Discover Your Inner Age, Ignite Your Hidden Strengths and Reroute Misdirected Fear to Live Your Fullest.”
Crystal is the founder of the S.W.A.T. Institute (Simply Woman Accredited Trainer), an empowerment coach certification exclusively for women in over 45 countries. Crystal and the S.W.A.T. Institute are #1 on Google worldwide for 'women's empowerment' and 'empowerment coaching'.
Through her writing, course work, workshops, and speaking engagements, Crystal helps women identify which Emotional Age they are operating from:
* Mother/Parent = Safety, selflessness, protective, nurturing.
* Daughter/Child = Coy, cute, dramatic, full of life, somewhat selfish.
* Woman/Adult = "Do we even have an archetype for the word 'woman'?" asks Crystal. She helps women identify and tap into their healthy, whole, and empowered Woman Energy.
"Emotional Age, different than chronological or biological age, plays a crucial part in your career, love life, friendships, finances, and overall happiness," says Crystal. "It determines how you are showing up in the world, and the mindset of every single decision you make each and every day."
Though there are many different emotional sub-archetypes in Crystal's work such as the Martyr, the Chubby Bubby, the Perfectionist, and the Charmer, Crystal has broken them into three core Emotional Age Archetypes: the Child, the Parent, and the Adult. And chronological age has little to do with how we are actually showing up in our lives, she asserts.
Crystal has made it her mission through her best-selling books and her courses at The S.W.A.T. Institute to help women identify which archetype they are showing up in, to integrate them into the wholeness of who they are, and become their most empowered and best selves.
She also created the Empowerment Spectrum, a brilliant tool to help people understand their communication style, their Emotional Age, and which dominant emotional archetype they embody most often.
