Meet Your Host

Crystal Harkless is a social entrepreneur, event strategist, and purpose-driven leader with over 10 years of experience supporting CEOs, organizations, and large-scale initiatives.

Her work has always centered around creating meaningful experiences—but this vision is personal.

After recognizing the gap between medical information and emotional and spiritual support for women navigating motherhood, Crystal created The Maternal Equity Experience to bring both into one space.

Her heart is to ensure women feel informed, supported, and empowered—without having to choose between faith and understanding.
