a girl and her pen

Four years ago, I started this blog with big ideas and a heart full of thoughts I wasn’t sure how to share. I knew I wanted to write about self-help, mental health, and personal growth, but somewhere along the way, I got lost in the how. I posted different things—things that brought you here (which I’m so grateful for), but they also left me feeling like I wasn’t really here. Like I was hiding.

Maybe that’s why I created Fancya Cuppa—a name to keep a little distance, to make it feel less personal, less scary. But if I’m honest, I think I was afraid. Afraid of telling my story. Afraid of being seen. Afraid of admitting that I didn’t always have the answers. And that fear kept me from posting consistently, from fully stepping into this space I created.

But this year, I want to change that. I want to show up as me—Crystal. No alias, no hiding, just a girl writing her way through life, hoping that in doing so, someone else might feel a little less alone. That’s why I renamed my blog INN HER ELEMENT—because the name itself holds everything I want this space to be.

It has a triple meaning—
🏡 “Inn” as in a place of comfort, a little corner of the internet where you can feel safe, seen, and understood.
💛 “Inn Her” sounds like inner—a space for raw, genuine emotions, for the real and unfiltered.
✨ “In Her Element” as the expression—because I want this to be a place where I feel fully me, and maybe, where you can feel fully you, too.

So, welcome to this new chapter. It’s a little messy, a little raw, but it’s real. And if you’re still here, I hope we can walk this journey together—me figuring myself out, you figuring yourself out, both of us realizing we were never really alone in it.

Thank you for being here. It means more than you know. ❤️

with love,
Crystal
