In an emotional Instagram video, Crystal, a personal trainer and weight loss coach known as @fabulouslyfitcrystal, opened up about her unexpected career transition—from a thriving six-figure entrepreneur to an Amazon Flex driver.
While delivering packages, she shared her story of financial hardship, self-forgiveness, and perseverance, inspiring thousands of viewers who resonated with her journey.
“Going from being a six-figure business owner to an Amazon Flex driver is absolutely diabolical. But here we are,” she said at the start of her video, as she invited followers to accompany her on a day in her new reality.
Crystal explained that she had poured her entire life savings into her business, only for it to fail. The weight of that loss sent her into a spiral of depression, embarrassment, and self-blame.
“You could have never told me that I was gonna spend my entire life earnings on my business for it to flop,” she admitted.

However, rather than letting the setback define her, Crystal embarked on a journey of healing and self-discovery. She turned to faith for guidance, eventually finding gratitude in her current situation.
“I am so grateful to be an Amazon Flex driver because it is one of my streams of income in which I’m able to provide for my daughter,” she shared.
Her message was one of resilience and hope:
“It doesn’t always seem like what we think we should have. However, God always has a greater plan. So if you are in this situation or something didn’t go your way, I encourage you to keep going today.”

Crystal’s story quickly gained traction, sparking conversations about entrepreneurship, financial recovery, and the stigma around career pivots.
“This entrepreneur life is not for the faint of heart. No judgement here. Proud of you sis,” posted one person. Another remarked, “You didn’t give up on yourself and that’s what’s so inspiring! No matter what you still a BOSS! ♥️
”
Many followers praised her transparency, while others shared their own experiences of starting over after business failures.
Crystal hopes her story will empower her audience and show them that success isn’t always linear—and that setbacks can pave the way for even greater comebacks!
