Crystal Schwanke

Crystal Schwanke’s mind never stops whirring, hopping from one interest or passion to the next, always curious and always in pursuit of more knowledge and understanding, which is what landed her squarely (yet somewhat unexpectedly) in the world of freelance writing after she obtained her degree in psychology. Since 2004, she’s covered relationships, dating, fashion, beauty, coffee, nutrition, health, and more. In 2008, she timidly dipped her toe into the blogging world but she didn’t stay for long. However, in 2017, she started her new site, thatoldkitchentable.com, where she covers a range of topics, including relationships, faith, fitness, food, and making simple mindset shifts to help women find more joy, purpose, and peace in their everyday lives. She’s the author of The Couple’s Activity Book: 70 Interactive Games to Strengthen Your Relationship. Her flash fiction appeared in Caroline Smailes' collection, 100 RPM - 100 Stories Inspired by Music, created to benefit charity organization One in Four. She’s always had two main goals in life: write books and help people reach their potential. When she’s not writing, she’s checking out new coffee shops with her family, reading, working out, or creating art.
