A delightful exploration of the everyday lessons all around us
Christina's thoughtful exploration of topics makes complex ideas approachable and engaging. Each episode serves as a gentle reminder of the unexpected wisdom you can find almost anywhere (if you go looking).
Christina is a natural host!
Some people are just born to interview and Christina is one of them… her style is open and friendly which empowers guests to share authentically and openly and you can tell she’s a fantastic listener who CARES. Can’t wait for more!
Honest and Inspiring
Christina brings very vulnerable yet comforting discussions about so many different topics that people choose to avoid. She not only brings her personal perspective but thinks of those listening as well. Even if you do not take anything away from the podcast, Christina makes sure to challenge her listeners with a habit or task that people can try. I think it is important to have a podcast both entertaining yet informational and this is it! Truly a podcast worth listening to!
