SPEAKING STYLE

Christina speaks with heart, clarity, and a calm confidence that draws people in. She’s known for bridging the gap between personal truth and professional expertise—and for making people feel seen while challenging them to think deeper.

Her talks blend powerful storytelling with real strategy, creating space for growth, reflection, and meaningful change—especially around topics that impact women, mental health, and leadership.​​

My coaching isn’t about “doing more”—it’s about doing what matters most with more clarity, more calm, and way more support.

Whether she’s sharing about the realities of postpartum mental health or the tension of being Boldly Both, Christina speaks from a place of compassion, purpose, and lived wisdom.

Testimonials

Working with Christina helped me finally feel in control of my business again. She got what I was carrying—not just the numbers, but the emotional load too 

I stopped shrinking. I started leading. And I remembered that I get to build this on my terms

I am a therapist and business owner. I'm also a mother. This book is a living example and reminder of the necessity of balance. Of not foregoing or short-changing ourselves for one dream or the other
