Carol: What would someone going through your “Living Essentially Strong” process or working with you experience?
Christina: My goal for someone involved with me and Living Essentially Strong would be for them to experience a healthier lifestyle and a deeper, more compassionate level of self-care. The focus is on helping women to integrate a more intentional health and wellness lifestyle, breaking self-limiting thoughts and beliefs, and implementing nurturing self-care practices for themselves and their family. The goal is to educate and empower women to create an abundant life they love.
As a Regional Certified “Joy Coach,” I am excited to share a faith-based program that inspires women to become the best version of themselves by awakening the brilliant sprit within and empowering them to live a life that is focused on personal development in all areas of their life – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson states, “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”
Carol: What would you say your special gift is?
Christina: As a result of a challenging and, at times, traumatic life, my special gift is the gift of empathy. I am a good listener and a compassionate encourager. My desire is to educate, empower, and encourage other women with the wisdom I have attained by continuously getting back up and moving forward with positive determination and an optimistic mindfulness. My gifts have been further strengthened by my unwavering faith in God and trusting in Him to provide the opportunities for me to lead other women to Him. My desire is to be a Light of love to women by sharing my knowledge, spirituality and friendship. Many women are like me and have felt a sense of hopelessness and have needed a new direction to follow to restore a joy in life that has been absent.
Carol: Delving even a bit more specifically into Joy Coaching®, what inspired you to become a part of the Joy Coaching® America program?
