What people are saying...
“The Wisdom of You was a true gift, and it came to me at a time when I needed it most. Christine’s writing is genuine, insightful and honest. I can’t wait to pass along this gift to the people I love. An absolute must-read.” - Nicole Sheldon, Reporter at RBJ/BridgeTower Media and Blogger “I absolutely love this book. I found Christine’s voice refreshing and filled with spiritual ideas and principles mixed with stories of her own personal journey. It’s like sitting down with a dear friend and having a heartfelt conversation where she shares words of wisdom with me. I loved this book.” - Tracy Blair Owner, Awakened Soul Yoga and Poet "Christine takes you on her journey, presenting issues that are not uncommon in this day and age. I loved how she wove her own story around the helpful practices that moved her forward. She takes the mystery out of things like meditation and mindfulness, practices I was hesitant to try, and makes them very accessible for anyone. This is a book I will refer to often." - Kathy M. |

How it all began...
By the time I hit my 50th birthday my life was not where I wanted or expected it to be. I was in a toxic marriage and career burnout that left me feeling depressed, overwhelmed and anxious. When I finally woke up to the pain and despair, I realized I had abandoned myself. The deep pain and sadness made me realize it was time to find out who I was and what I wanted to do with this second chapter of my life before it was too late.
I truly believe that everything we do and everyone that we meet are placed on our path for a purpose. It’s our job to figure out what it means, how we respond to it and what we do with it. Whether you're questioning what to do with your career, struggling with a life crisis, hungry to feel more fulfilled and alive or just tired of going through the daily motions, being distracted and disconnected from yourself, it is my hope that my story will help guide you down your own path of self-discovery.
The Wisdom of You is my journey to finding my true power, passion and purpose. I will share with you the tools and techniques I began using that had a huge effect on me making a big shift in my life. I started with a simple five-minute meditation challenge that grew into a solid practice I now look forward to every day. I committed to finding gratitude in even the smallest of life’s tasks. This gave me an opportunity to slow down and cultivate an attitude of gratitude and that made me feel much happier. My new-found mindfulness practice that helped me feel more balanced and relieved a lot of my anxiety around getting everything done immediately and making sure it was perfect – a goal almost unachievable in most circumstances. I will share with you some thought-provoking questions and easy 30-day challenges I use as a coach and a trauma survivor that you can begin using immediately to alleviate stress, help you improve your relationships and ultimately take control of your life.
My journey wasn't easy, there were many bumps along the way, but the universal gifts have brought me to a place of deep trust and faith that I am a Soulful Warrior rising strong. You have this power inside of you too and it’s my goal to guide you along your unique path to create a more authentic and meaningful life filled with purpose. I'm excited and honored to share my teachings so you can begin tapping into your inner wisdom, face life’s challenges with grace, and rise strong as a Soulful Warrior.
