Love Blueprints

This episode might be one of my favorites. Like all families, mine has had its challenges. My mom and I used to butt heads in a non-productive way and our relationship was beyond tense. We each had our own patterns at play and at times it felt like it would never change. Today we share an episode about our histories, our story, and some of the wisdom that’s been gained through recreating our relationship into the beautiful one it is today. Enjoy and please know that YOU have the power to make a difference , only always.

This conversation was one where we dive into some of what we’ve learned together and reflected on what’s made us successful in our relationship.

Christina explores the concept of “body image” and how it really highlights the difference between what her body looks like and how she thinks about it.
