• The Hum of Possibility. Do You Hear It?

    Have you ever wanted something but thought that it could never be possible? Do you ever second-guess yourself and feel like you can't become who you want to be? While most of us doubt the power of possibility, Christina wants to prove otherwise. In this episode, Christina dives into the realm of possibility and its power if we believe and accept it. Most of us have closed the door to possibilities because someone told us it's inaccessible, but in reality, it is possible. No one else can dictate to you who you get to become. If you want something bad enough and accept this power of possibility, it can open the doors to self-discovery. From this place, we can become whoever we want to be.


     

    In this episode of XTRA: 

    • Changing your mindset to live in a state of possibility
    • Adapting the power of possibility in your life
    • The journey of who you get to become if you believe and accept that anything is possible

  • Is Being Grateful Enough? Where Gratitude & Unsatisfaction Collide

    In this episode, Christina is reframing gratitude and talks about how it is when being grateful isn't enough for us to be satisfied with how we live our lives. Although we're thankful for the family, friends, and things around us that make us whole, there is that reality that there is a certain part of your life solely for you. That part of you that yearns to be the best that you can be for yourself and that makes you want to do more and evolve as you take on this path that we call life.

     

    In this episode of XTRA: 

    • Being grateful but still yearning for something more
    • Living life XTRA and being the best version of yourself
    • Having the curiosity to try on new things and evolve
