Christine Waldrop has always been known for creating beauty — through blooms, thoughtful gifts, and the quiet strength behind Blluum. In this episode, she shares how she stepped into entrepreneurship later in life, what it’s taken to grow two sides of a business, and how her faith continues to guide every decision she makes.
During this conversation, she also opens up about something even more personal — a hard, raw season she’s walking through right now. It’s brave, emotional, and a reminder that some of the most beautiful things are built in the midst of battle.
This is a story about resilience, strength, and the fierce hope that comes from choosing to fight — to advocate for yourself, to protect your peace, and to believe in healing even when life feels out of control.
