THE PODCAST ASKING “WHAT’S GOING ON” IN A WORLD THAT FEELS INCREASINGLY CHAOTIC & UNCERTAIN:
Each episode takes you on a journey into thought-provoking topics ranging from global challenges & spirituality to health, wellness, relationships, & living consciously. This podcast dives deep into what truly matters—how to live in harmony with our natural world, build meaningful communities, & explore the profound questions at the heart of the human experience.
Join Christine as she fearlessly asks the questions we're often too afraid—or too distracted—to ask. From spiritual awakening and navigating dating + relationships in our tech-saturated world (with a sprinkle of humor!), to the urgent need to protect our planet’s precious resources, Christine engages with leading experts, conservationists, authors, coaches, poets, thought-leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, doctors, health experts, biologists, & change-makers to broaden perspectives.
THIS PODCAST IS FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO LIFE IN BLACK OR WHITE, BUT LIVE AND SEARCH WITHIN THE GREY AREA WHERE TRUTH RESIDES. IT IS FOR THOSE STEVE JOBS TALKED ABOUT WHEN HE SAID:
“HERE'S TO THE CRAZY ONES. THE MISFITS. THE REBELS. THE TROUBLEMAKERS. THE ROUND PEGS IN THE SQUARE HOLES. THE ONES WHO SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY. THEY'RE NOT FOND OF RULES. AND THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE STATUS QUO. YOU CAN QUOTE THEM, DISAGREE WITH THEM, GLORIFY OR VILIFY THEM. ABOUT THE ONLY THING YOU CAN'T DO IS IGNORE THEM. BECAUSE THEY CHANGE THINGS. THEY PUSH THE HUMAN RACE FORWARD. AND WHILE SOME MAY SEE THEM AS THE CRAZY ONES, WE SEE GENIUS. BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CRAZY ENOUGH TO THINK THEY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD, ARE THE ONES WHO DO.”
