This one’s for every stepparent, stepkid, and parent just trying to make it work.

Blending a family sounds beautiful in theory, but in real life? It’s complicated, messy, and deeply emotional. In this raw and honest episode, Christina opens up about her own journey navigating co-parenting with a toxic ex, raising teens through manipulation and heartache, and standing by a husband who chose to love her children, even when they didn’t love him back.

She dives into what it’s really like to be the parent stuck in the middle, why bonus families require grace on all sides, and how to protect your peace when love feels one-sided. From broken relationships to hard boundaries, hard choices, and unexpected healing—this episode is for every warrior trying to make it work in a blended home.

Because blended doesn’t mean broken—and sometimes, the ones who stay are the ones who heal the most.

In this special holiday edition, Christina explores what real freedom looks like—not just the kind we celebrate on the 4th of July, but the kind you fight for as a survivor.

She shares a deeply personal story from a recent camping trip with her daughter, her decision to move closer to her kids to protect their peace, and how choosing not to react is sometimes the most powerful act of independence.

She opens up about her journey with faith, the damage caused by spiritual hypocrisy, and how her son has inspired her to rebuild her relationship with God.

Because freedom isn’t always loud.
Sometimes, it’s quiet.
Sometimes, it’s a move.
Sometimes, it’s trusting that God is working behind the scenes—even when the road feels unfair.

The Power of the People Who Hold You Up
Life doesn’t always go according to plan—and neither does podcasting! This episode was supposed to drop last week, but between internet issues, construction noise, and a quick escape to the mountains with my Dragonboat team, it got delayed. But trust me, this one was worth the wait.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the importance of the people who lift us up when we feel like falling. The ones who don’t always get the credit, but who show up, support us, and give us strength in the moments we need it most.
And spoiler alert—my cousin Amie is one of those people for me. She doesn’t even know I’m talking about her in this episode… yet. 😏

This one’s for the support systems, the quiet warriors, and the unshakable bonds that carry us through.
