In this episode of "Design the Life You Love" host Lynz welcomes Christina Summers from Breath of Renewal. Christina shares her transformative journey from surviving a life-threatening accident and an abusive marriage to thriving through breathwork and somatic healing. She explains how integrating breathwork into her life not only helped her navigate personal challenges but also improved her professional role as an accountant. The conversation delves into the power of breathwork, the impact of childhood traumas, money stories, and the importance of addressing emotional pain to achieve genuine healing and personal growth. Lynz and Christina highlight the significance of being present, managing stress, and the ripple effect of individual healing on family and community. Tune in to learn practical tools for self-regulation and the profound benefits of integrating mind and body for a balanced life.

Christina Sommers is not here to play small. After walking out of an abusive relationship and surviving a head-on collision, she chose to rise higher, freer, and more powerful than ever before — and now she helps other women do the same.

As a breathwork facilitator, somatic coach, and money mentor, Christina guides women to stop outsourcing their power and reclaim safety in both their bodies and their bank accounts. Her work blends trauma-informed healing with unapologetic money clarity, because freedom isn’t just spiritual — it’s financial.

Christina knows the shame and nervous system spirals that can come from looking at money — and she also knows the liberation of breathing through it, regulating, and realizing you’re in control. Through her coaching, group programs, and her podcast Loving Your Life Again, Christina invites women to release old stories, dismantle fear, and live with full-body sovereignty.

Whether she’s talking about nervous system regulation, money healing, or breaking free from toxic patterns, Christina brings a mix of lived experience, professional expertise, and magnetic energy that inspires audiences to stop hiding and start thriving.
