Christine runs a beer and wine tour company and she is so full of life, passionate and authentic we had to have her on our podcast. This conversation was amazing, and Christine shares her story from working in a high paying corporate job doing what she thought she “should” be doing, to connecting into her heart, taking a leap and becoming an entrepreneur and having fun doing it.

I loved this conversation so much and Christine just has a way of talking that is engaging and open hearted. A big takeaway from this conversation was about connecting to your heart, and trusting your instincts. She also says you need to have a strong belief in yourself, and don’t look for others to believe in your vision, and the importance of surrounding yourself with positive people who are going to lift you up.

Its so crucial in life to focus on what you want (rather than what you don’t want) and to tap into your inner child who is full of joy and wonder. Christine wants us to stop taking life so seriously! Her dare is for you to smile at everyone today.
