Embracing peace in the wake of loss

1 hour 9 minutes

Christina reflects on her anxiety and desperate need for control along with the anticipatory grief she wrestled with for nearly 17 years, since her Mom’s first cancer diagnosis. And now, she has the gift of deeper insight and peace - something she never anticipated in the wake of losing her closest person.

Guest Bio:

Christina Fichera is one of my (Jen) BFFs and a person with an abundance of roles and titles. I am settling on these…

This girl is REAL - a deep feeler and eternal learner. She loves to break things down and mine for the most essential aspects in everything. Christina is a speaker, salesperson, athlete, customer relationship manager and curious soul.

A podcast junkie in the best way; she listens to dozens of podcasts each week and is known to stick Post-it® notes all over the place (literally and on social media) as a means of documenting and sharing what she is learning.

Christina is a loyal friend and collaborator AND the best pup-mom ever to a very spoiled dog named Teddy.
