In the very first episode of Faith Over Iced Coffee, host Cristina Michele shares the heart behind the podcast and why faith must come first — even in the busiest, fullest seasons of life.

As a full-time working mom, Cristina reflects on the tension between career, motherhood, ambition, and faith, and why following Christ isn’t something reserved for quiet moments or slower seasons. Faith isn’t added to life once everything is in order — it’s what anchors us while we’re living it.

This episode is an honest conversation about prioritizing faith over productivity, trusting God in real life, and choosing purpose over perfection.

If you’re navigating work, family, responsibility, and faith all at once — this space is for you.
