The Great Cycle Challenge Series

Kristen Plotner has an amazing story as a cancer survivor pouring her energy into raising money for children's cancer research and hopefully putting an end to this all together. She's riding hard this June with her husband at her side and her fur family back home cheering her on!

The beauty of this story is how authentically she shares the depth of who she is - her vibrant personality, her passions, her love and her determination to live from a place of joy and hope.

This one - it gave me goosebumps even the second time around.

I'm not sure if it's because she was my first or because she's become a soulmate kind of friend to me since we recorded this episode back in the summer of 2016, but I know this: I love her and I love her story.

A trip to the Isle of Man is still on my short bucket list (there's a short one and a really, really, really long one). I want to see the places she describes first hand and walk the forest with her while she sings.

In this episode, Christine talks about how she knew singing was her calling from an early age and that has never changed. Knowing her now, the way I do, her voice and her music are her gifts to the world. Her spirit is lit from within and whether you feel it through a song on Spotify, a performance on stage or sitting with her having a conversation, it is UNDENIABLE.

Be sure to follow Christine and if you're ever where she's performing...GO!!! And bring me!!! Please?!
