Christina came to us as a new mom, struggling with postpartum depression and anxiety, feeling completely lost. Now, after three years of working with Alex, she has completely reprioritized her life, and she and her entire family are thriving.
If you're a parent who is constantly prioritizing everyone else's life and putting yourself on the back burner, listen in as we completely flip the script on everything you've ever thought about needing perfect conditions to transform your life.
Christina's story proves that transformation doesn't require a perfect setup—it requires the courage to start exactly where you are.
