XTRA: Life & Style Unscripted

It’s common to have a love-hate relationship with social media, but most of us can agree that we enjoy the old memory photos. It often brings us some joy when we see what we were doing at that time, and it serves as a reminder for how far we’ve come since then. Today on the show, Christina reflects on her first TEDx interview, which occurred one year ago from the day this episode was recorded. She talks through the ups and downs of her nine month journey, and encourages us to press on with whatever it is that we’re currently doing in our lives. There is no failure in trying and the unknown gifts that come to us throughout the process will always keep coming—but only if we let them. So, stay the course, my loves.

• Reflecting on Christina’s first TedX interview
• Why there’s no failure in trying—only not trying

When you dream up your birthday party dinner table, who’s sitting with you? Why are they there? Are they there because you truly want them to be, or for some other reason? In today’s episode, Christina sheds light on the significance of who we choose to surround ourselves with each day–not just at our birthday party dinner table. It’s important that we check in with ourselves, and ensure that those in our inner circle are different from us, that we lift one another up and that spending time with them is ultimately adding value to our lives. If not, it may be time to say goodbye. 

In this episode of XTRA:

• The story of Christina’s most impressionable birthday dinner
• Who would you like to be at your birthday party dinner table?
• Are those you invite into your life truly worthy of being there?

Have you stopped to think about how the lives of others are impacting you throughout your day? Are you often putting others down, for no good reason? The truth is that we all can get into negative thought cycles from time to time–this is a sign that we’re not well ourselves. If we notice that we are treating ourselves poorly in response to what someone else does or doesn’t do, we need to stop the train and flip the script. When we’re at our best, walking through life and feeling other experiences doesn’t take away from our own.

In this episode of XTRA:

• How much we’re all impacted by what happens to others
• Why reacting negatively to others’ success is often a sign that we’re not well ourselves
• Why you should look within when you notice someone else’s life is making you question your own
• A reminder to check in with yourself, and see which people or things lift you up and which bring you down
