XTRA: Life & Style Unscripted

The Hum of Possibility. Do You Hear It?

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever wanted something but thought that it could never be possible? Do you ever second-guess yourself and feel like you can't become who you want to be? While most of us doubt the power of possibility, Christina wants to prove otherwise. In this episode, Christina dives into the realm of possibility and its power if we believe and accept it. Most of us have closed the door to possibilities because someone told us it's inaccessible, but in reality, it is possible. No one else can dictate to you who you get to become. If you want something bad enough and accept this power of possibility, it can open the doors to self-discovery. From this place, we can become whoever we want to be.

In this episode of XTRA:

Changing your mindset to live in a state of possibility
Adapting the power of possibility in your life
The journey of who you get to become if you believe and accept that anything is possible

Confidence is Not Arrogance. I Like Me. Do You Like You?

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Confidence starts from within and stems from knowing who you are and liking every bit of yourself. In this episode, Christina explores how it feels to be unapologetically confident and how it impacts how others perceive us. Christina urges everyone, especially women, to start carrying the idea of saying "I like me" to yourself simply because you are enough, and no one else can take that away from you but yourself.

In this episode of XTRA:

The difference between arrogance and confidence
Being confident with yourself and who you are
The impact of being unapologetically confident

Is Being Grateful Enough? Where Gratitude & Unsatisfaction Collide

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

In this episode, Christina is reframing gratitude and talks about how it is when being grateful isn't enough for us to be satisfied with how we live our lives. Although we're thankful for the family, friends, and things around us that make us whole, there is that reality that there is a certain part of your life solely for you. That part of you that yearns to be the best that you can be for yourself and that makes you want to do more and evolve as you take on this path that we call life.

In this episode of XTRA:

Being grateful but still yearning for something more
Living life XTRA and being the best version of yourself
Having the curiosity to try on new things and evolve

Tue, 14 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Every day, we find ourselves in awkward conversations or situations where we don't exactly know what to say. Sometimes we struggle to find the right words to empathize with others, or sometimes the topic can be complex, and we feel unsure of how to express our thoughts. So in this episode, Christina talks about how we carry out conversations when we're put in a spot where it's difficult for us to express what we feel, and we hesitate to say what we want and end up silent instead.

In this episode of XTRA:

What to say when you don't know what to say
Being confident to speak up in uncomfortable or inappropriate situations
Receiving kind words and compliments

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Resistance is defined as the refusal to accept or not be affected by something or someone. Now, that sounds quite rebellious and tiring, doesn't it?

One Size Does Not Fit All

Tue, 07 Feb 2023 11:00:00 +0000

We are all unique individuals with our thoughts, beliefs, shapes, and forms. One person is never exactly like the other because life was never meant to be one-size-fits-all. In this episode, Christina debunks the mindset that one size can actually fit all in every aspect of life. Likewise, she challenges us to give ourselves the encouragement and support to do things our way and surround ourselves with people that promote this way of thinking so we can become the best version of ourselves.

In this episode of XTRA:

Why one-size-fits-all cannot be applied to all aspects of life
How courage and bravery makes us better leaders
How being ourselves allows us to show up better for others

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 11:00:00 +0000

What you think is what you become, and what you feel is what you attract. That's simply the law of attraction. When you radiate confidence and positivity, you captivate the same kind of energy.

2022 Year in Review: Did I Really Leave It All On The Disco Floor?

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 11:00:00 +0000

In this episode, Christina looks back into 2022. When a year ends, it's customary to look back and reflect on the things that happened and what we did or didn't do. Unfortunately, more often than not, these "year in reviews" usually lead to a list of things we weren't able to achieve that end up disappointing us. Instead of thinking about what you didn't accomplish, focus on what you did and get inspired by them, no matter how big or small they may be.

In this episode of XTRA:

Reflecting on what we had learned in 2022 and what to take into the new year
The importance of being intentionally and purposefully present

Tue, 27 Dec 2022 11:00:00 +0000

New year, new you! As cliche as that sounds, that's usually the case whenever we welcome a new year. We welcome it with big dreams, big goals, and big plans. In this episode, Christina talks about how she approaches the new year and invites us to look at ourselves differently this time. Instead of going big, she wants us to unplug, pause, reflect, and reboot. Not just during the new year, but perhaps make it a habit to slow down, reflect on yourself, and recharge to become your best self.

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 11:00:00 +0000

How do you define happiness in your life? Do you think you are truly happy with what you believe is making you happy?

Today, Christina debunks our perception of the word "happiness" and talks about the things that are getting in our way of achieving that sense of genuine happiness that we all deserve.

Protecting Ourselves is Sometimes Robbing Ourselves

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes the fear of the outcome or the fear of taking risks causes us to miss out on the joy of genuine living. Today, Christina wants us to reflect on the areas in our life where we might be robbing ourselves because we're afraid of what might happen. Let's not get haunted by the "what if" and "what could have been." Instead, we should go for the things we truly want, the things that matter, and the things that bring us joy.

In this episode of XTRA:

How we rob ourselves of truly living
Why we deny ourselves the things we want in life

Permission to say YES when you think you should say NO

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Why do we always seek validation for things that we do for ourselves? Don't we deserve to say YES without the constant need to explain it? Christina has been training us to protect our energy and be able to say NO without explanation. But this time, in this episode, she goes on the flip side as she tips our hands toward saying YES. She shares why it's equally important to give ourselves permission to say YES to ourselves without explanation, to say YES when it feels right, and to say YES to the things that can actually be good for us.

In this episode of XTRA:

Considering saying YES to ourselves without explanation or validation
The culprits of why we don't give ourselves permission to say YES to things
The force of habit of just saying NO rather than making an intentional, deliberate decision

Asking WHY & WHY NOT: Digging Deep Inside These Mighty Words

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

In today’s episode, Christina digs deep inside the hidden beast of the little word called “why.” When we consistently ask ourselves questions like, “Why do you want that job?” or, “Why do we always do it that way?,” “why” has the potential to drive us into power and motivation. However, when we casually gloss over this powerful word, we may be robbing ourselves of progress and joy. After all, if we don’t stop and ask ourselves “why,” or “why, not” how can we be sure we are really doing things for the right reasons?

In this episode of XTRA:

Why our little ones ask so many questions and what we can learn from them
Simple ways you can begin the practice of asking “why” and “why not?”
Why we need to encourage and celebrate the art of questioning

Imagine If I Come Undone. Imagine If I Don't

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes things need to come undone in order to be stitched back together. And, more often than not, that thing is us. In today’s episode, Christina challenges us to reframe our mindset when things go awry. I mean, really, what are the consequences of coming undone? Especially when we see that things will ultimately come back together—typically in a stronger and smarter way than ever. So, maybe what we should be asking instead is: What are the consequences of not coming undone?

In this episode of XTRA:

What does it mean for someone or something to come “undone?”
Seeing that things will ultimately come back together stronger and smarter if we allow the unravel
Learning to welcome in the “undone”

Today’s thoughts are inspired by Ryder’s 18th birthday, but, whether or not you have children, the message stays the same: Don’t try to play catch up with your life. Establish your core values and live your life according to them, so that you can experience less heartache and carry more joy. If work makes your soul sing, great. If being around your kids makes you feel most fulfilled, excellent. Whatever it is, just know that you don’t need a permission slip from someone else to live your life the way you truly want to. If you’re not already living this way, today is the day to start.

In this episode of XTRA:

Prioritizing love + getting the most out of this human experience
Don’t wait: Today is the day
The importance of establishing and revising your core values

Are You a Hope Injector or a Dream Crusher?

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 10:00:00 +0000

More than ever, we need hope. Hope is the thing that makes us keep going, and even the smallest amount of hope can change the trajectory of someone’s day for the better. In today’s episode, Christina talks about the difference between “hope injectors,” those who are always supportive and encouraging, and “dream crushers,” those who tend to point out the obvious negative facts. Telling a person why something they would like to do is a bad idea, serves no one. On the flipside, tiny doses of encouragement permeate through others and help open up the runway to hope for us all. Let’s all be hope injectors.

In this episode of XTRA:

The stark difference between a person’s positive and negative responses
A story about a surprising, pleasant reaction from a stranger
Why we should all strive to be hope injectors

Words Are Powerful. Use Them For Good.

Tue, 30 Aug 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Do you ever stop to think about the energy behind your words? Are you mindful of the language you use with your family and friends, the barista at Starbucks, or even the repairman who’s fixing your sink? Words are our most powerful weapon.

When we hear the phrase ‘small talk’, it often elicits an emotional response. Your eyes may sink back into the back of your head, thinking about awkward conversations in line at the grocery store.

Are You a Rescuer? How to Stop Saving People

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 10:00:00 +0000

This may be hard for some of us to hear, but people don’t need you to rescue them. They need you to listen, love, support and encourage them, but you’re not doing them, or yourself, any favors by constantly stepping in whenever you see them experiencing adversity. We think we’re being helpful, but we’re often robbing people of their own experience to feel good about themselves. We are all wildly capable, so let’s not strip ourselves, or anyone else, from figuring that out.

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 10:00:00 +0000

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?
