Each episode we will discuss and share real stories that are relevant, inspiring and engaging as it relates to women and the life that shape us into who we are today. Every episode will be committed to engaging conversations that will include interviews with influential women, leaders, healers, authors, and close friends. We will discuss EVERYTHING, nothing is off the table, except politics, we will leave that one off the table. DeAnna and Cristie will explore every genre from loss, grief, spirituality, divorce, marriage, raising children, blended families, infidelity, sex, menopause, girlfriends, those damn readers we now have hoarded in every room of the house, hormones, mental health, alcohol, addiction, fitness and ALL experiences and challenges that shaped us into the powerful women we have become today. Our goals and intentions are to connect our audience with services, people, and communities to help meet their needs while they explore and learn more about who they are and their purpose now and in the future. We hope our learning journey together will connect us with serious topics as well as lots of laughter and maybe some tears.Copyright 2026 Cristie and DeAnna Relazioni Scienze sociali Spiritualità Successo personale Sviluppo personale

    Grief Doesn't Graduate
    Oct 21 2026
    DISCLOSURE:This episode contains honest conversations about grief, child loss, and suicide loss. Please take care of yourself as you listen.Summary:Grief has no expiration date, and this episode proves it. Cristie opens up about approaching the ten-year mark since losing her son Taylor, and what it’s really meant to carry that grief through a decade of life, love, and change. DeAnna shares her own recent losses - her mom, her stepdad, a colleague, a client - and gets honest about how she’s learning to stop suppressing and start feeling. Together, we dive into what grief actually looks like in real life: its loneliness, the confusion of laughing while still hurting, and the unexpected beauty that can come from the darkest places. We talk about the difference between grief and mourning, what it means to find community with people who truly understand your loss, and the one resource we keep recommending to anyone who doesn’t know how to show up for someone who’s hurting. This one is raw, real, and full of love. We hope it meets you exactly where you are.Key Takeaways:Cristie approaching ten years since losing her son Taylor: what grief looks and feels like at a decadeThe difference between grief and mourning, and why moving into mourning is part of healingHow to hold joy and grief at the same time, and why that’s not a betrayal of your loved oneWhat actually helps when supporting someone through significant loss (including the website centerforloss.com and Dr. Alan Wolfelt’s work)DeAnna’s own recent losses (her mother, stepdad, and others) and her honest struggle with suppressing versus feelingThe “collateral beauty” of grief: how loss can change you at a cellular level in ways you never expectedWhy community and finding people who truly understand your type of loss is a game changerResources Mentioned in This Episode:Center for LossCenter for Loss Bookstore988 Suicide & Crisis LifelineOption B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy by Sheryl SandbergSheryl Sandberg On Finding Love And A Deeper Joy, After Loss (All There Is with Anderson Cooper)Are video podcasts more your style?

    Retiring at 56...Am I Crazy?
    Oct 7 2026
    Summary:In this episode, Cristie shares something she has been sitting with for nearly a year: she is retiring at 56, after thirty-four years in the mortgage industry. And it has been one of the most emotional, disorienting, and surprisingly complicated decisions of her life. She talks about the fear, the imposter syndrome, the identity she is leaving behind, and the chapter she is trying to design on the other side. Because retiring does not mean stopping. It means finally getting to choose.
