Christine Amoroso: She decided she deserved happiness and went to Italy to find her family roots and found a new life in the process

Like the title of her first book, "Bare Naked in Public," Christine Amoroso is baring everything—not literally, but emotionally, as she unpacks a life where happiness often seemed elusive. Pregnant and married at age 17, she pulled herself up by her bootstraps to have multiple successful careers in accounting and education. But eventually, she realized that her workaholic ways and poor choices in the romance department had led her into a downward spiral of shame and guilt instead of happiness. In her fifties, Christine quit everything, got rid of her belongings, and traveled to Italy in search of her family's roots. What she didn't realize was that in the process of examining her family tree, she would eventually find herself. Christine is now blowing up the myths that have ruled her entire life. Twice divorced, she realized that she had been making all the wrong choices when it came to men. She also realized that life is not all about work. Christine calls herself a "recovering overachiever" who occasionally relapses, something many of us can relate to. She bravely shares her journey to self-acceptance and fulfillment with me in this week's show.
