On the outside, she looked like she had it all together. On the inside, she was breaking. But then everything changed. After losing twin sons, becoming a single mom, and hitting financial rock bottom — Christy made a decision. She wasn’t going to just survive. She was going to rise. And she did.From making $30K a year to building a 7-figure firm, Christy turned her pain into purpose and her story into strategy. Today, she’s not just a thriving entrepreneur and mother — she’s living proof that your past does not define your future. This episode will challenge you to stop hiding, start healing, and rewrite what success looks like on your terms.
