Why Your Scars are Sexy: A Journey to Self & Healing w/ Christina Helena

Christina Helena is a true survivor. As you may know, pancreatic cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of any cancer and Christina became one of the youngest survivors at just 19 years old. A second near death experience at age 25 would lead her to finally face both her physical and emotional scars and ignited her purpose to share her story with the world. She currently has a one-woman show about her life, entitled SCAR, where she plays 40 characters, who all tell her story! She’s a keynote speaker, most notably seen speaking at a TEDx and has a talk called My Scar is Sexy that we’ll talk about on the show. She’s also a coach, writer, performer, and overall beautiful human being. Her trauma turned her into a hunger for truth and healing. She turned that pain into a rebirth and that rebirth into art.  From this conversation you’ll learn: How to face your mortality own your full story Why your scars are sexy How to begin to heal Ways to define the human experience The imprint of our scars & how to address it How to take responsibility for our happiness Redefine your trauma Find your authentic self How to handle extreme emotions The importance of letting yourself feel How to move through your emotions and turn them into art How to create from your experience Why there’s a comfort in knowing you’re alone How to shed shame and secrecy And MORE!
