What if the hardest chapters of your life were never meant to break you—but to build the story you were born to tell? In this inspiring episode, CJ sits down with Cristina P. Simmons—bestselling author, speaker, and founder of the Soul Story Collective—to explore how sharing your story can be the very thing that sets you free.
Cristina opens up about her own journey from pediatric occupational therapist to publisher and coach, and how transforming her pain into purpose became the foundation of her work. She shares why the energy we put out into the world shapes what comes back to us, how storytelling becomes a tool for healing, and why every woman deserves to rise on her own terms.
If you’ve ever felt called to tell your story—or wondered whether your experience could help someone else—this conversation will remind you that your voice is powerful, your truth matters, and your story might just be the spark someone else needs to heal.
