So pull up a chair and join Christa in a space where curiosity meets connection. These aren’t your typical interviews. They’re deep dives into the minds, hearts, and stories of people shaping the world in their own unique ways. Step inside. Listen, reflect, and maybe even find a little of yourself along the way. Welcome to the conversation.
