Description
The mental health and wellness podcast that’s as real as it gets — with a little humor and a lot of heart. I’m Christina Pehr, a certified life coach and registered nurse, sharing unfiltered stories, fresh perspectives, and lived experiences to help us grow, heal, and show up as our best selves. This is a no-judgment zone where we explore everything from emotional well-being to physical health, mindset shifts, and finding joy in life’s messiness. Sometimes it’s just me, sometimes guests join with their own insights. My goal? To make mental health feel approachable, relatable, and even a little fun, while giving you tools you can actually use.

Send us a text In this episode, we explore the deeper meaning behind cacao ceremonies and how choosing more intentional ways of gathering can completely transform how we connect, celebrate, and honor life’s moments. Inspired by Bianca’s birthday, this conversation opens up a powerful dialogue about heart-opening experiences, conscious celebration, and choosing depth over surface-level norms. We talk about what cacao ceremonies actually are, why they feel so grounding and connective, and how ...
Send a text In this episode, we explore what community truly means when everything feels uncertain. Through a deeply personal story centered around the fires in Altadena, this conversation reflects on loss, displacement, resilience, and the quiet ways people show up for one another in moments of crisis. We talk about firsthand evacuation and rescue experiences, the emotional toll on a community, and how collective grief can transform into collective strength. This episode also unpacks the i...
Send us a text If you’re looking for tools to navigate life, the courage to move forward when things feel uncertain, and a deeper sense of trust in yourself and the human experience, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I share the lessons that emerged from stepping into a completely new chapter of my life — not just moving to California, but what that move unlocked within me. From learning how environment shapes our nervous system and growth, to trusting intuition, navigating unco...
Send us a text If you’re scared, hesitant, or holding yourself back — please listen. In this episode, I share the story of my accidental spiritual journey. It started with a quiet inner voice — and the moment I finally chose myself. I went from depressed, anxious, scared, and completely stuck to listening to what life and the universe were placing in front of me. Within a year, everything changed: a new city, a new home, a new job, more money, and an entirely new mindset. I talk about leaving...
Send us a text Are you actually sabotaging yourself? Like… are you burning yourself out and calling it ambition — or being “so nice” to yourself that you’re quietly avoiding your own potential? In this episode, we get real about hustle culture, self-care, and the uncomfortable middle ground no one wants to look at. We ask the questions most people dodge: Are you hustling because you’re driven — or because you don’t know how to slow down? And on the flip side… is your rest actually restorati...
Send us a text Everyone says “do the work”… but almost no one explains what that actually looks like. In this episode, we pull the phrase apart and talk about what healing really involves beyond just insight or talking things through. We get into what it means to show up for yourself, how therapy can be collaborative instead of passive, and why real change often comes from feeling, not fixing. We explore breakthrough moments, sitting with uncomfortable emotions, and how the language we use ...
Send us a text Therapy isn’t broken — the way we talk about it is. In this episode, we get real about what therapy actually is, why “just talk about it” doesn’t work for everyone, and how the one-size-fits-all model has left so many people feeling confused, discouraged, or like therapy “failed” them. We break down traditional talk therapy, what client-centered therapy really means, and why feeling safe, seen, and understood matters more than any label or modality. We also explore what happe...
Send us a text If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, I’m grateful, but I know there’s more. If you’ve ever felt called to change something without having a perfect plan, this episode is for you. This year my mantra has been more life. So I put my things in storage, booked a one-way flight, and decided to travel for a few months with no real agenda other than trusting God and letting life lead. Nothing was wrong with my life — it just wasn’t fully aligned. And I realized that if I wa...
Send us a text In this episode, we explore a simple but powerful question: is life a miracle, or is it just happening to us? Inspired by Einstein’s famous perspective and grounded in real, lived experience, this conversation weaves through intuition, personal challenges, childhood wonder, and the quiet magic hidden inside everyday moments. We talk about why so many of us lose our sense of awe as we grow older, how conditioning and environment shape the reality we experience, and what it actu...
Send us a text Botox, filler, peptides, NAD, lasers, biohacking — what’s actually worth it, and what’s just hype? In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Giffen, founder of Giffen Aesthetics and board-certified family nurse practitioner, for an honest, grounded conversation about beauty, aging, and the choices we make in a world obsessed with fixing and optimizing. We break down the biggest myths around Botox and filler, talk preventative treatments, regenerative medicine, lasers, peptides, NA...
Send us a text In this episode, I’m talking about why we settle for less — even when we know it’s not what we want. We unpack where settling really comes from: fear, conditioning, survival patterns, and the belief that wanting more makes us ungrateful or unrealistic. But what we don’t talk about enough is what settling actually costs us — emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and long-term. Sometimes settling feels temporary. Sometimes it feels practical. Sometimes it feels like the “smart” cho...
Send us a text Outgrowing your life doesn't mean burning it down. In this episode, we talk about how to stay true to your new self while still maintaining relationships, values, and experiences from your past that you genuinely resonate with. We explore boundaries, identity shifts, and the discomfort that comes with growth-especially when others haven't grown alongside you. This is a grounded conversation about honoring evolution without losing yourself in the process. 🎙️ New Wayz with Chris...
Send us a text In this episode , we explore the idea of sustainable duality — the art of honoring multiple passions while staying grounded, present, and fulfilled. Flo Chase joins the conversation to unpack what it really means to live beyond the highlight reel. From balancing music, modeling, travel, and creative expression, to navigating burnout, fear, and societal expectations around work and success, this episode dives into the process of building a life that feels good on the inside — n...
Send us a text This episode is a little different — it isn’t about Flo Chase music, it’s about the human behind it. Before we recorded, he told me most interviews stay surface-level and focus on his career, but this one goes deeper into his actual story and the experiences that shaped him. We talk about how the way you grow up influences who you become, the schooling systems he moved through, why he chose certain paths in life, and what really happened when he first came to the United States...
Send us a text In this episode, I sit down with the founders of Flourish — two grounded, intentional women who are doing the work to bring more connection and healing amongst women into the world. We dive into the whole “women vs. women” thing… where it comes from, why some of us have never really experienced it, and why others grew up around it and still feel the impact today. We talk about the scarcity mindset, the subtle ways conditioning shows up, and how a lot of the competition or judg...
Send us a text In this episode, I sit down with the founders of Flourish — a women’s community that started on a whim and grew into something so much bigger than any of them ever expected. What began as a simple idea between friends in LA — a space for women to feel safe, seen, connected, supported — has turned into a real, heart-led community. We get into how it all started, the trials, the lessons, the unexpected blessings, and the behind-the-scenes communication and planning that went int...
Send us a text In this episode, I sit down with a dear friend of mine to talk about something most of us will face one day, but rarely feel prepared for — watching a parent die. She opens up about her experience with her dad’s decline, the complexities of hospice care, wishing he had been more honest about what was really happening, and the emotional rollercoaster of anticipatory grief. We walk through the messy, very human parts of it: the fear, the confusion, the small moments of clarity, ...
Send us a text In this episode, I sit down with my friend Sina Tadayon — an actor, writer, and grad student, and honestly one of the realest humans I know. We get into where his love for storytelling started, what it was like being the class clown, and how he almost took a completely different path before deciding to follow film. He opens up about what it’s actually like chasing a passion in Hollywood — the pressure, the identity shifts, the moments that make you question yourself, and the o...
Send us a text In this episode, I sit down with Sina Tadayon to talk about OCD in a way most people have never heard before. Sina doesn’t just study it or write about it — he lives with it. He’s given TED Talks, written multiple articles, and walked through the day-to-day reality of a mind that tries to “protect” him while also creating fear, confusion, and unwanted identities. Most of us only hear the surface-level version of OCD — the stereotypes, the neat and tidy boxes. But Sina brings u...
Send us a text This episode is a ride in the best way. I let Baidi Farl take the reins, and the conversation unfolded into one of the most honest, grounded, and unexpectedly insightful episodes I’ve ever done. We start off joking around—because he refuses to enter a room without cracking a joke—but it quickly shifts into a real reflection on who he used to be, who he’s becoming, and everything in between. We get into his past relationship when he first moved to LA, what it taught him, and how...
