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.

My intent is never to harm, offend, or be prejudiced. I speak from lived experience with a genuine desire for everyone’s well-being.

Send a text Our childhood experiences don’t stay in the past. They quietly shape how we see ourselves, how we form relationships, and how we navigate the world as adults. In this episode, I sit down with Siddharth Mallya to talk about the impact of growing up within complex family dynamics and how those early experiences can continue to influence our emotional lives, if we allow them to. Sid shares his story of childhood instability, divorce, loneliness, and the search for connection, and how...
Send a text Wellness has become loud, confusing, and trend-driven — and for a lot of people, it’s doing more harm than good. In this episode, I sit down with Sarah to talk about conscious health and what it actually means to take care of your body without falling into extremes, guilt, or quick-fix culture. We explore the differences between Eastern and Western approaches to wellness, how habits and daily standards shape long-term health, and why so many people feel stuck cycling through...
Send a text What if feeling stuck isn’t a sign that you’re broken — but a sign that you’ve been avoiding the very experiences that help you grow? In this episode, we explore what it really means to live a meaningful life beyond chasing happiness, purpose, or constant self-improvement. We talk about why humans instinctively avoid pain, how that avoidance quietly shapes our choices, and how learning to be present can completely change the way we experience our lives. This conversation moves thr...
Send 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 cre...
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 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 uncomfo...
Send 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 a ...
Send 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 restorative,...
Send 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 aro...
Send 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 happens ...
Send 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 wante...
Send 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 actuall...
Send 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, NAD, ...
Send 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” choice...
Send 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 Christin...
Send 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 — not ...
Send 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 an...
Send 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 judgmen...
Send 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 into b...
Send 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 us i...
