XTRA: Life & Style Unscripted

Have you ever wanted something but thought that it could never be possible? Do you ever second-guess yourself and feel like you can't become who you want to be? While most of us doubt the power of possibility, Christina wants to prove otherwise. In this episode, Christina dives into the realm of possibility and its power if we believe and accept it. Most of us have closed the door to possibilities because someone told us it's inaccessible, but in reality, it is possible. No one else can dictate to you who you get to become. If you want something bad enough and accept this power of possibility, it can open the doors to self-discovery. From this place, we can become whoever we want to be.

Confidence starts from within and stems from knowing who you are and liking every bit of yourself. In this episode, Christina explores how it feels to be unapologetically confident and how it impacts how others perceive us. Christina urges everyone, especially women, to start carrying the idea of saying "I like me" to yourself simply because you are enough, and no one else can take that away from you but yourself.

In this episode, Christina is reframing gratitude and talks about how it is when being grateful isn't enough for us to be satisfied with how we live our lives. Although we're thankful for the family, friends, and things around us that make us whole, there is that reality that there is a certain part of your life solely for you. That part of you that yearns to be the best that you can be for yourself and that makes you want to do more and evolve as you take on this path that we call life.

Every day, we find ourselves in awkward conversations or situations where we don't exactly know what to say. Sometimes we struggle to find the right words to empathize with others, or sometimes the topic can be complex, and we feel unsure of how to express our thoughts.

We are all unique individuals with our thoughts, beliefs, shapes, and forms. One person is never exactly like the other because life was never meant to be one-size-fits-all. In this episode, Christina debunks the mindset that one size can actually fit all in every aspect of life. Likewise, she challenges us to give ourselves the encouragement and support to do things our way and surround ourselves with people that promote this way of thinking so we can become the best version of ourselves.

In this episode, Christina looks back into 2022. When a year ends, it's customary to look back and reflect on the things that happened and what we did or didn't do. Unfortunately, more often than not, these "year in reviews" usually lead to a list of things we weren't able to achieve that end up disappointing us. Instead of thinking about what you didn't accomplish, focus on what you did and get inspired by them, no matter how big or small they may be.

New year, new you! As cliche as that sounds, that's usually the case whenever we welcome a new year. We welcome it with big dreams, big goals, and big plans. In this episode, Christina talks about how she approaches the new year and invites us to look at ourselves differently this time. Instead of going big, she wants us to unplug, pause, reflect, and reboot. Not just during the new year, but perhaps make it a habit to slow down, reflect on yourself, and recharge to become your best self.
