Listen to Our Latest Episode

In this powerful solo reflection, Christine shares on Yes! We Rise what has unfolded during one of the most difficult seasons of her life. What began as a promising year—healthy, strong, training for her first marathon—shifted dramatically when she developed a sudden cascade of health symptoms that ultimately led to a Lyme disease diagnosis.

The combination became overwhelming, leaving Christine exhausted, disoriented, and unable to rely on her usual anchors.
