Virtual Book Tour: Interview at A Congruent Life

I am so delighted to share today’s stop on the Virtual Book Tour.  Andy Gray has a wonderful new interview project offering “inspirational stories of authenticity and happiness” at A Congruent Life, and you can listen to our conversation here.

In this episode of A Congruent Life, Christine shares profoundly about ‘following the thread,’ pilgrimage, and vulnerability.
