How Do You Want to Be Remembered?

Mindset Matters

Mindset Matters What if the biggest battle you’re facing isn’t your circumstances—but the story you’re telling yourself about them? In this episode of Faith Over Iced Coffee, Cristina shares a heartfelt conversation about mindset, faith, heartbreak, chronic illness, grief, and healing. Together, we’ll explore how our thoughts shape the way we experience life’s challenges and why our worth should never be determined by who stays or who leaves. If you’re struggling with disappointment, rejection, loss, or simply feeling stuck, this episode is a reminder that your feelings are real—but they don’t have to define your future. Remember: “The tragedy isn’t that someone left. The tragedy is when we allow their departure to become our identity.” Grab your iced coffee and join us for a conversation about resilience, faith, and finding hope in the middle of life’s storms. 🤍☕️

Welcome to Faith Over Iced Coffee ☕️🤍 | A Little About Me

Hi friends, and welcome to Faith Over Iced Coffee. In this episode, I’m introducing myself and sharing the heart behind why I created this podcast. I’m a mom of three, working full-time, traveling for work, balancing motherhood, faith, career, and all the beautiful chaos life brings. I definitely don’t have it all together, but I’m learning to walk through life with grace, faith, honesty, and a lot of iced coffee. This podcast is a space for real conversations about faith, parenthood, work, life struggles, growth, and everything in between. There’s no perfect schedule here — I record when I feel led to speak and when something is placed on my heart. Whether you’re listening while driving to work, cleaning the house, sitting in school pickup line, or just needing encouragement, I hope this space reminds you that you are never alone. Thank you for being here 🤍🙏

The Battles We Don’t See

In this heartfelt return episode of Faith and Rice Coffee, Cristina opens up about the silent struggles so many people carry behind closed doors. From anxiety and depression to emotional exhaustion and loneliness, this conversation is a reminder that not every battle is visible. This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder to check on your loved ones, lead with empathy, and remember that even the people who smile the brightest may be hurting silently.

You Can Have Both: Career, Motherhood & No Guilt

In this episode, I’m opening up about one of the most common questions I get—“What do you do for a living?”—and the deeper conversation that always seems to follow. From working as a nurse to transitioning into the bone marrow transplant and cell therapy space, I’ve built a career I truly love. But with that passion also comes assumptions… especially around motherhood, travel, and the idea of “mom guilt.” Today, I’m sharing my truth—what it really looks like to balance a full-time career and being present for my children, why I refuse to feel guilty for loving what I do, and how I’m raising my kids to understand hard work, purpose, and possibility. This episode is for every woman who has ever felt judged for her choices—whether you work, stay home, or do a little bit of both. Because at the end of the day… you don’t have to choose. You can have both. 🤍
