Her Interview
Ten minutes with Christy
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my parents, whose love and support have remained constant no matter which path I chose. They stood by me through some of life’s most difficult and challenging periods and imparted lessons that continue to shape who I am. Their encouragement, resilience, and unwavering belief in me have profoundly influenced both my personal growth and professional journey.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Throughout my career, the most meaningful lessons have centered on perseverance, compassion, and the responsibility to create positive change. I have learned the value of moving forward even in difficult circumstances and of focusing on what I can contribute rather than solely on what is wrong. Meaningful work, I believe, begins with recognizing the difference we can make in the lives of others.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering this industry is simple: never give up, and never doubt how capable you are. Look for ways to make a difference in your own corner of the world. Do not underestimate the power of your voice, your skills, or your willingness to serve others. Let your light shine wherever you are, contribute what you can, and play your part in making the world better.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I see a vital opportunity in ensuring that support and services truly reach those who need them most. My work centers on communication, connection, and service, and I believe there is real power in bringing people together around shared needs and resources. Through coaching, community engagement, and my wider professional efforts, I help individuals navigate difficult experiences while connecting them with meaningful support and opportunities.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The value that guides me most is treating others as I would want to be treated. I strive to show compassion, respect, and consideration, and to understand what someone may be experiencing before I engage with them. Service, empathy, and a genuine desire to help others are at the heart of both my personal life and the way I approach my work.

YOU Matter.
Stop waiting for permission to recognize your own worth—you already deserve it.
You matter. Not when you finally “make it.” Not when the world decides to notice. Not after the big win or the perfect recovery or the polished version of yourself. You matter right now, exactly as you are, in the middle of the unfinished, the quiet, the overlooked, and the ordinary.
From the smallest accomplishments to the largest, you deserve your flowers. The day you got out of bed when everything in you wanted to stay under the covers. The email you sent even though your hands were shaking. The boundary you set. The apology you offered. The quiet decision to try again. Those count. They are not “less than.” They are the foundation. Stop waiting for someone else to hand you a bouquet. Give yourself the damn flowers. Arrange them. Water them. Sit with them. You earned every single one.
No one fully understands your feelings. No one completely sees your worth until you do. Other people can care, support, and cheer, but they are still looking from the outside. They don’t live inside your history, your private calculations, or your silent battles. That means the most important recognition will always come from you. The moment you decide your pain is valid, your effort is real, and your presence is enough, something shifts. The world doesn’t suddenly become kinder, but you become harder to diminish. And that changes everything.
You are more capable than you can ever imagine. That is not motivational fluff. It is a fact you have already proven in a hundred quiet ways. Every time you kept going when it would have been easier to quit, every time you learned something the hard way, every time you showed up for someone else while barely holding yourself together—you demonstrated capacity most people never see. Your superpower is never forgetting that. Not when the results are slow. Not when the doubt gets loud. Not when comparison tries to shrink you. Hold the truth of your capability like a non-negotiable. Protect it. Return to it. Let it steady you.
Be compassionate with yourself the way you would be with someone you love. Offer yourself the same empathy you extend so freely to others. Then stand in the confidence that you are not behind, not broken, and not required to earn your place. You already have it.
You matter.
You deserve the flowers.
You are more capable than you know.
And the moment you stop waiting for permission to believe it is the moment everything begins to move.
