Dr. Christi has dedicated her career to helping high-achieving women and power couples embrace holistic healing by nurturing the profound connection between mind, body, and soul. In this conversation, we explore how God’s creation - plants, essential oils, and natural remedies - holds powerful healing properties that have been used since biblical times. Dr. Christi shares invaluable insights on the body’s innate ability to heal itself, the impact of our thoughts and beliefs on our well-being, and how we can take a faith-filled approach to health and entrepreneurship.

Here are three key takeaways: Natural Path to Healing: Naturopathy is about supporting the body's natural intelligence to heal itself using elements God placed on Earth, like plants and essential oils. Imagine our bodies being divinely designed to restore themselves! Mind Over Matter: The psychology behind our health is powerful. Our minds greatly influence our physical well-being, and addressing emotional traumas can lead to profound healing. It's a reminder of the holistic nature of true health. Essential Oil Benefits: Essential oils, such as frankincense and myrrh, possess incredible healing properties that reach across our body's systems.

  • [Ep#423] How Humility, Trust, and Building a Winning Team Drive Success

    [Ep#423] How Humility, Trust, and Building a Winning Team Drive Success
    Mar 13 2025
    Success in business isn’t just about strategy and numbers. It’s about character, trust, and the people you surround yourself with. In the latest episode of The Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast, we had the privilege of speaking with Paul Graeve, founder of The Data Group, about how faith and humility have played a vital role in his entrepreneurial journey. Paul’s path into the data industry was unexpected, but his upbringing instilled in him the values of integrity and perseverance. His story is a testament to how God can guide us in surprising directions, leading to opportunities beyond what we can imagine. During our conversation, Paul emphasized the importance of character in business, sharing how his experiences shaped his approach to leadership and success. He highlighted the power of trust in financial transactions, explaining how building strong relationships with clients and maintaining integrity is crucial for long-term success. One of the most impactful lessons he shared was the importance of grace in entrepreneurship - not just in extending it to others but also in giving yourself grace. He spoke about how overcoming self-doubt and embracing God's plan can open unexpected doors in both business and life. If you’re looking for wisdom on leading with faith, building a business with integrity, and thinking differently about success, this conversation is for you. Here are three key takeaways: The Foundation of Humility: Paul shared a powerful story about how a moment of humility led to a lasting mentorship that continues to be invaluable in his life. It's a reminder that recognizing the strengths of others and staying humble can open doors to meaningful relationships. Trust is Earned: Trust takes years to build and seconds to destroy, especially when money is involved. Paul's experience underscores the importance of finding business partners who remain ethical and steadfast, even when financial stakes are high. Building Exceptional Teams: Relationships are at the heart of successful teams. Paul emphasizes the importance of truly valuing and connecting with your team members, fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect and collaboration. This human-centric approach not only boosts morale but also enhances productivity.

    Building a business isn’t just about strategy - it’s about heart, faith, and purpose. Andee Hart knows this firsthand.

  • [Ep#421] The Importance of Rest & Self-Care to Heal and Restore

    [Ep#421] The Importance of Rest & Self-Care to Heal and Restore
    Feb 27 2025
    Welcome to The Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast! I’m your host, Annemarie Cross, and today, I’m sharing a deeply personal update. This episode was originally published on the Ambitious Entrepreneur Show three weeks ago, but the journey I’m about to share is one that I know will resonate deeply with this audience as well. After stepping away from podcasting for a while, life took us on an unexpected path - one that completely transformed our approach to health and wellness. It began when my husband’s health took a serious turn, and we discovered that his struggles were linked to mercury toxicity from dental fillings. This led us to explore naturopathy, detoxification, and holistic healing. But that wasn’t the only revelation. Along the way, I learned that I, too, have EMF sensitivity, which sparked a passion for herbal medicine. This journey led me to start growing my own herbal remedies and launch Restore Rophe, a brand dedicated to natural healing solutions. In this episode, I’ll take you behind the scenes of our wellness journey, the launch of my new business ventures, and how we’re helping coaches and consultants elevate their visibility and attract more clients. Plus, I’ll give you an exclusive look at Industry Thought Leader Technologies, launching in 2025—a game-changer for streamlining business operations. So, grab a cup of tea and join me as we dive into the power of an authentic message, the importance of self-care, and how faith, natural healing, and business expertise can come together to create lasting impact. It’s all happening right here on The Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast! Here are 3 Key Takeaways from her latest episode: Holistic Health and Wellness: Our family's battle with mercury toxicity led me to delve deep into herbal medicine and holistic remedies. I've even started my own garden and launched a brand of herbal teas called "Restore Rophe." Emphasizing the healing properties of nature aligns closely with my Christian beliefs, and I urge everyone to consult open-minded health professionals for a balanced approach to wellness. Empowering Entrepreneurs with Technology: I've partnered with a U.S.-based business to create Industry Thought Leader Technologies, an all-in-one platform for coaches and consultants. This robust system includes CRM, automated emails, a calendar system, and more, aimed at helping businesses scale efficiently and effectively. Stay tuned for the full launch in 2025 Visibility and Authority: For those feeling underrecognized despite their expertise, I've developed free training and resources to help you build a unique, memorable brand and nurture podcast listeners into leads. Our aim is to position you as a trusted authority in your industry. LISTEN NOW: CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION: Continue the conversation about this podcast episode over on our Community!
