In this episode of Maverick Scholar, Christina shares an inside look at what’s been unfolding behind the scenes—updates on her published books (Echoes of Eden and The Awakening), a sneak peek at book three currently in the works, and the launch of her new YouTube channel. She also reflects on the challenge of staying authentic in a world that doesn’t always agree, and how learning to live out her own beliefs—slowly, steadily, imperfectly—has led to surprising positives.

It’s part update, part encouragement, and part reminder that the journey is rarely clear—but always worth taking.

In this episode of The Maverick Scholar, I dive into my first book, Echoes of Eden, and explore the idea of the inner garden we all carry within us. We talk about the journey of noticing the beauty, the pain, and the memories that shape us—and how those echoes from our past can guide us back to peace, connection, and Source. I share why I wrote this book, what I learned along the way, and how uncovering the garden inside can change the way you see yourself and the world around you.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to reconnect with your own inner Eden, this episode is for you.

Everywhere you look, there's anger, resentment, and dysfunction. How often do we say, "I hate this," while still going to work and spreading more of what we dislike?
