  • Adore the show

    I found this podcast and absolutely fell in love. Christine is such a real down to earth personality. I am a 59 yr old metalsmith only in it since 2017. It saved my life from imminent death by grief. I found that I have a knack for the art. And I have absolutely connected to so many of her interviews., as well some of her story. Thank you Christine for keeping it real.
