If you’re struggling to get good sleep these days, you are NOT alone! Between balancing work as an entrepreneur, doing things for yourself, and trying to maintain a social life, it can sometimes feel impossible to get a good night of sleep. (If you’ve ever “gone to bed”, but just ended up tossing and turning for hours because your mind won’t stop racing, you know EXACTLY what I mean – so many of my clients feel this way.)
Because rest is so critical for being able to access your intuition, find inspiration, and operate in your feminine energy (which is where all of the creativity happens!), I’ve been on a mission to nail down a routine that allows me to get the best sleep of my life so I can wake up feeling refreshed and energized.
Today, I’m sharing my top six products that have helped me get the best sleep of my life!
1. NED Full-Spectrum Hemp Oil
This full-spectrum hemp oil helps support my sleep, relieves my pain & inflammation, and reduces my anxiety using all-natural ingredients. NED is one of the only CBD brands to utilize the full hemp plant – and trust me, you can FEEL the difference! There are so many CBD products on the market now, and it can feel overwhelming to sift through them all and find a brand you actually trust. This is why I LOVE that all NED products are third-party tested for efficacy – and I can tell you, they’ve been a total game-changer for me! They even have a new Sleep Blend crafted with specific botanicals to help support relaxation and deep sleep. The Sleep Blend is my FAVORITE specifically for sleep – I get the best sleep of my life with this! Take a few drops before bed, and you’re set. You can get your hands on any NED products today for 15% off with code “CHRISTINA”.
2. BLUblox Blue Blockers
If you follow me on social media, you know I’m pretty much ALWAYS wearing a pair of these blue light blocking glasses after the sun goes down (and the daytime glasses during the day!). Blue light is emitted by all of the electronics we find ourselves attached to at night – our phones, laptops, TVs, and smartwatches – and if we don’t take extra steps to block this wavelength of light from our eyes at least two hours before going to bed, it can keep us awake! BLUblox products – especially the Sleep+ lenses – have been a life-saver on nights when I’m up late checking emails or responding to comments on IG. I also LOVE their REMedy Sleep Mask – it’s 100% light-blocking, which helps me sleep all the way through the night! Interested in trying these products out for yourself? Use code “christina” at checkout or 15% off your order!
3. Organifi Gold
Organifi Gold is an absolute staple for me when I want to get more restful sleep. This DELICIOUS golden milk latte is jam-packed with organic superfoods to help you sleep better AND give your immune system an extra boost. It even has magnesium to support relaxation, and I always feel sooo much calmer after I drink this. Whenever I drink this at night, I wake up the next morning feeling refreshed, energized, and ready to take on my day. Sounds pretty amazing, right? Try it out for yourself and save 15% with code “CTC”.
4. Four Sigmatic Mushroom Cacao with Reishi
This elixir is made with pure, unprocessed cacao and adaptogenic Reishi mushrooms – helping you wind down and fall asleep faster. This makes the perfect, cozy night-cap right before bed, plus it tastes AMAZING. All of Four Sigmatic’s products are organic and lab-tested, so you know you’re getting the best quality. If you’re ready to dive into the world of adaptogenic mushrooms, use code “CTC” at checkout to get 10% off your order!
5. Magnesium
I hate to be the bearer of bad news – but most of the population has a magnesium deficiency! Magnesium is so important for helping your body regulate neurotransmitters and melatonin – the chemical responsible for making you feel sleepy at night (and keeping you asleep until the next day). If your magnesium levels are out of whack, you’ve probably been struggling to get a full, restful night of sleep. I take a well-sourced magnesium supplement every single day to make sure I’m supporting my body’s natural circadian rhythm.
6. Further Food Ashwagandha
My last ride-or-die product that helps me sleep better is this ashwagandha from Further Food. The capsules are vegan and include black pepper and avocado oil to help make this adaptogen as bioavailable as possible. Ashwagandha works with your body to reduce cortisol levels and naturally calm your mind before bed, helping you fall asleep faster. Use code “wellness” for 10% off of your order – you’ll thank me! 😉
These products have helped me take my sleep game to the NEXT level – and I hope they do the same for you, too! Once you start sleeping like a baby, you can feel more rested and ready to receive, tap into your intuition more easily, and show up as a creative genius in your work.

What if you didn’t have to wait blindly for the things you want to fall into your lap? The truth is, you can make them happen by mastering your manifestation practice!
Today’s post is ALL about how to manifest what you want this year, and all of the steps you need to master your manifestation practice so you can get started right away!
1. Work on Brain Rewiring
Brain rewiring is a key component of being able to successfully manifest what you want – but it’s also one of the most overlooked steps! Brain rewiring involves replacing all of the “negative”, low-vibe thoughts that automatically pop into your head throughout the day with NEW thoughts and positive affirmations that allow you to vibrate at the frequency of what you want to attract.
Brain rewiring starts at the subconscious level by shifting the thought patterns that no longer serve you and creating new neural pathways. This involves replacing those negative, icky-feeling thoughts with positive ones through methods like journaling, repetition, and meditation. If you haven’t read my post on Why Brain Rewiring Beats New Year’s Resolutions, I dive even deeper into this topic there!
Brain rewiring is a great starting point for being able to manifest what you want with EASE. This process not only helps you transform the beliefs you have about yourself and the world around you, but it also helps you attract what you WANT – instead of what you don’t want.
You’re already manifesting, whether or not you’re trying to, and what you attract in is based on your subconscious beliefs. Constantly thinking negative thoughts is only going to attract more negative people, events, and feelings, while thinking positive thoughts (thoughts that actually serve you) will attract people, events, and feelings that make you feel good! Essentially, the frequency of our thoughts – both conscious and subconscious – directly affects the frequency at which we vibrate and what we call in! The subconscious piece is the piece most people miss.
2. Start Raising Your Vibration
Raising your vibration is another key component of manifestation – and if you know me, you know this is my favorite part. 🙂 There are so many ways you can raise your frequency throughout the day, but if you know me, you know that my personal favorite is DANCING. Another extremely effective way to raise your vibration is to start surrounding yourself with other like-minded, high-vibe people who fill your life with positivity and support.
If you aren’t in a place right now where you have a solid group of people you can count on for positivity, support, and encouragement, don’t worry – that’s exactly why I created The Channel Collective membership! This membership is PACKED with the content and community you need to help raise your vibration – like juicy Q+A calls, monthly manifestation parties, channeled messages, and more! When you join, you automatically get access to a group of women who HAVE YOUR BACK and help you raise your vibration.
In addition to doing the deeper work (like trauma healing and shadow work), raising your vibration also encompasses shifting out of your limiting beliefs and working on your thoughts at the conscious level – A.K.A. your mindset. Take a step back and start really analyzing the thoughts that come to you throughout the day. Where do they stem from? What triggers them? Do they have a positive or negative connotation? How can you play devil’s advocate?
The essence of limiting beliefs is that they limit you in some way – whether it’s your spiritual growth, your ability to attract abundance, or your relationship with a partner. These beliefs will continue to limit you until you make the conscious decision to change them. Once you do make this decision and start doing the work to shift them, you’ll notice that the things you want to attract flow SO much more easily to you – because you truly believe you can receive them!
Raising your vibration is more about what you let go of than what you add in, so allow yourself to RELEASE anything that is pulling you down, or out of alignment.
3. Start Thinking About What You Want
You can’t attract what you want if you don’t KNOW what you want. Sounds pretty simple when you say it out loud, right? 😉
I’m sure you can think of a million things you wouldn’t mind having this year – a new car, a million dollars, a mansion…I get it! But, part of having an effective manifestation practice is focusing and prioritizing – so really spend some time thinking about what you want most and why. The more specific you can get about what you want, the clearer your message to the universe will be about what you’re looking to receive. Setting clear intentions is KEY.
One exercise you can play around with is sitting down and writing about your ideal life over the next 12 months. Where are you living? How much money are you making? What do you do for your career? Who are you surrounded by? Spending time visualizing your dream life can help you pinpoint exactly what you truly desire. (Remember, be open to how it comes to you in reality – let the universe bring it to you!)
Once you’re clear on WHAT you want, you’re almost there! It’s important to remember that the things you’re trying to call in aren’t going to come your way until you 1) believe they will, and 2) start embodying the version of you who already has them.
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” This is exactly what you need to do to manifest what you want! Think about the version of you that has everything you’re trying to call in. How do you speak? What do you look like? What kinds of relationships do you have? Embodying this person will AFFIRM to the universe that you are worthy and ready to receive these things.
Remember that everything you want to attract into your life is within your reach – as long as you believe it is!
Manifesting has completely transformed my life over the past few years, and I am so grateful to have a platform where I can share my favorite techniques and practices with other women.
Again, a GREAT way to dive deeper into manifestation is to surround yourself with women who are on a mission do the same thing! If you haven’t yet, check out The Channel Collective membership. We have monthly manifestation parties and activation ceremonies, AND you get full access to interviews and video trainings that will help you take your manifestation practice to the next level!
I hope to see you there so you can start calling in everything your heart desires this year. 🙂

As an entrepreneur, I’m always on the lookout for resources that will help make my life easier! After years of trial and error with different online business tools, these are my favorite apps and programs that can help save you time, money, and stress – so you can focus more of your energy on growing your business.
These seven online business resources have been KEY in helping me create business materials, collect payments, and more.
1. Kajabi – Course Creation
I use Kajabi for all of my courses and communities. ALL of them. This includes No BS Biz School, No BS Grad School, my Psychic Development Course, and The Channel Collective membership. I love it because it makes creating courses and communities so easy, and it allows me to customize each program to fit my brand. When I design courses, I want my students to feel like they are still on MY website – and Kajabi makes this effortless.
Kajabi also offers website hosting, email features, AND the option to create stunning opt-in and landing pages where you can advertise the courses, communities, and resources you want to offer your audience. It’s the PERFECT one-stop-shop for managing your website, email marketing, courses, and private communities. I love having everything in one single platform, instead of using multiple like I used to.
2. Google Drive – Document Creation + Sharing
You’ve probably used Google Drive before, but it’s the main way I organize everything in my business. This is where I house all of my documents for easy access and sort them by folder to make sure nothing gets lost (if you’re an entrepreneur, you know how quickly your files can get out of hand!). One of the biggest perks of Google Drive is that all of the documents are updated in real-time, making it extremely convenient for collaborative work. I can also share documents and folders with my team members and clients, and customize whether they can view, comment, or edit the documents inside. Because of its storage capacity, I like to drop EVERYTHING in here. It’s free to start – and you can easily upgrade your storage if you need to! There’s also an option to sync Google Drive to your computer for easy offline access.
3. Voxer – Business Communication
This app is a little less popular, but I could not survive without it. I use it all the time in my business – and I mean basically all day, every day. It’s essentially an instant messaging app for your phone that you can use for work or personal communication (similar to GroupMe). My favorite part? You can also send VOICE messages! (Anyone who knows me knows I don’t have time to type out all of my thoughts.) This makes it super easy to send messages to my team when I need to be hands-free or I’m busy at my computer. I can talk into my phone, send the message, and know they’ve received all the info they need without having to type out paragraphs. The best part is that you can listen to voice messages on a faster speed (2x, 3x, or 4x) and pause where you need to, unlike iMessage. I like to keep all of my communication here so it’s organized in one app. It’s a lifesaver for me.
4. Canva – Graphic Design
Coming in at #4 is another free app (which also comes with an affordably-priced paid version perfect for solopreneurs). My team and I use Canva daily for my business because it makes graphic design for social media posts, website content, logos, worksheets, and more, SO easy! It’s extremely user-friendly and doesn’t require Photoshop-level skills like so many other graphic design platforms do.
You can export the graphics you make in Canva in a variety of formats (PNGs, JPEGs, PDFs) at any size or resolution you need, so you have complete control over the download of your content. I love that I can add collaborators to my designs so my team and I can work together to make the perfect graphics. Once you create a design, you can always go back in to make a copy or continue editing! I make all of my presentation slides, worksheets, and graphics in Canva.
5. PayPal – Managing Payments + Invoices
One of the most tedious parts of running a business is managing all of the invoices and payments. This is why I love PayPal for sending invoices and making / receiving payments! Through PayPal, you can have both a personal and business account linked to the same bank account, which helps you keep track of all your finances in one place – and it’s SO easy to create and send invoices to clients! You can also set up subscription payments, and you can get a card reader if you want to take credit card payments in person.
6. Calendly – Automatic Booking/Scheduling
If there’s one thing that I truly don’t have time for, it’s back-and-forth emailing trying to schedule something. As an entrepreneur, your schedule can fill up (and change) FAST.
Calendly eliminates the need for back-and-forth emails by offering an automatic booking and scheduling platform for entrepreneurs. With Calendly, I can input my availability, add consultation options (and take payments for them in the paid version), and customize the length of each session so Calendly knows how many sessions to offer per day, and when. When a client books via my link, I get an email, and that slot disappears for other clients – meaning there’s no double-booking! I love using this system for recurring events, like my 7D Healing and Intuitive Guidance Circles.
7. Zoom – Video Conferencing
Oh, Zoom – WHAT would I do without you?! I’m sure you already know about this app, but as a recap: Zoom is a video conferencing platform that allows you to schedule and record video calls that automatically sync with your calendar. You can schedule Zoom meetings with anyone via an email invitation, password-protect private meetings with a unique code, enable a waiting room so your client doesn’t pop in unexpectedly, and more. I also use Zoom to host meetings, client sessions, podcast recordings, live events – basically everything!
Since Zoom has become so much more popular over the past year, most clients are familiar with the platform – and probably also have the app already!
I hope these top business tools and resources help you organize your business and make incredible strides towards growth this year! For more business tips from me, check out my other recent blog posts here. Be sure to comment below if you have any other favorite business tools!

2020 was a crazy year, and you might have found yourself down the rabbit-hole of negativity and low-vibe thoughts at some point. From the challenges the world faces as a whole to the personal challenges you may have dealt with over this past year, many people found themselves feeling stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and emotions. I’ll remind you – LET YOURSELF FEEL. We all go through it, and there is a way to break free from these thoughts so you can immediately feel better and start vibing higher again.
One of the MOST important things I stress to clients is that thoughts are a CHOICE. As tough as it might feel sometimes, you do have the power to shift out of negative thoughts and into more positive ones. Once you do, you raise your vibration and get back on track towards living in alignment.
Today, I’m sharing three simple steps to help you break out of low-vibration thoughts and emotions so you can start shifting your own to live your best life.
1. When you catch yourself experiencing a negative thought, PAUSE.
The first step in shifting out of low-vibration emotions is actually recognizing the negative thoughts (that can sometimes pop up unexpectedly!) that cause them. As soon as you recognize a negative thought, take a minute to pause and challenge yourself to dig a little deeper into the thought. Ask yourself exactly what you’re feeling and why this thought has surfaced. Was there a specific trigger? Do these thoughts happen as part of a pattern? If so, what kind of pattern is it that you notice? Where / how did you learn that pattern?
It isn’t always easy to determine the root causes of thoughts like these, so journaling can be a really helpful way to identify any underlying patterns and triggers. Write down everything you can, and just let your pen flow. What else can you learn from what you’ve written down?
Practicing noticing negative thoughts and stopping them in their tracks will help you become more aware in the future and be able to shift out of them more quickly! You can’t shift what you aren’t aware of.
2. Don’t pressure yourself to go from one extreme to the other.
You don’t have to shift from feeling super down to extreme bliss in just seconds – so don’t put so much pressure on yourself! If you try to force yourself to make a complete 180, you might end up getting frustrated and not making any progress at all.
Instead of focusing on going from one extreme to another, take baby steps and focus on shifting your thought up to the next-highest vibration emotion. You can do this by adding onto the negative thought, like going from “I feel helpless,” to “I know the steps I can take to start feeling better.” – or by thinking, “maybe I don’t feel helpless, but I do feel disappointed in the situation,” and continue to work your way towards a slightly more positive emotion each time. Pick whichever method from above you feel most comfortable with and run with it! These are both great ways to help you shift out of low-vibration emotions into thoughts that leave you feeling better.
3. Slowly work your way up the emotion ladder until you feel ready to move on.
Once you’ve gone from one thought to the next, don’t stop there! Continue working up to the next highest vibration. For example, you might shift from feeling helpless, to angry, to frustrated, to indifferent, to content, and so on. Keep track of your progress by journaling or even jotting down specific thoughts on a piece of paper. This will remind you of how far you’ve come and allow you to continue working your way up the ladder.
Once you feel at peace with your newly-shifted thought, you’ll know that you’re ready to move on. Thank yourself for taking the time to do the work, and find ways to apply these skills to other thoughts and other areas of your life, too!
Once you’re vibing higher, you’ll be a magnet for more positivity in ALL areas of your life. (Remember, “opposites attract” doesn’t apply here – you’ll attract what is your vibrational match)
By shifting your mindset and embracing positivity, you’ll also enhance your ability to manifest what you want. Think about it – it’s SO much easier to attract what you want if you’re in the mindset of being open to receiving than in a negative mindset where you have trouble believing in the possibility of change. Plus, we are manifesting whether or not we are conscious of it, so might as well take control and call in high-vibrational things!
