Hi, I'm Christina

Founder of GROWING HOPE

For the majority of my life, I submitted to the pull of depression and anxiety. The weight of the depression was suffocating and the chaos of the anxiety was relentless. For over two decades my life could be summarized as a fight to survive. But all the clawing and digging couldn't save me from the pit. I needed someone to pull me out of the muck. With the help of my family and mental health professionals, I was eventually able to crawl out of the pit. I simply went from striving to surviving. But I continued to live in the shadow of shame after my suicide attempt. 

The mind is a masterful design. Built as your body's control system, if not constantly renewed, it will dominate your emotions, body and soul. But you don't have to allow it. At Grow(ing) Hope, we teach you how to "take every thought captive" so you can stop striving, skip surviving and start thriving!
