In addition to running her successful private practice for the past 15 years, Christy has taken her expertise far beyond her coaching business. Christy has been a featured TEDx speaker and leadership consultant for Fortune 500 companies and developed the UPROOT curriculum, a proprietary 15-week leadership course, which is the basis for her transformational work.

Christy’s lifelong dedication supporting women’s leadership has led to her role as an advisory board member for TEDxCherryCreekWomen. As a former TEDx presenter herself, Christy works with TEDx speakers to guide presenters to stand in their own power and share an idea worth spreading with the world.

The TEDx platform has been a perfect medium to enable Christy to support women in using their voices to share their ideas on a global stage.

In 2022, Christy launched her first book, Oh God of Second Chances, Here I am Again. The book later inspired the podcast, NEW you, Network for Empowering Women. The podcast features an array of talented open-hearted guests and their thoughtfully curated stories of second chances, life-changing choices, and new perspectives.
