Cristina Baker is a speaker, author, and digital creator whose short videos have brought hope and encouragement to millions. And yet, before she became a voice of inspiration, she was a teen battling addiction, a young mother at rock bottom, and a woman who felt completely alone in the world.
Today, Cristina shares what it was like growing up in a home filled with chaos and instability. She opens up about the choices that led her into a cycle of pain and self-destruction, and how small moments of compassion helped her begin the long road to healing. From a jail cell to a second chance, and eventually to a video that reached millions, Cristina’s story is filled with grit, resilience, and the power of being seen.
My friends, if you’ve ever felt too far gone, too messed up, or too stuck to be used for something good, this conversation is for you. Cristina reminds us that change is possible, even from the lowest points. You’ll leave this episode with a renewed sense of hope, a deeper belief in second chances, and a powerful reminder that your past doesn’t define your future.
