What if you didn’t have as much time as you think you do? It might be an uncomfortable question, but it can also bring incredible clarity to the way you’re living your life right now.

In this episode of Leading With Heart, I’m joined once again by transformational wellness educator, certified grief coach, retired U.S. Air Force officer, and bestselling author Christina Stiverson for a conversation about mortality, meaning, and what it really means to live with intention. We talk about the identities we build around our roles, accomplishments, military service, and responsibilities, and what can happen when we create enough space to ask ourselves what actually matters. Christina also shares how losing her daughter Addie changed the way she thinks about her own legacy and why your legacy isn’t something you leave behind someday. You’re creating it through the way you live, love, and show up today.

In This Episode:

• Why thinking about mortality can actually help you live with more intention
• How military service can shape your identity, values, and definition of success
• Why grief can show up through transitions, PCS moves, retirement, and changes in identity
• What it means to separate who you are from your roles, rank, and accomplishments
• How Christina uses the five mirrors of meaning, awareness, relationships, preparation, and legacy
• Why your legacy is something you are actively creating every day

Christina will also be joining us inside the Lead Your Life app as our September guest coach for a four-week Live With Intention experience. Together, we’ll move beyond listening and actually create space to examine what matters, where you may be living on autopilot, and how you want to use the life you have right now.

More about Christina Mattison and the Leading with Heart Podcast
Hey there! I'm Christina Mattison, an Air Force Officer, yoga teacher, dedicated wife, and proud mother of two. But most importantly, I'm here as a wellness and leadership coach for women in the military. I want you to know something: It doesn't have to be this way.

I've walked in your combat boots, and I understand the chaos that often accompanies military life. But I'm here to share a powerful truth with you: You have the innate ability to transform your own life. I've personally experienced this transformation, and I've witnessed it in the lives of countless clients I've had the privilege to guide.

Welcome to the Leading With Heart podcast your ultimate resource for discovering how to infuse joy, peace, and true success into every facet of military life.
