What do you do when life changes unexpectedly—but you know you still have purpose?

In this powerful episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, I sit down with entrepreneur Christina Doracin, owner and president of Inspire Play in Ontario, Canada, to talk about resilience, mindset, faith, business growth, and rebuilding after adversity.

Christina shares how she moved from survival mode as a single mom navigating immense personal challenges… to becoming a thriving business owner with big vision, financial freedom, and a wildly audacious growth plan.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, afraid to think bigger, or unsure how to move forward after hardship—this conversation is for you.

In this episode we discuss:
✨ The mindset shift that changed everything
✨ How to stop thinking small in business
✨ Why business growth starts in the mind first
✨ The power of surrounding yourself with the right people
✨ Moving from survival mode into strategic growth
✨ Small steps that create massive momentum
✨ Faith, vision, and asking for bigger things
✨ How to handle setbacks without quitting

Christina’s story is proof that your circumstances do not define your future.
