What is an outdated system or beliefs you have clearly questioned or even outgrown?
I will go first💚

04/01/2026

Living in this modern world can feel heavy sometimes.
We have instant access to everything, all the time.

We’re told to “turn it off,” set better boundaries, go outside, exercise more, do all the things…
No wonder we’re tired. No wonder we’re burnt out.
It’s a system overload — and we weren’t meant to live this way.

What if you slowed down intentionally?
What if you said no to a few things?
Turned your phone off for the day…
Took a drive and listened to your favorite album…
Walked in the woods and listened to the rain…
Soaked in the tub…
Made a meal with time and love…
Wrote a letter, made art, or simply rested?

Or…
came to a relaxing yoga class. 🧘🏻‍♀️✨

I’d love to hold space for you this week:

Real Estate 2026 Goals | 1.5 Years In

Contemplation and contentment
😮‍💨😮‍💨

This is going to be a long one, but I want to share my journey in real estate in case it helps someone else who might be struggling in a similar way. 💚

I’m sharing this here on my wellness/yoga page because yoga isn’t just something I practice on the mat — it’s how I move through my work, my relationships, and my life. The lessons of awareness, honesty, and alignment show up everywhere, including real estate.

Truth is, I thought about quitting real estate several times this year.
I had to get really clear on why that was.

I’m not struggling because I’m bad at real estate.
I’m struggling because traditional real estate culture isn’t built for how I’m wired.

• I build trust naturally
• I read people well
• I care deeply about homes as lived-in spaces, not just assets
• I’m community-rooted (Albany, Lebanon, Corvallis)
• I excel at education, holding space, and guiding big decisions

I’ve already closed deals, hosted open houses, built relationships, and shown consistency.
These are elite skills — they just don’t always show up well in hustle-bro metrics or social media highlight reels. 🙂‍↔️

What’s been draining me (and it’s not the license):
• Constant comparison to louder agents
• Pressure to niche, post, grind, and perform
• Feeling like I have to be “on” even when my energy is low
• Switching identities all day (Realtor → Yoga teacher → Entrepreneur → Caregiver)

I realized I created my own identity fatigue — not failure.
👀🪞👀

The real question became:

Do I want to pursue real estate the way I’ve been told it has to be done — or the way I actually do things well? 🤯

Because those are two very different paths.

I’m in a recalibration, not an ending. 💫

I’m continuing real estate this year with clearer boundaries, fewer expectations, and a version of this work that actually supports my life.

That’s not quitting — that’s maturing as an agent.

Hi neighbors 💚
It’s me, Christina B. I just wanted to invite you to come find a little balance during this busy season.

If you’re looking for a meaningful gift to share with friends or family — or some much-needed self-care time to fully relax and reset — community yoga is a beautiful place to start.

My community classes:
• Sunday 5–6 PM | Lebanon studio
• Monday 9:30–10:30 AM | Albany studio

There are so many class styles and workshops to choose from, and your membership works at both locations. I love that the studio offers everything from very gentle yoga to hot power yoga, plus workshops that support self-inquiry and are welcoming for beginners.

Come as you are — I’d love to see you on the mat. 🧘‍♀️✨

The quiet practice of coming home to yourself.

You are enough.
You are worthy of goodness.

And when s**t hits the fan — because it will — the real work becomes:

✨ How can I learn?
✨ How can I grow?
✨ Where is my baseline?
✨ Where is my center?

Out here — grounded and steady — I’m reminded of the Niyama Santosha:
the art of finding contentment right where you stand.
Not in perfection… but in presence.
Not in having it all together… but in meeting the moment honestly.

Santosha is the line between the peaks and the valleys — the place where growth becomes grounded, not chaotic.

This is the foundation of Rewired:
a program rooted in the Niyamas, nervous system awareness, and a personal code of ethics that helps you return to yourself again and again.

Rewired is for the people ready to invest in themselves —
the ones who want empowerment, not just information.
The ones who are done repeating old patterns and ready to create real inner change.

If this speaks to you… stay close.
We’re just getting started. 💚🧘🏻‍♀️

Sunday night
Soul to Soul 💚💜

07/12/2025

When I host an open house 🏠, I like to take my time in between visitors—sitting, imagining, and feeling into what day-to-day life might be like in the home. I walk the floors, notice the little details that make the space unique, and even picture what I’d change or where my own belongings would go.

You see, it’s easy to unlock a door 🚪 and walk people through a property…
But real estate becomes something deeper when clients start asking the real questions—the ones that require honesty, experience, and heart.

People don’t just want a tour.
They want trust.
They want your perspective.
They want a relationship, not a transaction.

And that’s the part of this job I love the most. 💚

“Somewhere between the questions and the quiet moments, I find myself again.
Teaching, learning, reflecting… becoming.

And in those still moments — journal open, breath steady — I remember why I do this work:
to help people come home to themselves, one mindful pause at a time.”
