Everyday Ordinary Extraordinary Women

Meet Christina Veselak.
Christina, MS, CN, LMFT (in CO) has been a licensed psychotherapist and addiction recovery/relapse prevention specialist for over 40 years. Along with tremendous experience and training in supporting the emotional, social and spiritual components of recovery, her long-time expertise as a mental health nutritionist and training in Western Herbal Medicine allows her to effectively address many of the biochemical aspects of addictive disorders, including sugar, using dietary and supplement recommendations. Her own journey of recovery from PTSD, co-dependency and a myriad of health issues provides her with deep compassion, understanding, and personal experience of hope and transformation.
She is the founder and director of the Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition which teaches practitioners how to use diet, along with amino acid and nutrient therapy to help prevent cravings and recurrent use in their clients by restoring neurotransmitter function and keeping blood sugar in balance. Finally, she is delighted to offer the non-profit organization, Eating Protein Saves Lives, Inc. as a source of life-saving information about optimally feeding the recovering brain, thus providing people with a solid foundation for their recovery journey.
In her spare time, Christina enjoys her church, loves to play the Irish penny whistle and tries to create colorful gardens.

Context:

What would a world look like where we can be inspired by every person?

Usually we are very quick to compare and judge ourselves and others, and when we do that everybody is losing. Depending on my point of view, I can either feel small because I come out lacking; or arrogant and dismissive because I feel superior. Those are the only 2 options. And neither of those options make us feel good

Here is our thought: Someone's everyday normal is someone else's extraordinary. Judgment comes from first impressions. We invite you, the listener, to go beyond first impressions, and see the magic everywhere.

There is inspiration at every corner - in everyone, if we are willing to look.
