Cristina Marie Ferri

who i am

My mission is to inspire women:

• transitioning out of incarceration

• trying to get/stay sober

• recovering from emotional, physical, sexual, or spiritual trauma

• feeling broken and lost

and remind them that God is with us and loves us exactly where we are and as we are,

and to give them a safe place to process all of this. ​

​

I have many layers, which God is always revealing to me & renewing me.

I feel that being transparent is the only way to love myself and in turn love others well. 

​

I am in recovery from substance use disorder, nicotine, codependent relationships,

family trauma, perfectionism, sexual trauma & Christianity.

​

I have been diagnosed and am in treatment for Persistent Depressive Disorder,

Generalized Anxiety Disorder, ADHD Combined & Binge Eating Disorder.

​

I share my story and use my growing edges, weaknesses & awakenings as stepping stones,

so that others may know the grace that has found me.​
