(Podcast) She, Who Chooses Faith + Centers Impact - Christina McEvoy
A Podcast Convo with Christina from @macs_explore
Today's guest has not only been a source of inspiration and so many tools for growth for me since I met her a few years ago, she has also built an incredible community of like minded women that has become a place of empowerment for myself and so many others. Christina is a wife, mom of two teen boys, and a three-time cancer survivor.
In 2016, she founded her company, Adventure Together, and the @Macs_Explore Instagram account, where she is a full-time travel creator, working with dozens of renowned brands and destinations all over the world. While inspiring and equipping families to travel and explore near and far. After selling everything and traveling Central and South America full-time starting in 2019, she also founded Insta Success, which is an online membership program that trains and empowers people to build profitable and sustainable travel brands on Instagram.
And if all of that wasn't enough, she also hosts group trips across the globe to destinations like Bali, Iceland, Fiji, and Costa Rica. She is seriously one of my biggest inspirations in travel, mom life, and business, and so much more.

Quotes from the Interview:
"Growth never happens by accident. We're not just made knowing how to deal with challenges that come our way like overcoming anxiety, navigating fear, or impostor syndrome." - Christina
"Faith is everything. Because I feel like faith is more, it's more of an action word. And hope is, the hope to me is just like hoping for something. Faith is like hope in action." - Christina
"I've always kind of lived life like fully, I don't know, I just have that adventurous spirit. But I will say that I'm much more like when it comes to big life decisions. I'm much more methodical I think about everything." - Christina
"Why wouldn't this work out, when my husband, I made that decision to travel full time and actually do it? It was a huge decision, obviously. And at the time, our kids were in eighth grade, and fifth grade. And so they're not little, but they're not old either. And we just thought - this is going to impact their life." - Christina
"I just truly believe that those things that are in your heart that don't go away are meant for you. And this was one of those things like it just never dimmed." - Christina
"I just noticed that what the law of attraction really boils down to, to me is, is our attitude and choosing to remain positive." - Christina
"When you're more grateful, when you're focusing on the things that you have, instead of the things that you lack, you obviously feel better about yourself, right?" - Christina
"I think it's so important to stay aligned with who you really are and true to who you are. Because that's where you're gonna find that personal fulfillment and success to is staying fully aligned." - Christina
"And I think alignment is so important, because I think often we get sucked into something that we think maybe we'll like but then we end up not being fully aligned with it." - Christina
"Faith and fear are both just invisible forces. So why choose fear over faith? Just choose faith?" - Candice
