About Christine

I did not come this far to shrink for anyone.

I'm Christine. For seventeen years I lived inside coercive control, holding up a facade built to be admired while it quietly took me apart. Nobody around me could see it. So I kept a record, so my children would one day have proof of what we lived. That record became The Truth She Showed Me. It turned out to be a map.

I'm a mother of two. I'm a Director at a Fortune 500 and an MBA graduate, which mostly means I'm very good at recognizing patterns, a skill that took me far too long to point at my own life. I live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and I say what I mean.

The book moves through three voices: the Mother who protected, the Survivor who knew, and the Sovereign who came back to herself. Healing isn't one version of you. It's all of her, coming home.

Now I talk about this every week on TikTok and YouTube, I speak to rooms that need to hear it, and I put free copies into shelters, because she shouldn't have to afford the words.
