Listen "Not Here To Be Happy"
Episode Synopsis
In this deeply authentic and thought-provoking episode, Christin Collins, a self-described Interconnective Wellness Advocate, joins Mike Mannino Sr. and Nareman Hamdan to explore the truth about personal alignment, healing, and the journey inward.
Christin opens up about leaving behind a high-level corporate career to step fully into a life of service rooted in self-awareness, authenticity, and the belief that well-being begins when we connect to ourselves and others with curiosity—not judgment.
You’ll hear Christin share her “aha” moment about the subconscious mind, how neural pathways shape our perception of reality, and the liberation that comes from realizing your truth isn’t the truth—it’s just yours. She gives practical tools for breathing through discomfort, getting out of your head and into your heart, and navigating life without needing it to always feel happy.
Mike and Christin dive into the concept of being “comfortable in the uncomfortable,” how our guarded hearts can be the biggest roadblock to fulfillment, and why saying “no” is an act of self-respect. Christin also shares her books (Her Phoenix Rising and Be Love), her unique approach to scheduling life as a “gypsy soul,” and how she stopped overplanning to allow space for unexpected opportunities.
