New Wayz Podcast
The mental health and wellness podcast that’s as real as it gets — with a little humor and a lot of heart. I’m Christina Pehr, a certified life coach and registered nurse, sharing unfiltered stories, fresh perspectives, and lived experiences to help us grow, heal, and show up as our best selves. This is a no-judgment zone where we explore everything from emotional well-being to physical health, mindset shifts, and finding joy in life’s messiness. Sometimes it’s just me, sometimes guests join with their own insights. My goal? To make mental health feel approachable, relatable, and even a little fun, while giving you tools you can actually use.

The Realities of Becoming Yourself:A Real Conversation About Identity, Acting, and Finding Your Path
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Sina Tadayon — an actor, writer, and grad student, and honestly one of the realest humans I know. We get into where his love for storytelling started, what it was like being the class clown, and how he almost took a completely different path before deciding to follow film.
He opens up about what it’s actually like chasing a passion in Hollywood — the pressure, the identity shifts, the moments that make you question yourself, and the ones that remind you exactly why you started. We talk about OCD, self-image, and how your inner narrative shapes the way you show up in the world. And we also dive into the fun side of acting… the escape, the joy, and the weird freedom that comes with stepping into different roles.
This one is raw, honest, and grounding. If you’ve ever questioned your path, struggled with who you’re “supposed” to be, or wondered whether following a dream is actually worth it… this conversation is for you.
Truthfully, this episode is a tribute to the people who don’t always know what’s ahead but keep moving anyway — following their gut, having fun with the process, and riding the ebbs and flows of life. Sina is such a clear example of what it looks like to choose authenticity over expectation and just be yourself.
