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.
Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and conversational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice or a substitute for professional care. Sensitive topics may be discussed. My intent is never to harm, offend, or be prejudiced. I speak from lived experience with a genuine desire for everyone’s well-being.
