Hi, I am Christina Noel Wyrick. I am a twin mom. I am a widow. I am a leader. I am a daughter. I am a friend. I am a writer. I am a human. These are a few titles I hold and try to navigate on a daily basis. Sometimes I am better at one title than another, somedays I am great at all of them, somedays I suck at all of them, but no matter how broken I feel, I will bravely move forward.
I started using this website in 2021. I posted one blog post and never returned. My entire life I dreamed about becoming a writer, but the fear of vulnerability and judgement continued to hold me back from pursuing my passion. I majored in Journalism in college, but always dreamed of writing books. After college insecurity held me back, so I started to pursue the normal timeline of life. Finding a career that offered 401k and health insurance, finding my love Chad, and starting a family, buying a home, and settling into the normal rat race of life. I was miserable and exhausted by 2020.
After raising twins for three years and working 60 hours a week, I felt depleted and depressed. I thought my dream to write would never come to fruition, because I was now a slave to my job and my family. I fell and broke my leg in 2020 and was given permission to rest. I started therapy, dived deep into self-development and surrounded myself with other friends online that held big dreams like I did, and I started to slowly see that following my dream to author a book was possible beside motherhood and working full time.
It took me until December of 2022 to finally finish the first draft of my book, I was getting ready to start editing my book after deciding to step down from a management position, when my world fell apart. My father died in February of 2023 and a month later my love Chad passed away as well. I was now catapulted into grief and depression again. My dreams once again shattered by the bullshit life throws our way. I was now a single mom navigating life on my own, wondering if my dream of writing was just never meant to be.
I decided to document my grief journey on social media, and it helped me heal, along with therapy and a whole lot of tears and support from family and friends. I decided to honor my dad and Chad by continuing to pursue my dreams and turn my pain into purpose to help others along the way. I decided it was time to fire up the press and start writing again on my website and continue my dream to become an author.
I hope you enjoy the words I share and follow along as I share my journey from broken to braving my purpose again. Words inspire me every day and I hope my writing will help inspire you as well.
