Manage episode 492023441 series 3562392
Today, I’m joined by Cristina Pop, an expert in feminine empowerment and feminine business, and founder of THRIVE Cristina Pop Coaching. Cristina, originally from Romania, began her career in the corporate world in Paris, before following her intuition and moving into coaching—long before it was widely understood. She launched her first business in 2012 and later rebuilt it in Switzerland in 2022. Today, Cristina helps women stop running their businesses like men by embracing a more feminine, intuitive, and sustainable approach to success. Join me in this episode to discover how embracing your natural rhythms and feminine energy can help you build a business that doesn’t just grow—but feels aligned, sustainable, and deeply supportive.
