ABOUT THE HOST:
I’m Christen Rodgers, a full-time traveler, energy coach, blogger, and now podcaster. In July 2020, I decided to create some space from all I had been and known to pursue a life I had never experienced, but one my SOUL insisted existed. One of peace, presence, abundance, joy, connection, flow and ease. Thus, Create the Space Podcast was born. It’s happening, so I invite you to come along for the ride!
