Christie Garcia is a passionate and introspective thought leader whose journey began with a deep dive into the intricacies of the human ego. Recognizing the reactive and emotionally charged nature of modern life, Christie became fascinated by the unintentional behaviors, mindsets, and beliefs often unknowingly cultivated within individuals and organizations.
