About Christina

After years in the corporate world as a marketing director, Christina Bernhard found herself with a dream of freedom she couldn’t shake. Her dream was freedom to travel where she wanted while doing what she loved, but she didn’t have the confidence to make it happen.

Now she found a way to navigate through her own limiting beliefs to leave the corporate world, build her business, and trade all of her things for a backpack of clothes to travel the world. Her mission is to help business owners scale to their own versions of freedom through profitable Facebook ads and high converting funnels.

Before even thinking about buying Facebook ads, you need to do this!

Is your goal to have a successful podcast? Do you want to grow your podcast listener base and keep them around for a long time? Do you ultimately want to monetize your podcast? Then you need to map out your listeners’ journey.
