Mic Drop Moments:
“We contain multitudes. Allowing the space to be completely whole of who we are can be one of the most beautiful ways to be alive in this world.” – Christina Trifero
“You don’t have to burn your whole life down to create space for change—but you do need to let go of something.” – April Roberts
“Stop painting yourself with one brush. You can be multiple things, and there’s room for all of it.” – Megan Chamberlin
Who are Christina Trifero & Megan Chamberlin?
Christina Trifero: I am an Intuitive Life Coach, and live in the intentional wellness community, Serenbe. The cherry on top is that I’m both a psychic medium (so I can channel spirit guides directly), and I’m also clairsentient (so I do energy restoration/energetic trauma release). I ground our work in spirituality, and although I don’t believe in a “book of fate” I can uncover direct future insight when appropriate. Ultimately, I empower and teach people to harness their own intuitive abilities and transcend into the highest vibration and surrender so that they can show up in the world with more love and trust— having a ripple effect on humanity as a whole. Here’s a bit more of my “resume”: – Oprah’s Executive Producer regularly features me as a live expert on paid membership platforms, and I have had the highest turn-out of any live calls. Relationship expert Mark Groves is another example of a guest who was featured on this platform (and more you’d likely know). – I am asked to be a guest on podcasts that discuss spirituality, wellness, life and executive coaching, how to find out your own psychic abilities, and more. An example is Katie Hendricks with Sophie Chiche (you might know her from the book The Big Leap). – I partner with Executive Coaches — while they work on the practicality and systematic approach I uncover and support the emotional places they are blocked to get what they want. An example is Darrah Brustein who you know. – I partner with aligned “influencers” in the space I am hired as the “psychic medium / Spirit Guide meditation experience” for several sold-out wellness luxury retreats to give guests a quality experience
Megan Chamberlin: I’m a creative entrepreneur, writer, and DIY expert who’s all about helping people tap into their creative spark and focus their passions into impact, influence, and income. As the founder of C’mon Get Crafty, I’ve built a platform that blends real-life practicality with inspired ideas, making creativity accessible and fun for anyone looking to balance life, work, and personal goals. After stepping away from a six-figure corporate career, I took the leap into building a life that blends creativity, intention, and flexibility. I’ve learned firsthand what it means to pivot with purpose. My background as a corporate VP with a Fine Arts degree and years of experience as a working actress means I bring a unique blend of business acumen and creative expertise to the table. My journey has taught me to embrace the unexpected and lean into what lights me up—and that’s the energy I bring to everything I do. I specialize in empowering women to approach their goals and challenges with confidence and creativity. In my corporate life, I mentored my team through actionable insights, to help them get out of their own way and make things happen. That is what invigorated me each day. Now, through my blog, workshops, and creative communities like Holiday Magic Makers and Crafty De-Stash Group, (and especially my upcoming group program), I empower others to embrace imperfection, find joy in the process, and thrive creatively. My approach combines practical business strategies with a Creative Edge and my signature dry humor, offering the relatable lessons that come from going all-in on a life designed on your own terms.
