E27. There’s no time for busy work around here, with Christa Gagnon

Christa Gagnon is a woman who wears many hats.  Being blessed with a daughter with a terminal illness has shaped the trajectory of her career and passions.  Her daughter is her world and she is on a mission to bring awareness and find a cure. Christa is an advocate and knows the importance of her voice.  She has been an entrepreneur and business owner for the past 20 years and just recently stepped into the nonprofit space as a brand manager.  It is Christa's goal to create community and bring people together.  She shares her experience with the pain and grief that comes with being a caregiver to help others know they are not alone.  She is excited that she has reached the portion of her life where she is able to give back and help others.

On today’s episode I chat with Christa about life, business, and her daughter’s terminal diagnosis.
