56 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 month ago - ★★★★★ - 1 ratingThis is One Luckygirliegirl — the podcast where I talk about random stuff with my awesome friends. I’m Christina Aldan.
Growing up in poverty in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I remember lying down in the tall grass and staring up at the sky, trying to escape the trauma being inflicted on me and dreaming of moving out of my small town. I never would have believed that I'd be lucky enough to build a career as an international speaker, trainer, and brand consultant but that’s where I am today.
I have traveled the globe, speaking in front of thousands about how they can create their own luck, just like I did. I’ve met a lot of cool folks along the way and this show is a chance to grab time with some of the best people I know and talk. I hope you enjoy these conversations as much as I do.

06 - Ceciley Gallac "Playing hooky on my show"
March 15, 2021 19:00 - 28 minutes - 13 MBI met Ceciley through a mutual friend about 3 or 4 years ago. Since she works in the casino industry, it's convenient for us to meet in Downtown Las Vegas after work for food, drinks, or other events. We always have a blast together. Her quick-witted and candid way of telling stories just cracks me up. These are the everyday moments with friends that I have missed since the novel coronavirus interrupted our lives. I look forward to having in-person conversations again, but until then, you ...

February 27, 2021 00:53 - 43 minutes - 20.3 MBIf there was a conversation where you want to be a fly on the wall, this is it. Leisa and I have been friends for ...wooooo! 8 years? 9 years? I tell her that I measure the timeline of our friendship by the age of her kids. I think I was mentoring her daughter, Kyndl, when she was just becoming a teenager. And then her other wonderful daughter, Kevyn. And now they both have blossomed into smart, helpful, headstrong young women. I enjoy hanging out with ALL of Leisa's kids and I think that ...

03 - Jeff Strauss
January 21, 2021 20:00 - 48 minutes - 20.1 MBI wasn't sure about putting out any content lately. I was supposed to put out this interview last month, but the political climate in the United States has just been tumultuous, what with that armed milita storming the US Capitol. It's been quite chaotic. Regardless, it seems like governments are beginning to distribute the COVID vaccines and the United States is moving forward from the failed coup, so I decided to put out this podcast episode that I recorded in November with one of my favor...

Listen to this interview as we discuss overcoming poverty, bullying, and his new documentary "Hello World" which will be released on December 15th to encourage diversity and in...
