Christi's Couch
84 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 1.1K ratingsChristi Lukasiak was one of the original Dance Moms, the fierce and funny mom who wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. Now, a few years older and wiser, Christi Lukasiak is still fierce and funny. In her new podcast, Christi's Couch, she gets candid about her experiences, gives advice about growing up, and encourages you to become the best version of yourself, while having a little fun along the way. Each week, Christi will chat with experts, entertainers, celebrities, boss babes, and also a few old friends to bring you practical insight for navigating life in these chaotic times! Hopefully you’ll laugh a lot, maybe cry a little, learn a thing or two, and realize it’s ok to screw up. Like Christi always says, it's the journey that matters, not the destination.
