In this episode, Christi answers listener questions and gives her advice on the topics most frequently asked to her.    Take a moment to have a coffee with Christi as she answers some commonly asked questions. She discusses her favorite summer reads, her dislike of cooking, and her advice for choosing the right sorority. Christi does not shy away from more difficult questions like whether it is ever difficult to get out of bed in the morning or how she maintained a healthy marriage during Dance Moms. She gives advice on everything from choosing your first designer handbag to choosing what to do after high school. Her overarching messages for everyone are to be authentic and that anyone can do anything they set their mind to.     Tune into this week\u2019s episode of Christi\u2019s Couch to hear Christi answer questions and give advice on situations ranging anywhere from cooking, relaxing after a vacation, and choosing a sorority. Learn Christi\u2019s life motto, whether she still has the Dance Moms costumes, and why she chose to put Clara in dance in spite of Chloe\u2019s traumatic experiences.    Quotes \u201cDo you still have the Dance Moms costumes? I do. I don't have everything for sure.\u201d (16:06-16:12 | Christi) \u201cI feel like cooking is relentless. Because if you're cooking breakfast, then you have to cook lunch, and then you have to cook dinner and you're constantly in a state of cleaning. I remember my grandmother never leaving the kitchen. She was constantly a short order cook. Something about it I just don't like. So honestly, I don't love cooking. But when I do cook, I am a good cook.\u201d (18:17-18:42 | Christi) \u201cI feel like the first thing that you need to do after you travel in order to reset, is get yourself organized back at home. Which means you need to open up your suitcase and empty it. You need to unpack, wash your clothes, and put them away so that you don't have that suitcase sitting there eyeballing you from across the room at all times.\u201d (22:10-22:31 | Christi) \u201cMy life motto is \u2018I literally can do anything I put my mind to\u2019. That's what I think. I think anyone can do anything you put your mind to.\u201d (29:48-29:59 | Christi) \u201cWhen you're on a reality show, there's an entire crew of people and all of these producers and everything. Everyone's whole goal is to lie and put you in situations that are going to get visceral reactions from you. So you kind of tend to have trust issues.\u201d (34:28-34:44 | Christi) \u201cMy best advice for rushing is do not pretend to be someone you are not because you quote unquote, want to get into the best sorority. Be honest with yourself and choose the sorority that is right for you.\u201d (41:14-41:27 | Christi) \u201cBe as authentically you as possible and find the place that you are comfortable.\u201d (41:55-42:01 | Christi)    Links   FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM CHECK OUT MY TIK TOK WATCH MY LATEST YOUTUBE VIDEO If you've benefited from this episode be sure to tag me @christilukasiak on Instagram and share this episode with your community to spread the word!
