“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” - Paulo Coelho

Fear loves to get in the way. Don’t let it. Even though she knew what she wanted to do, even though she got a full-ride scholarship to do it, Christine Weimer was scared. She turned away from her dream until the call of motherhood opened her eyes to what was important: the pursuit of passion and truth, all in honor of her daughter.

Now, she is a self-published poet and runs Our Galaxy Publishing LLC with her bestie 👯‍♀️. She helps other women build their brands and publish their words. She was able to quit her 9-5 ( ) and now kicks ass at inspiring us all to punch fear in the face, run with the wind, and follow our dreams. ✨
