Every month inside The BackRoom, someone rises to the top - meet (October winner) Not because they shout the loudest.
Not because they post the most polished shit.
But because they show up like a real human.
And this round?
That human is @Chrisafina — and she earned this spotlight with pure connection, consistency, courage… and a whole lot of messy-real magic.
This isn’t a “cute little shout-out.”
This is a full celebration of someone who’s actively becoming the next version of herself in real time.
So I pulled her into a call and we went deep — and trust me, you’re going to feel this one.
We talked about
🔥 Walking away from a 24–25 year “safe” career with no map, no neat plan B, and a whole lot of guts
🔥 The moment she hovered over the resignation email, stomach in knots, and hit SEND anyway
🔥 How she blends coaching + mentoring + reflection + lived experience to help people wake the hell up🔥 Why the people she works with aren’t a demographic — they’re a mindset
🔥 The ripple effect of backing yourself (kids notice, friends notice, YOU notice)
🔥 How The Back Room gave her the space to get bolder, braver, clearer, and louder in her message
This conversation is for anyone who knows they’re playing small…Anyone who’s been ignoring the nudge…Anyone who feels that throat-lump, chest-tight, “I can’t unknow this anymore” moment creeping in.
