Cristina Rose

Cristina Rose is a mom, entrepreneur, and author who somehow makes chaos look stylish. As the host of Not Your Momma’s Podcast, she created a space where women could learn from experts on everything from burnout and health to fitness and finding balance—because life doesn’t come with a manual (but a good podcast helps).

Through her brand Living with Cristina, she brings it all together: health, hustle, and a whole lot of heart. Whether she’s working on her next creative project, writing a book, or managing snack time negotiations, Cristina’s mission is the same—to help women chase big dreams without losing themselves along the way.

She believes ambition and motherhood don’t cancel each other out—they just require better calendar management and really good coffee.

Cristina Rose is a storyteller, entrepreneur, and full-time mom—sometimes all at once. With a background in podcasting and a talent for turning life’s messy moments into meaningful ones, she brings humor and heart to everything she does.


She’s passionate about helping women carve out their own path, whether that’s through business, creativity, or just getting through the day with a sense of humor. When she’s not writing or building something new, Cristina is likely wrangling her kids, warming up the same cup of coffee (again), or working on her next idea.


Desert Nights is just the beginning—Cristina’s got more stories to tell, and she’s just getting started.
