Shut Down, Not Shaken Part 15 (Queens Have Multiple Streams)

Published on: 17th October, 2025

In this episode, Cristin revisits one of her favorite workshops, Queens With Multiple Streams, and reframes it for the present moment. Drawing a connection between the queen in chess and the multifaceted lives of women, Cristin explores how we can use our range, creativity, and strategy to build multiple streams of income and purpose.

She reminds listeners that, like the queen, we have the ability to move in any direction; forward, backward, sideways, or diagonally as long as we move with intention.

This conversation is about alignment, learning to see your gifts, skills, and experiences as divine assets and positioning them so they serve your purpose, your community, and your legacy.

Reflection Questions

What kind of queen am I right now? Bold, patient, strategic, or in need of rest?

How can I diversify my streams without dividing my energy?

What does financial and creative freedom look like for me in this season?

What’s one small move I can make this week to position myself for the next opportunity?
