Serendipity: Finding Magic in the Unexpected

Featured Author

Crissy Florio

Crissy Florio is a proud mom of two, wife to her high school sweetheart, devoted sister, loving daughter, doting aunt, dog mom, yogi, and friend to many. A breast cancer thriver, Crissy was diagnosed in 2020—a moment that shifted her perspective and led her to embrace a combination of traditional and holistic practices for healing.

By using contemporary medical treatments with the transformative power of her Mind, Body, Heart, and Soul (MBHS), Crissy cultivated a path of grace and resilience through one of life’s greatest challenges. Her journey is a testament to the healing power of inner calm and connection, even in the face of a cancer diagnosis.

Today, Crissy uses her experience to inspire and empower others affected by cancer to live with purpose, connection, and peace. Through workshops, speaking engagements, yoga classes, and her writing, she helps others tap into their inner strength, foster positive energy, and reclaim a life of thriving—not just surviving.

Crissy’s mission is to help others unlock their MBHS potential, proving that healing is not just about survival, it’s about rediscovering the joy, beauty, and power within.

She is excited about her newly released book, “For the Love of Jugs: A Breastie’s Guide, Creating Grace and Ease Through Your Breast Cancer Journey” which will be released by Raven + Grace Press, on  Feb 23rd.
