Hi! I'm Christy Hughes and I am passionate about helping others unlock new levels of confidence through my THRIVE leadership model.
Are YOU ready to rise and THRIVE?
​
Join me in January 2026 for a retreat at picturesque Hideaway Ranch & Refuge. This all-inclusive weekend will provide the tools and vision to propel you to the next step in your personal transformation.

​
Book me to speak to your professional audience, women's group, or on your next podcast. My experience in forging tenacity led me from being a shy wallflower to retreat host, YouTube personality and published author. Your audience may not know how much they can accomplish when they set their mind to it, but I'm here to unlock their confidence!

ABOUT ME
In May 2018, I stopped drinking alcohol. Sobriety reconnected me to a part of myself I'd long kept hidden in order to conform. I unearthed my authentic self, a girl who prioritized kindness but mistakenly adhered to the self-limiting belief: "nice guys finish last".
​
Powered by spirituality found through yoga and recovery, I began to write a kindness blog in Summer 2019. That same year, I traveled all throughout the United States, making new friends and experiencing all the perks my destinations had to offer. I found that by sharing these experiences, I not only inspired compassion in others, I sparked courage and ignited their spirit of adventure! I'm ready to pay it forward and recently left my 30-year retail career to commit to this dream.
​
I've gone from a shy introvert who feared everyone else's opinion to an empowered writer with a tenacious spirit. When I'm not teaching at my yoga studio, The Rooted Soul Yoga + Wellness in Hico, Texas, I am relaxing on our small ranchette south of DFW.
​
I'm here to help anyone who needs to unlock your infinite potential and help you THRIVE with courage and confidence.

"Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently."
-Maya Angelou
