Meet Heidi: My Journey of Care, Courage & Glow

Meet Heidi: My Journey of Care, Courage, & Glow

✨ Who Am I? ✨

“Be true to yourself, your values, your passions, all your God-given talents, and your own unique journey! You got this!”

Hi friend—I’m Heidi Christianson. 💛

I wear many hats—wife, mom, daughter, sister, certified professional life coach, entrepreneur, domestic goddess, and chief memory keeper for my family’s history. But the roles that shaped me most? Caregiver and breast cancer survivor.

I’ve walked the hard roads—through my Dad’s cancer journey, my Mom’s dementia journey, and my own breast cancer diagnosis. I know what it feels like to give everything to others and forget yourself in the process. I also see the toll of compassion fatigue—because I’ve lived it.

And here’s the truth I’ve learned:
👉 You can’t pour from an empty cup.
👉 Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival.
👉 And it can also be simple, joyful, and empowering.

💧 Why I’m Here

I’m here as your Self-Care Advocate—because self-care is my love language.
I’m also a Founding ABBI Ambassador, sharing skincare that’s not only personalized but also EU-safe, clean, and designed for your unique journey (not the store shelf).

To me, ABBI is more than skincare—it’s self-care in a bottle. A way to honor your story, support your well-being, and help you feel like you again.

But this blog? It’s not just about skincare. It’s about connection, resilience, and remembering that even in life’s messy parts, there’s magic to be found. 🌿✨

🌍 A Little More About Me

I believe in living each day to the fullest—because we never know what’s around the corner. I love moving my body (hello, Pilates 💪), traveling to new places, journaling, reading, and spending time with family and friends. You’ll often find me at the Oregon coast, collecting memories and grounding myself in its beauty.

I’ve worn many hats—and I’m proud of every single one. Each role shaped who I am today and who I’m becoming tomorrow.

🕊️ My Heart in One Sentence

I help women—especially caregivers and breast cancer survivors—honor their journeys, meet themselves where they are, and grow + glow into feeling like themselves again.
