SURVIVAL GUIDE

The CSA Survival Guide is an independent audio series created, produced, and hosted by me, Christina Mokwa — centered on creating a space for survivors of child sexual abuse to share their stories.

Founded on the basis of empathy-driven storytelling as a vehicle for collective healing, the podcast debuts season one fearlessly telling my own story, following my intuition to uncover the intergenerational trauma, deception, and legacy of childhood sexual abuse within my own family.

He was never able to take that from me – my ability to love.

Support from Community

“Christina is an overcomer. Her ability to share her story of abuse, and her choice to serve others — even through the horrific abuse she experienced at the hands of a family member — is remarkable. I was honored to have her on the podcast. I’m so proud of her, and everything she will accomplish.”

Clark fredericks

(SWU Alum, CSA Survivor, SOCIAL MEDIA PERSONALITY, PUBLIC SPEAKER, AUTHOR + FRIEND)

“The fact that Christina still has the capacity to love so deeply after everything she has survived is nothing short of an inspiration — as most who endure this level of abuse do no make it out the other side. I know our conversation on the podcast will help so many.”

PAUL NOOTBAAR

(SWU Alum, CSA Survivor, PSYCHEDELIC GUIDE, TRAUMA COACH, FATHER + COMMUNITY PARTNER)

“Christina brings an energy that's simply magnetic, making any collaboration not just productive but profoundly inspiring. Her expertise in plant medicine and psychedelics is unmatched — blending deep professional knowledge with a genuine compassion that resonates in every conversation. Christina’s understanding of human nature — from pain and grief to healing and growth — is both comforting and empowering. Speaking with her leaves you with a renewed sense of hope and assurance that there are truly remarkable souls like hers guiding others toward healing. If ever there were angels among us, Christina would surely be one.”

Amanda RAE KIJINSKI

(PODCAST CREATOR + HOST, MOTHER + FRIEND)

"Christina's empathetic and flexible approach to creative collaboration transformed a process that can often feel draining into something truly energizing and inspiring. Christina effortlessly combines a relaxed, charming demeanor with a level of professionalism that is mature and reassuring. Her ability to bring out the best in a project — maintaining such a positive atmosphere — is a rare gift. Her humor, attention to detail, and expansive empathy shine through in every interaction — as well as every piece she works on. I couldn't have asked for a better collaborator as an artist — and I look forward to many more creative projects together."

KATHERINE ALT

(MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST, BUSINESS OWNER, CREATIVE COLLABORATOr + MOTHER)

"Christina's willingness to be vulnerable, open, and honest about her abuse — for the purpose of helping others — is incredibly selfless. She skillfully tells her story with patience and intense emotion. To say her resilience is inspirational is a massive understatement. Dedicating her life to guiding others on their healing journeys is the ultimate act of empathy. I am grateful and blessed to have had Christina share her wisdom and experiences with me — and my audience.”

Todd Rennebohm

(Mental health care advocate, suicide attempt survivor, speaker, AUTHOR + PODCAST CREATOR)

  • "Christina has spoken so well, and with such bravery. Though her pain is palpable, and her account harrowing, she has learned to live with joy – and is driven to share this hope with others. I'm very grateful to Christina for sharing her story – and for her continued support of the Something to Say Movement."
