Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina Trifero.
Hi Christina, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I spent most of my twenties and early thirties in Silicon Valley, working in business, brand, and strategy through three startup-to-IPO journeys — Yelp, Zendesk, Asana and Zapier. I’ve had a career in sales, voice acting, and brand writing. I’ve facilitated narrative trauma healing therapy groups for veterans at San Quentin Prison, and am trained in breaking the cycles of Domestic Violence.
For a long time, everything looked and felt like it was clicking. But on the inside, I began running on fumes, making decisions from my head only, and worrying I was disconnecting from my deep sense of inner knowing.
Around the pandemic, I started having these moments — call them intuitive hits, gut feelings, whatever — that I couldn’t ignore anymore. I’d know things before they happened. I’d sense what someone needed before they said it. And instead of writing it off as coincidence, I got curious.
I started studying energy work, got certified as a psychic medium and trained in intuitive development. At first, I thought I was doing it for me — to heal, to understand myself better and break challenging patterns. But the more I leaned into it, the more I realized: this wasn’t separate from my work. It was the missing piece.
So I made a pivot that felt completely insane at the time. I left corporate tech life and started Spiritual Curiosity — a practice that teaches intuition as a leadership skill, not as some woo-woo thing you do on the side. I work with executives, founders, creatives, singers, psychiatrists, actors, and people navigating big transitions who want to lead from something deeper than just logic and hustle.
My clients now include people preparing for TED talks, launching companies, rebranding their entire presence — high-stakes moments where they need to trust themselves more than they trust the data. I also facilitate workshops and retreats and live-events where I answer real questions in real-time.
I moved to Georgia a few years ago because I needed space — literally and energetically. The pace here lets me do this work in a grounded way. And honestly, after years of optimization culture in Silicon Valley, I needed to remember that clarity doesn’t come from speed.
What I do now is help people access their own inner authority — that quiet voice that actually knows what’s right, even when it doesn’t make logical sense yet. It’s not about being psychic. It’s about being present enough to hear yourself.
That’s the through-line: I stopped ignoring my intuition, and now I help other people do the same.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Not even close to smooth. But one of my life’s mantras is “do it scared”.
The hardest part wasn’t leaving corporate — it was admitting out loud what I actually do. When you’ve spent years building credibility in Silicon Valley, telling people you’re a clairvoyant feels like a professional nose-dive. I was terrified of being dismissed, of people thinking I’d lost it, of becoming “that person” who went off the deep end.
I’d take clients quietly. I wouldn’t post about my work. I’d downplay it in conversations. I was trying to do this new thing while still protecting my old identity, and that’s exhausting.
The other struggle has been my health. I’ve been dealing with chronic inflammation and ADHD, which have forced me to completely rethink how I work. There were stretches where I couldn’t show up the way I wanted to. I had to admit I didn’t have it all together in a perfect blueprint. And when you’re teaching people to trust themselves, it feels vulnerable to admit when you’re still working it out yourself.
Those struggles taught me more than the “successful” years ever did and is more of a connection to the work than a separation. They forced me to practice what I preach — to move forward even when I’m scared, to let go of needing to look perfect, to trust that clarity comes through the doing, not the planning. To trust my gifts without needing validation.
I’m still navigating both. But that’s the point — this work isn’t about having it figured out. It’s about being willing to show up and trusting your intuition and energetic frequency of the highest good.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Spiritual Curiosity is a home base for intuitive development, psychic medium 1:1 readings, community, mentorship, and grounded spiritual exploration. I work with smart, sensitive, high-functioning people who want to live with more clarity, connection, and self-trust — people who are curious about what’s real beneath all the noise.
My approach to being a psychic medium is practical and intelligent — I don’t teach intuition as a mystical escape; I teach it as a skill everyone has. My clients are founders, creators, therapists, and executives who want to access their intuitive intelligence and lead from alignment instead of anxiety.
I offer private sessions and coaching, group Intuition Practice Circles, and live workshops like Intuition 101. Each space is intimate, experiential, and focused on giving people a real-time experience of intuition they can feel and apply — not just talk about.
What sets Spiritual Curiosity apart is its tone: it’s energy work without the toxic positivity performance. I’m known for translating the unseen into something usable — language that’s clear, embodied, and free of jargon. My background in corporate strategy gives the work structure; my intuitive training gives it depth. Together, that mix makes the experience both mystical and measurable.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud that everything — from my podcast “Ask a Psychic” to my personal work on Substack to my community circles — centers around accessibility, honesty, and real human connection. I don’t want to be anyone’s guru. I want to remind people that their own inner guidance is already within — they just need to trust it.
I’d love for Atlanta readers to know that my work is growing here, too. I collaborate with people who share my values and integrity, and have made a home here with their work. I host smaller practice circles in Serenbe and virtually, live-psychic events, intuition practice circles and workshops — spaces where people can explore intuition in real time, in community, without pretense.There’s space here — literal space, but also cultural space to do work that doesn’t fit neatly into a box.
Atlanta has this rare thing: it’s sophisticated enough to hold real conversations about leadership and growth, but it’s also open to the intuitive, the energetic, the less tangible parts of how we make decisions. People here aren’t afraid to admit they’re navigating something bigger than a business plan.
My goal is to make spirituality feel intelligent, grounded, and culturally relevant — something that belongs in the room with modern humans, not outside of it.
What does success mean to you?
For me, success is inner alignment. It’s when what I know, what I say, and what I do are all in integrity with each other.
In my old life, success was measured in numbers — funding rounds, IPOs, job titles. Now, it’s measured in resonance. When a client says, “I finally trust myself,” or when a group leaves one of my circles feeling more connected to their own guidance than to me — that’s success.
It’s not about being seen as the expert; it’s about helping people remember they already are.
And I believe this matters beyond the individual. When people trust their intuition, they show up differently in their relationships, their work, their communities. They’re more regulated, more present, kinder to the people around them. That ripples out. When enough people are connected to their own inner authority, it shifts the energy of entire spaces — meetings, families, organizations. That’s how we heal things: one person at a time learning to trust something good both within and outside themselves, which changes how they move through the world, which changes the world.
Success also means having a practice that doesn’t burn me out to maintain. I’m building something sustainable for me and my team now, and making sure they have individual success in their own passions outside of Spiritual Curiosity.
Success is being able to look at life and recognize the goodness and surrender to it.
