Rev. Chris Flynn
My Journey
When I was a child, I used to blur my eyes to understand
what the priests and nuns really meant! I would play catechism with
anyone who’d listen to me. I’d teach them what the nuns were actually
trying to teach us about God. Then, at 10 years old, my dad brought
home “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and “Think and Grow
Rich”. I devoured both books and I knew I was on to something! As a 10
year old, Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie became my mentors. About the
same time a song “Just Call Me Pollyanna” (Doris Day, Every Body Loves
a Lover) became popular. It became my theme song.
Since those early years of the 1950’s, when I gathered playmates in my backyard classroom, I’ve been passionate about helping people better understand their own spirituality and their connection to God. I decided in 8th grade that I would become a Music Therapist. But somewhere in high school my blue-collar family guided me towards secretarial classes. No one in my family had gone to college. So this was the blue-collar answer to what I would do if my husband broke his leg and I’d have to get a job.
Well, thankfully, God did have a wider vision for me. In the early 1970’s I fell into a job as an activity director in a skilled nursing facility. Working with elderly people inspired me to earn my degree in Gerontology. Finding the value of touch with my aged clients also led me to several certifications in therapeutic massage.
Raising two boys, I found working several part time jobs preferable to a 40 hour week. At one point, I was the director of a senior citizens center and their home-delivered-meals program, while also being the massage therapist for the local YWCA. I loved the contact with both communities.
Then God showed up again and directed me to write a proposal to my local Unity Church to create a new position as their “Outreach Coordinator”. Their board accepted and off I went, visiting the sick in the hospitals, starting a singles ministry, volunteer coordinating, and working the “back of the church” on Sunday mornings.
Working the back of the church meant I had the privilege of supporting Unity ministers and the fabulous workshop presenters that came to town. Jack Boland taught me to Master Mind, and I’ve been practicing the principles ever since. After five years of working in Unity churches I became an ordained metaphysical minister and received my Masters in Divinity through The University of Metaphysics.
In 1989, the earth shook in my part of California, and I fully stepped into my calling. I founded a singles ministry, Conscious Connections Community, which ran for over 15 years. I added Reiki and clinical hypnotherapy to my tool belt and have continued to see clients in weekly groups, workshops, retreats and individually.
What excites me most today is assisting others who are ready to step into their calling. Some of my clients are mid-life, career changing people. Others are approaching retirement and wanting to live with a sense of PURPOSE. It is just so thrilling to encourage, inspire and support individuals who want to make a difference in the world.
Now, just beginning the last third of my life at age 62, I resonate with the words of James Dillet Freeman, founder of Unity Church, “I fairly sizzle with zeal and enthusiasm to do the work that is mine to do.”
My small coaching groups seem to go deeper and deeper, moving us along our own personal spiritual path, all the while, enabling us to take our work out into the world in a manner that speaks of our essence and our purpose, while empowering others. My coaching clients bring me great joy. I know the ripple affect of their work will touch thousands.

I could not more highly recommend anyone as a Sacred Commerce
Coach and Teacher than Chris Flynn. She is amazing! Insightful,
wise, wonderful and inspired, she not only talks the talk, but she
walks it as well. Chris is dedicated to her work in service to helping
others make their own dreams come true.
Truly, in our 5 weeks of class so far, I have moved light years in
the direction of clarifying and bringing forth my soul's work.
You could not go wrong in working with Chris.
