Christina Hallis facing down online criticism with a new perspective.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, theChristina on the Coaststar, 39, opened up about dealing with online haters and why they don’t get to her as much as they used to.
“I allow myself a little time to be upset,” she revealed to PEOPLE, “and usually the things that upset me are when people make direct statements about things they have no idea about. Sometimes that’ll really irritate me and then I’ll talk to [my husband]Joshabout it.”
Christina has been the target of criticsexpressing their thoughts on her parentingand inclusion ofher kids on her social media, in particular, with regard to her youngest son, Hudson, 3.

TheFlip or Flopalum continues: “The thing is, people already have a preconceived notion in their head. You could literally show them the truth and they could still be like, no, that’s not the truth.”
After allowing herself to be upset for a short time, she says, she then moves on and remembers, “I have a great life and I can’t be focused on pleasing everyone.
The ability to block out bullies also came with age, she says. “I think the older I get, the less I care. I’m approaching 40 in a few months and what I’ve heard is, in your forties, you’re the most confident and comfortable in your own skin.”

“I really want to start my own home line — like a Christina collection-type thing,” she tells PEOPLE. “So that’s something we’re working on right now, getting that in a big box store. Hopefully that comes into fruition next year.”
She adds that she’s looking to start “an online seminar course on manifesting, creating wealth in your dream life. I think that could be pretty cool.”
In addition to tackling her upcoming projects, Christina is looking forward to the premiere ofChristina in the Country(a spin-off of her California-based home renovation show,Christina on the Coast)airing Jan. 12. The new limited series will debut the flips she and Josh have been working on in Tennessee as they spread her design business down South.

With enough space to house all her chickens (and soon mini donkeys and goats), the designer, who splits her time between California and Tennessee, says she has fallen in love with the country life andhopes to retire there with Josh.
“It’s the best,” Christina tells PEOPLE. “It’s definitely where we’ll retire. I would love to do the opposite [of what I do now]: I would love to live there full time and then have a cute little beach cottage in California, in La Jolla, that we hop back to.”
