In this deeply moving session, Christine supports Sheylee—a devoted mother who is pregnant with her seventh child and struggling under the weight of shame, overwhelm, and fear. After believing she was done having children, this unexpected pregnancy has stirred painful emotions, identity confusion, and unresolved relational patterns in her partnership.

Christine helps her gently unravel the layers of guilt, inner criticism, and pressure she has carried for years. Together, they explore how to hold two truths at once: loving a child while not feeling joyful about the circumstances, being grateful and overwhelmed at the same time, and honoring both human emotion and spiritual perspective.

If you've ever felt shame for how you feel, feared getting "stuck" in a hard season, or struggled to access compassion for yourself, this conversation offers relief, grounding, and a renewed sense of permission to be honest about your emotional reality.

Consider / Ask Yourself:

• Is there something in your life you believe you "should" feel happy about—but you don't?
• Do you fear that if you let yourself feel your emotions, you won't be able to stop?
• Do you often feel unsupported—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally?
• Are you harder on yourself than anyone else is?
• Do you hear an inner critic more loudly than your own compassion?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Shame about how you feel is often more damaging than the feelings themselves.
• It is possible—and healthy—to hold two truths at once ("both/and").
• Emotional release is not falling apart; it's moving energy through the body.
• Many women confuse caretaking with connection or worthiness.
• Inner critics often come from childhood patterns of control, hypervigilance, or judgment.
• Spiritual support (God, Mother Mary, or a higher loving presence) can hold us when people cannot.

How to Deepen the Work:

• Practice the both/and: "I love this baby AND I am overwhelmed."
• Create space each day to sit with your feelings rather than suppress them.
• Replace harsh self-talk with compassion through simple practices like Ho'oponopono: I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
• Call on unseen spiritual support when human support feels unavailable.
• Identify where old survival strategies are still active—and begin updating them with gentler internal dialogue.
• Explore ways to communicate needs in your partnership with clarity rather than collapse.

In this heartfelt coaching session, Christine works with Jemma, who feels confused and heartbroken after believing that God led her into a relationship that ultimately ended in disappointment. Jemma wrestles with feelings of self-blame, loss, and spiritual doubt as she questions whether she misunderstood divine guidance—or was somehow being punished.

Christine helps her see the situation through a lens of truth and compassion. Together, they explore how childhood wounds shape patterns of self-sacrifice, and how spiritual confusion often arises when we project human expectations onto God. Jemma learns that she hasn't "lost herself"—she was simply operating from childhood survival strategies, and she's now being invited to evolve through love, loss, and faith.

If you've ever felt like the universe led you somewhere painful, this episode will help you find meaning, peace, and trust in a bigger plan.

Consider / Ask Yourself:

• Have you ever felt misled by God or the universe?
• Do you blame yourself when relationships don't work out?
• Do you confuse caretaking or fawning with true connection?
• Are you interpreting disappointment as a sign you did something wrong?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• We often project human disappointment and abandonment onto God.
• "Losing yourself" is actually slipping back into old survival patterns.
• Every relationship can be a stepping stone toward deeper healing.
• Grief and progress can coexist—healing is not linear.
• Compassion for younger parts of ourselves softens relational patterns.

How to Deepen the Work:

• Reflect on how childhood shaped your approach to intimacy and caretaking.
• Replace "I lost myself" with "I shifted into coping—and now I'm returning to myself."
• Journal about how this relationship moved you forward rather than backward.
• Spend time nurturing your inner child—the part of you longing for safety.
• Engage with God or your spiritual source as a loving presence, not a judge.

This story will help you put down the heavy "perfect jar" you've been carrying and reconnect to the part of you that was always enough.

In this powerful coaching session, Christine supports Nina, a high-achieving woman who has learned to rely on herself since childhood—and now wonders why love feels so hard to receive. Despite years of healing and success, she finds herself attracting men who are kind but lack direction, and she struggles to understand whether her independence is strength or self-protection.

Christine helps Nina uncover the difference between healthy masculine energy and overfunctioning rooted in trauma. Together, they explore how early loss and betrayal created hypervigilance, and how surrendering to trust—especially through a deeper spiritual relationship—can open the door to healthy, reciprocal love.

If you've ever been told you're "too strong," or you find it easier to do everything yourself than to receive support, this episode will help you reframe that pattern with compassion and start allowing love in.

Consider / Ask Yourself:

• Do you relate to overfunctioning or feeling like the one everyone relies on?
• Is receiving help or love uncomfortable for you?
• Do you believe you need to have everything handled to feel safe?
• Have you confused control with confidence or independence with strength?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Overfunctioning is often a trauma response, not healthy masculine energy.
• When we've been hurt by men, we often project that hurt onto "the masculine" as a whole.
• Safety must come before surrender—your nervous system needs evidence that love can be safe.
• Healing happens in stages; each relationship can serve as a stepping stone toward healthy partnership.
• True surrender isn't weakness—it's a return to trust, faith, and divine alignment.

How to Deepen the Work:

• Reflect on early memories that taught you to "handle it all" and what beliefs they created.
• Practice receiving in small, everyday ways (compliments, help, rest).
• Replace "I need to fix it" with "I'm open to support."
• Pray or journal: "God, help me align with my most loving and healthy match."
• Remember that trust—both spiritual and relational—is a muscle built over time.

In this episode, I sit down with renowned relationship coach and author Dr. Susan Campbell for a real, practical conversation about communication, connection, and what it takes to create emotionally honest relationships.

We talk about the most common patterns that keep partners from truly hearing each other, how to move from defensiveness to curiosity, and simple tools you can use right away to build more trust and ease in your relationships — romantic or otherwise.

With decades of experience in counseling psychology, she helps individuals, couples, and teams communicate more authentically and navigate conflict with compassion.

In this deeply supportive session, Christine coaches Kelly, who is learning to open her heart to healthy love after leaving a toxic marriage. Kelly recently met someone kind and emotionally available—but her nervous system keeps sending mixed signals, leaving her wondering whether it's intuition or fear.

Christine helps her understand how the body stores memories of past trauma, how to distinguish real red flags from old triggers, and how to gently retrain the nervous system to feel safe in love again. Together, they explore what integration looks like after healing work—when awareness turns into embodiment.

If you've ever questioned your body's signals, struggled to trust love again, or feared repeating old patterns, this conversation will bring deep clarity and compassion.

Consider / Ask Yourself:

• Do you mistake fear for intuition—or intuition for fear?
• Have past painful relationships made it hard to feel safe in love?
• Are you waiting to be "fully healed" before allowing intimacy in?
• How do you respond when someone truly shows up for you?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• The nervous system often reacts to memories, not the present moment.
• Fear can mean danger—or it can mean expansion.
• Integration is the bridge between awareness and embodiment.
• Healing doesn't mean fear disappears; it means you relate to it differently.
• Safe love can still feel unfamiliar—and that's okay.

How to Deepen the Work:

• Journal about how your body reacts when someone is kind, consistent, or loving.
• Write down red flags from past relationships to clarify what's truly unsafe.
• Practice "titration": letting love in slowly, without judgment.
• Notice when your nervous system feels unsettled and speak to it with compassion.
• Remind yourself: you can feel fear and stay open to love.

You've attended the retreats, read the books, done the therapy—so why does everything you've learned still live in your head and not your life? In this episode, I introduce Emerge 2025, a 3-month intimate group coaching and teaching container design

Do you ever feel like you're too self-aware? You can name every childhood wound and pattern… yet your inner critic still takes over?

In this episode, Christine guides you through a 5-minute somatic shift so you can stop mentally analyzing your Inner Critic — and start embodying freedom from it.

You'll learn:

• Why insight alone doesn't create transformation

• A simple practice to shift from self-judgment to self-leadership

If you're self-aware but still stuck… this is for you.

In this heartfelt and relatable session, Christine coaches Mischa—a high-achieving, only child who's used to getting what she wants and is now navigating a season where nothing seems to be going her way. After leaving a toxic job and experiencing disappointment in love, Mischa feels stuck in what Christine calls an expectation hangover: the emotional crash that comes when reality doesn't match our hopes.

Together, they explore how unmet desires are not punishments but powerful invitations to grow. Christine helps Mischa see how her childhood pattern of being soothed by "getting what she wanted" now limits her ability to self-soothe and find peace when life doesn't deliver. This episode invites all of us to stop labeling difficult seasons as problems—and instead recognize them as sacred opportunities to develop resilience, self-worth, and inner stability.

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the work but life just isn't "flowing," this conversation will help you see that you are in flow—just on a deeper, soul-centered level.

Consider/Ask Yourself

• Are you in a season where it feels like you just can't get what you want?
• Do you find your worth tied to achievement, attention, or validation?
• When life doesn't go your way, do you resist or allow yourself to feel the disappointment?
• What might shift if you learned to find safety and love within yourself—no matter what's happening externally?

Key Insights and A-HAs

• Expectation hangovers aren't setbacks—they're realignments.
• True freedom comes when we stop needing things outside us to validate our worth.
• Discomfort is not failure—it's emotional strength training.
• We repeat childhood patterns until we consciously choose new responses.
• Flow isn't always about ease; sometimes it's about deep integration and recalibration.

How to Deepen the Work

• When things don't go your way, pause and ask: "What is this season teaching me?"
• Sit with disappointment rather than rushing to fix or distract from it.
• Journal about times when you've equated love or safety with "getting what you want."
• Practice self-validation by naming three things you're proud of—no external approval required.
• Reframe "stuckness" as a recalibration period where your soul is upgrading your inner strength.

Upcoming Program
