Slowing Down Isn’t Falling Behind: A Reset for High Achievers

After a month away, I’m sharing where I’ve been and why I’m intentionally slowing down instead of pushing harder. In this episode, Christina talks about focus, alignment, and why high achievers don’t need more goals—they need more clarity. If you’ve been feeling burned out, disconnected, or questioning why you’re doing what you’re doing, this is an invitation to pause, reflect, and realign.

As the New Year approaches, the pressure to go all-in can feel overwhelming—especially for high achievers. In this episode, I’m sharing a personal reflection on what committing to just once a week taught me about progress, regulation, and sustainable growth. Instead of asking “What do I want to achieve?”, I invite you to reflect on a more grounding question: How do I want to feel this year—and what small, consistent practices can help me get there?

Anxious attachment isn’t about being “too much”—it’s about nervous system regulation. In this episode, Christina explores how we learn to adapt ourselves in relationships, why we attach to external sources of safety, and how learning to regulate yourself is the foundation of secure attachment.

In this episode, I explore why we often rush toward what’s next without fully letting go of what was, and how avoiding grief can keep us stuck. A grounded reflection on change, loss, and what it really takes to move forward.

In this episode, Christina breaks down why high achievers struggle to trust themselves—even when there’s evidence they’re capable. Learn how to stop overthinking, release the need for external validation, and rebuild self-trust so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.

In this episode, I break down the real reason you feel confused in dating and relationships: capacity. Not chemistry, not intensity — capacity. We talk regulation, consistency, repair, and how to tell if someone can actually hold you on their average days, not just their best ones.

In this episode, Christina is breaking down why high achievers struggle to be present and how constantly rushing into the future keeps us from experiencing the life we’re actually building. If you’ve been feeling stuck in “what’s next,” this is your reminder to slow down, appreciate what is, and create space to actually feel your life again.

If grabbing your phone the moment you start driving has become second nature, you might be avoiding something important. In this episode, I walk through how autopilot distractions keep us from acknowledging our emotions — and how to shift into intentional, supportive check-ins with yourself instead.

In this episode Christina talks about pouring into things that are not pouring back into you and taking the end of the year as a good time to audit our relationships.

In this epsiode I talk about where I've been the last few months and where I see this podcast going. I chat about how we create our own mountains and how to start to overcome the challenges we actually create for ourselves.
