In this heartfelt and insightful episode, Christine Hassler coaches Julie through the challenges of navigating life’s "in-between" phases. Julie opens up about being in a transitional period, torn between trusting the natural flow of life and taking control to make things happen. This episode explores the delicate balance of surrender and action, and the deep fears and patterns that arise when we’re on the brink of transformation.

Christine compassionately helps Julie unpack the subconscious blocks that come from past traumas, including a sudden divorce and a harrowing school shooting her daughter experienced. Together, they dive into Julie’s duality of being a grounded doer and a deeply spiritual being, providing insights on how to integrate these parts of herself to move forward with trust and healing.

This coaching session is a powerful reminder that embracing uncertainty and facing our fears can lead to profound growth, and the ability to welcome love and connection into our lives.

• Do you struggle with the fear of losing love or experiencing vulnerability?

• What steps can you take to regulate your nervous system and allow love and trust to flow?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Life’s transitions often bring up subconscious fears and protective patterns.
• True surrender and trust involve releasing attachment to specific outcomes and opening to possibilities.
• Grief and trauma, when unaddressed, can create blocks to receiving love and connection.
• Learning to regulate your nervous system and embody trust is key to welcoming new opportunities.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Recognize and release unresolved grief or trauma through somatic or emotional healing practices.
• Practice nervous system regulation techniques, such as compassionate self-talk and mindfulness.
• Visualize and embody the feelings you desire in your future relationships.
• Create space for love by embracing vulnerability and letting go of hyper-vigilance.

In this heartfelt and transformative episode, Christine Hassler coaches Aubrea, who opens up about facing significant life challenges all at once. Aubrea shares her journey of navigating a job loss, the end of a long-term relationship, fertility struggles, and the passing of her last grandparent—all within a short period. These events have left her feeling untethered and engulfed by grief and anger.

Christine compassionately guides Aubrea through the concept of an "expectation hangover," exploring how life’s curveballs can be opportunities for deeper healing and growth. Together, they unpack the roots of Aubrea's prolonged anger, her relationship with it, and the role it plays in her journey toward self-discovery and emotional release.

This coaching call is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is potential for transformation. Christine provides practical tools and spiritual insights to help Aubrea—and listeners—embrace their pain, release limiting beliefs, and move toward a more empowered and aligned life.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Are you experiencing an expectation hangover—where things haven’t gone as planned, or life has hit you with a massive curveball?
• Are you holding onto anger or grief that feels overwhelming or unfamiliar?
• Do you struggle to find meaning or purpose during challenging times?
• Are you ready to explore the deeper healing opportunities hidden within your struggles?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Life’s unexpected challenges often create space for deeper healing and alignment with our soul’s evolution.
• Anger and grief, when acknowledged and expressed, can be catalysts for transformation and emotional release.
• Subconscious patterns often draw us into experiences that mirror unresolved childhood wounds, offering an opportunity to heal and grow.
• Finding meaning in the midst of chaos can provide a sense of peace and direction, but it requires patience and self-compassion.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Allow yourself to fully feel your emotions, including anger and rage, without judgment or blame.
• Explore the role that childhood patterns or relationships may play in current struggles, while avoiding self-blame.
• Create a sense of certainty by focusing on small, grounding practices and routines in your daily life.
• Trust that even the most painful experiences have a purpose in your growth and evolution.

In this transformative episode, Christine Hassler coaches Stacey, who opens up about living with misophonia, a neurological condition that causes extreme sensitivity to certain sounds, triggering fight-or-flight responses. Stacey shares how this condition has impacted her relationships, including her family and romantic connections, leaving her feeling isolated and doubtful about her ability to maintain long-term intimacy.

Christine compassionately guides Stacey to explore the interplay between her condition, beliefs about herself, and fears around relationships. Together, they delve into the deeper layers of guilt, shame, and self-worth that have influenced Stacey's ability to open herself to love and connection.

This heartfelt coaching call is a powerful reminder that while we all have challenges, they do not define our worthiness or capacity for relationships. Christine offers practical insights and tools to help Stacey and listeners embrace hope, reframe their beliefs, and find empowering ways to move forward.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Do you feel like a diagnosis or past experience has become a barrier to forming or maintaining relationships?
• Are you carrying guilt or shame over how your challenges have affected others?
• Do you feel stuck in a pattern of self-protection that limits your ability to experience intimacy?
• Are you ready to explore new perspectives and approaches to shift your mindset and open to new possibilities?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Our challenges, no matter how overwhelming, do not make us unworthy of love or connection.
• Beliefs about ourselves and our perceived "flaws" often become self-fulfilling prophecies, but they can be shifted.
• Neurodivergent conditions, like misophonia, can be addressed with a combination of self-compassion, rewiring techniques, and relational support.
• Everyone brings challenges into relationships—it's about how we work through them together.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Explore resources like Dr. Robert Melillo's work on brain balance, and rewiring techniques for neurological conditions.
• Focus on the gifts and strengths you bring to relationships, rather than fixating on challenges.
• Practice belief work, such as Byron Katie’s “The Work,” to shift limiting narratives and open yourself to new possibilities.
• Consider joining a supportive program or retreat to broaden your perspective and strengthen your inner resources.

In this insightful episode, Christine coaches Alecks, who is navigating the fine line between self-care and selfishness. Alecks shares her struggles with balancing her own needs and feelings of guilt when caring for her family, particularly her mother. Together, they dive deep into inner child work, exploring how unresolved childhood wounds and patterns of self-abandonment can manifest in adult relationships and personal choices.

Christine guides Alecks to connect with her inner child, offering tools to repair the sense of abandonment and foster a secure attachment within herself.

• Are you unclear about the difference between self-care and being selfish?

• Guilt often stems from unresolved childhood patterns of self-silencing and overcompensation.
• True self-care involves choosing from a place of love, not guilt or obligation.
• Repairing the relationship with your inner child can reduce feelings of abandonment and foster inner peace.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Check in with your inner child regularly to understand their needs and feelings.
• Practice secure attachment techniques, such as clear communication and creating agreements.
• Reflect on where you might be operating out of guilt or obligation instead of authentic care.
• Take actionable steps to balance family responsibilities with your own well-being.

In this heartfelt episode, Christine coaches Marie, who is navigating transitions in both her career and personal life. As Marie opens up about feelings of inadequacy and fear stemming from her childhood, Christine helps her uncover the deeper roots of her lack of confidence and offers powerful tools for healing. Together, they explore how childhood wounds manifest in adult relationships and career dynamics, and how embracing vulnerability can lead to greater self-worth and confidence.

If you’ve ever felt held back by old patterns or struggled with confidence in relationships or at work, this episode will provide clarity, hope, and actionable insights for your journey.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Do you struggle with speaking up for yourself or setting boundaries at work or in relationships?
• Are there moments from your childhood that might still be influencing your confidence today?
• Do you find that a lack of confidence in one area of your life impacts other areas?
• Are you ready to uncover and heal old wounds to step into your full potential?

Key Insights and A-HA’s:

• Childhood wounds, like parental separation or taking on a caregiver role too early, can create patterns of self-silencing and people-pleasing.
• A lack of confidence often stems from not being allowed to express emotions or needs as a child.
• Healing involves doing for yourself now what you couldn’t do as a child, such as using your voice and setting boundaries.
• Confidence grows through radical self-acceptance and addressing unmet needs with compassion and clarity.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Reflect on how past wounds are showing up in your current relationships and career.
• Allow yourself to express repressed emotions, like anger, in healthy, somatic ways.
• Practice asserting your needs and opinions in situations where you typically remain silent.
• Use moments of discomfort as opportunities to break free from old patterns and embrace growth.

In this powerful episode, Christine coaches Laura, who is wrestling with resentment and uncertainty after making a big decision for her relationship. Through a deeply honest conversation, they explore the roots of Laura’s feelings—how past childhood experiences influence current dynamics—and discover the healing opportunities that can emerge from leaning into love.
