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.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about a choice, especially one made for someone else, this episode will inspire you to trust your journey, release old patterns, and step into growth.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Have you made a decision that you now doubt or feel resentment about?
• Do you feel like you’re sacrificing your needs for someone else’s?
• Are your relationships triggering patterns from your childhood?
• Do you run from healthy situations because of fear or a desire to retreat to your comfort zone?

Key Insights and A-Ha’s:

• Past childhood experiences, especially enmeshment and codependency, can shape how we respond to adult relationships.
• Healthy love can feel uncomfortable when it triggers old protective patterns, such as pushing intimacy away.
• Leaning into love requires trust, vulnerability, and addressing what your inner child needs to feel safe.
• Gratitude and clarity about what you need now can help shift feelings of sacrifice into empowerment and growth.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Recognize where you may be projecting old wounds onto current relationships.
• Allow yourself to feel and release anger or resentment in healthy, somatic ways.
• Identify what you need to feel secure, free, and supported in your relationships.
• Reframe your decision as an opportunity for healing and relational growth.

In this transformative coaching session, Christine guides Sarah, a 39-year-old single woman, through releasing guilt, healing her self-worth, and letting go of codependent patterns in relationships. Sarah shares the profound guilt she feels after leaving an abusive marriage, particularly since her ex-husband later passed away. Struggling with feelings of responsibility, she’s found herself repeating self-sacrificing patterns and attracting emotionally unavailable partners. Christine helps Sarah uncover how her childhood experiences of emotional neglect and caretaking shaped her beliefs about love and self-worth.

As they delve deeper, Sarah realizes that her guilt and sense of responsibility are rooted in early family dynamics, where she learned to prioritize others’ needs over her own. Christine encourages her to reconnect with her inner “adult self”—a wise, grounded voice within her that initially gave her the strength to leave her toxic marriage. This part of Sarah is key to rebuilding her confidence, trusting her instincts, and setting healthy boundaries.

The conversation highlights how our subconscious often seeks familiar relationship dynamics from childhood, making it challenging to break-free from harmful cycles. For Sarah, Christine suggests focusing on cultivating self-worth by reframing her inner dialogue and practicing self-care over dating. By pausing romantic pursuits, Sarah can create the inner stability needed to attract healthier connections, and leave behind codependent tendencies.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Have you been drawn to relationships where your needs are ignored or undervalued?
• Do you struggle with guilt when setting boundaries or prioritizing self-care?
• Are you holding yourself responsible for something that was never truly in your control?

The Guest’s Key Insights & A-HA’s:

• Sarah realizes she has been unconsciously choosing emotionally unavailable partners, mirroring her unmet needs from childhood.
• She understands that her lingering guilt about leaving her ex-husband has fueled codependent behaviors.
• Her “adult Sarah” voice, which led her to leave her marriage, is an essential inner resource she can rely on.
• Sarah sees how the part of her focused-on guilt, and self-punishment needs to make way for self-love and healing.

How to Get Over It and On With It:

• Prioritize Self-Worth: Reframe your self-image by focusing on your worth outside of relationship dynamics.
• Reconnect with Your Inner Child: Address the needs of your inner child and give yourself permission to release old survival strategies.
• Focus on Self-Growth: Take dating off the table temporarily to focus on self-healing practices.
• Seek Healthy Relational Dynamics: Cultivate relationships where you feel seen, safe, and appreciated rather than diminished.
