What if the very thing standing between you and your most authentic life is your own guard? In this episode of Speak Easy, we're peeling back the layers to explore what it really means to let your guard down—not just in romantic relationships, but in your daily life, career, and even the way you talk to yourself.

Kristine shares insights fresh off the back of her latest kinesiology session (if you've been curious about what actually happens in those sessions, we've got you). From childhood patterns shaping how I approach planning and decision-making, to how being emotionally available can actually coexist with protecting your energy, this episode is a deep dive into what it means to live and love with your walls down.

Key takeaways include: ✨ How our childhood experiences quietly shape the way we put up walls as adults ✨ The surprising link between planning habits and emotional safety ✨ Can you be emotionally available AND protect yourself from being hurt? (Yes—and here's how) ✨ Why toxic positivity is just another sneaky wall—and what true alignment actually looks like ✨ How naming your emotions (in real time) changes the game for communication, connection, and self-trust

This is for you if you're craving deeper authenticity in how you show up for yourself, your relationships, and your life—and you're ready to stop performing and start living for real.
