Struggling with money stress even when you're being responsible?

In this episode, I explore how your relationship with money is shaped by subconscious beliefs, nervous system regulation, and childhood conditioning—and how shifting these patterns can lead to more ease, alignment, and financial freedom.

What happens when loss isn't just one event—but becomes your entire reality?

In this deeply emotional and raw coaching session, Christine works with Tiffany, who has experienced an overwhelming series of losses in a short period of time—losing her father, her longtime partner, her beloved pet, her home, and a major part of her physical body through surgery.

When grief stacks like this, it doesn't just feel heavy—it can begin to feel like your new normal.

Tiffany shares how she feels untethered, disconnected, and unsure how to move forward. Even with a background in personal growth and healing work, she finds herself in survival mode—struggling to feel grounded, supported, or clear on her next step.

Christine offers a compassionate reminder: grief isn't something we're meant to process alone. Before trying to "figure it out," we need to be held, supported, and allowed to feel what's real.

This episode is a powerful invitation to slow down, honor your grief, and recognize that healing begins with being witnessed—not fixed.

Press play to experience what it looks like to be held in the middle of deep loss—and why that may be the most important step forward.

Consider / Ask Yourself

• Have you experienced multiple losses that left you feeling overwhelmed or untethered?
• Do you find yourself intellectualizing your pain instead of fully feeling it?
• Are you trying to "figure out your next step" before fully processing your grief?
• Do you have a safe space or support system where you feel truly held?

Key Insights and A-Ha's

• Grief compounds when multiple losses occur close together, often pushing us into survival mode.
• Intellectualizing pain can create distance from the emotional processing we truly need.
• Healing grief is not a solo process—we need safe, supportive containers.
• Being "held" emotionally is just as important as any tool or strategy.
• Sometimes life strips everything away so we can reconnect with who we truly are.

How to Deepen the Work

• Reflect on whether you've given yourself permission to fully feel your grief.
• Notice where you may be detaching or "clinicalizing" your emotions.
• Seek out supportive spaces—whether through community, friendship, or professional guidance.
• Practice being with your emotions rather than rushing to fix or solve them.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Kate Northrup for a conversation about why more money doesn't always create the sense of security we think it will.

We talk about the deeper patterns that drive how we earn, spend, and relate to money—and how our nervous system plays a much bigger role than most people realize. Because if you've been doing all the "right" things but still don't feel the way you expected to, you're not alone.

Kate shares how real change comes from creating internal steadiness first, so that growth actually feels sustainable—not stressful.

She's hosting a free workshop called Good with Money, where she teaches how to shift your relationship with money at the root.

You've done the therapy. You've learned the tools. You've processed your past.

So why does your nervous system still feel like it's on edge?

In this relatable and validating coaching session, Christine works with Kate, who has spent over a decade deeply committed to her healing journey. Despite major progress—healthy relationships, career growth, and emotional awareness—she still experiences intense nervous system reactions like anxiety, overwhelm, and shutdown.

If you've ever felt like "I've done so much work… so why am I still triggered?"—this episode is for you.

Christine offers a powerful reframe that shifts everything: what if your sensitive nervous system isn't a problem to fix—but a gift to learn how to work with?

Through their conversation, they explore how trauma, sensitivity, and subconscious patterns can coexist with real growth—and why healing isn't about becoming "perfectly regulated," but about learning how to support your unique wiring.

This episode will help you move out of self-judgment and into a more compassionate, empowered relationship with your nervous system.

Press play to discover how to stop trying to fix yourself—and start working with the system you have.

Consider / Ask Yourself

• Do you feel like you've done a lot of inner work but still get triggered easily?
• Does your nervous system feel more sensitive or reactive than others around you?
• Do you find yourself over-preparing or "psyching yourself up" for everyday situations?
• Are you judging yourself for not being more "healed" by now?

Key Insights and A-Ha's

• A highly sensitive nervous system is not a flaw—it's a different kind of wiring.
• Trauma + sensitivity can amplify nervous system responses, but that doesn't mean you're broken.
• Trying to "fix" yourself often reinforces the belief that something is wrong.
• Emotional and energetic awareness can be transformed into intuition and connection.
• Healing includes learning how to care for your system—not forcing it to be different.

How to Deepen the Work

• Practice shifting from self-judgment to self-acceptance around your nervous system.
• Explore what "support" looks like for your body rather than trying to override it.
• Begin incorporating energetic hygiene practices (clearing, grounding, protecting your energy).
• Experiment with seeing your sensitivity as a strength rather than a liability.

Have you ever done the work to leave situations that no longer serve you—only to find that life still feels strangely flat?

In this deeply honest coaching session, Christine works with Amber, who has spent the past five years navigating major life changes including a divorce, a difficult relationship that activated childhood wounds, and the grief that followed. Even though she has maintained friendships, hobbies, and healthy routines, something still feels missing. The joy she once felt has faded, and life feels muted—almost like she's going through the motions.

Through their conversation, Christine helps Amber uncover a powerful insight: when the inner child doesn't feel safe, parts of our vitality, creativity, and emotional color can go offline. What may feel like apathy or stagnation can actually be a protective response from the nervous system.

Together they explore people-pleasing patterns, suppressed anger, childhood survival strategies, and how reconnecting with the inner child can bring vitality back online.

If you've ever wondered why life can feel dull even after you've made positive changes—or why healing sometimes feels like it's moving painfully slowly—this episode offers a hopeful roadmap forward.

Press play to hear how reconnecting with your inner child and safely releasing long-held emotions can bring life's color back.

Consider / Ask Yourself

• Have you made major life changes but still feel like you're going through the motions?
• Do activities that once brought you joy now feel flat or muted?
• Are you working on healing but unsure whether you're using the right tools?
• Could suppressed emotions—like anger or grief—be keeping your vitality offline?

Key Insights and A-Ha's

• Feeling "colorless" in life can sometimes be a nervous system protection response.
• People-pleasing and other survival patterns often develop in childhood to keep us safe.
• Suppressing anger can also suppress passion and vitality.
• Healing isn't about reliving trauma—it's about applying love to the parts of us that hurt.
• Reconnecting with the inner child can help restore joy, creativity, and emotional aliveness.

How to Deepen the Work

• Reflect on whether parts of your life feel muted or disconnected from joy.
• Notice if certain emotions—especially anger or frustration—feel difficult to access.
• Explore practices that help reconnect you with your inner child and nervous system safety.
• Consider whether deeper emotional work or supportive containers could help you move forward.

Today's episode is a little different from my usual format. I'm going to start by sharing why inner child work matters so much, why so many people struggle to change patterns even after years of insight and therapy, and what actually needs to shift at the subconscious level for real transformation to happen.

And then after that, I'm going to play a recording from a live Q&A and alumni panel that I hosted about my program, Rewired.

In this conversation you'll hear people who have actually gone through the work talk about their experience — what changed for them, what surprised them, and what the process of repatterning subconscious safety strategies really looks like in real life.

Why do we keep repeating relationship patterns even when we know better?

In this honest and insightful coaching session, Christine works with Amanda, who recognizes a long-standing pattern of choosing partners with narcissistic traits, emotional avoidance, or chaotic lifestyles. Despite strong intuition warning her early on, she finds herself staying in these relationships until they reach a painful breaking point.

Christine helps Amanda uncover the deeper root of the pattern: the inner child seeking to recreate familiar dynamics from childhood in hopes of finally receiving the love, validation, and stability that were missing. Through the conversation, Amanda begins to see how self-worth, validation, and unconscious beliefs about love have been influencing her choices.

If you've ever wondered why you continue to repeat the same relationship dynamics — even after years of personal development work — this episode will help you understand how real change happens through re-parenting yourself and building a secure relationship within.

Consider / Ask Yourself:

• Do you notice yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships?
• Are you drawn to people who need fixing, saving, or rescuing?
• Do you sometimes ignore your intuition early in relationships?
• Do you place partners on a pedestal and abandon your own needs?
• Are feelings of shame or self-judgment keeping you stuck in old patterns?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Relationship patterns often mirror unresolved childhood dynamics.
• The inner child seeks familiar situations in hopes of finally getting unmet needs fulfilled.
• Intellectual understanding alone does not change subconscious patterns.
• Self-worth struggles can lead to placing others on a pedestal.
• Shame heals through compassion and understanding — not judgment.
• Real change happens through re-parenting yourself in real time.

How to Deepen the Work:

• Practice validating your feelings instead of dismissing them.
• When shame or self-judgment arises, respond with compassion: "Of course I feel this way."
• Notice when younger parts of you are driving your decisions in relationships.
• Begin relating to yourself as a supportive parent would to a child.
• Shift from analyzing patterns to actively rewiring your responses in everyday moments.

Christine is opening enrollment for Rewired, her live inner child healing course designed to help you shift subconscious patterns and build a secure relationship with yourself.

What if the most honest answer right now is… I don't know?

In this thoughtful and vulnerable coaching session, Christine works with Yasmine, who is navigating uncertainty in her relationship. She deeply values the emotional connection she shares with her partner, yet finds herself triggered by his financial instability and questioning whether this is a deal breaker.

Christine helps Yasmine explore something deeper than "Should I stay or should I go?" Instead of rushing toward certainty, they unpack the childhood programming around independence, financial security, and self-reliance that may be shaping her attraction and her fear. The conversation opens a powerful invitation: sometimes clarity doesn't come from forcing a decision — it comes from doing the inner work and tolerating the discomfort of not knowing yet.

If you're in a situation where there are many positives but one lingering concern, this episode will help you understand how uncertainty can actually be a doorway to growth rather than a sign to panic.

Consider / Ask Yourself:

• Are you trying to force certainty in a situation that needs more time?
• Do you feel pressure to decide instead of permission to discover?
• Are childhood patterns influencing what feels like a "deal breaker"?
• Do you believe you have to rely only on yourself?
• Is your discomfort about the present situation — or about something older being triggered?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• The discomfort of "I don't know" often reveals deeper soul lessons.
• Childhood beliefs like "I can only rely on myself" shape adult attraction patterns.
• Emotional safety and financial stability are different forms of security.
• Pressure to decide can block the clarity we're seeking.
• We often project unmet childhood needs onto our partners.
• Uncertainty with a regulated nervous system is growth.

How to Deepen the Work:

• Explore the belief: "I have to make it work on my own."
• Practice allowing support — even in small, everyday decisions.
• Notice when you are projecting past wounds onto your partner.
• Shift from asking "Is this it?" to "What am I learning here?"
• Allow yourself to sit in "I don't know yet" without rushing toward resolution.

In this episode, I'm on the other side of the mic.

I was interviewed by coach and podcast host Andy Hoffer about inner child work — not as a theory, but as the deep patterning that continues to shape our relationships, decisions, and self-trust as adults.

We talk about why so many people can be successful, self-aware, and still feel stuck… how childhood survival strategies quietly show up under stress… and what it actually takes to untangle these patterns in a way that creates real change.

If you've done a lot of personal growth work but notice the same reactions, habits, or relationship dynamics repeating, this conversation will resonate.

And if you want to go deeper, I invite you to my free masterclass, Untangled, where I teach how to break the childhood patterns that quietly run your adult life.

What if forgiveness isn't the next step?

In this deeply honest coaching session, Christine works with Sylvie, who has been trying for years to reach forgiveness after a profound betrayal involving her ex-husband and a longtime friend. Despite therapy, spiritual work, and understanding that "forgiveness is for you," she finds herself stuck.

Christine helps Sylvie uncover something powerful: sometimes forgiveness isn't blocked because we're not spiritual enough — it's blocked because we've skipped a step. When betrayal runs deep, especially when it touches childhood wounds of not being seen or valued, forgiveness may not be the first doorway. Confrontation, anger release, and self-advocacy might be.

If you've ever tried to forgive but couldn't get there — or felt ashamed that you're still angry — this episode will help you understand why and what may actually need to happen first.

transcript

Consider / Ask Yourself:

• Is there someone you feel you "should" forgive but can't?
• Are you trying to spiritually bypass anger or confrontation?
• Do you avoid conflict, even when something deeply hurt you?
• Are you holding onto resentment because speaking up feels harder?
• Is there a clearing conversation you've been postponing?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Forgiveness is not condoning someone's behavior.
• Forgiveness is about releasing the beliefs and judgments keeping you stuck — not excusing the action.
• Sometimes the growth edge isn't forgiveness — it's confrontation.
• Anger is not unspiritual; it's information and energy that must be processed.
• Avoiding hard conversations can keep betrayal alive in the body.
• Peace often comes from self-advocacy, not silence.

How to Deepen the Work:

• Ask yourself if there is a conversation that needs to happen before you can move forward.
• Explore somatic or anger-release work to move stored emotion out of your body.
• Notice where you are confusing forgiveness with people-pleasing.
• Practice being a stand for yourself in small ways before having larger confrontations.
• Shift the goal from "forgiveness" to "peace and acceptance."

We're moving from the introspective Year of the Snake into the bold, forward-moving Year of the Horse.

Snake energy has been about shedding — old roles, patterns, identities that no longer fit. The Horse brings movement, courage, and momentum.

But if you haven't fully released what surfaced this year, you may feel pushed instead of propelled.

In this episode, I share what this energetic shift symbolizes and how to consciously move from reflection into aligned action — without burnout, without rushing, and without dragging the past forward.

And if you're ready to go deeper into untangling the patterns that keep repeating in your life, I'm teaching a free masterclass at christinehassler.com/untangled.
