In this heartfelt coaching session, Christine works with Jemma, who feels confused and heartbroken after believing that God led her into a relationship that ultimately ended in disappointment. Jemma wrestles with feelings of self-blame, loss, and spiritual doubt as she questions whether she misunderstood divine guidance—or was somehow being punished.

Christine helps her see the situation through a lens of truth and compassion. Together, they explore how childhood wounds shape patterns of self-sacrifice, and how spiritual confusion often arises when we project human expectations onto God. Jemma learns that she hasn't "lost herself"—she was simply operating from childhood survival strategies, and she's now being invited to evolve through love, loss, and faith.

If you've ever felt like the universe led you somewhere painful, this episode will help you find meaning, peace, and trust in a bigger plan.

Consider / Ask Yourself:

• Have you ever felt misled by God or the universe?
• Do you blame yourself when relationships don't work out?
• Do you confuse caretaking or fawning with true connection?
• Are you interpreting disappointment as a sign you did something wrong?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• We often project human disappointment and abandonment onto God.
• "Losing yourself" is actually slipping back into old survival patterns.
• Every relationship can be a stepping stone toward deeper healing.
• Grief and progress can coexist—healing is not linear.
• Compassion for younger parts of ourselves softens relational patterns.

How to Deepen the Work:

• Reflect on how childhood shaped your approach to intimacy and caretaking.
• Replace "I lost myself" with "I shifted into coping—and now I'm returning to myself."
• Journal about how this relationship moved you forward rather than backward.
• Spend time nurturing your inner child—the part of you longing for safety.
• Engage with God or your spiritual source as a loving presence, not a judge.
