In this episode of Showing Up Whole, we explore the Enneagram as a powerful tool for self-awareness with Family Therapist and certified Enneagram Teacher, Michelle Joy.

If you have ever felt stuck in the same emotional reactions, communication patterns, or inner stories, this conversation offers a compassionate way to understand why, without blame or self-judgment.

The Enneagram is often misunderstood as just another personality test.
In this episode, we unpack why it is actually a living map of growth. Rather than labeling behavior, the Enneagram reveals the deeper motivations beneath our reactions, showing how we learned to seek safety, love, and belonging, and how those strategies can quietly keep us stuck.

You will hear how each Enneagram type carries a “human lens” through which the world is filtered, and why mistaking that lens for absolute truth can limit growth, connection, and inner peace.

We discuss how awareness of your type creates space between stimulus and response, allowing you to choose differently rather than react automatically.

This episode is for anyone who wants to understand themselves more honestly, relate with greater compassion, and move from survival patterns into wholeness.

Michelle Joy, LMFT, is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, certified Enneagram Teacher, and founder/host of The Annual Enneagram Summit for the Helping Profession. She is the creator of The Developmental Enneagram for Couples®, a unique approach that combines the Enneagram with the transformative component of differentiation.

The solstice isn’t just a single day.

It’s a season that invites us to slow down, reflect, and consciously choose light, even when life feels heavy.

In this episode of Showing Up Whole, Christina explores the deeper meaning of the solstice and what it asks of us during uncertain and emotionally intense times. With so much darkness, pressure, and noise in the world, this conversation gently guides you back to your inner light, your intuition, and the quiet wisdom within you.

This episode is for the woman who feels tired of forcing goals, overwhelmed by expectations, or disconnected from herself. Together, we explore how choosing light isn’t about bypassing reality, but about anchoring into who you truly are beneath the chaos.

Whether you’re in the Northern Hemisphere experiencing the longest night or the Southern Hemisphere living in the height of light, this episode offers grounding, reassurance, and a reminder that your inner fire still burns.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The solstice as a season of reflection, not a one-day event
• What it truly means to choose light during dark times
• How pressure-driven planning impacts the nervous system
• Why intuition matters even when you don’t always follow it
• The difference between outward light and embodied inner light
• Simple, practical ways to reconnect with what lights you up

Reflection to Sit With:
What feels heavy right now?
What feels light?
And what would it look like to choose yourself, even in a small way?

Sometimes choosing light is as simple as a breath, a pause, or giving yourself permission to let something go.

Resources Mentioned:

In this week’s episode of Showing Up Whole, Christina step intothe Holiday Season with intention. Instead of rushing into the familiar holiday shoulds, she pauses to ask a powerful question: What are we actually celebrating?

In a season filled with expectations, traditions, and emotional weight, it’s easy for sensitive, heart-led women to disconnect from themselves and put themselves on a shelf. Today, Christina explores how the holidays can become a doorway back to your inner light rather than a drain on your energy.

She starts by looking at the deeper essence beneath every cultural holiday: light, hope, renewal, and the faith that life returns even in the darkest season. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, solstice, or something uniquely yours, the theme is the same; remembering the light within and around you.

You’ll hear stories from her childhood, how family traditions have shifted through the years, and why joy, comfort, and meaning often show up in simple rituals like music, movies, nourishing food, and shared presence.

Explore how holiday stress disconnects you from your truth, and how to sort your shoulds from your joys so you can choose what actually supports your nervous system, your energy, and your spirit.

If you’re craving a grounded, sacred reset this season, join Christina for her free Winter Solstice Ritual of Light on December 21st. We’ll meditate, release the energetic clutter, reconnect to your inner fire, and celebrate the return of light together.

And don’t forget to download your free guide, Three Practices for a Calm Holiday Season, plus a bonus 7-minute meditation to help you stay centered no matter how busy life gets.

This year, choose calm over chaos, alignment over pressure, and joy over expectation.
Make this the season you remember who you really are.
