Is your stress about money really about money—or something deeper?

In this insightful and empowering coaching session, Christine works with Jody, who is navigating a major life transition after a 20-year marriage. As she steps into financial independence for the first time, she's facing intense fear, overwhelm, and a deep sense of scarcity.

But as the conversation unfolds, a powerful truth emerges: Jody's struggle isn't actually about money—it's about years of conditioning around worth, safety, and control.

Christine helps Jody uncover how childhood patterns, people-pleasing, and a history of shrinking herself have shaped her relationship with money—and how this moment of change is actually an opportunity to reclaim her power.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by finances, doubted your ability to support yourself, or tied your worth to your financial situation, this episode will help you see what's really going on beneath the surface.

Press play to learn how stepping into your worth—not just your wallet—is the real path to abundance.

Consider / Ask Yourself

• Do you feel anxious or overwhelmed when it comes to money or financial decisions?
• Have you ever given your financial power over to someone else?
• Do you associate safety with "staying small" or avoiding risk?
• Are your financial fears actually rooted in deeper emotional patterns?

Key Insights and A-Ha's

• Financial stress is often a reflection of deeper nervous system patterns—not just numbers.
• Scarcity can come from years of shrinking, people-pleasing, and loss of autonomy.
• Major life transitions (like divorce) can be powerful opportunities to reclaim personal and financial power.
• Abundance begins with expanding out of contraction—not just earning more money.
• Support is a key component of an abundance mindset—you don't have to figure everything out alone.

How to Deepen the Work

• Reflect on your earliest memories and beliefs about money and worth.
• Notice where you may be bracing, contracting, or avoiding when it comes to finances.
• Practice receiving support—whether emotional, practical, or financial guidance.
• Explore what truly matters to you and begin aligning your spending with your values.

What if the belief holding you back today was formed in a single moment from your past?

In Part 2 of this powerful coaching series, Christine takes Tiffany deeper—into the exact core memory that shaped one of her most limiting beliefs: "I'll get it wrong."

After a year of immense loss (explored in Part 1), Tiffany begins to uncover how a painful childhood experience—being publicly embarrassed by a close friend—created patterns of self-protection, hypervigilance, and emotional shutdown that have followed her into adulthood.

Rather than simply reframing the belief, Christine guides Tiffany through a real-time rewiring process—helping her reconnect with her younger self, express unspoken emotions, and shift from collapse into self-advocacy.

This episode is a masterclass in what true healing looks like: not bypassing pain, but meeting it with presence, compassion, and a new response.

If you've ever struggled with fear of rejection, self-expression, or "getting it wrong," this episode will show you how those patterns form—and how they can change.

Press play to witness what it looks like to rewrite your story at the root—and reclaim your voice.

Consider / Ask Yourself

• What core memory or moment may have shaped your biggest limiting belief?
• Do you tend to collapse, withdraw, or shut down when you feel vulnerable?
• Are you trying to "think your way out" of beliefs that were formed emotionally?
• What would it feel like to respond to your past self with compassion and advocacy?

Key Insights and A-Ha's

• Limiting beliefs are often formed in emotionally charged childhood moments.
• Reframing isn't enough—true healing requires emotional and somatic rewiring.
• Suppressed anger can keep us stuck in patterns of collapse and self-protection.
• Giving your younger self a voice can unlock long-held emotional patterns.
• Healing shifts you from reactive patterns into conscious, empowered responses.

How to Deepen the Work

• Reflect on a memory where you felt rejected, embarrassed, or hurt.
• Identify the belief that may have formed in that moment.
• Practice reconnecting with your younger self and offering support, validation, and protection.
• Notice where you can shift from reacting to consciously responding in your present life.

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.
