Over It And On With It

In this deeply tender session, Christine works with Holly, who’s navigating the exhausting grip of fear and the inner conflict that arises when she tries to override it. Holly describes the frustration of knowing she’s done the inner work—yet still feeling paralyzed by fear when it comes to speaking up, setting boundaries, or simply sending a message to a friend. What emerges is a powerful reframe: fear is not the enemy. It’s a messenger from past pain, particularly childhood wounds of abandonment and emotional neglect. Christine guides Holly through a shift from judgment to compassion, from pushing through fear to gently parenting the scared parts of herself with curiosity and care. This conversation is for anyone who feels “stuck” in their fear despite years of personal growth—and who needs a reminder that softness, not force, is the path forward. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you judging yourself for still feeling fear, even after doing years of self-development work? Do small tasks, like expressing a need o

In a world that glorifies giving and doing, receiving can feel foreign—or even uncomfortable. But true feminine power lies in your ability to allow love, support, abundance, and guidance in. In this episode, I explore why receiving is your divine birthright!! And how you may be blocking it and can begin to open more fully to what you truly desire.

In this heartfelt, full-circle session, Christine reconnects with Anneke—the very first person she coached on the podcast ten years ago. What unfolds is a deeply moving reflection on growth that isn't measured by external milestones, but by the quiet, powerful shifts that happen on a soul level. Anneke opens up about her journey through addiction recovery, burnout, grief, unexpected caregiving, and stepping into true self-love. Over the last decade, she’s released people-pleasing, healed from codependency, and discovered what it means to care for herself without performance or guilt. This episode challenges the cultural obsession with checking boxes and invites you to redefine what a “successful” decade really looks like. If you’ve ever questioned your progress or minimized your own transformation, this conversation is a must-listen. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you focused on external achievements while overlooking your inner growth? Do you struggle to give yourself credit for how far you’ve come? Have you be

In this episode we explore the often uncomfortable—but deeply necessary—“in-between” phase of personal growth. This is the space after an identity, role, or version of ourselves has ended, but before the new one has fully formed. In a culture that values clarity and forward momentum, this period of not knowing can feel disorienting. But it’s actually a sacred part of the death-rebirth cycle—a time to pause, shed old layers, and allow what’s next to emerge organically. If you’re in transition and craving answers, this episode will help you surrender to the wisdom of the unknown and trust the unfolding process.

In this insightful and milestone 500th episode, Christine coaches Lisa, a woman actively working to recalibrate her nervous system after decades of living in survival mode. Through their work in Christine’s Be the Queen program, Lisa has become increasingly aware of how her high productivity and people-pleasing patterns were actually rooted in hypervigilance developed from childhood emotional abandonment and a toxic past relationship. Christine helps Lisa move beyond traditional nervous system tools like breathwork by exploring one of the most overlooked regulators: the mind. They discuss how belief systems, people-pleasing masks, and unconscious behaviors can keep the body in a dysregulated state—even when things look “successful” on the outside. Whether you're a high achiever who struggles to slow down, or someone who feels stuck in a cycle of stress and self-doubt, this episode offers a refreshing look at how mental and emotional honesty are key to calming your system and reclaiming your peace.   Consider/

In this episode we unpack how high-achievers often sabotage their careers through people-pleasing and emotional suppression. Melody shares why sensitive strivers (a term she coined for deeply feeling, high-performing individuals) often struggle to advocate for themselves in professional environments — and how this disconnect leads to burnout, resentment, and career stagnation.

In this raw and revealing coaching session, Christine Hassler coaches Bridget, a woman navigating the painful territory of jealousy, comparison, and unmet desires. Bridget candidly opens up about her long-standing struggles with being single and childless—two areas that trigger deep feelings of not being “good enough” when she sees others with what she longs for.    The coaching session explores not only the emotional roots of these feelings but also how deeply ingrained patterns from childhood can skew how we view ourselves in relation to others. Christine guides Bridget to understand that jealousy isn’t a flaw—it’s a signal. A signal that we may be projecting our own unlived qualities onto others, which can be used for self-discovery and healing when viewed with compassion. Through tools like “positive projection” and reparenting, Christine helps Bridget shift her lens from lack and comparison to abundance and self-trust.   This episode is essential listening for anyone who finds themselves stuck in compari

In this episode, I share my personal experience visiting the ancient Kom Ombo Temple in Egypt — a powerful place dedicated to duality and balance. As I reflect on the energy and symbolism of the temple, I explore how it mirrors our own inner journey: the need to embrace every part of ourselves, both light and shadow. We dive into the power of neutrality — not as indifference, but as a grounded space of acceptance, where true transformation can happen. This is an invitation to see your life without judgment and to remember that all experiences serve your evolution.

In this deeply insightful and emotional coaching session, Christine Hassler works with Kate, a courageous woman who has spent much of her life relying solely on herself. While Kate has achieved personal and professional success, she finds herself feeling stuck when it comes to romantic intimacy. Her high-functioning independence has become a barrier to receiving love—and allowing herself to be truly supported by others. Together, Christine and Kate explore the roots of hyper-independence, including childhood dynamics, family roles, and the need to feel “in control” in order to feel safe. Christine gently unpacks the difference between strength that empowers connection and armor that blocks it. As they navigate Kate’s fears of vulnerability and trust, the conversation opens the door to softness, receptivity, and true emotional intimacy. This episode is a powerful listen for anyone who identifies as the “strong one,” has trouble receiving help or affection, or longs for deep partnership but doesn’t know how to

After a six-week pause, I’m back — and in this episode, I share why I stepped away from the mic and how choosing rest, stillness, and deep self-honoring changed everything. I talk about my recent journey to Egypt, where I felt the powerful presence of the Neteru and a deep soul connection to the goddess Isis. This episode invites you into that energy. I’ll guide you through a heart-centered meditation to connect with Isis — the divine mother, healer, and bringer of light. If you're moving through a season of transition, seeking healing, or simply craving spiritual connection, this meditation is here to hold you. ✨ A reminder that your inner temple is always waiting.
