In this episode of "Over It and On With It," Christine Hassler coaches Cassandra, who struggles with indecision. She often feels stuck, drifting through various aspects of her life rather than fully committing. At 39 years old, Cassandra is beginning to confront the deep-rooted patterns that have held her back, stemming from a traumatic and dysfunctional childhood.

Christine helps Cassandra understand that her indecision is not a personal flaw but a survival strategy developed during her chaotic upbringing. Through their coaching session, Christine encourages Cassandra to reconnect with her inner child, offering her the safety and nurturing she never received as a child, which is crucial for healing and moving forward with clarity and purpose.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Do you struggle to make decisions, often feeling stuck or paralyzed by overthinking?
• Have you had a chaotic or traumatic childhood that makes it difficult for you to trust yourself and others?
• Do you often find yourself drifting through life, unsure what you truly want or how to commit to it?
• Can you communicate your needs openly or bottle up emotions until they explode?

The Guest's Key Insights & A-HA's:

• Cassandra's indecision and drifting are deeply rooted in her childhood trauma, where she felt trapped and unsafe.
• Christine highlights that Cassandra's struggle is not about a lack of decision-making ability but rather a lack of self-trust and safety.
• By reconnecting with her inner child and practicing self-compassion, Cassandra can begin to break free from the patterns that keep her stuck.
• The coaching session underscores the importance of nurturing oneself and creating a safe space for personal growth and decision-making.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Begin to see indecision not as a flaw but as a survival mechanism that can be transformed through self-compassion and nurturing.
• Practice reconnecting with your inner child by providing the safety and love you needed growing up.
• Communicate your needs clearly and honestly in your relationships, even if it initially feels uncomfortable.
• Create small, actionable steps towards the life you envision, focusing on integration rather than over-analysis.
