Summary

In this heartfelt and transformative episode, Christine Hassler coaches Aubrea, who opens up about facing significant life challenges all at once. Aubrea shares her journey of navigating a job loss, the end of a long-term relationship, fertility struggles, and the passing of her last grandparent—all within a short period. These events have left her feeling untethered and engulfed by grief and anger.

Christine compassionately guides Aubrea through the concept of an "expectation hangover," exploring how life’s curveballs can be opportunities for deeper healing and growth. Together, they unpack the roots of Aubrea's prolonged anger, her relationship with it, and the role it plays in her journey toward self-discovery and emotional release.

This coaching call is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is potential for transformation. Christine provides practical tools and spiritual insights to help Aubrea—and listeners—embrace their pain, release limiting beliefs, and move toward a more empowered and aligned life.

 

Consider/Ask Yourself:

  • Are you experiencing an expectation hangover—where things haven’t gone as planned, or life has hit you with a massive curveball?
  • Are you holding onto anger or grief that feels overwhelming or unfamiliar?
  • Do you struggle to find meaning or purpose during challenging times?
  • Are you ready to explore the deeper healing opportunities hidden within your struggles?

 

Key Insights and A-HAs:

  • Life’s unexpected challenges often create space for deeper healing and alignment with our soul’s evolution.
  • Anger and grief, when acknowledged and expressed, can be catalysts for transformation and emotional release.
  • Subconscious patterns often draw us into experiences that mirror unresolved childhood wounds, offering an opportunity to heal and grow.
  • Finding meaning in the midst of chaos can provide a sense of peace and direction, but it requires patience and self-compassion.

 

How to Get Over It & On With It:

  • Allow yourself to fully feel your emotions, including anger and rage, without judgment or blame.
  • Explore the role that childhood patterns or relationships may play in current struggles, while avoiding self-blame.
  • Create a sense of certainty by focusing on small, grounding practices and routines in your daily life.
  • Trust that even the most painful experiences have a purpose in your growth and evolution.
