Summary

In this heartfelt coaching session, Christine Hassler guides Morgan through an emotional crossroads: deciding whether to have another child. While Morgan has always envisioned a big family, fear stemming from a traumatic birth experience, postpartum depression, and complex family dynamics with her stepchildren has left her feeling uncertain.

This episode isn’t just about parenthood—it’s about the power of making choices from faith rather than fear. Christine helps Morgan shift from fear-based decision-making to a place of trust and possibility, offering insights that apply to anyone struggling with a big life decision.

 

Consider/Ask Yourself:

  • Are you facing a big decision but feel paralyzed by fear?
  • Do past traumas or difficult experiences influence your choices for the future?
  • Are you struggling with control and wanting certainty before making a move?
  • Do you tend to focus on the worst-case scenario instead of what’s truly possible?

 

Key Insights and A-HAs:

  • Fear-based decision-making limits our ability to embrace possibility and growth.
  • Our past does not have to dictate our future—we can learn from it instead of reliving it.
  • True empowerment comes from trusting that no matter what, we will be okay.
  • The need for control often stems from deeper fears, such as avoiding past pain or protecting loved ones.
  • Building a strong support system can help ease anxiety around major life transitions.

 

How to Get Over It & On With It:

  • Reframe your decision-making process by focusing on faith and trust rather than fear.
  • Acknowledge that uncertainty is a natural part of life and doesn’t mean disaster.
  • Build a solid support system (mentors, therapists, partners) to help guide you through transitions.
  • Recognize that sometimes the answer is “I don’t know yet,” and that’s okay.
  • Approach decisions from a place of curiosity, possibility, and inner wisdom rather than fear-based projections.

This is episode 487, How to Make a Decision from Faith and Not Fear.

0:07.9

Welcome to Over It and On With It. I'm your host, Christine Hassler, and for over a decade, I've been a life coach, speaker, and author.

0:15.6

Each week, you'll hear me work directly with a caller as I coach them through a goal they want to accomplish or an obstacle they may be facing. I'll provide a blend of practical and spiritual advice as well as tangible

0:25.2

actions you can apply to your own life. Now, let's get on with the episode.

0:33.7

Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show or welcome back to the show. I always like to give a warm welcome to all my new listeners. As a reminder, we have life coaching episodes every Wednesday. And every Saturday, I drop an interview or just a little tidbit from me. It's called Coach's Corner. Today, I coach Morgan and we're talking about the decision on whether or not to have another child.

0:56.8

But even if this particular decision isn't something that you're dealing with in your life,

1:01.5

this is a great episode on not making fear-based decisions and not letting fear get in the way of our clarity. Because so often we can, you know, referring back to

1:16.3

my episode with Kathy Heller on Coach's Corner this past weekend, we can think of what's probable

1:21.3

rather than what's possible. And I love that she said that because it's just so accurate.

1:27.0

And so if we're making a decision based on what's probable, we are making a more fear-based choice.

1:33.1

But if we can make choices, and I even like to use the word choice rather than decision,

1:37.5

because decide, it has that root word side, which means to kill off, homicide, suicide,

1:42.4

genocide, genocide.

1:43.9

And so choice to me feels like a more

1:45.8

empowering word. So if we can make those choices not from a fear place, then we are going to

1:53.7

make the most aligned choices. And we are going to be making choices from possibility,

1:58.1

not probability. Morgan also is a graduate of our Be the Queen

2:03.4

program, our program about calling him in. And I love that now we're talking about her having her

2:09.0

second baby. She clearly met her man, you know, got married, and now is considering having

2:15.3

another child. So if you are a woman that really wants to call in your

2:20.6

partner, I invite you to join us for our free three-day workshop called Love Magnet. It is February 11,

2:27.3

12th, and 13th, right before Valentine's Day at 2 p.m. Pacific. If you can't join live, no problem.
