Summary

In this heartfelt coaching session, Christine works with Jemma, who feels confused and heartbroken after believing that God led her into a relationship that ultimately ended in disappointment. Jemma wrestles with feelings of self-blame, loss, and spiritual doubt as she questions whether she misunderstood divine guidance—or was somehow being punished.

Christine helps her see the situation through a lens of truth and compassion. Together, they explore how childhood wounds shape patterns of self-sacrifice, and how spiritual confusion often arises when we project human expectations onto God. Jemma learns that she hasn't "lost herself"—she was simply operating from childhood survival strategies, and she's now being invited to evolve through love, loss, and faith.

If you've ever felt like the universe led you somewhere painful, this episode will help you find meaning, peace, and trust in a bigger plan.

Consider / Ask Yourself:

  • Have you ever felt misled by God or the universe?
  • Do you blame yourself when relationships don't work out?
  • Do you confuse caretaking or fawning with true connection?
  • Are you interpreting disappointment as a sign you did something wrong?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

  • We often project human disappointment and abandonment onto God.
  • "Losing yourself" is actually slipping back into old survival patterns.
  • Every relationship can be a stepping stone toward deeper healing.
  • Grief and progress can coexist—healing is not linear.
  • Compassion for younger parts of ourselves softens relational patterns.

How to Deepen the Work:

  • Reflect on how childhood shaped your approach to intimacy and caretaking.
  • Replace "I lost myself" with "I shifted into coping—and now I'm returning to myself."
  • Journal about how this relationship moved you forward rather than backward.
  • Spend time nurturing your inner child—the part of you longing for safety.
  • Engage with God or your spiritual source as a loving presence, not a judge.

Welcome to Life Coaching with Christine Hassler, a space where truth and love come together to

the deep work of letting go, waking up, and coming home to who they truly are. Each week,

0:27.1

you'll hear an unedited, unscripted coaching session with someone moving through a challenge or block

in their life. These are tender and powerful conversations where deep healing happens in real time.

Let's dive into today's session.

Hi, everybody. Welcome back to the show. You may have noticed that there were not episodes

0:58.2

last week. It was Thanksgiving here in the state. So happy Thanksgiving to everyone who

1:03.5

celebrates it. And I love this time of year. I love being around family. I love things

1:09.1

slowing down. I love it getting colder. I love all the things. And I know that doesn't apply everywhere. But can you love where you are? I think that's one of the things that is so precious in life is to love the present moment. We may not like it all the time, but can we have

1:29.5

gratitude for it? And when we feel like the present moment isn't what we want, that can be harder.

1:38.5

Our mind can make it mean a lot of things. It can make it mean we're off course. It can make it

1:42.3

mean we're a victim. It can make it mean we're doing something wrong. It can go into fear-based thoughts about how we'll never have what we want. The mind can do all kinds of things. And if we feel like we were led to something and then we end up with an expectation hangover, especially if we feel like we prayed for something, God, the universe, source energy led us to something. And then

2:01.3

we end up disappointed or it turns out not like we thought it was going to. Then we can really

2:06.2

start to question things and spin out in our own confusion. And that's exactly what's happening

2:11.8

for my caller today, Gemma, who feels like God led her to a relationship, only to end up with an expectation hangover.

2:19.5

We have a beautiful conversation about that.
