Over It And On With It

Melody Wilding is an executive coach, human behavior expert, and author of Trust Yourself and Managing Up. 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. We explore the difference between being collaborative and being a doormat, and how to set boundaries that actually earn respect rather than risk relationships. Learn more at melodywilding.com

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 comparison loops, struggling with envy, or feeling left behind by life's timelines. If you've ever looked at someone else's life and thought, “They must know something I don’t,” this one is for you.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you often compare your life to others and feel like you're falling short? Do you feel left out or behind when it comes to relationships, family, or success? Is jealousy something you were taught—something modeled in your family of origin? Are you ready to reclaim your sense of self-worth and step into greater self-trust?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Jealousy can serve as a tool for growth when reframed as a positive projection. Often, the qualities we admire in others are ones we haven’t fully owned in ourselves. Chronic comparison stems from childhood imprints, often passed down from caregivers. Confidence in decision-making strengthens our relationship with ourselves and builds autonomy. You are not less than anyone else—there is no secret formula that others have and you don’t.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Practice positive projection: When you're jealous of someone, ask yourself, “What qualities am I seeing in them that I haven’t yet recognized in myself?” Build self-trust by making confident, embodied choices—even small ones. Flex your decision-making muscle. Reframe comparison as separation. Instead, use it to connect with the qualities you desire to cultivate in yourself. Visualize removing the “comparison glasses” and choosing to see through the lens of truth, where your worth is not tied to others’ outcomes. Work with a therapist or coach to reparent the younger parts of you that never got to fully develop autonomy or self-approval.   Upcoming Events:   Christine’s Signature Women’s Retreat Christine is still honoring the early bird discount for her upcoming Women’s Retreat! This transformational experience is designed to help women heal the sister wound, release patterns of jealousy and competition, and experience deep, soul-level connection and support.

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 shift lifelong patterns of self-protection.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you often feel like you have to handle everything on your own? Is it difficult for you to ask for or receive help? Are you drawn to relationships where you feel emotionally safer staying guarded? Do you believe that letting your guard down means losing control—or being weak? Key Insights and A-HAs: Hyper-independence is often a trauma response rooted in childhood survival strategies. Being strong doesn’t mean being closed; real strength includes openness and the willingness to receive. Letting others in starts with letting ourselves feel—especially the parts we've kept buried or dismissed. Shifting from control to trust is a journey of nervous system safety and self-compassion. You don’t need to be “fixed” to be loved—you need to be seen and softened. How to Get Over It & On With It: Notice where “I’ve got it” may actually be a defense, not empowerment. Practice small acts of receiving: compliments, support, kindness, physical affection. Reparent the younger version of yourself who had to grow up fast—give her what she never received. Use body-based practices to reconnect with your emotions and signal safety to your nervous system. Explore relational growth in environments that offer support, compassion, and emotional safety.

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.

In this heartfelt and eye-opening coaching session, Christine Hassler supports Darletha as she bravely opens up about her struggles with intimacy, abandonment, and the fear of emotional vulnerability. Despite years of personal growth, therapy, and conscious dating efforts, Darletha finds herself in a recurring pattern of attracting men who aren’t aligned with her values—and pushing them away when things get too close. Christine guides Darletha to explore the deeper emotional roots of her relationship dynamics, including childhood wounds, generational trauma, and the nervous system’s response to perceived threats in intimacy. Together, they highlight the difference between discernment and sabotage, and how inner child healing can shift these long-held patterns. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels frustrated with their dating experiences, struggles with emotional closeness, or feels misunderstood by their own protective patterns.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you find yourself attracting partners who aren’t quite right, then pushing them away? Are you hyper-aware of red flags to the point that it blocks connection? Can you tell the difference between discernment and emotional avoidance? Are you willing to explore how your nervous system and inner child might be influencing your relationship patterns?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Pushing people away can be a protective response, not a personal flaw. Childhood experiences of abandonment can lead to subconscious avoidance of intimacy. Discernment is not the same as fear—knowing the difference is key. Emotional safety begins within the self, not through control over others. True healing comes through compassion, vulnerability, and nervous system regulation.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Practice tuning into your body instead of staying in your head during dates or emotionally triggering moments. Acknowledge and soothe the inner child when feelings of rejection or abandonment arise. Let go of hyper-vigilance and perfectionism; focus instead on how you feel around a person, not just how they perform. Redefine vulnerability as strength, not weakness—it’s the gateway to authentic connection. Surround yourself with safe containers and communities (like Be the Queen) to reinforce new relational patterns.   Social Media + Resources:  Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: [email protected] — For information on any of my services!

In this insightful coaching session, Christine works with Karin, who has repeatedly found herself in cycles of earning and losing money, leading to a persistent struggle and anxiety around finances. Karin shares her experiences of attempting various methods—from manifesting practices to lifestyle adjustments—to improve her financial stability, yet continually finds herself back in scarcity. Christine helps Karin uncover deep-seated generational patterns and subconscious beliefs around money that perpetuate this cycle. They discuss the nervous system’s role in financial stability and how chronic anxiety and fear can block abundance, even when consciously pursuing financial goals. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how past familial beliefs, generational trauma, and nervous system dysregulation can influence their current relationship with money. Christine provides tangible insights into shifting from scarcity and struggle toward a more grounded, regulated, and abundant state. Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you notice patterns of gaining and losing money repeatedly in your life? Are you constantly anxious about your financial situation, even if things momentarily improve? Can you see any generational patterns in your family around money and struggle? Would you like to shift from feeling overwhelmed and fearful about money to feeling calm and abundant? Key Insights and A-HAs: Financial stability is closely tied to nervous system regulation. Generational patterns deeply impact our subconscious relationship with money. Fear and anxiety about money can create blocks to consistent financial abundance. It's essential to consciously decide to break cycles of financial struggle. Cultivating a regulated nervous system can significantly shift your relationship with money. How to Get Over It & On With It: Identify and acknowledge your underlying fears and anxieties around money. Work actively to regulate your nervous system before engaging in financial tasks or conversations. Clearly define your financial desires without minimizing or compromising. Decide consciously to break generational patterns of financial struggle and scarcity. Practice daily habits that reinforce a regulated nervous system state, promoting calm and abundance.

In this inspiring and heartfelt coaching session, Christine works with Sarah, who is navigating life after the dissolution of a 20-year marriage. While Sarah has processed much of her grief and feels more grounded, she finds herself in an in-between space—caught between who she was in the relationship and the new version of herself that she is becoming. Christine helps Sarah explore the deeper roots of her feelings of being held back, which stem from earlier life experiences where she felt disempowered. Through their conversation, they discuss the challenges of moving forward when parts of your old life still linger, and how to embrace your growth without slipping back into past patterns. Listeners will learn how to acknowledge and honor their own progress, release the need to please others, and fully step into their new life. This episode encourages listeners to choose themselves, embrace their own story, and trust that moving forward—while uncomfortable at times—is worth it.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you feeling stuck between your past and your future? Do you tend to hold back because you fear upsetting others? Are you fully acknowledging your own progress, or are you still telling yourself an old story? Can you trust that your choices, even if they come with loss, are the best ones for your growth?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Holding back can feel familiar, but it doesn’t serve your growth. Grief can come in waves, even after you think you’ve moved on. Choosing yourself may mean letting go of old relationships, and that’s okay. You don’t have to wait for external validation to step into your new story. Acknowledging your growth is essential to moving forward.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Identify the ways you are holding back and consciously choose to move forward. Allow yourself to feel the grief of letting go without letting it hold you back. Practice trusting your choices and recognize your progress without minimizing it. Find your support network and let them remind you of your growth when self-doubt creeps in.   Social Media + Resources: Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: [email protected] — For information on any of my services!

In this honest and empowering coaching session, Christine works with Elena, who is navigating the emotional aftermath of ending a seven-year relationship. Although the breakup initially seemed mutual, deeper fears have surfaced—particularly around abandonment, self-worth, and what it means to be alone. Christine helps Elena explore the deeper roots of these fears, which stem from unresolved childhood trauma and modeled behavior from her mother. This episode addresses why we often stay in relationships that aren't healthy, the difference between true forgiveness and repression, and how to break free from generational patterns. Through this conversation, listeners will learn how to embrace solitude, process anger in a healthy way, and find strength in standing firm in their boundaries. If you’ve ever questioned whether you were too hard on someone, or feared walking away even when you knew it was the right choice, this episode is for you.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Have you ever stayed in a relationship because you were afraid of being alone? Do you struggle with repeating family or generational patterns in your relationships? Are you confusing forgiveness with repression? Do you feel like you're settling for less than you deserve because it feels safer than the unknown?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Being alone in a relationship can feel lonelier than being on your own. Anger, when unexpressed, can turn into anxiety or self-betrayal. Repeating generational patterns is common, but with awareness and action, they can be broken. True healing requires both reparenting yourself and creating new internal belief systems. Boundaries are an act of self-love and are essential to change long-standing relational habits.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Embrace solitude as a form of strength, not weakness. Practice anger release through safe outlets such as movement or journaling. Acknowledge generational influences without letting them define your future. Reframe thoughts that tempt you to return to unhealthy dynamics. Ask yourself, “Is this my voice, or my programming?” Visualize the kind of parent, partner, or person you want to be, and make choices in alignment with that vision.   Social Media + Resources: Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook  Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: [email protected] — For information on any of my services!

In this deeply personal and transformative episode, Christine Hassler coaches Sara through the difficult journey of self-forgiveness. Many of us have experienced the weight of regret—dwelling on decisions we wish we had made differently and struggling to let go of the past. This episode offers a path toward healing, self-acceptance, and true forgiveness. Christine helps Sara navigate the emotions of guilt, self-judgment, and the pressure to "fix" herself, while also uncovering the deeper wounds that have shaped her self-worth. Together, they explore the impact of childhood conditioning, the importance of self-compassion, and how to break free from patterns of self-criticism. This coaching session is a powerful reminder that we are not defined by our mistakes and that true self-love means embracing all parts of ourselves—even the ones we struggle to accept.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you holding onto self-judgment for something you’ve done? Do you find it easier to forgive others than to forgive yourself? Have you ever attached your self-worth to external validation, such as your appearance or achievements? Are you ready to let go of shame, guilt, and regret, and embrace self-compassion instead?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Many of the “mistakes” we regret are actually opportunities for growth. Forgiveness is not about condoning what happened, but about freeing yourself from self-punishment. Our childhood experiences shape our self-image—but we have the power to rewrite our story. True healing begins with self-compassion, not self-criticism. We can learn to see ourselves beyond the surface and appreciate our true, authentic essence.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Reframe your perception—instead of seeing your actions as "mistakes," view them as learning experiences. Practice self-mothering—speak to yourself with the same love and gentleness you would offer a child. Challenge self-judgment—when you hear your inner critic, ask, “Would I say this to a friend?” Shift your focus from past regret to future growth—each day is a chance to choose self-compassion.   Special Thanks to Our Sponsor: Enviro Air & Water If you live in the Greater Austin or San Antonio area, you deserve clean, high-quality water for your home and business.

In this insightful coaching session, Christine Hassler helps Venus navigate deep emotional wounds related to past relationships. Venus struggles with feelings of being replaced and not being chosen, which stem from childhood neglect, abuse, and enmeshment. She finds herself caught in patterns of comparison and pain over an ex possibly moving on with someone else. Together, Christine and Venus unpack these core wounds, working toward reclaiming empowerment, self-worth, and emotional sovereignty. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck in the past, struggled with self-worth after a breakup, or wants to heal old relationship wounds at the root level.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you still emotionally attached to an ex, even though you know you were incompatible? Do you struggle with feelings of being replaced or not chosen? Have childhood wounds influenced your relationships, making love feel like dependency or codependency? Are you trying to “pray away” pain instead of working through it? How can you shift from a fear-based desire for validation to true self-empowerment?   Key Insights and A-HAs: The pain of feeling replaced often stems from deeper childhood wounds of neglect or not being chosen. Healing is a process that requires presence, patience, and self-compassion—there’s no quick fix. Breaking patterns of comparison and self-judgment is crucial for self-empowerment. Taking up space, moving energy through the body, and developing personal sovereignty help break cycles of emotional pain. The shift from being disempowered to reclaiming choice is the core of deep healing.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Recognize disempowering thought patterns and actively redirect them. Use empowering language—instead of asking, “Why did this happen to me?” reframe it as, “What am I choosing at this moment?” Engage in movement and expression—dance, sing, walk, or scream into a pillow to release stored emotional energy. Practice self-acknowledgement—celebrate progress rather than focusing on how far you still need to go. Trust the process—deep healing doesn’t happen overnight, but consistent efforts make a lasting impact.   Social Media + Resources: Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: [email protected] — For information on any of my services!

In this week’s episode, Christine Hassler revisits the very first episode of Over It and On With It, taking us back to where it all began. As we move through a new moon in Pisces, a time of fresh starts, Christine invites us to reflect on our own new beginnings. She shares her journey of launching this podcast despite doubts and external discouragement, offering a powerful reminder to trust our intuition—even when things don’t make sense on the surface. Whether you're embarking on something new, re-evaluating your values during this Venus retrograde, or simply looking for inspiration to take that next step, this episode will remind you of the courage it takes to begin again. Christine also reflects on the deeper process of reprogramming our beliefs, navigating fear, and aligning with our truth.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you on the brink of a fresh start but feeling hesitant? Have you ever ignored your intuition because of fear or external doubts? Do you struggle with letting go of old expectations in order to create something new? Are you craving more clarity about what truly matters to you?   Key Insights and A-HAs: New beginnings often come with doubt, but trusting yourself is key. External discouragement doesn’t mean your idea isn’t valid—it just means it’s different. Reprogramming your mindset can be challenging, but it’s necessary for transformation. True alignment happens when we clear out fear-based decisions and follow what feels right. Growth isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about taking the next step in faith.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Reflect on where you’re being called to start fresh, even if it doesn’t make perfect sense. Identify areas where fear or external opinions are holding you back. Give yourself permission to re-evaluate your values and what truly drives you. Embrace the discomfort of growth—sometimes the hardest part is just taking that first step. Surround yourself with supportive voices that remind you of your power and potential.     Social Media + Resources: Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: [email protected] — For information on any of my services!

This coaching call is about feeling out of control when being in control is how we have compensated for not getting what we needed as children. Today’s caller, Cato, is pregnant and her lack of control is creating panic. She asks Christine for guidance on how to be okay with the changes in her life and her fear of feeling insignificant.   As children, we need to belong. We need love. And we need to feel safe. So, whatever we need to do and whoever we need to become to get those things, we do. The need for significance comes from not feeling enough as a child, not feeling significant just for who we are. So as an adult, we are constantly looking for people to see us, love us, and tell us how wonderful we are because that need was not fulfilled in childhood. Either we weren’t told we were good or we only were told we were good when we did something “good.”   Something important for people to talk about is that — Yes, having a baby is blissful and magical AND it can be really hard at times. There are times when the hard times are more than the amazing times and that’s okay. It is an identity death like no other and there’s no way around that.   The more we resist it and try to hang on to who we were or to keep that version of us, the more we are going to bump up against resistance. Because when we get pregnant and when we give birth, the old version of us dies and the maiden becomes the mother. We have to find our new identity at the same time that we are learning to care for another human being. It’s a lot.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you like control? Does it make you feel calm and safe? Do you consider yourself a capable, on-top-of-it person but something has completely thrown you off your game? Do you fear not being relevant or not being significant? Do you know how to receive, or do you believe that you must do to receive and be relevant?   Cato’s Question: Cato fears that her pregnancy will make her irrelevant and insignificant. She is asking for guidance on how to be okay with herself and what is happening.   Cato’s Key Insights and Ahas: She is excited about her pregnancy. Her pregnancy is forcing her to slow down. She signed up for Elementum Coaching Institute. Her pregnancy is bringing up depression and feelings of a lack of control. She is experiencing intense emotions and is unsure of herself for the first time. She realizes she has been using control to create safety. She fears slowing down and not being relevant or significant. Her inner child carries sadness and anger toward her father. She is unsure if she is worthy of raising her child. She is embodying receptivity. She feels closer to her womb and her heart. She has always kept busy to distract herself from her feelings. When she slows down, she feels restless. She finds purpose and meaning in her work.   How to Get Over It and On With It: Welcome the new feelings she is having. Listen to this episode when it airs. Embody what it feels like to be in her feminine. Be curious about her restlessness. Savor her pregnancy.   Resources: Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover, by Christine Hassler @ChristinHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram [email protected] [email protected] — For information on any of my services Get on the Waitlist to be coached on the show.

Today on CC we talk about something that completely shifted my perspective on health and fitness. For years, we’ve been told that the goal is to lose weight—shrink down, take up less space. But the truth is, focusing on the scale might be the biggest mistake when it comes to long-term health and strength. What really matters isn’t weight—it’s body composition. It’s about having more muscle and less excess fat because that’s what keeps you strong, energized, and capable as you age. My friend Holly Perkins has been helping women transform their bodies and health for 30 years, and she’s hosting a free three-day workshop called Mastering Your Body Composition. It’s all about shifting the focus from weight loss to building the kind of body that supports you for life. If you’ve been frustrated with the usual fitness advice and want real, lasting results, I highly recommend this. The workshop starts on March 6th, and it’s free to join.

In this week’s coaching session, Christine Hassler works with Yasmin, who is struggling with self-doubt when it comes to making life decisions. She questions whether she made the right choice in ending a long-term relationship and in reducing her work hours to pursue her art business. Christine helps her recognize patterns of over-personalization, self-blame, and the need for external validation, guiding her toward self-trust and clarity. This episode isn’t just about relationships or career—it’s about learning to trust yourself and your decisions. Christine provides Yasmin with tangible ways to move forward with confidence, helping her step out of regret and into alignment with her true desires.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you often doubt your choices and later regret them? Are you afraid that the things you truly want won’t happen? Do you constantly search for external validation before feeling secure in a decision? Are you stuck between moving forward and holding onto the past? Do you make choices based on what feels familiar rather than what’s truly aligned?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Self-trust is essential—without it, fear and doubt take over, making decisions more difficult. Over-personalizing situations, such as a partner’s actions after a breakup, can create unnecessary emotional weight. When we regret past choices, we often idealize the past and forget why we made those decisions in the first place. Healing and growth require stepping into new territory instead of clinging to familiar patterns. Success in career or relationships comes from embodying confidence, not waiting for external proof.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Identify your inner dialogue and challenge the stories you tell yourself about regret and self-worth. Shift from fear-based decision-making to trust-based choices by recognizing what aligns with your long-term vision. Take action despite uncertainty—trust that the right opportunities will emerge when you fully commit. Engage in daily practices that reinforce confidence, such as journaling about past decisions and affirming your own wisdom. Stop looking for guarantees—life doesn’t provide them, but trust and discernment can guide you to the best outcome.   Social Media + Resources:  Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: [email protected] — For information on any of my services!

In this week’s coaching session, Christine Hassler works with Ashlee, who is struggling with a question many people face: how do you know if you’re healed enough to enter a relationship? Ashlee shares her experiences with past relationships, childhood wounds, and codependent tendencies that have shaped her fears about choosing the right partner. This episode isn’t just about dating—it’s about learning to trust yourself and shifting from fear-based decision-making to a place of wisdom and self-awareness. Christine helps Ashlee identify where her fear is coming from, how to recognize patterns, and what it really means to be ready for a relationship.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Have you been in relationships where you felt like you were “dating your wounds” instead of a truly compatible partner? Do you ever question whether you’re healed enough to be in a relationship? Are you struggling to trust yourself when it comes to picking the right partner? Do you find yourself looking for unconditional love in a romantic relationship—something you may not have received in childhood? Are you allowing your inner child to do the picking in relationships rather than your wise, adult self?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Healing is a lifelong process, and relationships will always bring opportunities for growth. It’s important to recognize whether you are attracting a partner from a place of neediness and past wounds or from a place of confidence and self-trust. Codependent tendencies, such as trying to fix or save a partner, often stem from unmet childhood needs. Trusting yourself is essential to creating a healthy relationship—without self-trust, fear takes over. A partner cannot replace or compensate for the unconditional love you may have lacked in childhood—healthy relationships require personal responsibility for healing.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Identify your inner child’s unmet needs and recognize how they might be showing up in your dating patterns. Shift from fear-based decision-making to trust-based dating—stop selecting partners based on what feels familiar (even if it’s unhealthy) and focus on what aligns with your vision of a secure relationship. Heal before seeking healing from others—a healthy relationship can be supportive, but it should not be a substitute for deep personal work. Create clear relationship values—write out what a healthy, mature, and non-codependent relationship looks like. Reframe your relationship expectations—instead of expecting a partner to “fix” or “heal” you, seek someone who supports your journey while maintaining a strong sense of self.   Upcoming Event: Love Magnet Workshop If you’re looking to attract love from a place of wholeness, Christine’s free three-day “Love Magnet Workshop” is happening now. It’s not too late to join. Sign up at christinehassler.com/lovemagnet. Upcoming Retreat: March 2024 Christine and Stefanos will be hosting a transformational retreat at The Art of Living Center.

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.   Special Invitation: The Love Magnet Workshop If you’re looking to attract love into your life, join Christine for her free three-day workshop, Love Magnet, happening February 11-13 at 2 PM Pacific. Even if you can’t attend live, you’ll get access to the recording!

In this heartfelt and insightful episode, Christine Hassler coaches Julie through the challenges of navigating life’s "in-between" phases. Julie opens up about being in a transitional period, torn between trusting the natural flow of life and taking control to make things happen. This episode explores the delicate balance of surrender and action, and the deep fears and patterns that arise when we’re on the brink of transformation. Christine compassionately helps Julie unpack the subconscious blocks that come from past traumas, including a sudden divorce and a harrowing school shooting her daughter experienced. Together, they dive into Julie’s duality of being a grounded doer and a deeply spiritual being, providing insights on how to integrate these parts of herself to move forward with trust and healing. This coaching session is a powerful reminder that embracing uncertainty and facing our fears can lead to profound growth, and the ability to welcome love and connection into our lives. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you in an in-between phase, feeling torn between trusting the process and taking control? Do you struggle with the fear of losing love or experiencing vulnerability? Are past traumas or unresolved grief impacting your ability to fully embrace the present? What steps can you take to regulate your nervous system and allow love and trust to flow? Key Insights and A-HAs: Life’s transitions often bring up subconscious fears and protective patterns. True surrender and trust involve releasing attachment to specific outcomes and opening to possibilities. Grief and trauma, when unaddressed, can create blocks to receiving love and connection. Learning to regulate your nervous system and embody trust is key to welcoming new opportunities. How to Get Over It & On With It: Recognize and release unresolved grief or trauma through somatic or emotional healing practices. Practice nervous system regulation techniques, such as compassionate self-talk and mindfulness. Visualize and embody the feelings you desire in your future relationships. Create space for love by embracing vulnerability and letting go of hyper-vigilance.

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.   Special Invitation: March 2025 Retreat – From Wounds to Wisdom Join Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos for a life-changing retreat, From Wounds to Wisdom, taking place at the Art of Living Retreat Center from March 28–30, 2025.

In this transformative episode, Christine Hassler coaches Stacey, who opens up about living with misophonia, a neurological condition that causes extreme sensitivity to certain sounds, triggering fight-or-flight responses. Stacey shares how this condition has impacted her relationships, including her family and romantic connections, leaving her feeling isolated and doubtful about her ability to maintain long-term intimacy. Christine compassionately guides Stacey to explore the interplay between her condition, beliefs about herself, and fears around relationships. Together, they delve into the deeper layers of guilt, shame, and self-worth that have influenced Stacey's ability to open herself to love and connection. This heartfelt coaching call is a powerful reminder that while we all have challenges, they do not define our worthiness or capacity for relationships. Christine offers practical insights and tools to help Stacey and listeners embrace hope, reframe their beliefs, and find empowering ways to move forward.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you feel like a diagnosis or past experience has become a barrier to forming or maintaining relationships? Are you carrying guilt or shame over how your challenges have affected others? Do you feel stuck in a pattern of self-protection that limits your ability to experience intimacy? Are you ready to explore new perspectives and approaches to shift your mindset and open to new possibilities?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Our challenges, no matter how overwhelming, do not make us unworthy of love or connection. Beliefs about ourselves and our perceived "flaws" often become self-fulfilling prophecies, but they can be shifted. Neurodivergent conditions, like misophonia, can be addressed with a combination of self-compassion, rewiring techniques, and relational support. Everyone brings challenges into relationships—it's about how we work through them together. How to Get Over It & On With It: Explore resources like Dr. Robert Melillo's work on brain balance, and rewiring techniques for neurological conditions. Focus on the gifts and strengths you bring to relationships, rather than fixating on challenges. Practice belief work, such as Byron Katie’s “The Work,” to shift limiting narratives and open yourself to new possibilities. Consider joining a supportive program or retreat to broaden your perspective and strengthen your inner resources.   Special Invitation: March 2025 Retreat – From Wounds to Wisdom Join Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos for a life-changing retreat, From Wounds to Wisdom, taking place at the Art of Living Retreat Center from March 28–30, 2025.

In this insightful episode, Christine coaches Alecks, who is navigating the fine line between self-care and selfishness. Alecks shares her struggles with balancing her own needs and feelings of guilt when caring for her family, particularly her mother. Together, they dive deep into inner child work, exploring how unresolved childhood wounds and patterns of self-abandonment can manifest in adult relationships and personal choices. Christine guides Alecks to connect with her inner child, offering tools to repair the sense of abandonment and foster a secure attachment within herself. This heartfelt conversation sheds light on how we can honor our own needs while still showing compassion for others, ultimately empowering us to make choices rooted in love rather than guilt.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you often feel guilty for taking time for yourself or prioritizing your own needs? Are you unclear about the difference between self-care and being selfish? Do you struggle with feelings of abandonment or guilt when dealing with family obligations? Are you ready to strengthen the relationship with your inner child and break old patterns?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Inner child work is an ongoing process that fosters healing and connection. Guilt often stems from unresolved childhood patterns of self-silencing and overcompensation. True self-care involves choosing from a place of love, not guilt or obligation. Repairing the relationship with your inner child can reduce feelings of abandonment and foster inner peace.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Check in with your inner child regularly to understand their needs and feelings. Practice secure attachment techniques, such as clear communication and creating agreements. Reflect on where you might be operating out of guilt or obligation instead of authentic care. Take actionable steps to balance family responsibilities with your own well-being.   Special Invitation: March 2025 Retreat – From Wounds to Wisdom Join Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos for a life-changing retreat, From Wounds to Wisdom, taking place at the Art of Living Retreat Center from March 28–30, 2025.

In this heartfelt episode, Christine coaches Marie, who is navigating transitions in both her career and personal life. As Marie opens up about feelings of inadequacy and fear stemming from her childhood, Christine helps her uncover the deeper roots of her lack of confidence and offers powerful tools for healing. Together, they explore how childhood wounds manifest in adult relationships and career dynamics, and how embracing vulnerability can lead to greater self-worth and confidence. If you’ve ever felt held back by old patterns or struggled with confidence in relationships or at work, this episode will provide clarity, hope, and actionable insights for your journey.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you struggle with speaking up for yourself or setting boundaries at work or in relationships? Are there moments from your childhood that might still be influencing your confidence today? Do you find that a lack of confidence in one area of your life impacts other areas? Are you ready to uncover and heal old wounds to step into your full potential?   Key Insights and A-HA’s: Childhood wounds, like parental separation or taking on a caregiver role too early, can create patterns of self-silencing and people-pleasing. A lack of confidence often stems from not being allowed to express emotions or needs as a child. Healing involves doing for yourself now what you couldn’t do as a child, such as using your voice and setting boundaries. Confidence grows through radical self-acceptance and addressing unmet needs with compassion and clarity.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Reflect on how past wounds are showing up in your current relationships and career. Allow yourself to express repressed emotions, like anger, in healthy, somatic ways. Practice asserting your needs and opinions in situations where you typically remain silent. Use moments of discomfort as opportunities to break free from old patterns and embrace growth.   Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by AquaTru, the revolutionary water purification system that ensures your drinking water is clean, safe, and free of harmful contaminants.

In this powerful episode, Christine coaches Laura, who is wrestling with resentment and uncertainty after making a big decision for her relationship. Through a deeply honest conversation, they explore the roots of Laura’s feelings—how past childhood experiences influence current dynamics—and discover the healing opportunities that can emerge from leaning into love. If you’ve ever felt conflicted about a choice, especially one made for someone else, this episode will inspire you to trust your journey, release old patterns, and step into growth.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Have you made a decision that you now doubt or feel resentment about? Do you feel like you’re sacrificing your needs for someone else’s? Are your relationships triggering patterns from your childhood? Do you run from healthy situations because of fear or a desire to retreat to your comfort zone?   Key Insights and A-Ha’s: Past childhood experiences, especially enmeshment and codependency, can shape how we respond to adult relationships. Healthy love can feel uncomfortable when it triggers old protective patterns, such as pushing intimacy away. Leaning into love requires trust, vulnerability, and addressing what your inner child needs to feel safe. Gratitude and clarity about what you need now can help shift feelings of sacrifice into empowerment and growth.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Recognize where you may be projecting old wounds onto current relationships. Allow yourself to feel and release anger or resentment in healthy, somatic ways. Identify what you need to feel secure, free, and supported in your relationships. Reframe your decision as an opportunity for healing and relational growth.   Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by AirDoctor, the top-rated air purifier that removes 99.99% of dangerous indoor pollutants.

Whether you're longing for a relationship, financial stability, or achieving a cherished dream, this episode provides powerful insights to help you shift from striving to trusting. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you clear about what you want in a relationship or other area of your life, but it just isn’t showing up? Have you tried both surrendering and taking action without finding the right balance? Do you feel stuck between desiring something deeply and trusting it will happen? Are you embodying trust and gratitude, or are you in a state of striving and scarcity? Key Insights and A-Ha’s: Mouette’s journey highlights how fears and protective patterns can block the very things we desire. Christine shares how aligning with trust and gratitude shifts the energy needed to manifest dreams. Balancing longing with non-attachment is a powerful practice for attracting your desires.

Johnny shares how he’s moved through deep personal growth and breathwork practices to reach a place of self-love, but finds himself wrestling with the balance between desire and detachment.   Christine guides Johnny to embrace the concept of longing without suffering, encouraging him to move from a place of pushing and striving to one of trust and being.

This episode offers profound insights into how we can call in our dreams—whether they be relationships, careers, or other goals—by shifting our approach from doing to being.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you clear about what you want in a relationship or other area of your life, but it just isn’t showing up? Have you tried both surrendering and taking action without finding the right balance? Do you feel stuck between desiring something deeply and trusting it will happen? Are you embodying trust and gratitude, or are you in a state of striving and scarcity?   Key Insights and A-Ha’s: Johnny’s journey highlights how self-worth and personal growth can lead to profound realizations about what we truly want. Christine shares how desires can stem from a spiritual knowing of what’s meant for us, and how embodying trust shifts the energy we bring to our goals. The importance of letting go of old patterns of striving and embracing a state-of-being is emphasized as a powerful practice for attracting what we want. This episode explores practical steps to balance longing and detachment, including visualization exercises and daily embodiment practices.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Acknowledge the push-pull dynamic in your desires and find a way to embody gratitude and trust. Use embodiment practices, such as visualization and intentional conversations, to align with the energy of your desires. Focus on living authentically and fully in the present moment rather than fixating on the outcome. Reframe moments of waiting as opportunities for growth and preparation rather than obstacles.   Sponsor: This week’s sponsor is AquaTru, offering high-quality water purification systems that use reverse osmosis technology.

Together, they unpack the importance of honoring one’s truth, and voice in relationships and in life.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you find yourself putting others' needs before your own in relationships?

In this transformative coaching session, Christine guides Sarah, a 39-year-old single woman, through releasing guilt, healing her self-worth, and letting go of codependent patterns in relationships. Sarah shares the profound guilt she feels after leaving an abusive marriage, particularly since her ex-husband later passed away. Struggling with feelings of responsibility, she’s found herself repeating self-sacrificing patterns and attracting emotionally unavailable partners. Christine helps Sarah uncover how her childhood experiences of emotional neglect and caretaking shaped her beliefs about love and self-worth.   As they delve deeper, Sarah realizes that her guilt and sense of responsibility are rooted in early family dynamics, where she learned to prioritize others’ needs over her own. Christine encourages her to reconnect with her inner “adult self”—a wise, grounded voice within her that initially gave her the strength to leave her toxic marriage. This part of Sarah is key to rebuilding her confidence, trusting her instincts, and setting healthy boundaries.   The conversation highlights how our subconscious often seeks familiar relationship dynamics from childhood, making it challenging to break-free from harmful cycles. For Sarah, Christine suggests focusing on cultivating self-worth by reframing her inner dialogue and practicing self-care over dating. By pausing romantic pursuits, Sarah can create the inner stability needed to attract healthier connections, and leave behind codependent tendencies.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Have you been drawn to relationships where your needs are ignored or undervalued? Do you struggle with guilt when setting boundaries or prioritizing self-care? Are you holding yourself responsible for something that was never truly in your control?   The Guest’s Key Insights & A-HA’s: Sarah realizes she has been unconsciously choosing emotionally unavailable partners, mirroring her unmet needs from childhood. She understands that her lingering guilt about leaving her ex-husband has fueled codependent behaviors. Her “adult Sarah” voice, which led her to leave her marriage, is an essential inner resource she can rely on. Sarah sees how the part of her focused-on guilt, and self-punishment needs to make way for self-love and healing.   How to Get Over It and On With It: Prioritize Self-Worth: Reframe your self-image by focusing on your worth outside of relationship dynamics. Reconnect with Your Inner Child: Address the needs of your inner child and give yourself permission to release old survival strategies. Focus on Self-Growth: Take dating off the table temporarily to focus on self-healing practices. Seek Healthy Relational Dynamics: Cultivate relationships where you feel seen, safe, and appreciated rather than diminished.   Sponsor: Caraway Cookware - Caraway offers beautifully designed, non-toxic ceramic cookware that’s both safe and stylish.

In this episode of "Over It and On With It," Christine Hassler coaches Ariana, who struggles with guilt related to her relationship with her mother and aunt. Ariana grew up in an emotionally challenging environment with caregivers who struggled with alcohol dependency. As an adult, she experiences guilt around maintaining boundaries, especially as her mother and aunt react negatively to her attempts to stand up for herself. Christine helps Ariana understand that her guilt is tied to deep-rooted patterns from her childhood and supports her in releasing feelings that no longer serve her well-being.   Through their conversation, Christine guides Ariana to recognize that she’s breaking a generational pattern. She encourages Ariana to focus on the family she’s building, rather than being consumed by the dynamics she grew up with. This episode explores healing, setting boundaries, and the journey toward liberation from generational patterns.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you feel guilty when you set boundaries, especially with family members? Have you ever felt responsible for the emotional well-being of a parent? Are you at a point in your life where you’re ready to break free from family patterns that no longer serve you? Do you struggle with guilt about prioritizing your own well-being?   The Guest's Key Insights & A-HA's: Ariana’s guilt stems from a desire to feel like a “good daughter,” even at the cost of her own peace. Christine highlights that Ariana’s guilt is unproductive and rooted in her past survival mechanisms. By releasing guilt and setting clear boundaries, Ariana can create a healthier, more peaceful life for herself and her future family. The session emphasizes the importance of breaking generational patterns, and choosing to prioritize one’s own emotional well-being.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Reflect on whether your guilt serves a productive purpose or if it’s keeping you tied to unhelpful dynamics. Practice boundary-setting with compassion, knowing that prioritizing yourself is not selfish. Consider what kind of family environment you want to create and work toward it, regardless of past experiences. Release attachment to controlling others’ emotions or well-being, focusing instead on your own growth.   Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by AquaTru.

In this episode of Over It and On With It, Christine coaches Gloria, who grapples with balancing anxiety and confidence. Gloria's core wound stems from childhood abandonment, which causes her to feel unsafe in expressing herself fully, especially in public settings. Although she has a supportive partner and is pursuing trauma-informed coaching, her fears of rejection and failure in her new career keep resurfacing. Christine helps Gloria navigate her anxiety and step into her confidence by guiding her to detach from the narrative she tells herself about being "too much."   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you struggle with balancing anxiety and confidence in your personal or professional life? Is your core wound rooted in abandonment or rejection, making you feel unsafe in being your authentic self? Do you talk yourself out of pursuing something because of fear of rejection or failure? How do you react to feedback or criticism? Do you internalize it or use it as a learning tool? Are you ready to step out of your story and into your authentic power?   Gloria’s Key Insights & Aha Moments: Gloria recognizes that her fear of rejection ties back to childhood wounds of feeling abandoned and "too much." She acknowledges that despite her current partner being emotionally supportive, her fear of public speaking and judgment continues to manifest. Christine helps Gloria realize that her story of always being in "fight or flight" is not her reality, and she has made more progress than she gives herself credit for. By shifting focus from her fear to her strengths, Gloria can step into confidence.   How to Get Over It & On with It: Practice emotional grounding and self-affirmation to challenge the narrative of being too much or too anxious. Use movement or expressive outlets like dancing to release anxiety and reconnect with your true essence. Reframe nervousness or anxiety as a natural response to stepping outside of your comfort zone, not as a sign of incapability. Trust that confidence grows through action, even when you feel nervous—courage is built by doing the hard thing.   Sponsor: Air Doctor: Air Doctor purifiers eliminate 99.99% of tested bacteria and viruses, allergens, mold, and other harmful contaminants in your indoor air.

In this episode of Over It and On With It, Christine Hassler speaks with Hyesha, who seeks advice on managing her empathic tendencies, especially the overwhelming emotions she feels when witnessing suffering. Christine helps Hyesha navigate the delicate balance between feeling deeply and maintaining emotional boundaries, particularly when her empathic abilities make her overly sensitive to the pain of others. Hyesha opens up about her experiences of being triggered by everyday situations involving children or animals, which leads her into "worst-case-scenario" thinking. Christine assists Hyesha in understanding how her heightened sensitivity stems from unhealed childhood wounds and limiting beliefs. Through this powerful coaching session, Hyesha learns practical ways to embrace her empathic gifts without being consumed by them. Christine emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between empathy and sympathy, encouraging Hyesha to hold space for others' suffering without taking it on herself. She also guides Hyesha in recognizing her own triggers and using them as opportunities for self-compassion and healing. Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by others' emotions, to the point that it drains you? Are you an empath who struggles to maintain boundaries between your feelings and those of others? How do you respond when you're triggered by the suffering of children, animals, or even people on the news? Can you hold space for others' emotions without going into "rescue mode" or becoming emotionally paralyzed? Hyesha's Key Insights & A-HA's: Hyesha shares how hearing a child or animal cry often triggers a response that doesn't match the reality of the situation, rooted in past trauma. Christine helps Hyesha identify the emotional patterns that cause her to react so strongly and teaches her how to use her empathic abilities constructively. Hyesha recognizes the need to mother herself and attend to her own emotional needs when triggered by outside stimuli. The session highlights the difference between empathy and sympathy, showing how Hyesha can feel deeply without becoming overwhelmed. How to Get Over It & On With It: Practice distinguishing between empathy (feeling without judgment) and sympathy (feeling sorry for others), and strive to stay in an empathetic space. Acknowledge that your reactions to certain situations may be based on unresolved emotional wounds, and use these moments as invitations to self-care. Use grounding techniques to regulate your nervous system when you start to feel overwhelmed by others' emotions. Recognize that feeling deeply is a gift, but it doesn’t require you to take on the burden of fixing or saving others.
