Over It And On With It

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.
