info_outlineIn this episode, we speak with Spiritual Life Coach Kristina Gauthier. Kristina’s early years were far from picture-perfect; she was born into a family with a colossal amount of trauma on both her mother's and father’s sides. Throughout Kristina’s life, her late mother struggled with her drug addiction, and her dad is a well-known Hell Angel. After years of dating abusive men, struggling with her own drug addiction, and feeling profoundly insecure and unworthy of love or life, she chose to invest in herself and heal. In 2017, Kristina's late sister died of a fentanyl overdose, and that’s when everything shifted for her. Despite where Kristina came from, she chose to lean into her darkness till she found her light and rose above the ashes, making her the first to break the cycle within her lineage. Not only is Kristina the first to break the cycle, but she's now rewriting her lineage by showing up for herself and her late sisters’ two children differently than anyone has done before. Kristina is proof that regardless of what cards you were dealt with when you choose to come home to yourself and heal your trauma, you, too, can turn your life around and create the life you’ve always desired.
From losing her mother and sister to taking on the role of a full-time guardian for her niece, Kristina navigated immense challenges with grace and determination. She highlighted the importance of setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and choosing healing over destructive coping mechanisms.
Kristina's journey to sobriety and self-empowerment was a central theme in the episode, showcasing her unwavering commitment to personal growth and transformation. She shared her breathwork practices, Kundalini meditation, and journaling as tools for regulating her emotions and maintaining inner peace.
