It has been a few weeks since we’ve had a new episode and this one is a short one about self-compassion.

Ep. 130: Christina Rasmussen - Express Yourself

Dear Life with Christina Rasmussen

Ep. 129: Christina Rasmussen - The Open Sea

Dear Life with Christina Rasmussen

I talk about making sure that in your life, in your relationships, with your family, your friends, and with yourself that you honor the open sea perspective and the knowing that you have because of the losses that you’ve experienced. You are not here to settle. You are here to live the life that you’re supposed to have.

Ep. 128: Christina Rasmussen - Grief and Joy in the Holiday Season

Dear Life with Christina Rasmussen

The holiday season is upon us and so are the complex feelings that can come with it. I talk about the contrast of the happiness of the holidays and the pain of loss, anxiety, and worry that can plague so many of us. I also talk about the importance of trusting that we can show up as ourselves without always preparing so much. I want you to try to make space for both sadness and joy during this time. They are two sides of the same coin.

Ep. 124: Christina Rasmussen - Going Back Home

Dear Life with Christina Rasmussen

Christina talks about the places she has traveled recently and how important it is to make mindful decisions about returning to places that may hold painful memories for you. With so many beautiful places in the world to visit, why return to the ones that will bring you a lot of loss?

More Episodes

On today’s episode, I have one of my favorite human beings. Steven Kotler has researched, studied, experienced, and presented the information about flow and peak performance in a beautiful way. We talk about how grief, tragedy, and loss is influential in making the impossible happen and creating new realities for ourselves. The flow state is accessible to everyone and is a universal experience.

After this conversation, you will understand how flow can benefit you, how grit and resilience are essential traits, and how fear is experienced by everyone (but you don’t have to see it as an obstacle).

I’d love to know what you think. Please share it with your friends and family, and be sure to tag me if you share it on social media so that I can say thank you. I’m @christinastars on Instagram and @ChristinaRasmussen2014 on Facebook.
