CC: Get Good with Money: It’s Not What You Think with Kate Northrup
Life Coaching with Christine Hassler
In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Kate Northrup for a conversation about why more money doesn’t always create the sense of security we think it will. We talk about the deeper patterns that drive how we earn, spend, and relate to money—and how our nervous system plays a much bigger role than most people realize. Because if you’ve been doing all the “right” things but still don’t feel the way you expected to, you’re not alone. Kate shares how real change comes from creating internal steadiness first, so that growth actually feels sustainable—not stressful. She’s...

Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns (And How to Finally Rewire Them)
Life Coaching with Christine Hassler
Today’s episode is a little different from my usual format. I’m going to start by sharing why inner child work matters so much, why so many people struggle to change patterns even after years of insight and therapy, and what actually needs to shift at the subconscious level for real transformation to happen. And then after that, I’m going to play a recording from a live Q&A and alumni panel that I hosted about my program, Rewired. In this conversation you’ll hear people who have actually gone through the work talk about their experience — what changed for them, what surprised...

Why do we keep repeating relationship patterns even when we know better? In this honest and insightful coaching session, Christine works with Amanda, who recognizes a long-standing pattern of choosing partners with narcissistic traits, emotional avoidance, or chaotic lifestyles. Despite strong intuition warning her early on, she finds herself staying in these relationships until they reach a painful breaking point.

EP 528: When the Answer Is “I Don’t Know” with Yasmine
Life Coaching with Christine Hassler
What if the most honest answer right now is… I don’t know? In this thoughtful and vulnerable coaching session, Christine works with Yasmine, who is navigating uncertainty in her relationship. She deeply values the emotional connection she shares with her partner, yet finds herself triggered by his financial instability and questioning whether this is a deal breaker. Christine helps Yasmine explore something deeper than “Should I stay or should I go?” Instead of rushing toward certainty, they unpack the childhood programming around independence, financial security, and self-reliance...

CC: I'm In the Hot Seat! (What Inner Child Work Really Looks Like)
Life Coaching with Christine Hassler
In this episode, I’m on the other side of the mic. I was interviewed by coach and podcast host Andy Hoffer about inner child work — not as a theory, but as the deep patterning that continues to shape our relationships, decisions, and self-trust as adults. We talk about why so many people can be successful, self-aware, and still feel stuck… how childhood survival strategies quietly show up under stress… and what it actually takes to untangle these patterns in a way that creates real change. If you’ve done a lot of personal growth work but notice the same reactions, habits, or...

EP 527: Why Forgiveness Isn't Always the Anwser with Sylvie
Life Coaching with Christine Hassler
What if forgiveness isn’t the next step? In this deeply honest coaching session, Christine works with Sylvie, who has been trying for years to reach forgiveness after a profound betrayal involving her ex-husband and a longtime friend. Despite therapy, spiritual work, and understanding that “forgiveness is for you,” she finds herself stuck. Christine helps Sylvie uncover something powerful: sometimes forgiveness isn’t blocked because we’re not spiritual enough — it’s blocked because we’ve skipped a step. When betrayal runs deep, especially when it touches childhood wounds of not...
info_outlineIn this deeply moving session, Christine supports Sheylee—a devoted mother who is pregnant with her seventh child and struggling under the weight of shame, overwhelm, and fear. After believing she was done having children, this unexpected pregnancy has stirred painful emotions, identity confusion, and unresolved relational patterns in her partnership.
Christine helps her gently unravel the layers of guilt, inner criticism, and pressure she has carried for years. Together, they explore how to hold two truths at once: loving a child while not feeling joyful about the circumstances, being grateful and overwhelmed at the same time, and honoring both human emotion and spiritual perspective.
If you’ve ever felt shame for how you feel, feared getting “stuck” in a hard season, or struggled to access compassion for yourself, this conversation offers relief, grounding, and a renewed sense of permission to be honest about your emotional reality.
Consider / Ask Yourself:
- Is there something in your life you believe you “should” feel happy about—but you don’t?
- Do you fear that if you let yourself feel your emotions, you won’t be able to stop?
- Do you often feel unsupported—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally?
- Are you harder on yourself than anyone else is?
- Do you hear an inner critic more loudly than your own compassion?
Key Insights and A-HAs:
- Shame about how you feel is often more damaging than the feelings themselves.
- It is possible—and healthy—to hold two truths at once (“both/and”).
- Emotional release is not falling apart; it’s moving energy through the body.
- Many women confuse caretaking with connection or worthiness.
- Inner critics often come from childhood patterns of control, hypervigilance, or judgment.
- Spiritual support (God, Mother Mary, or a higher loving presence) can hold us when people cannot.
How to Deepen the Work:
- Practice the both/and: “I love this baby AND I am overwhelmed.”
- Create space each day to sit with your feelings rather than suppress them.
- Replace harsh self-talk with compassion through simple practices like Ho’oponopono:
I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. - Call on unseen spiritual support when human support feels unavailable.
- Identify where old survival strategies are still active—and begin updating them with gentler internal dialogue.
- Explore ways to communicate needs in your partnership with clarity rather than collapse.
