Struggling with money stress even when you’re being responsible? In this episode, I explore how your relationship with money is shaped by subconscious beliefs, nervous system regulation, and childhood conditioning—and how shifting these patterns can lead to more ease, alignment, and financial freedom.   Join Kate Northrup’s free Good with Money workshop here:

Life Coaching with Christine Hassler

What happens when loss isn’t just one event—but becomes your entire reality? In this deeply emotional and raw coaching session, Christine works with Tiffany, who has experienced an overwhelming series of losses in a short period of time—losing her father, her longtime partner, her beloved pet, her home, and a major part of her physical body through surgery. When grief stacks like this, it doesn’t just feel heavy—it can begin to feel like your new normal. Tiffany shares how she feels untethered, disconnected, and unsure how to move forward. Even with a background in personal growth...

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...

In this relatable and validating coaching session, Christine works with Kate, who has spent over a decade deeply committed to her healing journey. Despite major progress—healthy relationships, career growth, and emotional awareness—she still experiences intense nervous system reactions like anxiety, overwhelm, and shutdown.

Have you ever done the work to leave situations that no longer serve you—only to find that life still feels strangely flat? In this deeply honest coaching session, Christine works with Amber, who has spent the past five years navigating major life changes including a divorce, a difficult relationship that activated childhood wounds, and the grief that followed.

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...

Life Coaching with Christine Hassler

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. Christine helps Amanda uncover the deeper root of the pattern: the inner child seeking to recreate familiar dynamics from childhood in hopes of finally receiving the love,...

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...

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...

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...

What happens when you finally attract the relationship you’ve been manifesting — yet part of you feels like pulling away? In this powerful coaching session, Christine works with Amy, who has called in an emotionally attuned, stable, loving partner after six years of being single. The catch: he has two children, which had always been a non-negotiable for her.

Christine helps Amy uncover how her fear isn’t really about the kids — it’s about control, certainty, and the vulnerability of allowing love to arrive in an unexpected package. Together, they explore how protector parts attempt to maintain safety when life doesn’t unfold according to the plan, and how real love invites us out of control and into trust.

If you’ve ever received exactly what you wanted but still felt unsettled, this episode will help you see where fear is masquerading as intuition — and how to shift from protecting your heart to opening it. 

 

Consider / Ask Yourself:

  • Have you ever gotten what you wanted, only to feel uneasy or doubtful afterward?
  • Do you equate safety with certainty and control?
  • Are you focusing on what you might lose instead of what you can give?
  • Do you feel afraid to fully say yes to something because you can’t predict the outcome?

 

Key Insights and A-HAs:

  • Fear often disguises itself as intuition when control feels threatened.
  • Uncertainty is not danger — it’s the doorway to love and expansion.
  • Relationships that stretch us emotionally are invitations into abundance, not scarcity.
  • A partner’s capacity for love often expands through parenthood.
  • You cannot love fully while keeping one foot out the door.

 

How to Deepen the Work:

  • Notice when your mind jumps to “what’s next” instead of being present.
  • Ask yourself whether your concerns come from fear or from your heart.
  • Shift from “What am I getting?” to “How can I give love here?”
  • Practice owning your yes instead of lingering in emotional hesitation.
  • Allow yourself to experience love without guarantees.
