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.

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...

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...

Despite strong intuition warning her early on, she finds herself staying in these relationships until they reach a painful breaking point.

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.

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...

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, validation, and stability that were missing. Through the conversation, Amanda begins to see how self-worth, validation, and unconscious beliefs about love have been influencing her choices.

If you’ve ever wondered why you continue to repeat the same relationship dynamics — even after years of personal development work — this episode will help you understand how real change happens through re-parenting yourself and building a secure relationship within. 

 

Consider / Ask Yourself:

  • Do you notice yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships?
  • Are you drawn to people who need fixing, saving, or rescuing?
  • Do you sometimes ignore your intuition early in relationships?
  • Do you place partners on a pedestal and abandon your own needs?
  • Are feelings of shame or self-judgment keeping you stuck in old patterns?

 

Key Insights and A-HAs:

  • Relationship patterns often mirror unresolved childhood dynamics.
  • The inner child seeks familiar situations in hopes of finally getting unmet needs fulfilled.
  • Intellectual understanding alone does not change subconscious patterns.
  • Self-worth struggles can lead to placing others on a pedestal.
  • Shame heals through compassion and understanding — not judgment.
  • Real change happens through re-parenting yourself in real time.

 

How to Deepen the Work:

  • Practice validating your feelings instead of dismissing them.
  • When shame or self-judgment arises, respond with compassion: “Of course I feel this way.”
  • Notice when younger parts of you are driving your decisions in relationships.
  • Begin relating to yourself as a supportive parent would to a child.
  • Shift from analyzing patterns to actively rewiring your responses in everyday moments.
