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...

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.

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_outlineWhat 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 and healing work, she finds herself in survival mode—struggling to feel grounded, supported, or clear on her next step.
Christine offers a compassionate reminder: grief isn’t something we’re meant to process alone. Before trying to “figure it out,” we need to be held, supported, and allowed to feel what’s real.
This episode is a powerful invitation to slow down, honor your grief, and recognize that healing begins with being witnessed—not fixed.
Press play to experience what it looks like to be held in the middle of deep loss—and why that may be the most important step forward.
Consider / Ask Yourself
- Have you experienced multiple losses that left you feeling overwhelmed or untethered?
- Do you find yourself intellectualizing your pain instead of fully feeling it?
- Are you trying to “figure out your next step” before fully processing your grief?
- Do you have a safe space or support system where you feel truly held?
Key Insights and A-Ha’s
- Grief compounds when multiple losses occur close together, often pushing us into survival mode.
- Intellectualizing pain can create distance from the emotional processing we truly need.
- Healing grief is not a solo process—we need safe, supportive containers.
- Being “held” emotionally is just as important as any tool or strategy.
- Sometimes life strips everything away so we can reconnect with who we truly are.
How to Deepen the Work
- Reflect on whether you’ve given yourself permission to fully feel your grief.
- Notice where you may be detaching or “clinicalizing” your emotions.
- Seek out supportive spaces—whether through community, friendship, or professional guidance.
- Practice being with your emotions rather than rushing to fix or solve them.
