Why You Self-Sabotage Success & How to Expand Your Capacity to Receive | Ep. 186
XPAND CAPACITY™
What happens when you finally get the money, the relationship, the health, the title, or the business growth you worked so hard to create—but you still find a way to lose it? In this episode, Dr. Christine explores the art and science of receiving: the inner capacity required to hold success, sustain growth, and stop turning every opportunity into another transaction. She shares a vulnerable look at her own high-achieving pattern—building success, then sacrificing her health, relationships, presence, and identity in the process. She also reflects on the difference...

I Quadrupled My Income and Burned Out: The Hidden Cost of Success | Ep. 185
XPAND CAPACITY™
Show notes If you’re in a midlife crisis, feeling lost in your 40s, or successful on paper and asking “Is this it?”, this episode is for you. In 2020, Dr. Christine Manukyan walked away from 11 years at Cedars-Sinai, a stable income and the identity she had built over 20 years in healthcare. She didn’t have a plan. She had an inner whisper she couldn’t ignore anymore. In this episode, Christine shares what happened on day three of Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within that made her quit her job days later. She talks about the burnout that hit after she quadrupled her income, and...

Why Your Manifestation Isn’t Working Yet | Ep. 184
XPAND CAPACITY™
Episode description What if the reason your biggest goals feel difficult to create is that you are trying to manifest them from your head instead of from a regulated nervous system? In Episode 184 of the Expand podcast, we explore the connection between manifestation, nervous system regulation, intuition, and soul-level alignment. The host shares why creating from survival mode or ego can lead us toward goals that look impressive but do not truly feel right—and how pausing, healing, and creating a sense of safety can expand our capacity to receive what we genuinely desire. This...

Why Success Can Still Feel Lonely: The Story Behind XPAND | Ep. 182
XPAND CAPACITY™

In this Season 7 premiere, I’m sharing the story behind XPAND, why human connection matters more than ever, and what it means to create an extraordinary life through Longevity, Love, and Legacy.

Join me for the 22-Day XPAND Capacity Reset, starting September 28. For 22 days, we’ll spend just 22 minutes a day helping you recognize the patterns keeping you...

Introducing Xpand Capacity™ Reset: A 22-Day Nervous System & Identity Expansion | Ep. 180
XPAND CAPACITY™
Your nervous system is running the show — and if it's dysregulated, so is everything else. Your decisions. Your revenue. Your relationships. Your capacity to receive what you've worked so hard to build. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact framework I use with 7, 8, and 9-figure founders to break through the invisible ceiling that no strategy, supplement, or success hack has been able to touch. I'm walking you through the 5R Protocol — the five-step process at the heart of the 22-Day Xpand Capacity™ Reset: Recognize — identify the dysregulation patterns...

Healing Beyond The Prescription: Intimate Interview With Dr. Samantha Harte | Ep. 179
XPAND CAPACITY™
One man in his 40s walks out of the hospital with more than 20 prescriptions and we can’t stop thinking about what that says about modern healthcare. We sit down with Dr. Christine, a former hospital pharmacist who made a radical career pivot from dispensing meds to practicing holistic healing, functional medicine, and nervous system work. Together, we unpack the moment an identity breaks, the fear that follows, and the freedom that comes when you finally admit, “This isn’t who I am anymore.” We go deep on prevention and root cause healing: how stress, sleep, trauma, and trapped...

Burnout to Capacity: How Overwhelm Costs High Performers Millions | Ep. 178
XPAND CAPACITY™
You're not lazy. You're not weak. You're dysregulated — and it's costing you more than you know. In this episode, I sit down for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what burnout really is, why it lives in the body long before it shows up in your bank account, and why the highest-performing women I know are making their worst decisions from a place of complete nervous system collapse. We go deep on functional freeze — what it looks like, why it's so easy to miss, and why so many high performers mistake it for discipline. We talk about how emotions don't just affect your mood — they...

The Pivot: Unbecoming to Become my Billion-Dollar Identity™ | Ep. 177
XPAND CAPACITY™
Episode Title: The Pivot: Unbecoming to Become My Billion-Dollar Identity™ What does it actually cost to stop performing a life that was never yours? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the pivot — the real one. The one that didn't look like a strategy. It looked like surrender. I share how I invested $650K into myself — not into a business, not into a brand — into the unbecoming. Into stripping away the identity that was keeping me stuck, safe, and small. I talk about what that actually meant, what I had to walk away from, and why I'd do it again without hesitation. ...
info_outlineTraditional healthcare is broken—and if you're a healthcare professional, you already know it. But what most clinicians don't realize is that while the system crumbles, a $77 billion opportunity is exploding right in front of them.
In this episode, we're diving into the future of healthcare, why the wellness industry represents the biggest professional opportunity in a generation, and why the next 90 days are strategically critical for any healthcare professional ready to expand beyond traditional practice limitations.
If you're a PharmD, MD, DO, NP, RN, PT, PA, or any healthcare professional feeling trapped by burnout, student loans, and a system that won't let you truly heal patients—this episode is your roadmap out.
