Today's bonus episode of Everything Belongs features hosts Mike Petrow, Carmen Acevedo Butcher, and Drew Jackson in conversation with Chichi Agorom, author of The Enneagram for Black Liberation: Return to Who You Are Beneath the Armor You Carry.   Listen in to explore Chichi's key insights:  Our Enneagram type can be like a suit of armor: protective but sometimes restrictive. She defines vulnerability as a willingness to be impacted without controlling the outcome.  Her three-part framework of power: power over, power within, and power with.  Why collective, shared power matters, especially in moments of cultural upheaval.  The distinction between information, knowledge, and embodied wisdom.  Chichi closes by reflecting on how each Enneagram type carries its own “superpower” that can serve the collective when held with awareness rather than defensiveness.   Today's episode asks us each: Can we see healing not as a solo pursuit, but as a collective effort moving us towards mutual liberation?  Find the transcript for this episode here.

In this high-vibrational episode of Deepen with Christina, host Christina Weber is joined by body therapist, breathwork facilitator, and gene keys guide Dina Maayan. Fresh off the heels of the latest WeDeepen Love Immersion, the duo breaks down the serious mechanics of play and why infusing absolute silliness into modern connection is the ultimate medicine for shifting out of psychological heaviness. Dina pulls back the curtain on her cosmic origin story with her fiancé (Acro Yoga founder Jason Nemer)—involving smuggled Hawaiian mangoes, a symbolic totem box, and a literal coconut tree climb—while mapping out how human beings can alchemize deep childhood panic attacks into modern nervous system mastery. Main Topics Covered Play as a Metric of Success: Reframing comedy, improv, and games like Truth or Dare as high-frequency portals to bypass the adult ego. The Anatomy of a Perfect Prank: Dina's step-by-step formula for cultivating social courage, engineering creative characters, and leveraging vocal accents. The Magic of "Squish": Defining the conscious community's favorite somatic environment: Tempur-Pedic foam, sheepskins, and white fuzzy blankets designed for deep co-regulation. The Alchemical Totem Box: How Jason utilized a carved wooden box containing five specific symbolic items to explicitly anchor and manifest his future wife from the quantum field. Nervous System Leadership: Dina's personal path from experiencing severe childhood panic attacks at age six to training holistic breathwork facilitators globally. www.dinamaayan.com Sober Realities: Shifting away from drug-induced expansions into endogenous breath retentions to access higher, altered states of consciousness completely clean. Gene Keys and the Alchemy of Struggle: A philosophical deep dive into why your deepest structural wound or misfortune contains the precise raw materials to unlock your highest genius. Endings with Finesse: A transparent look at how Christina processed a very public romantic breakup without entering a victim consciousness state. Key Takeaways Inject Play to Dissolve Friction: When partnership or friendship feels bogged down by corporate stress or relational gridlock, strategic play acts as a rapid shortcut back to core alignment. Giving is an Inside Job: Authentic community belonging is established the second you stop searching for validation and instead step into a room as an active additive of service. Nervous System Co-Regulation: Public figures and master facilitators are not immune to social anxiety or blanking out. True safety is a physical, non-verbal resonance shared in real-time between bodies. The Antidote to Trauma is Self-Trust: Holding your breath on empty or full retentions trains the psyche to handle physiological stress, rewriting your baseline relationship with fear. Connect with the Guest About Dina Maayan: Dina Maayan is a Nervous System Expert and human optimization guide specializing in evidence-based somatic recalibration. As the founder of the Breath of Life Institute, Dina blends deep physiological science with ancient wisdom to help high-performing leaders, athletes, and creatives transition out of chronic exhaustion and stress patterns into sustainable clarity, focus, and authentic self-trust.

How do you protect your child without living in constant fear? In this deeply compassionate coaching session, Christine works with Shelley, whose journey through chronic illness, mold toxicity, Lyme disease, fertility challenges, and becoming a new mother has left her feeling trapped in a cycle of hypervigilance around environmental toxins. What began as a genuine desire to keep her daughter safe has slowly become an exhausting mental prison. Every trip to the grocery store feels overwhelming. Every product label raises questions. Every social media post from health experts seems to introduce a new threat. Instead of enjoying motherhood, Shelley finds herself consumed by worry and worst-case scenarios. As Christine gently unpacks the deeper layers beneath the anxiety, a powerful truth emerges: Shelley's hypervigilance isn't the problem—it's a protective part of her that developed after years of trauma, illness, and uncertainty. Together they explore Parts Work (Internal Family Systems), nervous system regulation, motherhood, chronic illness recovery, intuition, and the difference between living from awareness versus living from fear. If you've ever found yourself obsessing over health, constantly researching the next thing to worry about, or feeling like your mind has become consumed by trying to control the uncontrollable, this episode offers a compassionate path back to peace. Press play to discover how trusting yourself—and allowing love to become louder than fear—can help you step out of survival mode and back into your life. Consider / Ask Yourself Do you spend so much time trying to protect yourself or your loved ones that it's difficult to enjoy the present moment? Has your search for health information become a source of anxiety instead of empowerment? Are you constantly scanning for what could go wrong instead of appreciating what is going well? What would change if you trusted your intuition more than your fear? Key Insights and A-Ha's Hypervigilance is often a protective response born from trauma—not a character flaw. Information becomes overwhelming when fear is driving the search for certainty. You don't need to eliminate your protective parts—you can simply give them a new role. Awareness is empowering; obsession is exhausting. Raising your inner sense of safety can be just as important as reducing external risks. How to Deepen the Work Notice when your protective part is taking over and gently thank it for trying to keep you safe. Limit exposure to fear-based content that keeps your nervous system activated. Spend intentional time strengthening the parts of yourself that feel creative, joyful, intuitive, and present. Practice speaking words of trust, health, and resilience over yourself and your loved ones.

Deepen your spiritual life through familiar, heart-centered prayer as Fr. Larry Kaufmann, C.Ss.R., launches the Teach Us to Pray series, drawing on the profound wisdom of St. Alphonsus Liguori. This inviting session encourages you to move beyond rigid routine into a genuine, conversational friendship with God, utilizing the transformative questions of Jesus from the Gospels to address your innermost fears and nurture a loving, daily dialogue with your Creator.

Are you curious about how to tap into your body's natural state of ecstasy without relying on physical stimulation or external gadgets? In this episode of Deepen with Christina, host Christina Weber sits down with intimacy coach and energy activation expert Natalya Krayeva to dive deep into the world of energy orgasms. Natalya shares her profound journey of hitting rock bottom—navigating divorce, miscarriage, and addiction—and how she reverse-engineered esoteric yoga, shamanic breathwork, and tantric practices to heal herself, activate her life force energy, and build a unique global career. This episode is for anyone looking to release stored trauma, break through emotional blocks, or expand their capacity for pleasure, joy, and deep romantic connection. Tune in to learn how to claim your role as the main character of your life and harness your sexual energy to rewrite your reality. Main Topics Covered Demystifying the Energy Orgasm — Breaking down how full-body energetic activation works and how it differs fundamentally from localized physical stimulation.  From Rock Bottom to Somatic Awakening — Natalya's vulnerable story of overcoming a toxic divorce, miscarriage, and rehab to reclaim her personal sovereignty. The Alignment of Energetic Centers — Learning how to bridge the fiery engine of your sexual center with the unconditional love of your heart and the manifestation power of your mind. The Somatic Flushing System — Using life-force energy as a cleansing wave to clear out deeply rooted childhood wounds, subconscious traumas, and emotional stagnation. Healing the Collective Masculine and Feminine — Shifting from defensive, anger-based empowerment to co-creating safe, non-judgmental spaces for both men and women. Reality Transsurfing and Somatic Timelines — Exploring the powerful intersection between energy activation and shifting into a brand-new path for your life. Guided 5-Minute Energy Practice — A step-by-step live exercise led by Natalya to pump, warm up, and feel your inherent life-force energy running through your system. Key Takeaways You Can Voluntarily Regulate Your Energy — Life-force energy is a functional skill; you can dial it up to 100% for intimate encounters or dial it down completely to walk safely and unnoticeably in dark environments. Shrinking Blocks Aligned Love — Dimming your light or hiding your unique gifts to accommodate a partner is a losing strategy; expanding into your brightest, most authentic self is what attracts the right relationship. Somatic Ecstasy Outlasts Physical Stimulation — While a localized physical orgasm typically peaks and fades within 60 seconds, an activated energy orgasm can sustain a state of pure bliss for minutes, hours, or even days. TRue Love Demands Ego Dissolution — Real love is an active, intentional process of peeling back the defensive layers of your ego, fears, and negativity to open your capacity for genuine sharing.

Have you ever felt like you've done all the inner work... yet one fear refuses to leave? In this compassionate and eye-opening coaching session, Christine works with Ilaria, who has spent years in therapy, practicing breathwork, nervous system regulation, and inner child healing. Yet one fear continues to consume her: the overwhelming fear of losing her parents. As she approaches her mid-thirties and begins thinking about creating a life of her own—finding a partner, becoming more independent, and stepping into her future—the fear grows even stronger. Why? Because underneath the anxiety isn't simply a fear of loss. It's a younger part of her that believes worrying is the only way to protect the people she loves. Christine introduces Ilaria to the powerful framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Parts Work, helping her recognize that this fear isn't all of who she is—it's one protective part that's been trying to keep her safe since childhood. Together they explore acceptance, self-compassion, nervous system healing, and why sometimes the greatest breakthrough comes not from trying harder to fix ourselves, but from changing how we relate to the parts of us that are hurting. If you've ever felt trapped by anxiety, worried constantly about the people you love, or wondered why years of healing haven't made a particular fear disappear, this episode offers a deeply hopeful new perspective. Press play to discover how accepting your fear—rather than fighting it—may be the very thing that finally brings you peace. Consider / Ask Yourself Is there a fear you've been trying to eliminate for years without success? Do you constantly worry about losing the people you love? Have you confused your anxiety with your identity? Could one protective part of you be trying to keep you safe in the only way it knows how? Key Insights and A-Ha's Anxiety doesn't define you—it may simply be one protective part of your inner world. Healing isn't always about eliminating fear; sometimes it's about changing your relationship to it. Love and fear often become intertwined, making it difficult to experience one without the other. Parts Work (IFS) helps create compassion for protective patterns instead of fighting against them. Nothing truly heals through judgment—acceptance creates space for transformation. How to Deepen the Work Notice when fear shows up, and gently ask yourself, "Which part of me is speaking right now?" Practice separating your identity from your anxious thoughts: "This is a part of me, not all of me." Explore Parts Work or Internal Family Systems with a trained practitioner if this approach resonates. Allow yourself to fully experience love without assuming fear must always accompany it.

Send us Fan MailYou've done the work. Read the books. Had the realizations. And somehow, the same old patterns still show up. The same knot in your stomach before a hard conversation. The same voice telling you not to raise your hand, not to join the group, not to try. If you've ever wondered why growth doesn't feel like it sticks, this episode is going to land somewhere real for you.Sami and Angela wrap up their three-part series on Angela's book The Invisible Edge by getting into what it actually looks like to deepen the work once you've started it. Not bypass it. Not white-knuckle through it. Deepen it. They talk about why the younger versions of you that formed your beliefs in the first place aren't the enemy, how risk tolerance is shaped earlier than most of us realize, and why the goal isn't to silence the inner critic but to stop letting it sit in the driver's seat. In this episode, we dig into:Why trying to "kick" the critical voice out of your head usually backfires, and what to do insteadHow your childhood risk tolerance is quietly running your adult decisionsPermission to thank the part of you that kept you safe, even if it's been slowing you downWhat a tree inside a windless dome has to do with why adversity is not something to avoidA simple question to ask when an old pattern shows up: does this still serve me?Angela shares a client story about a seventh grader who never wanted to feel left out again, and how that same drive to belong is what makes that person an incredible friend today. Sami brings it home with the story of her kids screaming in the rain at a concert, and what it looks like to be the calm, reassuring presence to your own scared inner child. These are the kinds of conversations that don't sound like therapy but quietly change the way you see yourself.You don't have to overhaul everything. You don't need months of excavation. As they close out this series, Sami and Angela give you something simple: a way to work with what comes up, appreciate what served you, and make a new choice when something no longer does. That's the whole thing. And it's more doable than most people think.If any of this landed, press play. And if you know someone who is in the middle of doing the work and keeps wondering why it keeps coming back up, send this their way.Mentioned in this episode:The Invisible Edge by Angela Belford — bfreakingawesome.com/the-invisible-edge-preorderThe Good Life by Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz (Harvard Study of Adult Development) — the-good-life-book.comWork with Angela and Sami:1:1 coaching (6 sessions, BFA coaching methodology) — bfreakingawesome.com You've done the work.

This week, our guest Emily shares a story unlike anything we've heard before. After surviving years of horrific abuse as a child, she finally finds what seems like a lifeline in the therapist who believes her when no one else will. But as that trusted relationship deepens over the years, subtle guidance begins to blur into something far more unsettling. What starts as a story of survival slowly transforms into a shocking examination of trust, power, and manipulation, raising impossible questions about what happens when the person meant to help you becomes someone you never thought to question.Are you in the Chicago, Tampa, or Orlando area and want to come see us live?!

What do you do when God doesn't do what you want? When life doesn't unfold the way we hoped, it's easy to question God's plan or lose sight of His goodness. But what if those moments are actually revealing something deeper about our hearts? In this message from Matthew 17–18, Pastor Matt Carter unpacks how unmet expectations expose where our trust truly lies and reminds us that following Jesus isn't about getting our way—it's about surrendering to His. Even when we don't understand what God is doing, we can trust that His plans are always better than our own.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of suicide, the loss of a child, emotional abuse, and narcissistic relationship dynamics. Please care for yourself and listen only if it feels supportive. What do you do when you're grieving the unimaginable... and someone you once trusted continues to cause harm in the aftermath? In this profoundly moving coaching session, Christine sits down with Mary, whose teenage son died by suicide just nine months ago. As she navigates the heartbreaking reality of losing her child, Mary finds herself confronting another devastating challenge: discovering that her ex-husband has publicly misrepresented their son's cause of death while using his memory to promote a charitable foundation. For years, Mary lived in fear of speaking her truth during an emotionally abusive marriage. Now, she's faced with a painful question: Can she find the courage to use her voice—not from anger or revenge, but from love, integrity, and a desire to honor her son's legacy? Together, Christine and Mary explore grief, trauma, narcissistic abuse, reclaiming personal power, and the delicate balance between seeking justice and protecting your own peace. Their conversation is a powerful reminder that healing doesn't require silence—and that telling the truth can be an act of profound love. Whether you've experienced deep loss, struggled to find your voice after an abusive relationship, or wondered how to move forward when life feels unbearably unfair, this episode offers compassion, validation, and hope. Press play to hear a courageous conversation about honoring truth, reclaiming your voice, and allowing both grief and joy to coexist. Consider / Ask Yourself Have you ever stayed silent because you were afraid of someone else's reaction? Do you struggle to trust your own voice after experiencing manipulation or emotional abuse? Are you carrying grief while also trying to rebuild your life? Can you allow yourself to experience moments of joy without feeling guilty? Key Insights and A-Ha's Grief and joy are not opposites—they can exist together. Years of emotional abuse can disconnect you from your own inner knowing. Speaking your truth doesn't require anger; it can come from love and integrity. Healing often begins when we stop abandoning our own voice. You are not responsible for another person's choices, but you are responsible for honoring your own truth. How to Deepen the Work Notice where fear may still be preventing you from expressing your truth. Practice asking yourself, "What feels true for me?" before seeking external validation. Allow yourself to receive support from trusted friends, professionals, or your community. Remember that choosing joy does not diminish your love for someone you've lost.

Are you holding back your true story because you are terrified of failing or being judged on stage? In this episode of Deepen with Christina, host Christina Weber sits down with world-renowned speaker coach Colleen Schell to explore how stepping onto the stage is the ultimate act of self-love. Together, they break down how to conquer performance anxiety, reframe the fear of losing your train of thought, and navigate the necessary tension that precedes true personal transformation. This episode is a must-listen for heart-centered leaders, coaches, and creators who feel a calling to speak but find themselves paralyzed by perfectionism. Tune in to discover why the world doesn't need your perfection—it craves your authentic connection. Main Topics Covered The Intersection of Public Speaking and Self-Love — How taking creative risks and embracing the "wonky" phases of growth allows you to see yourself through new eyes and build genuine self-trust. The Ego Trap of Shyness and Hoarding Wisdom — A powerful reframing of stage fright as a form of egoism, and the responsibility of sharing your transformational gifts instead of keeping them hidden. Overcoming the Fear of Rupture on Stage — Actionable mindsets for navigating moments when you lose your train of thought or make a mistake in front of a live audience. Sitting in the Tension of Transformation — Why discomfort, chaos, and emotional breakthroughs are necessary leadership skills required to reach your next level. The Shift from External Success to Deep Community Connection — Moving away from materialistic metrics of a successful life and embracing the enlivening power of vulnerable, real-life relationships. The Future of Human Storytelling in an AI-Driven Era — Why authentic personal stories and community hosting will become the ultimate currency as automated technology becomes hyper-competitive. Practical Storytelling Hacks for Beginners — The undeniable power of comedy improv and how to use open mics as a safe training ground to find your voice. Key Takeaways Perfectionism is a Barrier to Connection — Audiences will easily forgive mistakes, but they will not forgive being bored; they want to see your humanity, not a flawless execution. Ego Works Both Ways — Believing you are "too small" or too shy to share your message is just as self-absorbed as boasting; if divinity placed a fire in your heart to speak, it is your duty to tend it. You are Safe in the Rupture — When emotional or cognitive breakdowns happen, your primary job is to act as the steward of your own nervous system, utilizing tools like the butterfly tap to regulate yourself. If You Do What is Hard, Life Becomes Easy — Avoiding the uncomfortable path of public speaking keeps your life small, but leaning into the practice creates an aligned, rich destiny where unexpected opportunities effortlessly unlock.

This week on the Sports Leader, the conversation turned to the Giants' bullpen woes, which have been a major storyline all season. The team's inability to close out games in the ninth inning has been a consistent issue. Susan Slusser, a veteran journalist from the San Francisco Chronicle, joined the show to discuss the team's struggles and the impact of recent controversies on the organization. The Giants have been plagued by a lack of a true closer, and it's not just a matter of one or two bad outings. The team's bullpen has been a weakness all season, and it's hard to see them making a deep playoff run without a reliable ninth-inning arm. Susan Slusser weighed in on the team's decision-making and the potential long-term effects on free agent signings. She also discussed the recent Pride Night controversy and how it may impact the team's ability to attract top talent. The conversation also touched on the impressive performance of Victor Bericoto, a Venezuelan rookie who has been making waves with his impressive hitting despite the tragic circumstances surrounding his family.

Lift up your eyes . . . to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. . . . — Isaiah 40:26 Life's problems can weigh us down so much that we may feel as if we can't look up. But we need to lift our gaze to consider the greatness of God and the majesty of his creation. As Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” In a similar way, Romans 1:20 testifies, “Since the creation of the world God's invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature— have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. . . .”When God summons the great multitude of stars, calling each one by name, not one is absent. The Creator not only made them but also named each one. There are more stars in the sky than we count. Yet God summons each one, calling them by name, and they promptly appear.God knows every one of the trillions of living cells in our bodies. He knows every hair on our heads. He upholds all things by the power of his word. “In him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17). He has created, preserves, and governs all things. All things exist for the praise of his glory.In what ways are you discovering how great and powerful the Lord is? We can trust in him to handle whatever problems we might encounter. Creator God, lift our eyes from our burdens to your majestic power. You sustain all things. Deepen our faith in you as we observe your care, wisdom, and amazing work each day in the world around us. Amen.

How do you know when it's time to let go of a dream… and when it's time to keep holding on? In this deeply moving coaching session, Christine works with Asa, who has spent the last 18 months wrestling with one of the biggest decisions of her life: whether to have a second child. Her heart longs for another baby—for the chance to experience motherhood again, to give her son a sibling, and to hold onto a season of life she isn't ready to say goodbye to. But her reality tells a different story. Between health challenges, stress in her marriage, financial concerns, aging parents, and feeling emotionally depleted, Asa wonders if the loving choice might actually be to let go of the dream. As the conversation unfolds, Christine gently uncovers something even deeper: perhaps the longing for another child isn't only about another baby. Perhaps it's also a longing to nurture the part of herself that never fully got to be a child. Together they explore emotional depletion, inner child healing, motherhood, grief, and why making major life decisions from exhaustion often leads us further away from ourselves. If you've ever felt stuck in indecision, struggled to trust your intuition, or wondered whether you're yearning for something external that's actually pointing you inward, this episode will offer clarity and compassion. Press play to discover why the most important life you may need to nurture right now is your own. Consider / Ask Yourself Is there a major life decision you've been avoiding because you're afraid of making the "wrong" choice? Are you making decisions from a place of depletion or from a place of wholeness? Do you feel responsible for taking care of everyone else while neglecting yourself? What part of you is asking to be nurtured before you take your next big step? Key Insights and A-Ha's Indecision often creates more emotional exhaustion than making a conscious choice. Sometimes the longing for something external points to an unmet need within. Self-mothering is an essential part of healing—especially for caregivers and parents. Emotional depletion makes it difficult to hear your intuition clearly. The most loving decision is often the one that honors your current capacity, not your expectations. How to Deepen the Work Notice where you're trying to force clarity instead of creating the conditions for clarity to emerge. Ask yourself what your inner child truly needs right now—not what you think you "should" be doing. Create space to replenish your physical, emotional, and relational well-being before making major life decisions. Practice offering yourself the same compassion and care you naturally give to others.

Recorded live at SocialWest 2026 in Calgary, Charlie Grinnell, co-CEO of Rightmetric, joins host Lindsay Smith to explore why the data brands have been collecting about themselves is only half the story.Rightmetric helps North America's leading consumer brands harness external digital data across social, search, web, app, and ad spend to uncover what Charlie calls outsights: intelligence derived from how people actually behave online rather than what they say in a survey or focus group.Charlie breaks down why traditional segmentation falls short, how AI has turbocharged the ability to count and interpret behavioral signals at scale, and what it looks like when a brand finally sees the full picture of their audience rather than the one they assumed was there.Because there's a big difference between what people say they do and what they actually do.Edited and produced by Takt.

Clearing the Noise to Accelerate Execution In a world driven by intentional clutter, endless to-do lists, and over-engineered applications, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt dedicate this milestone episode to the ultimate success filter: Simplicity. True genius isn't creating a concept that looks dense and complicated just to confuse people; genius is the ability to boil massive ideas down to their absolute core so they can be seamlessly executed. Whether you are running an elite martial arts dojo or structuring a scaling enterprise, complicating your process is a mask for hiding a lack of clarity. In this tactical blueprint, Mark and Theron outline how to aggressively pare down your thoughts, your schedule, and your core mission so you can stop wasting critical energy and start moving the needle. Key Frameworks & Action Steps Action Step 1: Establish Simplicity of Thought (Sharpen the Signal) When your mind is constantly flooded with shallow inputs, your decision-making agility cracks. Achievers purposefully install mental filters to quiet the noise and gain immediate clarity. The One-Question Filter: Before pulling the trigger on a new initiative or micro-task, run it through this unshakeable lens: "Does this active decision explicitly move my result?" If the answer isn't a hard yes, it is an engineered distraction. The 20-Minute Input Blackout: Dedicate a non-negotiable window every single day to complete sensory silence. Turn off your notifications, shut down the news, and step away from all streaming content. Give your brain the tactical margin it needs to digest information and solve deep problems. If twenty minutes makes you nervous, start with ten—but pull the plug on the noise. The Top 3 Rule: Stop working off an exhaustive to-do list of twenty items. If everything is important, nothing is. Limit your active daily focus to your Top 3 Priorities at one time. Once those are finished, you can cleanly pull secondary items into your priority bucket. Action Step 2: Implement Simplicity of Action (Lighten the Load) High productivity is not about adding more busywork to an already bursting calendar; it is about aggressively removing low-value friction so your focus can compound. Plan the Night Before: Never enter your morning on the defensive. Before your head hits the pillow, identify the single highest-impact action step that will move the needle tomorrow. Schedule it first so you hit the ground running without burning precious willpower on trivial morning choices. The D.E. Filter (Delegate or Eliminate): Conduct an aggressive operational audit using the classic A-B-C-D-E time matrix guidelines: Delegate (The 80% Rule): If a team member can handle an essential task at least 80% as effectively as you, hand it off immediately. Free yourself up to operate exclusively in your highest strategic zone. Eliminate: Ruthlessly locate the deep habits and activities that do not actively serve your vision, business growth, or relationships, and permanently erase them from your schedule. Action Step 3: Simplify Your Purpose (The Decision Compass) Fulfillment requires a streamlined North Star. If you cannot describe why your business or character exists in a clear, brief sentence, your daily execution will default to chaos. The One-Sentence Purpose Statement: Reject long, paragraph-length corporate mission statements that read beautifully but mean nothing in active practice. Boil your overarching vision down to a crisp, concise, single sentence (e.g., "Team Leader," "Joy Bringer"). The Mirror Reminder: Take your purpose sentence and physically anchor it to your environment—write it boldly across your bathroom mirror. Successful people do not need to be taught what to do, but they do require sharp, immediate daily reminders of who they are choosing to be. Speak It Out Loud on Hard Days: When operations hit an inevitable speed bump and frustration peaks, stand in front of the mirror, change your posture, and clearly speak your purpose statement out loud to the room. Hearing your own voice declare your absolute coordinates cuts through emotional clutter and instantly resets your trajectory. "Simplicity is the canvas of peak performance. When you complicate your thinking, you anchor your execution. Pick your Top 3 needle-movers today, cut the noise, and execute."

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces.” Matthew 7:6Today's Gospel contains one of Christ's more difficult teachings. At first glance, His words seem harsh. Yet they reveal a profound truth: the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven require a heart properly disposed to receive them. Divine truths are not to be offered indiscriminately, especially to those who would treat them with scorn or hostility. Faith is essential to receive and understand the deeper mysteries of God. Jesus expressed a similar principle at the Last Supper when He told the Twelve: “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth” (John 16:12–13).Though Jesus, as the eternal Word of God, possessed perfect and complete knowledge of divine truth, He did not reveal everything to His disciples all at once. Had He done so, they might have been overwhelmed. Even His closest followers often struggled to grasp His teachings, misunderstanding His words and resisting difficult truths. Yet Christ unveils the mysteries of His Kingdom gradually, according to each person's ability to receive them.The divine mysteries are so deep, vast, and profound that we will only fully comprehend them when we behold God face to face in the Beatific Vision. Until then, His deeper truths remain veiled. This does not mean we should cease seeking them; rather, as we grow in faith and knowledge of God, He lifts the veil little by little, drawing us closer to Himself. As we progress in holiness, He perfects within us the spiritual Gift of Wisdom, which ultimately deepens our love for Him.The pearls Jesus refers to symbolize these divine mysteries—treasures of divine Wisdom that must be sought, cherished, and received with reverence. This principle of gradual revelation is also seen in the ministry of Saint Paul. After his dramatic conversion, Paul received extraordinary spiritual insights, yet he recognized that his listeners were not always ready for the fullness of divine teaching. To the Corinthians, he wrote: “Brothers, I could not talk to you as spiritual people, but as fleshly people, as infants in Christ. I fed you milk, not solid food, because you were unable to take it” (1 Corinthians 3:1–2).Like Saint Paul, when God grants us glimpses of His divine Wisdom, we must treasure these revelations, ponder them in faith, and allow Him to deepen His communication with us. At the same time, as we share our faith with others, we must be mindful of their openness and capacity to receive what is holy—the pearls of divine truth. Though the saving message of the Gospel must be preached to all, the deepest mysteries are attained only through prayer and an interior receptivity to grace.When Jesus warns, “Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine…”, He is not discouraging evangelization. Rather, He is teaching us that not everyone is immediately receptive to the hidden mysteries of the Gospel. Some might reject it outright, treat it with indifference, or even respond with hostility. Thus, just as Saint Paul recognized the need to nourish spiritual infants with milk, not solid food, we too must exercise prudence in sharing the deepest divine truths, ensuring that they are offered in a way that hearts are prepared to receive. Reflect today on your own openness to God's eternal truth. Are you like an infant in need of spiritual milk? If so, drink that milk eagerly, allowing it to nourish your soul. As you mature in faith, devote more time to prayerful contemplation of God's Word, seeking His wisdom with a receptive heart. If God entrusts you with the role of feeding others, do so with love and gentleness, discerning the pearls God wants you to share. Only by first being receptive ourselves will we be prepared to be the instruments and evangelists that God calls us to be. Lord of Eternal Wisdom, the mysteries of faith are vast and beyond my comprehension without Your grace. Draw me ever closer to You, unveiling Your hidden presence and the precious pearls of Your Truth. Deepen my understanding, that I may ponder Your mysteries with a receptive heart. As I grow in faith, use me as You will to nourish others according to their need, leading them ever deeper into Your divine Wisdom.

Soul Safety is Earned: True emotional safety isn't felt instantaneously upon a first impression. It is a slow-burn treasure built over time and proven strictly through repeated action, not promises. Listen to the Mute Animal: Your body holds millions of years of cellular intelligence far superior to the logical mind. Give your body a voice, honor its gut responses, and treat it like a sacred vehicle. Never Settle for Dimness: If a sexual encounter or relationship leaves you feeling energetically drained, minimized, or less radiant, walk away immediately. Protect your preciousness at all costs.

Send us Fan MailBen Freeman discusses a provision in the fy 2027 National Defence Authorization Act that would deepen and entrench U.S.-Israeli military cooperation to an unparalleled degree, creating partnerships hard to unravel and gutting Congressional oversight and accountability. An equally alarming provision in the Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2027 would force the U.S to share almost all intelligence about the Middle East with Israel. The president would have to go before Congress with a detailed rationale to suspend this. Section 219 (formerly Section 224) of the fy2027 NDAA is called the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative. It and Section 622 of the fy 2027 Intelligence Aithorizatin Act pose risks to U.S. sovereignty and national security. An expert on defence spending and foreign influence operations, Freeman heads the Democratizing Foreign Policy program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. 

In this episode of Deepen with Christina, host Christina Weber explores the transformative power of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) with NVC teacher and author Micah Salaberrios. Broadcasting from the wellness and podcasting mecca of Austin, Texas, Micah shares how a high-stakes conflict on a documentary set introduced him to "emergency empathy"—and how it completely changed his life. This conversation acts as a practical masterclass for anyone looking to eliminate verbal volatility, own their emotional triggers, and use communication to build unbreakable relational bonds. Main Topics Covered From Volatility to Mastery: How Micah transformed his childhood exposure to verbal volatility into a professional superpower. The "Emergency Empathy" Breakthrough: A real-world breakdown of the exact moment NVC saved a failing professional partnership. The Four-Step NVC Framework: Understanding the classic progression: Observable Fact → Authentic Feeling → Core Preference/Desire → Specific Request. Ditching Fake Feelings: Why phrases like "I feel disrespected" or "I feel cornered" are actually weaponized judgments in disguise. The Power of "Emergency Empathy": How asking a triggered partner specific, one-two combo questions ("Are you feeling [X] because of [Y]?") bypasses fight-or-flight and de-escalates rage instantly. The Illusion of "I feel as if...": Why eliminating passive-aggressive grammatical traps is vital for true authenticity. Tone Over Text: Acknowledging that vocal tone carries more emotional data than the actual words we choose. Aligning with Conscious Pillars: How NVC directly integrates into the WeDeepen Love Club's four core pillars of conscious relationships. Key Takeaways You Are the Catalyst, Not the Cause: No one is responsible for how you feel, and you are not responsible for anyone else's feelings. Blaming others gives away your personal power. Ego Is the Enemy of Empathy: True "emergency empathy" requires you to temporarily step out of your own identity and step into your partner's shoes—something the ego will fight tooth and nail to prevent. Specificity Tames the Beast: Avoid broad questions like "How are you feeling?" when someone is upset. Instead, use a specific guess about their inner world to give them something concrete to anchor to. Unresolved Issues Leak: If you don't use clean communication to sweep small issues out from under the rug, they will inevitably leak out through your body language, sighing, and tone. Connect with the Guest About Micah Salaberrios: Micah Salaberrios is the author of the acclaimed book The Art of NVC and host of the popular Art of NVC podcast.

What if keeping the peace is actually keeping you from being fully yourself? In this heartfelt and empowering coaching session, Christine works with Emily, who is preparing to release her first book—a deeply personal guide about becoming an intentional, loving grandparent called Don't Skip the Party. But instead of celebration, Emily is met with silence and defensiveness from her mother. As her mom reads the book through the lens of her own regrets and perceived shortcomings, Emily finds herself pulled back into a familiar role: making sure everyone else is okay, even at the expense of her own truth. Together, Christine and Emily unpack one of the most common generational patterns many women carry—the belief that love means managing other people's emotions. The conversation explores boundaries, codependency, family dynamics, and the difference between truth spoken with love versus sacrificing yourself to keep others comfortable. If you've ever felt responsible for a parent's happiness, struggled to set loving boundaries, or found yourself shrinking your truth to avoid upsetting others, this episode will resonate deeply. Press play to discover why letting people have their feelings may be one of the most loving things you can do—for them and for yourself.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you feel responsible for keeping peace within your family? Are you uncomfortable when people are upset with you? Do you soften your truth or hold yourself back to avoid disappointing others? Have you confused love with self-sacrifice?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Love does not require managing another person's emotions. Boundaries are not rejection—they are an act of self-respect and honesty. Protecting people from discomfort can sometimes prevent their growth. Breaking generational patterns means changing your role in the family dynamic—not forcing others to change theirs. Truth and love belong together. One without the other creates imbalance.   How to Deepen the Work Notice where you take responsibility for emotions that don't belong to you. Ask yourself: "Am I being loving—or am I people-pleasing?" Practice allowing others to have their own reactions without rushing to fix them. Reflect on where you can choose truth and love simultaneously.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Featured Sponsor: Peluva Barefoot Shoes Christine shares her experience with Peluva, a minimalist five-toe shoe designed to strengthen the feet, encourage natural movement, and improve overall comfort.

At some point, most of us have stood on the edge of a new chapter — a divorce, a move, a loss, a reinvention — and felt the quiet, aching realization that we have no one to call. Not no one, exactly. But no one close enough. No one present. No one who really knows the texture of your everyday life. That loneliness isn't weakness. And according to author Alex Alexander, it isn't permanent either. But fixing it requires unlearning almost everything society has told us about what friendship is supposed to look like.In this episode of A Fresh Story: Book Talk, Olivia sits down with her longtime friend and fellow community-builder Alex Alexander to celebrate the release of Alex's debut book, Are We Friends Yet? How to Deepen Your Relationships and Create the Community You Need. Alex didn't set out to write a book — she set out to write 40 pages. What she discovered in the process were two foundational frameworks that had been quietly shaping her entire life's work: the idea that we aren't looking for one perfect person to fill every role, but a whole constellation of people, each showing up in the specific way that only they can. Alex's own origin story is woven into every page. She was the kid who desperately needed more adults in her corner, who felt the weight of having no one to turn to — and who eventually, through rock bottom moments and radical openness, built herself a family out of friends.What makes this conversation — and this book — so essential for anyone navigating a life transition is how radically it reframes what it means to belong. Alex dismantles the myth of scarcity that runs through so much of how we talk about adult friendship ("finding a good friend is like finding a four-leaf clover"). She makes space for the online friend, the long-distance friend, the friend who shows up at 10 p.m. with a crisis script for a devastating text. She talks about the "do less list" — a permission slip to stop performing friendship in ways that drain you, and start showing up in the ways that actually fit your life. If you've ever wondered whether you'll ever really find your people, this book will convince you that you already have more than you know — and show you exactly how to build more.

In this episode of The Art Biz, host Alyson Stanfield makes the case that research is not an academic exercise. And it's not separate from your art practice, but part of it. She encourages you to think of it as leading with curiosity, which strengthens the work and builds confidence. Alyson draws on her background as an art historian and her own current investigation into timelines to show what this actually looks like in practice. Alyson reveals: Why "I've always been drawn to this" isn't a good enough answer, and what happens when you push past it The difference between work that is beautiful and work that is about something Why you mustn't research to find the right or best answer, and why you cannot rely on Google and AI for a true research practice How a serious inquiry practice changes your artist statement, collector conversations, and confidence in the work What it means to make curiosity a practice rather than a phase you move through before a project begins Read more and get links and resources on the extensive companion post.

What happens when you finally find the healthy relationship you've always wanted... and your nervous system doesn't know what to do with it? In this deeply compassionate coaching session, Christine works with Sydney, who has found herself in the healthiest and most emotionally supportive relationship of her life. Her partner is stable, trustworthy, and committed—everything she once hoped for. So why does she still feel anxious? Why does part of her still expect abandonment, betrayal, or heartbreak? As the conversation unfolds, Sydney begins to recognize that her fears aren't coming from her current relationship. They're coming from old wounds. Growing up with an emotionally unavailable mother and a father who left, her nervous system learned early that love wasn't safe and connection couldn't be trusted. Now, even though her present-day reality is different, those old protective patterns continue to activate whenever intimacy deepens. Together, Christine and Sydney explore self-abandonment, dissociation, vulnerability, receptivity, and what it truly means to feel safe enough to receive love. If you've ever found yourself pulling away from healthy love, questioning a good relationship, or feeling anxious when things are actually going well, this episode will help you understand why. Press play to discover how old survival strategies may be keeping you from fully receiving the love you've worked so hard to create.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you become anxious when relationships start feeling safe and secure? Do you find yourself expecting abandonment even when there is no evidence something is wrong? Were your emotional needs consistently met as a child? Do you struggle to receive love, support, compliments, affection, or intimacy?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Safe relationships can feel unfamiliar—and therefore unsafe—to a nervous system wired for unpredictability. Self-abandonment often begins when emotional needs go unmet in childhood. Vulnerability is not the same as neediness. Receptivity requires safety, embodiment, and trust. Many anxiety patterns are protective strategies that once served a purpose but are no longer necessary.   How to Deepen the Work Notice when you are reacting from present-day reality versus past experiences. Practice validating your triggers rather than criticizing yourself for having them. Explore ways to reconnect with your body through grounding and nervous system regulation practices. Allow yourself to express and process emotions instead of pushing them away or dissociating from them.   Social Media + Resources:  Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover by Christine Hassler @ChristineHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Email: jill@christinehassler.com — For information on any of my services!

What happens when sinful humanity encounters a God who is perfectly holy, pure, and described in Scripture as a consuming fire? Who can stand before such awesome holiness? God's holiness is not merely a theological concept, but a reality that demands reverence. In Episode 11 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that we can only stand in God's presence by grace through faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ.For those who accept God's mercy, this same consuming fire becomes refreshing rather than tormenting. The Bible's imagery of the three Hebrew children thrown into the fiery furnace illustrates how God's fire burns away bondage while preserving those who trust in Him.This message also addresses sobering biblical truths about judgment, hell, salvation, and the wrath from which Jesus came to save us. Hell was never created for humanity, but God lovingly made a way through Christ so that no one would perish. Through repentance and faith in Jesus, we can receive eternal life and stand confidently in God's presence. Deepen your understanding of God's holiness, grace, and the transforming power of the Gospel.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

What does it really mean to fear God in a culture that demands tolerance for virtually everything? Are Christians ever called to hate—and if so, what? In Episode 9 of The Fear of the Lord, Duane Sheriff explains that Scripture clearly teaches there are things God hates, and that a proper fear of the Lord requires us to hate what He hates and love what He loves.Drawing from Proverbs, Psalms, and Romans, Duane teaches that the fear of the Lord is “to hate evil”—not people. He explains how modern culture's mantra of tolerance creates a deceptive progression from compromise to acceptance, then celebration, and ultimately the legislation of evil. The life and ministry of Jesus reveal that Christ was full of love and mercy toward sinners, yet never tolerated or excused sin. Jesus forgave, healed, and restored, while also commanding, “Go and sin no more.”This message brings clarity to the confusion between biblical love and cultural “love.” True love does not celebrate iniquity. Today's “love is love” is a counterfeit of the truth that “God is love.” Deepen your understanding of the fear of the Lord as a reverent hatred of evil that protects, purifies, and aligns our hearts with God's in an age of moral confusion.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of confidence—but a fear of being seen? In this powerful and emotional coaching session, Christine works with Victoria, who feels called to step into a more authentic and public version of herself through a new creative venture. Although she has already achieved success in her current career, she feels increasingly disconnected from the life she truly wants to be living. The problem isn't a lack of passion. The problem is the overwhelming fear that comes with being visible. As Victoria explores her desire to become a content creator and inspire women to build their dream lives, deeper layers begin to emerge. Childhood criticism, perfectionism, fear of judgment, and the pressure to "get it right" have all created an internal protector that would rather keep her safe than allow her to be fully expressed. Together, Christine and Victoria uncover how growing up in a highly critical environment taught her to hide parts of herself in order to avoid conflict, judgment, and rejection. Now, as she prepares to share her voice more publicly, those same protective patterns are resurfacing. If you've ever felt called to something bigger but found yourself procrastinating, shrinking back, or questioning your worth, this episode will help you understand why—and what it takes to move forward anyway. Press play to discover how fear of criticism may be keeping you from the freedom, fulfillment, and authenticity you truly desire.    Consider / Ask Yourself Do you hold yourself back because you fear what others might think? Did you grow up in a household where criticism, correction, or high expectations were common? Do you feel called to share more of yourself but find yourself procrastinating or avoiding visibility? Are you living from authenticity—or from a strategy designed to avoid judgment?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Perfectionism is often a survival strategy developed in response to criticism. Fear of being seen can create "invisibility blocks" that limit authentic expression. Many people spend more energy avoiding criticism than pursuing what they truly want. Authenticity often requires grieving the identity you built to stay safe. Freedom comes not from being perfect—but from allowing yourself to be fully seen.   How to Deepen the Work Reflect on how criticism shaped your relationship with visibility and self-expression. Notice where you are seeking safety through perfection rather than authenticity. Ask yourself: "What would I do if I wasn't afraid of being judged?" Begin practicing self-expression in small ways, even when discomfort arises.   Resource Mentioned in This Episode Inner Child Course Christine references her evergreen Inner Child program, designed to help people rewire childhood conditioning, heal protective patterns, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

In this episode, Michael welcomes Master Mingtong Gu. Master Mingtong Gu is an internationally recognized teacher of Wisdom Healing Qigong, founder of the Chi Center and the Wisdom Healing Qigong community, and a leading voice in energy healing, mind-body medicine, and embodied spiritual awakening. Drawing from ancient Chinese healing traditions and decades of personal practice, his work helps people reconnect with the body as a source of healing, consciousness, resilience, and transformation. His latest book, Coming Home to Embodied Awakening, explores how returning to the body restores wholeness, inner peace, and human connection in an age of distraction and AI.  Conversation Highlights Include: -A powerful exploration of how modern life keeps people trapped in the mind, disconnected from the body, and separated from their deeper humanity. -Why so much suffering comes from living externally—searching for love, peace, fulfillment, and healing outside ourselves instead of within. -An honest conversation about embodiment as the practice of returning to the body again and again, especially in an age of distraction, technology, and AI. -How healing begins when people stop resisting what they feel internally and start meeting the body with compassion, presence, and awareness. -A profound reframe of the body not as a machine, object, or "rental vehicle," but as a sacred expression of life itself. -What happens emotionally and spiritually when people reconnect with their bodies and begin to experience groundedness, wholeness, self-love, and inner peace. -A beautiful reflection on meditating in the middle of Times Square and discovering stillness, presence, and sacredness within chaos and noise. -The story of a childhood near-death experience, forgotten trauma, asthma, and the realization that the body remembers what the mind forgets. -Why healing is not linear, but a spiral of awareness, growth, detoxification, and returning to deeper levels of Truth and consciousness. -A practical framework for transformation through acceptance, activation, and appreciation—moving from inner contraction into embodiment, empowerment, and gratitude. Michael closes the episode with a guided meditation on presence, observation, embodiment, sacred silence, and anchoring  Heaven on Earth through awareness.

What if your dating anxiety isn't actually about the person you're dating? In this deeply validating and eye-opening coaching session, Christine works with Rebecca, who experiences intense anxiety, panic attacks, hypervigilance, and worst-case-scenario thinking whenever dating begins to feel emotionally significant. As relationships move beyond the casual stage, Rebecca finds herself constantly scanning for danger—analyzing every response, questioning whether she can trust the person, and struggling to feel safe enough to relax into connection. But as Christine gently uncovers the deeper root, it becomes clear: this isn't really about dating. It's about a nervous system that was wired for survival in childhood. Growing up with an alcoholic mother and a bipolar father, Rebecca learned early that safety depended on staying hyper-aware, emotionally prepared, and constantly scanning for potential threats. Now, even healthy intimacy activates the same survival patterns her nervous system once needed to survive. Together, they explore the difference between fear and true desire, how childhood programming impacts adult relationships, and why compassion—not self-criticism—is the key to nervous system healing. If you've ever questioned your reactions in dating, wondered why intimacy feels so activating, or tried to "logic" your way out of anxiety, this episode will help you understand yourself on a much deeper level. Press play to learn why your nervous system may be protecting you from a past that's already over—and how compassion can begin to change everything. Consider / Ask Yourself Do you become hypervigilant or anxious once dating starts feeling emotionally significant? Are you constantly scanning for red flags or worst-case scenarios in relationships? Do you struggle to tell the difference between fear and intuition? Are you trying to "think" your way out of nervous system activation instead of compassionately supporting yourself through it? Key Insights and A-Ha's Hypervigilance is often a survival response learned in childhood—not proof something is wrong now. A nervous system wired for instability can interpret intimacy as danger. Logic and reassurance rarely regulate fear-based nervous system patterns. Compassion and validation create more healing than self-criticism or over-analysis. Healing begins when we stop fighting our reactions and start understanding them. How to Deepen the Work Notice when your nervous system shifts into scanning, bracing, or worst-case-scenario thinking. Practice validating your feelings instead of immediately trying to fix or explain them. Ask yourself: "Is this decision coming from fear or from truth?" Spend intentional time reconnecting with your inner child and nervous system safety.

What happens when you've done the healing, broken the patterns, and still haven't found your person? In this deeply validating and emotionally rich coaching session, Christine works with Rachel, who is navigating life as a single woman in her late 30s after leaving an emotionally abusive relationship. Rachel has done years of deep inner work, including healing childhood wounds, rebuilding her self-worth, and learning how to date from discernment instead of desperation. But despite all that growth, she finds herself asking a painful question many conscious women quietly carry: "I've done the work… so where is my person?" Together, Christine and Rachel unpack the pressure, grief, and cultural conditioning that often surrounds being single later in life—especially for women who refuse to settle and are committed to breaking generational patterns. Christine offers a powerful reframe: perhaps the delay isn't punishment or proof something is wrong. Perhaps it's evidence that Rachel has truly completed an old karmic pattern and is no longer available for unhealthy love. This episode is an invitation to stop viewing yourself as "behind" and start recognizing the profound growth and discernment that conscious partnership actually requires. If you've ever felt discouraged in your dating journey, questioned your timing, or feared it may never happen for you, this conversation will meet you with compassion, truth, and hope. Press play to reconnect with your embodied wisdom—and remember that longing does not have to become suffering.    Consider / Ask Yourself Are you viewing your relationship status through cultural conditioning or through your own truth? Have you mistaken being unpartnered for being "behind" in life? Are you truly honoring how much healing and integration you've already completed? Can you stay connected to your longing for partnership without creating suffering around it?   Key Insights and A-Ha's Conscious women often delay partnership because they refuse to repeat generational patterns. Longing for partnership is not weakness—it can be a deep intuitive knowing. Healing is not just about processing pain—it's about embodying new truth and discernment. Fear after an abusive relationship can soften through embodied wisdom and self-trust. Much of the suffering around being single comes from cultural narratives rather than reality itself.   How to Deepen the Work Notice when thoughts about being single create unnecessary suffering or urgency. Practice reconnecting with the version of yourself who deeply trusts her discernment. Reflect on the lessons and red flags from past relationships so they become embodied wisdom. Continue nurturing your inner child so longing does not become abandonment.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Be the Queen Live Program Christine shares details about the upcoming live round of her relationship and conscious partnership course designed for women calling in healthy, aligned love.
