In the early hours of February 15, 2003, a small crew of Italian thieves pulled off what seemed impossible, they broke into the world's most secure diamond vault in Antwerp, Belgium. They slipped past ten layers of high tech security without triggering a single alarm, making off with millions in gems, gold, and cash. It was the kind of heist you'd expect in a Hollywood script, but this one was real, and to this day, the missing diamonds have never been found.

From the mid 1970s to the early 1980s, the streets of northern England became the hunting ground for a man whose weapon was as unremarkable as it was deadly, a hammer. In just five years, he butchered thirteen women and brutally attacked at least seven more, slipping past the largest manhunt in British history time and again. Known to the world as the Yorkshire Ripper, his reign of terror was fueled by police missteps, a cruel hoax, and his uncanny ability to vanish into the night, leaving behind only broken bodies and a city gripped by fear.

Fearful that her abusive ex-boyfriend, Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan), might recognize himself in the book, she turns to her current boyfriend, Alex Kiriakis (played by Robert Scott Wilson), for help on the NBC Peacock soap opera. DOOL sees the book, published by Titan Publishing with the assistance of Kate Roberts (played by Lauren Koslow), is already causing a stir in Salem. It even finds its way to Stephanie's mother, Kayla Brady (played by Mary Beth Evans) and her partner Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols), causing unexpected consequences. With Stephanie's reputation as a PR agent on the line, the return of her ex-boyfriend could spell trouble. DOOL sees Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier), Stephanie's ex, also sees himself in the book, raising concerns about how much of Stephanie's past relationships she included. The book's imminent launch and the mention of Jeremy Horton by Steve hint at the potential return of the character. This suspicion is further fueled by the arrival of a new actor, Michael Rourke, in October. Days of Our Lives sees Alex Kiriakis and Kate Roberts are eager to fast-track the publication of Stephanie's book, hoping it will revitalize Titan Industries' publishing division. However, in the rush, a specific passage that Stephanie wanted removed remains, potentially inviting trouble from Jeremy.

Dallas in the early 1990s was no stranger to crime, but nothing prepared the city for the horror that came next. Three women—Mary Pratt, Susan Peterson, and Shirley Williams—were found murdered, their bodies dumped in plain sight, and each one missing their eyes.

In this deeply tender session, Christine works with Holly, who's navigating the exhausting grip of fear and the inner conflict that arises when she tries to override it. Holly describes the frustration of knowing she's done the inner work—yet still feeling paralyzed by fear when it comes to speaking up, setting boundaries, or simply sending a message to a friend. What emerges is a powerful reframe: fear is not the enemy. It's a messenger from past pain, particularly childhood wounds of abandonment and emotional neglect. Christine guides Holly through a shift from judgment to compassion, from pushing through fear to gently parenting the scared parts of herself with curiosity and care. This conversation is for anyone who feels “stuck” in their fear despite years of personal growth—and who needs a reminder that softness, not force, is the path forward. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you judging yourself for still feeling fear, even after doing years of self-development work? Do small tasks, like expressing a need or setting a boundary, send you into overanalysis or self-doubt? Were you raised in an environment that didn't feel safe or affirming—and are you carrying those patterns into adulthood? What might shift if you treated your fear with compassion instead of frustration? Key Insights and A-HAs: Fear often stems from childhood wounds, not present-day reality. Self-judgment reinforces abandonment. Compassion heals it. We don't have to “push through” fear to transform—it's more powerful to honor it, tend to it, and respond with care. Hyper-independence can be a trauma response—not a personality trait. Healing happens through curiosity, compassion, and courage—not pressure and shame. How to Deepen the Work: Practice speaking to yourself the way a nurturing parent would: “It's okay to be scared. I'm here.” Try the three-step emotional approach Christine recommends: Compassion → Curiosity → Courage. Journal about where fear still holds you back—and what your younger self might need in those moments. Explore whether you're bypassing your feelings by “pushing through,” and ask what might happen if you softened instead. Identify safe relationships where you can start practicing self-expression and vulnerability in small ways. Upcoming Event: The San Diego Women's Retreat (Oct. 17–19, 2025)If this episode resonated, you're invited to Christine's signature women's retreat—a high-frequency, transformational experience designed to reconnect you with your truth, your joy, and your courage.
