Podcasts about key insights

In this deeply moving session, Christine supports Sheylee—a devoted mother who is pregnant with her seventh child and struggling under the weight of shame, overwhelm, and fear. After believing she was done having children, this unexpected pregnancy has stirred painful emotions, identity confusion, and unresolved relational patterns in her partnership. Christine helps her gently unravel the layers of guilt, inner criticism, and pressure she has carried for years. Together, they explore how to hold two truths at once: loving a child while not feeling joyful about the circumstances, being grateful and overwhelmed at the same time, and honoring both human emotion and spiritual perspective. If you've ever felt shame for how you feel, feared getting "stuck" in a hard season, or struggled to access compassion for yourself, this conversation offers relief, grounding, and a renewed sense of permission to be honest about your emotional reality.   Consider / Ask Yourself: Is there something in your life you believe you "should" feel happy about—but you don't? Do you fear that if you let yourself feel your emotions, you won't be able to stop? Do you often feel unsupported—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally? Are you harder on yourself than anyone else is? Do you hear an inner critic more loudly than your own compassion?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Shame about how you feel is often more damaging than the feelings themselves. It is possible—and healthy—to hold two truths at once ("both/and"). Emotional release is not falling apart; it's moving energy through the body. Many women confuse caretaking with connection or worthiness. Inner critics often come from childhood patterns of control, hypervigilance, or judgment. Spiritual support (God, Mother Mary, or a higher loving presence) can hold us when people cannot.   How to Deepen the Work: Practice the both/and: "I love this baby AND I am overwhelmed." Create space each day to sit with your feelings rather than suppress them. Replace harsh self-talk with compassion through simple practices like Ho'oponopono: I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. Call on unseen spiritual support when human support feels unavailable. Identify where old survival strategies are still active—and begin updating them with gentler internal dialogue. Explore ways to communicate needs in your partnership with clarity rather than collapse.   Sponsor: Cured Nutrition – Flow Gummies Christine recommends Flow Gummies from Cured Nutrition for clean, sustained energy and focus throughout the day.

In this heartfelt coaching session, Christine works with Jemma, who feels confused and heartbroken after believing that God led her into a relationship that ultimately ended in disappointment. Jemma wrestles with feelings of self-blame, loss, and spiritual doubt as she questions whether she misunderstood divine guidance—or was somehow being punished. Christine helps her see the situation through a lens of truth and compassion. Together, they explore how childhood wounds shape patterns of self-sacrifice, and how spiritual confusion often arises when we project human expectations onto God. Jemma learns that she hasn't "lost herself"—she was simply operating from childhood survival strategies, and she's now being invited to evolve through love, loss, and faith. If you've ever felt like the universe led you somewhere painful, this episode will help you find meaning, peace, and trust in a bigger plan. Consider / Ask Yourself: Have you ever felt misled by God or the universe? Do you blame yourself when relationships don't work out? Do you confuse caretaking or fawning with true connection? Are you interpreting disappointment as a sign you did something wrong? Key Insights and A-HAs: We often project human disappointment and abandonment onto God. "Losing yourself" is actually slipping back into old survival patterns. Every relationship can be a stepping stone toward deeper healing. Grief and progress can coexist—healing is not linear. Compassion for younger parts of ourselves softens relational patterns. How to Deepen the Work: Reflect on how childhood shaped your approach to intimacy and caretaking. Replace "I lost myself" with "I shifted into coping—and now I'm returning to myself." Journal about how this relationship moved you forward rather than backward. Spend time nurturing your inner child—the part of you longing for safety. Engage with God or your spiritual source as a loving presence, not a judge.

The Money Habit on How to Finally Take Control of Your Finances   What if your biggest money problem isn't how much you earn—but how you manage what you already have?   In this week's episode of Richer Soul, bestselling author Mike Michalowicz (Profit First, Clockwork, All In) returns to share insights from his new book, The Money Habit. It's a simple, behavior-based approach to mastering personal finances—no spreadsheets, guilt, or complicated budgets required.   Key Insights from the Conversation:  Making Money Is One Skill—Keeping It Is Another. Most people learn how to earn but never master how to keep money. Mike reminds us that wealth isn't built by income alone—it's built by intentional systems that preserve and direct your money before it slips away. Financial Independence vs. Financial Freedom. Financial freedom is doing what you want, when you want, without worrying about money. Financial independence means having authority over your money—so it no longer controls you. That authority starts with awareness. How Credit Cards and "Points" Hack Our Brains. Credit cards are engineered to make you spend more. Points and perks are psychological triggers that override rational decision-making. Mike shows how to flip the script by setting up commitment devices—systems that protect you from yourself. Build Your Money "Envelopes" at the Bank. Instead of one big account, divide your money into clear purposes—needs, wants, dreams, and slush funds. Label debit cards for each category. When you spend, you'll instantly see whether you're honoring your priorities or drifting off course. Teach by Example. Your kids don't learn about money from what you say—they learn from what you do. Modeling calm, structure, and intentional spending plants lifelong financial wisdom in the next generation.   Money Learning from Mike: We often think more money will solve our problems. It won't. The real transformation happens when we gain authority over what we already have. Whether you earn $50,000 or $500,000 a year, financial independence starts by giving every dollar a job before it leaves your account.   Key Takeaway: Financial peace isn't found in making more—it's found in mastering what you already have. Start small: create one new account for your biggest money worry today, label it clearly, and fund it consistently. Small actions, done repeatedly, become lifelong habits.   Bio: Mike Michalowicz (my-CAL-o-wits) is the entrepreneur behind four multi-million-dollar companies and the author of bestselling business books including Profit First, Clockwork, The Pumpkin Plan, and All In. His newest book, The Money Habit, is a groundbreaking approach to personal finance.

Mastering Business Growth: Insights from Mark Abbott, Founder & CEO of Ninety, on Operating Systems, Culture, and Organizational MaturityIn this episode, host Josh Elledge sits down with Mark Abbott, Founder and CEO of Ninety, for a deep dive into business operating systems, organizational culture, and the journey of scaling small and mid-sized companies. Mark—drawing on decades of experience in entrepreneurship, software development, coaching, and workplace culture—explains how leaders can build high-performing, resilient organizations by implementing the right frameworks at the right time. This blog breaks down the episode's key insights and practical guidance to help business owners navigate their company's growth stages with clarity and confidence.Building Mature, Aligned, and High-Trust OrganizationsMark begins by explaining what a Business Operating System (BOS) truly is: a combination of tools, disciplines, and concepts that help organizations stay aligned, accountable, and scalable. He emphasizes that every company already has an operating system—whether intentional or accidental—and the goal is to consciously design one that matches the business's stage of development. Popular frameworks like EOS, Scaling Up, and The Great Game of Business offer structured paths, but each company must adopt the tools most appropriate for their maturity level.He breaks down the five stages of business development—Formation, Early Growth, Expansion, Maturity, and Legacy—and stresses that leaders must avoid skipping steps. For example, documenting every process too early is counterproductive; focusing instead on clarity, roles, and early team alignment yields better results. As businesses grow, they often mistake size for maturity, creating organizations that look impressive on the outside but lack foundational discipline internally.Mark also highlights the importance of culture, trust, and forgiveness. High-performance organizations assume goodwill, set clear expectations, and use trust as a guiding principle—while also acknowledging that not all behaviors should be tolerated. He references research from Dr. Paul Zak to explain how trust chemically fuels team performance and why leaders must foster environments where transparency and accountability thrive. Platforms like Ninety help reinforce these practices by providing tools for meetings, scorecards, vision alignment, and process documentation, ensuring companies build habits that support long-term excellence.About Mark AbbottMark Abbott is the Founder and CEO of Ninety, a platform designed to help small and mid-sized businesses implement and sustain business operating systems.

As global finance strains under shifting power structures, author and fintech thinker Emmanuel Daniel, founder of TAB Global, argues that the real disruption isn't technological - it's personal. This episode explores finance as a geopolitical arena where identity, data, and sovereignty reshape who holds leverage. What happens when individuals, not institutions, become the organizing unit of the monetary system? And how does that rewire cross-border power, trust, and risk? A provocative look at the future architecture of money.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction (00:15) - Emmanuel Daniel's Book and Key Insights(02:44) - The Ice Metaphor in Finance(03:22) - The Evolution of Finance and Personalization(10:11) - Impact of Financialization on the Economy(25:31) - Cryptocurrencies and the Future of Finance(30:59) - The Spectrum of Tokenization(31:31) - Information as the Ultimate Token(32:44) - The Digital Nature of Money(33:40) - The Durability of Bitcoin and Ethereum(38:06) - The Role of AI and Open Source in Tokenization(42:23) - The Future of National Debt and Financialization(48:37) - The Impact of Financialization on Global Economies(58:48) - The Role of the US in Financialization(01:00:56) - The Tension Between Personalization and Intermediaries(01:03:38) - Concluding Thoughts and Future Implications--Referenced in the Show:Emmanuel's Website: https://www.emmanueldaniel.com/biography/TAB Global - https://tab.global/The Great Transition - https://www.emmanueldaniel.com/the-great-transition/--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Independent musicians leave significant money on the table—not from lack of talent, but from unclaimed royalties and overlooked revenue streams. Amani Roberts, music business educator and author of the USA Today bestseller "The Quiet Storm," reveals the specific registration gaps costing artists thousands of dollars annually.   In this conversation, Amani breaks down the four major royalty collection systems most artists fail to use properly: PRO registration for public performance royalties, SoundExchange for digital performance royalties, publishing royalties through services like Songtrust, and the Mechanical Licensing Collective. He explains how unclaimed royalties eventually get redistributed to major labels based on market share—money that independent artists could be collecting themselves.   Beyond royalty recovery, Amani shares his framework for building a private and corporate event business that can generate 5-10x more revenue than traditional bar gigs. He details the specific industry associations to join (MPI, PCMA, SITE), how to price yourself for corporate events, and the contract elements that differ from venue bookings.   Our conversation also covers email list-building strategies that convert social media followers into owned audience assets, how book publishing creates revenue opportunities beyond book sales, and why direct fan-to-artist platforms should be every musician's first 90-day priority.   Key Insights from This Episode   The Four Unclaimed Royalty Streams: Independent artists commonly miss public performance royalties (PROs), digital performance royalties (SoundExchange), publishing royalties (Songtrust), and mechanical royalties (Mechanical Licensing Collective). Unclaimed royalties eventually get redistributed to major labels—money independent artists should be collecting.   Royalty Recovery: Artists can recover unclaimed royalties going back up to four years. Proper metadata management and identical information across all platforms are critical for successful collection.   The Streaming Misconception: The biggest misconception is believing streaming is where most royalties come from. Mechanical, public performance, and publishing royalties represent more significant opportunities that are frequently overlooked.   Private and Corporate Event Revenue: Private and corporate events can generate 5-10x more revenue than bar gigs. Break in by joining event planning associations like Meeting Professionals International (MPI), Professional Conference Management Association (PCMA), and Society for Incentive Travel Executives (SITE). Volunteer at local chapters to build relationships with planners.   Corporate Event Pricing: Ask about the budget upfront, research past hires, and price based on your worth with flexibility. Always require deposits and negotiate hotel stays, parking, meals, and written/video testimonials in contracts.   Email List Monetization: Email lists are owned media (social is rented space). Revenue generation can begin with 50 subscribers. Use lead magnets like acoustic song versions and tools like MiniChat to automate conversions.   Book Publishing Strategy: Books rarely generate significant income from sales, but can increase speaking fees, create performance opportunities at events, and enhance rates for services. View publishing as paid marketing for your broader business.   90-Day Priority: Launch a direct fan-to-artist platform like Patreon with a compelling lead magnet for fast revenue impact.   Sustainable Revenue Model: Target 30% from performance, 30-35% from direct-to-fan, 20% from merchandise, 15% from private events.

In this powerful coaching session, Christine supports Nina, a high-achieving woman who has learned to rely on herself since childhood—and now wonders why love feels so hard to receive. Despite years of healing and success, she finds herself attracting men who are kind but lack direction, and she struggles to understand whether her independence is strength or self-protection. Christine helps Nina uncover the difference between healthy masculine energy and overfunctioning rooted in trauma. Together, they explore how early loss and betrayal created hypervigilance, and how surrendering to trust—especially through a deeper spiritual relationship—can open the door to healthy, reciprocal love. If you've ever been told you're "too strong," or you find it easier to do everything yourself than to receive support, this episode will help you reframe that pattern with compassion and start allowing love in. Consider / Ask Yourself: Do you relate to overfunctioning or feeling like the one everyone relies on? Is receiving help or love uncomfortable for you? Do you believe you need to have everything handled to feel safe? Have you confused control with confidence or independence with strength? Key Insights and A-HAs: Overfunctioning is often a trauma response, not healthy masculine energy. When we've been hurt by men, we often project that hurt onto "the masculine" as a whole. Safety must come before surrender—your nervous system needs evidence that love can be safe. Healing happens in stages; each relationship can serve as a stepping stone toward healthy partnership. True surrender isn't weakness—it's a return to trust, faith, and divine alignment. How to Deepen the Work: Reflect on early memories that taught you to "handle it all" and what beliefs they created. Practice receiving in small, everyday ways (compliments, help, rest). Replace "I need to fix it" with "I'm open to support." Pray or journal: "God, help me align with my most loving and healthy match." Remember that trust—both spiritual and relational—is a muscle built over time.

In this deeply comforting and enlightening episode of Two Women Chatting, Michelle Ford is joined by world-renowned psychic medium Sally Morgan to explore intuition, gut instinct, and the soul's journey beyond the physical world.Sally shares how midlife is often a time when our psychic awareness and intuition naturally open up, giving us a stronger “spidey sense” and a clearer connection to the spiritual realm. She explains why trusting your gut isn't just a metaphor - it's a powerful way to navigate life, make decisions, and sense the energy around you.The conversation also explores the comforting truths about passing over: that death is far more about love than fear, no one ever passes alone, and our loved ones are accompanied into the spirit world. Sally introduces the concept of “spiritual capital”, explaining how the emotional and energetic resources we build over a lifetime can help us stay grounded, resilient, and connected to both ourselves and the people we love.Whether you're curious about developing your intuition, seeking reassurance about grief, or wanting to understand the soul's journey, this episode offers insight, warmth, and practical guidance for embracing your midlife psychic abilities.

Hi friends!  Today we're talking about the transition from conventional agriculture and livestock production to a regenerative or restorative system.  I spent two days in the truck, listening to Will Harris' book, A Bold Return to Giving a Damn, and it gave me some great insights into the decades-long journey of White Oak Pastures, as well as a look into the future of our ranch.  If you're considering a production system that is closer to nature's design or if you're in the messy middle like we are, this episode will help you see the possibilities, problems, and the beautiful potential.  Let's get to it!   All the Best!

You asked, we answered. In this special listener Q&A episode, co-host Annette turns the tables and asks Cathal the questions we usually ask our guests.This is the story behind Better at Work: why it started, what we're building, and where we're going next.

00:00–03:40 Discussion on churches refusing aid, drug dealers supporting community, City of God analogy.08:40–12:40 Georgia father shoots son 12 times over argument involving car door and girlfriend.13:10–19:50 North Carolina man kills girlfriend, FaceTimes friend with the body as proof.20:00–23:30 Texas woman tortured and chained by “friends” for months, BB gun abuse revealed.24:00–31:00 Elderly mother of 13 forges husband's signature for surrogacy, resulting in felony charges.34:00–42:30 43-year-old woman impregnates 14-year-old daughter's date at junior high dance; moral outrage.44:30–46:40 Commentary on Starbucks collectible cups and consumer culture.47:30–52:30 Discussion of government shutdown, ACA subsidies, political blame, and 50-year mortgages.55:00–1:01:00 Epstein files, government corruption, and cover-up speculation with humor and skepticism.Key Insights and ConclusionsThere is a perceived failure of traditional community institutions, notably churches, to adequately support vulnerable populations, leading to alternative support systems emerging—even from illicit sources.Family violence and abuse remain pressing social issues, often involving complex dynamics and tragic outcomes.Medical ethics, reproductive technologies, and family planning can become legal and moral battlegrounds when deception and desperation intersect.Political and economic systems are described as increasingly dysfunctional, with government shutdowns, healthcare instability, and predatory financial products exacerbating societal stress.Cultural commentary reveals a blend of humor and criticism aimed at contemporary social norms, consumerism, and political scandals.There is deep skepticism toward political elites and a strong desire for accountability, particularly regarding high-profile cases like the Epstein scandal.

Unlocking Sustainable Growth for Service-Based Businesses: Insights from Michael WalshIn this episode, host Josh Elledge interviews Michael Walsh, President and Founder of Walsh Business Growth Institute. Michael shares insights from over 30 years of helping service-based businesses scale successfully while keeping their people, purpose, and processes aligned. The discussion explores the stages where businesses typically plateau, the impact of AI and generational shifts, and how leaders can empower their teams to drive sustainable growth.Building People-First Growth SystemsMichael explains that most service-based companies hit growth ceilings around $2M, $5M, $10M, and $20M in revenue — not because of lack of opportunity, but because their structures can't keep up. As businesses scale, leaders often tighten control, adding more rules and oversight. Instead, sustainable growth requires empowerment — giving talented teams autonomy, clarity, and purpose.He emphasizes that today's workforce, especially Millennials and Gen Z, values trust, flexibility, and inclusion. Leaders must evolve from top-down management to coaching, mentorship, and development. Post-pandemic realities and rapid AI adoption have further transformed how businesses operate, making adaptability and people-first systems non-negotiable.Drawing from his new book, Freedom by Design, Michael outlines four behavioral pillars of successful growth: understanding individual strengths, building complementary teams, fostering supportive environments, and maintaining flexible structures. His approach helps leaders break through plateaus and rediscover the joy of business ownership by creating alignment between people, purpose, and performance.About Michael WalshMichael Walsh is the President and Founder of Walsh Business Growth Institute and author of Freedom by Design: The Established Business Owner's Guide to Grow, Make an Impact, and Find the Joy Again. With three decades of experience advising service-based organizations, Michael helps leaders navigate growth plateaus, empower their teams, and build businesses that thrive without burning out.About Walsh Business Growth InstituteThe Walsh Business Growth Institute helps established service-based companies overcome growth barriers through strengths-based strategy, leadership development, and structural optimization. Their customized programs empower business owners to scale intentionally, improve team performance, and create long-term operational freedom.

In this deeply supportive session, Christine coaches Kelly, who is learning to open her heart to healthy love after leaving a toxic marriage. Kelly recently met someone kind and emotionally available—but her nervous system keeps sending mixed signals, leaving her wondering whether it's intuition or fear. Christine helps her understand how the body stores memories of past trauma, how to distinguish real red flags from old triggers, and how to gently retrain the nervous system to feel safe in love again. Together, they explore what integration looks like after healing work—when awareness turns into embodiment. If you've ever questioned your body's signals, struggled to trust love again, or feared repeating old patterns, this conversation will bring deep clarity and compassion. Consider / Ask Yourself: Do you mistake fear for intuition—or intuition for fear? Have past painful relationships made it hard to feel safe in love? Are you waiting to be "fully healed" before allowing intimacy in? How do you respond when someone truly shows up for you? Key Insights and A-HAs: The nervous system often reacts to memories, not the present moment. Fear can mean danger—or it can mean expansion. Integration is the bridge between awareness and embodiment. Healing doesn't mean fear disappears; it means you relate to it differently. Safe love can still feel unfamiliar—and that's okay. How to Deepen the Work: Journal about how your body reacts when someone is kind, consistent, or loving. Write down red flags from past relationships to clarify what's truly unsafe. Practice "titration": letting love in slowly, without judgment. Notice when your nervous system feels unsettled and speak to it with compassion. Remind yourself: you can feel fear and stay open to love. Sponsor: Cured Nutrition Need more energy and focus without the crash?

In this heartfelt and relatable session, Christine coaches Mischa—a high-achieving, only child who's used to getting what she wants and is now navigating a season where nothing seems to be going her way. After leaving a toxic job and experiencing disappointment in love, Mischa feels stuck in what Christine calls an expectation hangover: the emotional crash that comes when reality doesn't match our hopes. Together, they explore how unmet desires are not punishments but powerful invitations to grow. Christine helps Mischa see how her childhood pattern of being soothed by “getting what she wanted” now limits her ability to self-soothe and find peace when life doesn't deliver. This episode invites all of us to stop labeling difficult seasons as problems—and instead recognize them as sacred opportunities to develop resilience, self-worth, and inner stability. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the work but life just isn't “flowing,” this conversation will help you see that you are in flow—just on a deeper, soul-centered level.   Consider/Ask Yourself Are you in a season where it feels like you just can't get what you want? Do you find your worth tied to achievement, attention, or validation? When life doesn't go your way, do you resist or allow yourself to feel the disappointment? What might shift if you learned to find safety and love within yourself—no matter what's happening externally?   Key Insights and A-HAs Expectation hangovers aren't setbacks—they're realignments. True freedom comes when we stop needing things outside us to validate our worth. Discomfort is not failure—it's emotional strength training. We repeat childhood patterns until we consciously choose new responses. Flow isn't always about ease; sometimes it's about deep integration and recalibration.   How to Deepen the Work When things don't go your way, pause and ask: “What is this season teaching me?” Sit with disappointment rather than rushing to fix or distract from it. Journal about times when you've equated love or safety with “getting what you want.” Practice self-validation by naming three things you're proud of—no external approval required. Reframe “stuckness” as a recalibration period where your soul is upgrading your inner strength.   Upcoming Program Emerge 2025 — A 3-Month Integration Journey for Women Christine's newest program is for women who already know their patterns but still feel stuck repeating them. Through live coaching, somatic breathwork, and embodiment practices, you'll integrate what you've learned and create sustainable transformation.

His perspective—both mechanic and driver of AI systems—reveals why the gap between capability and comprehension might be the real bottleneck.Microsoft's research shows 70% of AI transformation involves people, 20% workflows, and only 10% algorithms. Yet many organizations find their resource allocation tells a different story. Darryl brings rare expertise: implementing generative AI at JERA while building frameworks that help people actually trust and adopt it.Key ThemesThe Translation Gap Legal teams are discovering they're not gatekeepers—they're translators between technical capability and human comprehension. When technical concepts get explained but not understood, that's where adoption stalls.Trust as Architecture Trust operates in layers: data, algorithm, company. When one layer doesn't hold, the entire stack can struggle—regardless of technical capability.The Education Battle The real challenge isn't teaching people to use AI tools. It's making complexity accessible without losing truth. Translation capability is becoming strategic, not supplementary.Democratization with Guardrails "Vibe coding" enables people who've never coded to build solutions. The question becomes: How do you create frameworks that enable exploration while maintaining standards?The Soft Skills Advantage When everyone has access to similar AI tools, what creates distinction? Humanity, authenticity, judgment, empathy, wisdom—the entirely human elements.Key Insights from Darryl

In this soulful and courageous session, Christine coaches Christina—a woman in her mid-40s navigating a season of heartbreak, transformation, and rediscovery. After years of deep personal work, Christina finds herself between two worlds: the part that longs to repair a relationship marked by betrayal and the part that knows it may be time to let go. Through their conversation, Christine helps Christina uncover how childhood patterns of betrayal and instability shaped her adult relationships—and how her current challenge is an invitation to reclaim trust, safety, and self-worth from within. Together, they explore how to discern between intuition and fear, how to release self-judgment, and how compassion—not perfection—is the key to healing. If you've ever questioned whether to stay or move on, struggled to trust yourself, or felt stuck between awareness and action, this episode will remind you that every moment of confusion can be a sacred initiation into deeper self-trust and freedom.   Consider/Ask Yourself Do you know what's next for you—or do you feel caught between awareness and action? Are you replaying familiar childhood dynamics in your adult relationships? Do you struggle to trust yourself or feel safe in your own choices? Can you offer compassion to the parts of you that are still learning and healing?   Key Insights and A-HAs Our deepest relationship struggles often mirror early attachment wounds. Trust is both a decision and a feeling—it begins by creating safety within. Compassion, not criticism, is what allows transformation to take root. Healing is not linear; we revisit old patterns to integrate new awareness. Sometimes our life “stalls” because our soul is prioritizing foundational healing.   How to Deepen the Work Reflect on moments where you've outsourced safety or validation to others—then gently reclaim that power. When confusion arises, pause and ask: “Is this my adult self speaking, or my inner child seeking reassurance?” Write a letter to your younger self affirming that you can now provide the safety and love she needed. Practice compassion daily—especially when the inner critic says you “should be further along.” Trust that healing developmental wounds is not a distraction from your purpose; it is the path to your purpose.   Upcoming Program Emergence: A Live Coaching Container with Christine Launching this November, Emergence is a transformative group experience designed for women who have “done the work” but still feel stuck in one key area of life.

With real-life scenarios and actionable guidance, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to take control of their financial future and ensure their wishes are honored. Tune in to learn how proactive estate planning can ease the burden for your family and spark meaningful conversations around the holidays! 

In this powerful coaching session, Christine works with Kevin, a husband of 21 years, as he explores the delicate balance between healthy relational needs and unresolved childhood wounds. Kevin opens up about longing for deeper intimacy and appreciation from his wife—and wondering if those desires are truly valid or rooted in his past. Together, they unpack how unmet childhood needs often show up in our adult relationships, especially when we expect a partner to fulfill what our parents couldn't. Christine helps Kevin distinguish between the “little boy” who seeks attention and the “grown man” who can communicate clearly, take leadership, and set his partner up for success. If you've ever felt unseen, under appreciated, or rejected by someone you love—or if you've wondered why the same emotional patterns keep showing up in your relationships—this episode offers a roadmap for transforming frustration into empowerment and deeper connection.   Consider/Ask Yourself Are there needs in your relationship that go unmet, leaving you resentful or withdrawn? Do you ever feel like your partner “should just know” what you need? Have you confused childhood wounding with adult desire? How might your relationship change if you led with grounded communication instead of expectation?   Key Insights and A-HAs Many relational frustrations stem from projecting unhealed childhood wounds onto our partners. Expressing needs from a grounded, adult self invites intimacy—while expressing them from a wounded inner child often repels it. True leadership in love means clearly communicating needs and guiding your partner on how to meet them. Resentment and unspoken expectations block intimacy more than unmet needs themselves. Relationships thrive when both partners take 100% responsibility for their own healing and communication.   How to Deepen the Work Before expressing a need, pause to ask: “Is this coming from my adult self or my inner child?” Practice the phrase: “If you really knew me, you'd know I'd love to hear…” to communicate appreciation requests gently. Create “safe yes” conversations—where each partner can express needs without fear of rejection. Consider setting aside scheduled connection time to nurture intimacy intentionally. Reflect on how your family patterns might still shape how you relate to love, desire, and worthiness.   Upcoming Event Couples Retreat with Christine & Steph Join Christine and Steph for a small, intimate couples retreat in San Diego, designed to deepen communication, heal emotional patterns, and restore passion and partnership.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own year-end planning process. As we look ahead to 2026, I'll walk you through how I reflect on the past year, celebrating what worked, identifying lessons learned, and checking in on both team and personal well-being. I share everything from my practical planning frameworks and financial benchmarks to trend forecasting and tips for creating a collaborative culture. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why intentional reflection and bold, future-oriented questions are essential for setting effective priorities and ensuring organizational growth What emerging trends mean for travel, tourism, and hospitality planning in 2026 How I use practical financial benchmarks and department-level planning to ensure the organization is ready for upcoming challenges and opportunities Why operationalizing collaboration by setting clear roles, goals, budgets, and documented processes moves it from a “nice to have” to a real strategic advantage What steps you can take to engage your whole team in the visioning and planning process to create greater buy-in and drive results How you can use my 2026 planning checklist and reflection questions to set your organization up for long-term success Begin with Genuine Reflection Before plotting the future, it's crucial to anchor your plans in a clear-eyed assessment of the present and recent past. It's so important to reflect on accomplishments, goal progress, team health, and personal leadership. I ask myself and my team a few probing questions: What did we accomplish this year? Where did we fall short and why? Are our people thriving, or stretched thin? How is my own mental wellbeing impacting my leadership? These multi-level reflections ground the planning process in reality and provide the learning needed to improve both professionally and personally. Regularly scheduled interviews—such as “stay interviews” with staff—help surface the reasons your team members stay and opportunities for positive change. Industry Trends and Future Readiness How well are you anticipating and responding to the shifts in your sector? It's critical to keep abreast of evolving trends—such as the rise of sustainability and regenerative tourism, persistent workforce challenges, and technological advancements like AI and digital personalization. Simultaneously, there's a noticeable trend toward travelers seeking meaningful, off-the-beaten-path experiences, as well as a movement to “unplug” and seek present-moment enjoyment. Empowering Your Team Planning isn't a solo exercise. At TAP we use a bottom-up approach: each department creates and presents their strategic plans, which are then built into broader company goals. Our annual team retreats blend strategic planning, culture-building, and a lot of fun ensuring everyone plays a role in shaping the future. We foster a sense of ownership among team members at all levels, after all, when everyone is involved, energy and commitment to the plan dramatically increase. I want to leave you with this challenge: What role will collaboration play in your 2026 plan, and how will you operationalize it to drive real results—not just good intentions?

In this episode, Christine coaches Jessica, a multi-passionate entrepreneur who struggles to follow through on her vision. Jessica shares how she often throws herself into new ideas with enthusiasm, only to lose momentum when life shifts or self-doubt creeps in. Although she feels deeply called to help mothers raising children in challenging family systems, she wrestles with limiting beliefs about whether people actually want what she offers. Christine helps Jessica reframe her so-called “career ADHD” as a strength—multi-passionate creativity—and uncovers the deeper fears that keep her from committing fully to her dream. They discuss the power of belief, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how to align her entrepreneurial mindset with truth, love, and service. If you've ever second-guessed your calling, started projects you didn't finish, or doubted whether your work really matters, this coaching session will inspire you to release self-sabotage and step forward with clarity and confidence.   Consider/Ask Yourself Do you start projects with excitement but struggle to finish them? Have you labeled yourself as “scattered” or “inconsistent” instead of seeing your creativity as a gift? Are you holding back from your dream because you fear people won't want what you have to offer? How might changing your beliefs about yourself and your audience shift the results you see?   Key Insights and A-HAs Being multi-passionate isn't a problem—it's part of the entrepreneurial spirit. Our beliefs shape our outcomes: if we believe there's no audience, our energy reflects that. Consistency in creating and sharing builds trust, especially with sensitive topics like parenting and family. Fear of failure often shows up as “not finishing,” but true growth comes from committing fully. Relief, not resistance, signals alignment with truth.   How to Deepen the Work Identify one limiting belief that's draining your momentum. Write down evidence that challenges it. Clarify who your “ideal client” is and create content as if you're speaking directly to them. Reframe social media or marketing as opportunities to build trust rather than chores. Normalize the ups and downs of entrepreneurship—it's part of the journey, not proof you're failing.   Upcoming Event Christine's Women's Retreat A transformational retreat designed to help you release old patterns, reclaim your truth, and radiate love into your life and the world.

Coaches must help clients navigate grief, displacement, and reinvention with dignity.No one crosses alone: Communities of reinvention—peer circles, guilds, and city hubs—are vital in turning disruption into belonging and shared growth.The builder's mindset: The future is not something that happens to us but something we co-create. Leaders, policymakers, and coaches must “grab a plank” and build the bridge toward flourishing.

In this tender and powerful coaching session, Christine works with SJ—a single mother who has done tremendous inner work but still wonders if something is blocking her from partnership. Together, they explore the difference between apathy and protection, generational patterns, and the fear of letting someone see you at your most vulnerable. As SJ opens up about her history, caregiving responsibilities, and longing for connection, Christine reflects back the progress she's already made and challenges the belief that there's “a problem” to be solved. Instead, this conversation shows how surrender, self-love, and reframing our stories can transform what we see as liabilities into pathways for deeper intimacy. If you've ever felt “stuck,” compared your progress to others, or believed that your life circumstances made you unlovable, this episode will help you soften those fears and recognize the growth already alive within you.   Consider/Ask Yourself Do you sometimes confuse surrender with apathy? Have you felt so self-sufficient that there's little room for anyone else? Do you carry the fear that your challenges or past make you undesirable in relationships? How might it feel to let someone witness you in your weakest moments and discover that you are still worthy of love?   Key Insights and A-HAs Not every challenge is a “problem” to be solved—sometimes there's no problem at all. What looks like apathy may actually be self-protection. True partnership is about interdependence, not codependence. Intimacy often deepens when we let others see us in our hardest moments. Shifting your inner language and beliefs can change how others experience your life story.   Upcoming Event Christine's Women's Retreat Join Christine for a life-changing experience where you'll release old patterns, reconnect with your truth, and step into the next level of your life.

In this candid coaching session, Christine works with Andi, a coach who left a stable engineering career to pursue her true calling—but is now questioning whether to keep going or retreat back to what feels “safe.” After years of effort without financial stability, Andi wonders if she's chasing a pipe dream. Christine helps her uncover the deeper dynamics at play: how childhood conditioning, generational fear, and the belief that success must follow a formula are holding her back. Together, they explore what it means to believe in your dreams even when external results lag, and how coaching isn't just about marketing or money—it's about embodying truth and evolving consciousness. If you've ever doubted your path, felt torn between passion and practicality, or questioned whether your dreams are valid, this conversation will give you clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of purpose. Consider / Ask Yourself: Have you ever wondered if your dreams are too unrealistic—or if the “safe” path is actually safer? Did childhood experiences or parental voices shape your beliefs about success? Are you harder on yourself than you are on others you support? Do you feel like you have “one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake” when it comes to pursuing your passion?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Coaching (and many soul-led vocations) is a spiritual journey, not just a business model. Our worth is not defined by clients' results or financial benchmarks. Childhood wounds and inherited fears can sabotage dreams if left unhealed. Success requires both service and the willingness to receive energetic exchange. Believing in yourself and embodying your truth creates alignment that attracts opportunities.   How to Deepen the Work: Identify whose voice you hear in your doubts—is it truly yours? Reflect on childhood dreams that were squashed and consider how they want to express now. Reframe support not as “fixing” but as resourcing yourself for the journey. Notice where you're trying to make your path formulaic (A + B = C) and invite curiosity instead. Ask: “What do I know to be true about myself?” and breathe into that truth daily.   Upcoming Event: Christine's Women's Retreat takes place October 17–19, 2025. This transformational weekend helps women release old programming, reconnect with their true desires, and step boldly into the life they're meant to live. Partial scholarships are now available, and generous listeners can sponsor another woman's attendance.
