If you love your partner but still feel disconnected, misunderstood, or frustrated by recurring issues in your relationship or marriage, you're not alone. Today's episode is about bridging the gap between the relationship you have and the one you want. Today, I'm joined by my friends Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos, a married couple and master relationship coaches with over 30 years of combined experience helping people heal relationship wounds, break the cycles that keep showing up in their love lives, and build the kind of relationship most people have stopped believing is possible. Stefanos is the author of a powerful new book, Tuned In and Turned On, which offers a path to self-healing, deeper connection, and true love that lasts. Christine brings the feminine perspective and spiritual psychology, while Stefanos brings deep work around masculinity, trauma, and what he calls Sacred Union. In our conversation, we discussed why relationships can be so challenging, even when both people are committed to growth. Christine and Stefanos also explain why attempting to change your partner often creates more disconnection, how unmet childhood needs are projected onto your relationship, and why true repair matters more than avoiding conflict in the first place.

Whether it was bad shrimp or a virus, the outcome – or the output, rather – was the same. Week one of Madrid was rocked by player illness and withdrawals, with Iga retiring for only the second time in her career and Coco getting sick on court before pulling through against Cirstea. We take a scattershot approach to Madrid, highlighting Pliskova, Jodar, and Grant (and a few lowlights). Plus, we take an extended look at electronic line calling on clay, the untrustworthiness of ball marks, and the imperfections and idiosyncrasies of tennis that make the sport sing. We finish up with some offcourt news – including the surprising departure of the WTA's CEO – plus rapid-fire listener questions.  1:40 Carlos is out of Rome and Roland Garros 4:35 Virus or food poisoning … either way, the players were sick as dogs  11:40 Plisko, Naomi, Tyra Grant, Rafa J 21:05 Alex and Grigor down bad, Stefanos crashing out but actually winning 26:20 Electronic line calling on clay: the ball mark isn't as clear-cut as you'd think 35:15 Maria Sharapova is in the podcast business 38:15 WTA CEO Portia Archer has resigned 40:35 The Fritz-Riddle breakup 43:55 A few listener questions

For many high achievers, success in business doesn't always translate to success at home. I've seen many entrepreneurs build successful companies, generate life-changing wealth, and yet still struggle in their marriages and relationships. Often, it's because the same drive that fuels success is the very thing creating distance in the relationships that matter most.This pattern is something Stefanos Sifandos understands well. As a relationship expert, speaker, and bestselling author, he has spent over two decades helping high-performing individuals master their inner world. His newest book, Tuned In and Turned On, offers a blueprint for healing the hurts in relationships. Through his work in emotional intelligence and relational dynamics, Stefanos helps entrepreneurs and leaders uncover the hidden patterns that shape how they show up in life and love.In our conversation, Stefanos explains how success often compensates for unresolved internal struggles, how chronic stress impairs communication and connection at home, and how high performers subtly sabotage their relationships through control and avoidance. He also offers practical ways to build emotional resilience, improve presence, and deepen relationships without sacrificing ambition or success.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why many high achievers struggle in relationships despite being incredibly successful professionally.✅ How emotional regulation directly impacts leadership, communication, connection, and how a simple stillness practice can help you build it.✅ The hidden patterns of control and avoidance that quietly sabotage relationships and marriages.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/287Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

Why is insurance such a loop hole scam? Why won't they take care of the things we pay for? And why do they drop you after a claim? Their only goal is profits, not to insure you. USAA handled this poorly and State Farm should have forced them to do the right thing. They still may. I'll update as we hear more. As of right now we are out of pocket for something that was not our fault, nor should have been.If you ever get the chance, eat at Stefanos on South Irby in Florence SC. Tell them Josh and Deloris sent you. :)

Sports and politics … it turns out they DO mix! A few dozen ATP players and staff are stuck in Dubai as a result of Trump's attack on Iran, as the Mexican tournaments go forward without a hitch after last week's unrest. On court, Medvedev wins a second Dubai title, Longhorn Stearns grabs Austin by the horns, Bucsa becomes the Spanish #1, and Darderi and Cobolli win Latin tournaments on two continents. For fun, James takes a tennis geography quiz and we do an extended diatribe (requiem?) on The Traitors.    1:40 ATP players and personnel stuck in Dubai 6:45 This is not a drill!!  9:00 The Ellison data-media-government-tennis empire   15:35 Craig Tiley is coming to America  19:50 Results: Dubai, Acapulco, Merida, Austin   31:10 They didn't tell Stefanos you're not supposed to talk about appearance fees 34:35 James takes a tennis geography quiz! 44:55 A Traitors diatribe

In this episode, I explore what it really takes to break free from the relationship patterns that keep us stuck—with trained educator and relationship expert Stefanos Sifandos. With a background in behavioral science, trauma, and somatics, Stefanos brings a grounded, embodied perspective to the way we love, attach, and relate to ourselves and others.We unpack how early experiences and unprocessed trauma quietly shape our nervous systems, our choices, and the dynamics we recreate in intimate relationships. Stefanos explains why awareness alone isn't enough, and how lasting change requires working with the body—not just the mind—to rewire safety, trust, and emotional regulation. If you've ever found yourself repeating the same cycles despite years of “knowing better,” this conversation sheds light on why that happens and what actually helps shift it.We also talk about self-leadership, emotional responsibility, and what it means to cultivate a healthier sense of self without bypassing the discomfort that growth often demands. Stefanos shares practical insights on boundaries, communication, and how to meet conflict as an opportunity for deeper connection rather than something to avoid or dominate.This episode is an invitation to relate more consciously to your partner, your past, and yourself. If you're committed to personal growth, healing relational wounds, and stepping into your highest potential with honesty and integrity, this conversation offers both clarity and depth.Order Stefanos' book, Tuned In and Turned On: A Path to True Connection, Deep Healing, and Lasting Love, at tunedinandturnedonbook.com.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

So many couples are trying to fix intimacy by focusing on communication tools, date nights, or changing their partner's behavior—yet still feel disconnected. In this episode, we sit down with relationship educator and behavioral scientist Stefanos Sifandos to talk about why intimacy can't truly deepen without inner healing first. Stefanos shares his own journey and breaks down a powerful framework from his new book, Tuned In and Turned On, explaining how unresolved shame, avoidance, and nervous-system patterns quietly block emotional and physical closeness. We explore why romantic relationships are often the place where our deepest wounds surface—and why they're also one of the greatest opportunities for growth, healing, and transformation. Together, we walk through the three phases Stefanos teaches—inner healing, relational healing, and sacred union—and what each one looks like in real life. This conversation is especially meaningful for couples who love each other, want more intimacy, and sense that something deeper is being asked of them—personally and relationally. In this episode, we discuss: Why intimacy can't be repaired without personal responsibility and inner work How shame, avoidance, and self-protection show up in long-term relationships What relational healing actually looks like beyond "better communication" How inner healing opens the door to deeper connection, intimacy, and spiritual alignment If you've ever felt stuck between wanting closeness and feeling shut down—or wondered why intimacy feels harder than it used to—this episode will help you understand what's really going on and where to begin.  Listen in and let this conversation challenge the way you think about intimacy, healing, and growth in your relationship.

Most entrepreneurs are crushing it on paper… but quietly starving for connection behind the scenes.And that's exactly why I'm so fired up about today's episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, because I'm sitting down with my brother Stefanos Sifandos for a real, raw, and deeply powerful conversation about relationships, masculinity, healing, and what it actually takes to feel “turned on” by your life again.Stefanos is the kind of guy who doesn't just talk about connection, he lives it. He's a husband, a father, an international speaker, and a transformational coach who's helped people heal trauma, redefine masculinity, and build deeper, more connected lives for over two decades. He's also the author of a brand new book called Tuned In and Turned On: A Path to True Connection, Deep Healing, and Lasting Love, and trust me… It's not just a book, it's a blueprint.In this episode, we go way beyond surface-level “relationship tips.” We talk about the stuff most people avoid… the triggers, the trauma patterns, the disconnection that sneaks in when you're busy building a business and trying to be the provider… and the emotional armor that slowly kills intimacy if you don't face it.Stefanos breaks down how many of us aren't actually struggling because we're “bad at relationships”… we're struggling because we're operating from old wounds, unconscious protection strategies, and a nervous system that's been stuck in survival mode for way too long.And the reason this conversation matters so much right now is that the world is more connected digitally than ever… but emotionally? Spiritually? Intimately? We're disconnected as hell.This episode is an invitation to come back home to yourself and, from that place, build relationships that actually feel safe, alive, and deeply fulfilling.If you're an entrepreneur trying to build a business while also being a great partner, parent, and human… this episode is for you.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you?Stefanos says embracing the multi-layered aspects of being humans, right? That involves commerce and money and success and family and love and joy and tragedy and health and wellness and novelty and variety, like all the things, man. And really embracing that in a deeper way and submitting to that, like submitting to the you know, the fruits that God has given us, that our soulful expression has the opportunity to experience.

»Sreča ni nek dogodek. Sreča so očala, s katerimi lahko vidiš lepoto določenega dogodka. Sreča je kot kruh. Nauči se ga mesiti. Ko ga boš pekel, pa odpri okna. Naj diši po vsej soseski.« Odlomek je le del zgodbe, ki opisuje dotike lepote drobnih trenutkov življenja, ki se nas dotaknejo, če le znamo opazovati svet in ljudi. Stefanos Ksenakis je odličen opazovalec in trenutke, ki so se dotaknili njegove notranjosti je zbral in izdal v knjigi z naslovom Življenje je darilo. Še tri smo prebrali v tokratni oddaji.

Stefanos Sifandos is a close friend of mine, one of my personal coaches, and the author of the book Tuned In and Turned On.

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to be “tuned in” in your relationship, why so many men unknowingly disconnect through busyness and achievement, and how that disconnection slowly erodes intimacy.Stefanos breaks down how childhood conditioning, shame, and unprocessed pain show up in adult relationships and what men can do differently starting today. We also cover masculine and feminine dynamics, how safety creates attraction, why presence matters more than productivity at home, and the simple daily practices that help men reconnect without losing their edge.This episode is for married men, men in serious relationships, and anyone who wants deeper connection and fulfillment. Get the book + bonuses:TunedInAndTurnedOnBook.comFollow Stefanos:@StefanosSifandosPersonal Site: https://stefanossifandos.com/

Sue and Kendra got Stefano's mom Carmela on the phone to discuss him missing work yesterday..

In this episode, we dive deep with Stefanos Sifandos into the hidden wounds and unconscious patterns that quietly shape the way we love and relate. From the absence of healthy rites of passage in modern culture to the unspoken impact of the mother wound, Stefanos unpacks how unresolved trauma, confusion about identity, and unexamined survival strategies keep so many of us cycling through pain in intimacy and partnership. Through raw honesty and lived experience, he reminds us that real transformation is not about quick fixes but a lifelong process of facing ourselves with courage, compassion, and integrity—ultimately allowing us to build relationships rooted in truth and growth.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:30) Opening Conversation(05:20) Stefanos' Personal Hero's Journey(12:04) The Turning Point: A Catalyst for Change(14:45) The Journey into Personal Transformation(18:27) Challenges in Modern Relationships(32:29) The Role of Polarity in Relationships(44:59) The Mother Wound and Male Fragility(46:06) The Impact of Parental Influence(49:16) Mentors and Influential Books(54:11) The Role of Somatic Experiencing(01:00:09) Unconditional Love and Relationships(01:09:04) Devotion and Commitment in Modern Relationships(01:20:10) Messages to Men and Women(01:23:24) Conclusion and ResourcesGuest Linkshttps://stefanossifandos.com/https://coachwithstef.com/https://www.instagram.com/stefanossifandos/Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

Revive är en ny predikoserie från SOS Church Stockholm. I det fjärde avsnittet utmanar huvudpastor Christopher Fränberg oss att stå fasta för evangeliet och för sanningen, istället för att söka acceptans från andra. Ett kraftfullt budskap inspirerat av berättelsen om Stefanos i Apostlagärningarna, kapitel 6."

We've just returned from the US Open, excited to share some stories from the site. We cover our night session with Venus, the debut of Carlos' buzz cut, Felix vs some fake fans, and the luck of seeing Barbie K's opening match at two consecutive Slams. This has been something of a whiny US Open, though -- kicked off by Medvedev's calculated tantrum, then followed by Ostapenko's shameful display against Townsend (which Jonathan witnessed in person!). Later, we chat about the experience of a stretched out schedule, Serena inducting Maria into the Hall of Fame, the draws as they stand now.  1:30 Daniil Medvedev's desperation 11:10 Stefanos, another pissy baby 15:50 Your primary source for Townsend-Ostapenko  32:00 Victor Barber we are so sorry (this time) 36:20 Night session with Venus Williams! 43:10 An overwhelming sense of ickiness  53:05 Félix and the fake fans 62:50 How the Sunday start impacted the on-site experience 70:20 Inductrination  77:35 The draws at the cusp of week two 

KB, Harrison, & Mark are BACK and kick things off recapping the week that was in the Premier League. They recap the matches, KB pleads for a striker, and more. Then they recap the 2nd round of the Carabao Cup that answered KB's striker plea as Stefanos Tzimas DAZZLED in Brighton's 6-0 win over Oxford in the Carabao Cup matchup. Then they discuss the 3rd round draws and dance on Manchester United's grave as they get bounced by Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup.

Petros Tsitsipas has spent most of his career carving out a place on the doubles tour, often alongside his brother Stefanos, but in recent months, he has been shifting his focus back to singles. I recently had the chance to sit down with him for a long conversation about life on tour, the unique dynamic of playing with siblings, the changing nature of doubles, and, of course, his gear.

Today, Stefanos Sifandos joins Jillian to unpack the personal journey that led him to confront and heal his patterns of sex addiction and emotional avoidance. He shares openly about the trauma beneath compulsive behaviors, how shame thrives in secrecy, and why true freedom is found through inner work and relational honesty. Together, they explore how unresolved childhood wounds shape adult intimacy, and what it takes to break the cycle.

In this raw episode of Chatting With Candice, host Candice Horabcz sits down with relationship expert Stefanos Sifandos to explore the uncomfortable truths about modern relationships. They dive into why most relationships are actually trauma bonds disguised as love, the polarity dynamics that make or break attraction, and how childhood wounds create masks that destroy intimacy. Stefanos breaks down why vulnerability can kill attraction if done wrong, the difference between codependence and healthy interdependence, and what it actually takes to break free from unconscious patterns. This isn't typical relationship advice - it's brutal honesty about building relationships that thrive instead of just survive.Check out Stefanos Sifandos' socials: https://link.me/stefanossifandosCheck out Candice's socials and WebsiteFollow Candice Horbacz on socials: link.me/candicehorbaczSupport The Podcast on Patreon: http://patreon.com/candicehorbacz

In this week's coaching session, Christine Hassler works with Ashlee, who is struggling with a question many people face: how do you know if you're healed enough to enter a relationship? Ashlee shares her experiences with past relationships, childhood wounds, and codependent tendencies that have shaped her fears about choosing the right partner. This episode isn't just about dating—it's about learning to trust yourself and shifting from fear-based decision-making to a place of wisdom and self-awareness. Christine helps Ashlee identify where her fear is coming from, how to recognize patterns, and what it really means to be ready for a relationship.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Have you been in relationships where you felt like you were “dating your wounds” instead of a truly compatible partner? Do you ever question whether you're healed enough to be in a relationship? Are you struggling to trust yourself when it comes to picking the right partner? Do you find yourself looking for unconditional love in a romantic relationship—something you may not have received in childhood? Are you allowing your inner child to do the picking in relationships rather than your wise, adult self?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Healing is a lifelong process, and relationships will always bring opportunities for growth. It's important to recognize whether you are attracting a partner from a place of neediness and past wounds or from a place of confidence and self-trust. Codependent tendencies, such as trying to fix or save a partner, often stem from unmet childhood needs. Trusting yourself is essential to creating a healthy relationship—without self-trust, fear takes over. A partner cannot replace or compensate for the unconditional love you may have lacked in childhood—healthy relationships require personal responsibility for healing.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Identify your inner child's unmet needs and recognize how they might be showing up in your dating patterns. Shift from fear-based decision-making to trust-based dating—stop selecting partners based on what feels familiar (even if it's unhealthy) and focus on what aligns with your vision of a secure relationship. Heal before seeking healing from others—a healthy relationship can be supportive, but it should not be a substitute for deep personal work. Create clear relationship values—write out what a healthy, mature, and non-codependent relationship looks like. Reframe your relationship expectations—instead of expecting a partner to “fix” or “heal” you, seek someone who supports your journey while maintaining a strong sense of self.   Upcoming Event: Love Magnet Workshop If you're looking to attract love from a place of wholeness, Christine's free three-day “Love Magnet Workshop” is happening now. It's not too late to join. Sign up at christinehassler.com/lovemagnet. Upcoming Retreat: March 2024 Christine and Stefanos will be hosting a transformational retreat at The Art of Living Center.

Together, they explore the power of self-awareness, the magic of “Be The Queen,” and what it truly takes to step into your highest, most radiant self.     If you're ready to transform the way you show up in love and life, this episode is for you!

Historically, how were narratives used around race, species, and the beliefs of Western civilization? What have been the contemporary implications for those earlier societal beliefs?Stefanos Geroulanos is the director of the Remarque Institute, a professor of history at New York University, and the author of several books. His latest book is called The Invention of Prehistory: Empire, Violence, and Our Obsession with Human Origins. Greg and Stefanos discuss the complexities of defining human nature and the role of prehistory in understanding humanity's origins. Stefanos explores the ongoing debates about human progress, the impact of scientific discoveries like new fossils, and the culturally loaded interpretations of those findings. They also discuss how perspectives on indigenous populations and humanity's past are shaped by evolving scientific interpretations and narrative constructions, highlighting the intersection of science and politics in the research of human origins.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Show Links:Recommended Resources:TacitusCharles DarwinJean-Jacques RousseauThomas HobbesNapoleon ChagnonThe Dawn of EverythingJane GoodallMax MüllerMaurice OlenderRaymond DartNeanderthalThe Clan of the Cave BearGustav Victor Rudolf BornMemento moriOzymandiasAdam SmithGuest Profile:Stefanos-Geroulanos.comFaculty Profile at NYUHis Work:Amazon Author PageThe Invention of Prehistory: Empire, Violence, and Our Obsession with Human OriginsTransparency in Postwar France: A Critical History of the PresentThe Scaffolding of Sovereignty: Global and Aesthetic Perspectives on the History of a ConceptAn Atheism That Is Not Humanist Emerges in French ThoughtThe Problem of the FetishThe Human Body in the Age of Catastrophe: Brittleness, Integration, Science, and the Great WarStaging the Third Reich: Essays in Cultural and Intellectual HistoryThe Routledge Handbook of the History and Sociology of IdeasPower and Time: Temporalities in Conflict and the Making of HistoryWritings on MedicineKnowledge of LifeSelected Writings: On Self-Organization, Philosophy, Bioethics, and JudaismEpisode Quotes:Understanding who we are as humans is key to recognizing our differences47:37: If we can begin to admit that we are people who are culturally fundamentally, economically fundamentally different—our lemons come from half a world away, the meat that we consume from another half a world away, and so on. If we come around to understanding that our family structures, our relationships, our religious questions are structured in a different form, that our world is technologically bound, and that ultimately, one way or another, we have biological connections, but even our microbiomes must be fundamentally different from what ancient microbiomes were, then we will not end up having this need to say, "Here's where it's all begun."Recognizing fundamental problems in our story opens paths beyond human origins research54:49: Recognizing that there have been fundamental problems with a story is one path to recognizing that some of the things we believe in, and some of the hopes we want set, are not necessarily bound by that story entirely, nor were they ever necessarily or entirely bound by that story. I don't think that moral arguments would have ever utterly depended on human origins research.How human origins research helped overcome traditional views02:53: Human origins became really key at several stages, and at each of those stages, something absolutely current or something truly urgent was in play. Some of these moments had to do with overcoming traditional religious answers. Others had to do with an overcoming of ideas of human nature, so that certain kinds of stability of human nature and so on. Let's not pretend that they simply disappeared, but they did become secondary. And so human origins research came to fill that void. And in some respects, that's a real advance. And in some respects, that's a problem.Two stories that helped convince people about evolution44:40: I kept thinking, in some way, whether these stories of prehistory helped convince people about evolution. And I really thought that there were two of them that did. One was the bit that we were saying before about the thin veneer—that people came to use the expression so much and to believe there is a continuity between our antiquity and now. Not simply between another, meaning an indigenous person somewhere, but that person was a reflection of who we were. And that helped create the broader belief in human continuity. But the other one was this sense about a renaissance, that people would have to somehow come to this astonishing realization that their body is made of hundreds of thousands, millions of years, which is a story that they couldn't think of without these ruins within. 

We made it to Middle Sunday at Wimbledon! (Well, not all of us.) The bottom half of the women's draw is guaranteed to see a surprising finalist; in the top half, slightly more order prevails, even after the dismissals of Swiatek and Jabeur. The men's draw is proceeding mostly as expected on the top half, while the bottom has seen the rapid rise of Perricard, the precarious state of Djokovic's repaired knee, and a slightly spicy beef between Taylor Fritz and Arthur Rinderknech. We also witnessed the last of Andy Murray at Wimbledon, featuring a moving tribute, a singles withdrawal, and mother Judy getting into a self-inflicted internet scrape. 1:00 Early upsets set up a very interesting and unexpected women's bottom half 10:10 Navarro knocks out Gauff  18:55 Iga and Ons out within 20 minutes of each other  29:50 The return of Caroline Wozniacki, Esq. 35:50 Andy Murray's last dance at Wimbledon 41:10 AstonishGate 47:25 Stefanos was just here for the *filmmaking*, not the tradwife content 50:40 Have a nice flight home  53:25 Men's results: top half going to form, bottom's a little messy

This coaching call is about how to have a conscious conversation when anger is present. Today's caller, Megan, values growth and communication, yet she gets triggered when her husband needs space during tense conversations. She asks Christine for guidance on how to process her anger and have conscious conversations in her relationship.   [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode445].   No one communicates well when anger is present because we are in a completely different part of our brains. The part of the brain that anger resides in is ready to fight and do damage. When we are in that part of our brain we don't make the best choices. We are not in the part of our brain that accesses empathy, being resourced, cognitive functioning, and rationality. None of those skills are accessible when we are in anger.   Those of us who have done a lot of personal development work can sometimes have high expectations and high standards of how we should communicate and how other people should communicate with us. We need to remember that we are human. When we are in an argument, or we are not in a regulated state, it is difficult to consciously remind ourselves to use non-violent communication or to take a breath and release the anger in a healthy way or take some space.   Expecting ourselves to have amazing, empowered conversations when we are triggered is not an easy task. Because anger is a fiery, active energy that needs an outlet. If it isn't given a safe outlet or isn't expressed it will do other things.   Christine and Stefanos will be in Vancouver Canada during July and August 2024. If you would like to attend a reset workshop, or guided event contact Christine on Instagram @ChristineHassler.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you put a lot of pressure on yourself to be conscious when you are in an argument? Is anger a trigger for you? When someone gets angry, do you go into a trauma response, or do you fight, flight, or freeze? What is your attachment style? Growing up, were you shown how to deal with big feelings in a healthy way?   Megan's Question: Megan would like guidance about communication when anger is present and her husband needs space.   Megan's Key Insights and Ahas: She and her husband value growth and communication. When anger is present she forgets her healthy communication skills. She beats herself up for letting anger take over. She goes into an anxious attachment style when she gets angry. Her husband needs space to regulate when anger comes up. She didn't see much anger in her childhood. Her grandfather had anger issues. Her parents didn't express their emotions. She fears losing connection and love. A past boyfriend had a pattern of love-bombing her and then pulling away. She is not comfortable with big feelings. She uses sarcasm to express anger. She is ready to practice Christine's guidance.   How to Get Over It and On With It: Forgive herself for dropping into judgment. Take a deep breath and have a temper tantrum when she feels triggered to regulate her nervous system. When her husband needs space, actively release her anger. Remind herself that her husband taking space is not him leaving the relationship.   Resources: Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover, by Christine Hassler @ChristinHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Assist@ChristineHassler.com Jill@ChristineHassler.com — For information on any of my services Get on the Waitlist to be coached on the show.

This coaching call is about how being authentic attracts things most in alignment with what we want. Today's caller, Lisa, wants to call in a committed relationship. She feels her life choices may be keeping her from finding a partner. She asks for guidance about how to call in the partner she desires.   [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode444].   One of our superpowers as women is that we are highly adaptable and it can be a beautiful asset. But, it can also serve as a liability because, often, we think we need to adapt ourselves to get a man or to not scare someone off.   Anytime we become adaptable to try and align with a partner we contract our true selves. Our adaptability becomes a shadow side of our superpower because it doesn't feel super powerful to contract ourselves and to be something we are not.   Our unresolved issues from childhood, basically the beliefs and patterns we carry around, are one of the biggest blocks to calling in the relationship we desire. Doing inner child work is the foundation for us to be our authentic selves.   Being our authentic selves and living in alignment with who we truly are is the shift that will bring in the kind of partner that is in the most perfect alignment with us.   Are you a woman who wants to call in an epic relationship? In the Fall of 2024, Christine and Stefanos are hosting another amazing Be the Queen program with live monthly coaching calls, group support, guided meditations, and breathwork.

Do you think that the way you are isn't going to get you what you want? Are you somebody who does things differently and thinks that you need to change to get what you want? Do you trust that you can receive what you want?   Lisa's Question: Lisa wants to be in a committed relationship but feels her life choices are keeping her from finding a partner.   Lisa's Key Insights and Ahas: She moved to a different city to leave a toxic relationship. She believed the universe had a plan when she met another person but it didn't work out. She is nomadic. She wants a committed relationship but struggles in partnership. She is sad and feels stuck. She has a scarcity mindset. She feels she is on a constant mission to find a partner. She is an introvert. She is not being authentic to who she is. In childhood, she had to perform to get affection. She doubts herself. She doesn't want a partner who is tied to one place. She enjoys being by herself.   How to Get Over It and On With It: Consider what her version of stability is. Lean into who she authentically is. Stop focusing on the void she feels. Start energetically bringing in her ideal partner.   Sponsor: Aquatru — purifies water using a four-stage reverse osmosis process.

This coaching call is about believing you can have what you want. Today's caller, Rebecca, grew up wondering if her mother's love was conditional. She asks for guidance on how to believe she can get what she wants without her life always being one way or the other. This episode will resonate with you if you fear being disappointed and believe you are limited in what you can have in your life.   [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode438].   It is important that we challenge our thinking and realize when we are in either/or, then eliminate it. There are often many more options than we think there are. A lot of it comes from growing up in fear-based environments. When we grow up when there is dysregulation, very little reassurance, or when adults are not leading the family, and inconsistent messaging, there is a desire for certainty and we have a limited view of our possibilities. It also happens when we grow up in a strict household, or highly intellectual household where there isn't a lot of room for creativity and imagination.   Do you engage in either/or thinking? Do you settle for something because you don't believe you can have what you want?   When we believe we can have what we want and we settle into those places, we don't have the fears that come with the limiting belief that we don't deserve it or are not capable of it in some way.   We don't need to be afraid of disappointment. Regret is way worse than risk. When we play it safe and we settle, we end up with regret.   Journey to Joy is a free three-day inner child workshop with Christine and Stefanos on February 6th ‒ 8th, 2024. Send an email to jill@christinehassler.com to get more information or go to ChristineHassler.com/joy to sign up.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Were you parentified as a child? Were there mixed messages in your home? Maybe, you felt loved but if you made a mistake, you doubted the love. Do you believe you can have what you want? Do you fear disappointment that you end up settling for things?   Rebecca's Question: Rebecca is bouncing between states of being when making life decisions.   Rebecca's Key Insights and Ahas: She is in survival mode when trying to make decisions. She feels low when she finally makes a decision. She is an emotionally sensitive person. She had to make sure her mother was doing well. Her mother was inconsistent about giving her love. She is in a relationship with someone who isn't clear about how he feels about her. She doesn't believe she can get what she wants. She dreads sharing her joy with her family. She has unprocessed anger and guilt. She wants to punish her family. She doesn't fully apply herself to any one thing. She puts herself last. She tries to avoid disappointment. She believes she is unlovable.   How to Get Over It and On With It: Take action while believing she can have everything she wants. Check in with herself several times a day to see what she wants. Being disappointed is okay. Challenge her either/or thinking.

This coaching call is about getting out of our heads and into our bodies. Today's caller, Ivy, had to suppress her natural inclinations as a child and she doesn't feel safe in her body. She asks Christine for guidance around releasing the blocks to get what she wants from life. This session is extremely helpful if you relate to being in your head, or cognitive, or thinking more than feeling your way through things.   [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode437].   As children, we internalize and amplify the voice and the messages of our parents and that is what becomes our inner voice, or inner critic. And, often, why we don't feel safe in our bodies because we left our bodies at a very young age due to not feeling safe. We didn't feel safe to be ourselves, and we didn't feel safe mentally or emotionally.   There are so many things we do to protect ourselves. And what often happens is we hurt ourselves more. But until we realize so much of what we're doing is protective patterning and until we find another way to “protect” ourselves, we keep doing the things that make us feel safe even if they aren't the healthiest things for us. It is so deeply healing to get into our body and communicate with our inner child.   Remember, working with a coach or therapist is great, but it can be helpful if the person you are working with has struggled with similar things you are struggling with.   Journey to Joy is a free three-day inner child workshop with Christine and Stefanos on February 6th ‒ 8th, 2024. Send an email to jill@christinehassler.com to get more information or go to ChristineHassler.com/joy to sign up.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Do you have trouble getting out of your head into your body? Have you been told to do somatic work or body-based practices but you just can't seem to do it? Do you have a fierce inner critic? Do you carry a lot of shame?   Ivy's Question: Ivy would like guidance on how to remove the blocks that are keeping her from taking action to get where she wants to be.   Ivy's Key Insights and Ahas: She is in therapy. She thinks she may have a block due to body shaming. She is unable to identify how she feels. She thinks she is emotionally unavailable. She finds it difficult to express her anger. She feels she is not worthy. She struggles with using her internal compass. She criticizes herself. She has inner child wounding. She would like to get out of her head. She was shamed for being emotionally expressive as a child. She doesn't feel safe in her body. She fears people will see her as messy and unlovable. She had to suppress herself as a child. She is committed to her healing.   How to Get Over It and On With It: Find her passionate parental voice. Know that she is worthy. Do inner child work. Possibly Journey to Joy. Find things that work for her, not just what she is told to do. Commit to loving herself and giving herself the childhood she didn't have.   Resources: Christine Hassler — Take a Coaching Assessment Christine Hassler Podcasts Including Coaches Corner Christine on Facebook Expectation Hangover, by Christine Hassler @ChristinHassler on Twitter @ChristineHassler on Instagram @SacredUnionCouples on Instagram Assist@ChristineHassler.com Jill@ChristineHassler.com — For information on any of my services Get on the Waitlist to be coached on the show.

This coaching call is about grief and guilt about past choices. Today's caller, Michelle, is doing her best to navigate through the guilt and shame she feels about a decision she made. This is a beautiful conversation that can be triggering for a lot of reasons. Please listen with an open heart, open mind, and compassion. We all can relate on some level to making decisions we regret, or are not proud of, or that we feel shame or guilt around.   [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode436].   With any choice, it is easier to look into the past from where we are now and evaluate the choice and wish we had done something differently. We have an amazing ability to judge and punish ourselves for a decision we made in the past. When truly we were making the best decision we could at the time.   If you have shame, guilt, or regret over a choice you made, how is that serving you? What is the guilt doing? How much longer do you want to punish yourself?  Eventually, we have to let the guilt go and get to forgiveness because unless you have a time machine there is no way to change it. The only thing we can do is move forward.   When a person, especially a mother, is taking care of their health and making decisions that are most in alignment with their truth, it benefits their child.   Journey to Joy is a free three-day inner child workshop with Christine and Stefanos on February 6th ‒ 8th, 2024. Send an email to jill@christinehassler.com to get more information or go to ChristineHassler.com/joy to sign up.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Have you made a choice that you have shame or guilt about? Are you trying to justify a decision you have made? Is there a part of you that doesn't feel safe and secure?  Can you get out of your head, your beliefs, or your judgments and allow your heart to open to feel what you need to feel?   Michelle's Question: Michelle is asking for guidance on how to release the grief she feels about terminating her pregnancy.   Michelle's Key Insights and Ahas: Michelle terminated her unexpected pregnancy last year. She felt she was abandoning her inner child. Her young-woman energy was not ready to have a child. She feels unworthy, unsafe, and insecure. She wants one day to step into motherhood but wants to release her grief first. She knows the pregnancy came into her life for a reason. She knows she made the best decision for her. She's been trying to connect with the soul because she didn't during her pregnancy. She was not ready to be a mother. She knows she is worthy but finds it difficult to embody it. She wants to let go of things that don't serve her.   How to Get Over It and On With It: Know that taking care of ourselves is the best thing for our children. It is time to deal with her inner child wound. Grieve without the story and the justification. Ask the child what it was there to teach her. Create safety and security for herself. Check out Byron Katie's “The Work.” She is worthy of love. Trust her decisions. Join the Journey to Joy inner child workshop. Prepare to consciously conceive with love.   Takeaways: Where are you not making self-honoring choices in the name of love?   Sponsor: Caraway Cookware — Caraway products are toxicity-free, beautiful, and easy to clean and use.

This coaching call is about removing blocks. Today's caller, Matt, has fears related to starting a new entrepreneurial business based on childhood wounding. Christine offers guidance about how he can release his self-protective mechanisms and fears of not being worthy of success.   [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode435].   There are life-changing repercussions from significant childhood events where we felt shame, were not seen, or were not loved for who we are. Those events can create conscious and subconscious blocks because deep down our inner child believes something is wrong with them.   Many of us don't get to where we want to go in life because we haven't healed the origin wound that is holding us back.   We can get critical of the ways we believe we are sabotaging ourselves. But in reality, we are not sabotaging ourselves, we are protecting ourselves. The next time you notice yourself procrastinating or making excuses, put your hand on your heart and remember that it is just a form of self-protection and that you are safe to express yourself because you are an adult now and you've got this.   Did you set goals for 2024?

Is there something you want to do, maybe a career you want to step into or a relationship you want to take to the next level but you're terrified? Do you fear rejection? Do you fear getting your heart broken, so much so that you don't go after the things you want?   Matt's Question: Matt has blocks around starting a video production business.   Matt's Key Insights and Ahas: He has a day job. He had an HIV diagnosis that changed his trajectory. He runs a support group for others with HIV. He fears that something will go wrong when he tries something new. He is in a two-year relationship. He has a block around planning for the future. He has childhood wounds around being who he is. He has a lot of awareness about his blocks. He's been incorporating inner child work into his life. He wants to get his website up and running but he is stalling and making excuses. He has time management concerns around starting a new business. He loves video editing and being creative. He acknowledges it is OK to have fears. He is ready to make a change.   How to Get Over It and On With It: Change his language when talking about his fears and protective patterns. Don't get frustrated with the protective part of his psyche. Completely accept himself for who he is. Know he is lovable.

This coaching call is about breaking the cycle of being in unhealthy relationships, specifically with emotionally unavailable or narcissistic people. Today's caller, Behnaz, feels guilty, exhausted, and angry when dealing with her family and longs for deeper connections. She asks Christine for guidance on how to break the cycle and release her anger.   [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode429].   We all have encountered someone with either narcissism or at least narcissistic tendencies, emotional unavailability, and gaslighting. It can be a frustrating and maddening place to be. It almost makes us feel crazy because we feel we are not being heard, we are not being seen, and it is frustrating.   Why empaths are so attracted to narcissists is because, on a subconscious level, we see that they don't have access to love. We can feel it. We think our love will somehow awaken the love in them but it just doesn't work that way. We just end up giving away our power, and our heart, and we end up collapsing our boundaries.   It can be hard when we are a loving person, and we have a pattern of engaging with people who are not in touch with the love inside themselves. It's exhausting.   If you know you have been gaslit before, be aware that you may either shut down completely and not talk at all or go into over-talking and over-explaining. It's not bad or wrong. It's just a natural reaction to being gaslit. Part of healing from being gaslit is finding our authentic self-expression, not coming from justification or defending, knowing exactly what we need to say and how much we need to say.   On some level, some of us do sign up to be generational pattern breakers. It's the only way the consciousness of the planet evolves.   Spring 2024 will bring a new 10-week, Live, Inner Child Program from Christine and Stefanos. More information is coming soon.   Christine wants to hear from you! She is considering making some changes to the show, and she wants your feedback. Go to ChristineHassler.com/survey to answer a few questions about the podcast, and if you include your name and email, you will be entered into a raffle to win a 30-minute coaching session with Christine.   Behnaz's Question: Behnaz's self-esteem is not where she wants it to be and she struggles to find her voice around narcissists. She wants guidance on how to release her anger and break the pattern.   Behnaz's Key Insights and Ahas: Adults gaslit her when she was a child. She holds back her thoughts around narcissists. She feels she has boundaries. She has internalized anger she is unable to express. She is exhausted. She speaks up for herself but is resentful when nothing changes. She tries to connect with emotionally unavailable people. She wanted a deeper connection with her parents. She yearns to love and connect with people. Her soul signed up to be a generational pattern breaker. She feels guilty about cutting off a relationship with her aunt. She is a joyful person. She is creating a family of friends. She feels alone.   How to Get Over It and On With It: Grieve the relationship she didn't have with her family. Accept that she chose her family to learn through contrast. Get in touch with her anger. Accept that she cannot change anyone. Know it is OK to step away from unhealthy relationships. Honor who she is and come into alignment with it.   Sponsor: Caraway Cookware — Caraway products are toxicity-free, beautiful, and easy to clean and use.
