Show Notes  My guest today, Christine Naman, offered me unusually candid insights in matters of addiction in younger adults and how they are not as “uncommon” a many think. Drugs are so available, so commonly used by young adults and so especially soothing to the bullied and unaccepted child. Although not limited to the unpopular kids. What Christine brings to us is a brutally honest assessment of the role of a caring parent often denial and even and enabler an addiction. This is no doubt this one of the most important interviews on the Next Chapter with Charlie. Be prepared. You will be educated by a bright and experienced parent of a child addict. Let's hear what Christine Naman, so graciously teaches us from the very depths of her very being.

084: Yoga for Scoliosis with Christine Jaureguiberry   Christine Jaureguiberry has niched down over the years as a yoga teacher. She now works mostly with individuals who have scoliosis. This is fueled by her own love of yoga. At the age of five, Christine was diagnosed with structural scoliosis. Her parents first put her in ballet. As she grew, she stayed active, but in her teen years, her pain started to increase.   Christine spent a lot of time visiting physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors. She wanted them to “fix” her, but instead found that the effects from the treatments wouldn't last long   After Christine's first yoga class (a Sivananda class in 2004), she noticed that she felt much better. Yoga made Christine feel better and she finally felt like she was in control of her own well-being.   It was after becoming a mother of two that Christine decided the timing was right to take her yoga teacher training.   Now Christine works mainly with individuals who are experiencing back pain, scoliosis or other back-related conditions. She loves to empower people so they can live pain-free. She teaches alignment and posture, bearing in mind the unique bodies and shapes.

How do you respond when “the worst thing” happens? You know what it is--that thing you’ve feared the most, but soon learned it was destined to be your “worst.” Today’s show is about making the choice to move forward with good and a flat-out refusal to let that worst moment define you, even though it forever changes you.  When Christine McAlister lost her first daughter, she realized she had a choice. She had the choice to hope to survive and keep doing what was comfortable and normal and what others expected of her, or to get over her fears and use the grief to create a legacy that mattered for her daughter and for herself. She chose the latter and her whole life changed for the better. She started a new, more aligned business, co-founded a non-profit with her husband, and rediscovered who she’d been as a child—her true self--someone who was ready to use her unique gifts to help others. This is a story of devastating loss and incredible triumph. Christine is a business and success coach and the author of The Income Replacement Formula: 7 Simple Steps To Doing What You Love & Making Six Figures From Anywhere. Her company, Life with Passion, helps high-achieving go-getters use their gifts to quit their 9-5’s by creating and growing online businesses from their passions. We talk about the difficult subject of losing a child and how that experience shaped Christine’s life. It’s a beautiful and moving story from which we can all learn to take our worst moments and turn them into something good.    More in this episode:   Christine’s lightbulb moment came at the full-term stillbirth of her first daughter, Maeve. The revelation was that she would figure out the next level in creating a legacy for her daughter After battling infertility and enduring three early miscarriages already, Christine was full of judgment and inner conflict about what motherhood would be like for her How she had difficulty getting pregnant and battled constant sickness and perinatal depression immediately Grief, guilt, and “degrees of loss” in this experience How Christine’s husband had to work through his personal grief and decide how to handle any feelings of blame he had toward his wife The best part of the loss was being surrounded by very supportive caregivers and getting connected to others who had gone through stillbirth 1 in 160 pregnancies ends in stillbirth, with very few of those even making it full-term The whirlwind of leaving the doctor’s office, going to the hospital, getting induced to give birth, and planning picture and funeral details--not at all what Christine planned for her birthing experience During the grief process, the idea for the non-profit The options that grief presents us with in moving forward, and what Christine chose Out of her loss grew a personality brand and a legacy to make sure Maeve would not be forgotten. “This is how I could parent her.” How Miles with Maeve provides coaching and support for athletes who want to reach an impossible goal Helping raise money for the four non-profits that were instrumental in helping them survive: Faith’s Lodge, Molly Bears, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, and Little Angel Gowns Christine’s rainbow baby, a second daughter, born 18 months after her first daugher (she is now 20 months old!) What Christine wants others to learn: “It all comes down to choice. Chuck Swindoll said, ‘I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react’. It’s what you choose to do with the worst thing that ever happens to you.”    Resources:   Website: lifewithpassion.com FB page: facebook.com/lifewpassion FB group: facebook.com/groups/lifewithpassionsociety Twitter: twitter.com/lifewpassion Insta: instagram.com/lifewpassion   Mentions:   Miles with Maeve: http://mileswithmaeve.org/   Faith’s Lodge: https://faithslodge.org/   Molly Bears: https://www.mollybears.org/   Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep: https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/   Little Angel Gowns: https://www.littleangelgowns.org/   The Grace Awakening by Charles R.

There are two giant ways we screw up our relationships. One is by breaking agreements. The other is by never having agreements to begin with.   Broken agreements can be great opportunities to open a dialogue with our partner about our needs, renegotiate our agreements if they no longer make sense, or even draw a hard boundary around what we will and won’t tolerate.   But what happens when we never have agreements to begin with? Expecting our partner to do, be and act a certain way without clearly communicating is a recipe for an almost certain 'sh*t hitting the fan’ fight.   In this conversation with Christine Hassler, we dive into the world of agreements, communication and what she calls ‘expectation hangovers’.   Make sure to listen carefully for the three ways that we fall prey to toxic (and easily preventable) expectations that can blow up in our faces when left unchecked - in our relationships and in our lives.

On this week’s episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Christine Gallagher joins me to talk about practical strategies for entrepreneurs to implement today! Speaker, trainer, bestselling author and award-winning business coach Christine Gallagher is founder of ShesGotClients.com, a company dedicated to teaching women around the globe how to find more meaning, fulfillment and purpose in their life through the power of entrepreneurship. In this episode, we discuss: -5 red flags that can tell you if you need to delegate -What Christine calls “Genius Work” and methods of discovering your strengths -How to develop and manage a team that compliments your business needs -Christine’s favorite project management tools -And so much more!   Entrepreneurial people often try to “do it all,” but a better strategy is to do what you are best at and delegate the rest. Christine advices, “Entrepreneurs who end up wearing all the hats start to feel like, ‘Well, even if I don’t know how to do this, it still needs to get done so I should do it.’ But if that keeps coming up, that's something you need to pay attention to… That's when you know that that needs to be delegated.”   Sometimes it can be easy for entrepreneurs to lose track of how much time they are putting into their work. Christine talks about exercises for entrepreneurs to rethink what they spend energy on and how they are compensated. She shares, “Think about what [you] are worth per hour doing [your] genius work. Genius work is what you love, what you’re extremely good at, what gives you energy instead of takes your energy away.”   As you develop your team, assessing strengths and assigning the right roles is key to getting the most value from each member. She stresses, “It really helps team members understand that they play an important role in the company and often because it's because of the strengths that they have.”   For more information on Christine: Speaker, trainer, bestselling author and award-winning business coach Christine Gallagher is founder of ShesGotClients.com, a company dedicated to teaching women around the globe how to find more meaning, fulfillment and purpose in their life through the power of entrepreneurship.
