In this insightful coaching session, Christine Hassler helps Venus navigate deep emotional wounds related to past relationships. Venus struggles with feelings of being replaced and not being chosen, which stem from childhood neglect, abuse, and enmeshment. She finds herself caught in patterns of comparison and pain over an ex possibly moving on with someone else. Together, Christine and Venus unpack these core wounds, working toward reclaiming empowerment, self-worth, and emotional sovereignty.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck in the past, struggled with self-worth after a breakup, or wants to heal old relationship wounds at the root level.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Are you still emotionally attached to an ex, even though you know you were incompatible?
• Do you struggle with feelings of being replaced or not chosen?
• Have childhood wounds influenced your relationships, making love feel like dependency or codependency?
• Are you trying to “pray away” pain instead of working through it?
• How can you shift from a fear-based desire for validation to true self-empowerment?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• The pain of feeling replaced often stems from deeper childhood wounds of neglect or not being chosen.
• Healing is a process that requires presence, patience, and self-compassion—there’s no quick fix.
• Breaking patterns of comparison and self-judgment is crucial for self-empowerment.
• Taking up space, moving energy through the body, and developing personal sovereignty help break cycles of emotional pain.
• The shift from being disempowered to reclaiming choice is the core of deep healing.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Recognize disempowering thought patterns and actively redirect them.
• Use empowering language—instead of asking, “Why did this happen to me?” reframe it as, “What am I choosing at this moment?”
• Engage in movement and expression—dance, sing, walk, or scream into a pillow to release stored emotional energy.
• Practice self-acknowledgement—celebrate progress rather than focusing on how far you still need to go.
• Trust the process—deep healing doesn’t happen overnight, but consistent efforts make a lasting impact.

In this week’s episode, Christine Hassler revisits the very first episode of Over It and On With It, taking us back to where it all began. As we move through a new moon in Pisces, a time of fresh starts, Christine invites us to reflect on our own new beginnings. She shares her journey of launching this podcast despite doubts and external discouragement, offering a powerful reminder to trust our intuition—even when things don’t make sense on the surface.

Whether you're embarking on something new, re-evaluating your values during this Venus retrograde, or simply looking for inspiration to take that next step, this episode will remind you of the courage it takes to begin again. Christine also reflects on the deeper process of reprogramming our beliefs, navigating fear, and aligning with our truth.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Are you on the brink of a fresh start but feeling hesitant?
• Have you ever ignored your intuition because of fear or external doubts?
• Do you struggle with letting go of old expectations in order to create something new?
• Are you craving more clarity about what truly matters to you?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• New beginnings often come with doubt, but trusting yourself is key.
• External discouragement doesn’t mean your idea isn’t valid—it just means it’s different.
• Reprogramming your mindset can be challenging, but it’s necessary for transformation.
• True alignment happens when we clear out fear-based decisions and follow what feels right.
• Growth isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about taking the next step in faith.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Reflect on where you’re being called to start fresh, even if it doesn’t make perfect sense.
• Identify areas where fear or external opinions are holding you back.
• Give yourself permission to re-evaluate your values and what truly drives you.
• Embrace the discomfort of growth—sometimes the hardest part is just taking that first step.
• Surround yourself with supportive voices that remind you of your power and potential.

In this episode Christine dives into how the belonging wound happens and why it feels so big and hard to overcome. If you ever feel alone, left out, not included, or separate, this episode is for you. Learn how you can work with this wound and start creating the connections that you want and need. 

This coaching call is about feeling out of control when being in control is how we have compensated for not getting what we needed as children. Today’s caller, Cato, is pregnant and her lack of control is creating panic. She asks Christine for guidance on how to be okay with the changes in her life and her fear of feeling insignificant.

As children, we need to belong. We need love. And we need to feel safe. So, whatever we need to do and whoever we need to become to get those things, we do. The need for significance comes from not feeling enough as a child, not feeling significant just for who we are. So as an adult, we are constantly looking for people to see us, love us, and tell us how wonderful we are because that need was not fulfilled in childhood. Either we weren’t told we were good or we only were told we were good when we did something “good.”

Something important for people to talk about is that — Yes, having a baby is blissful and magical AND it can be really hard at times. There are times when the hard times are more than the amazing times and that’s okay. It is an identity death like no other and there’s no way around that.

The more we resist it and try to hang on to who we were or to keep that version of us, the more we are going to bump up against resistance. Because when we get pregnant and when we give birth, the old version of us dies and the maiden becomes the mother. We have to find our new identity at the same time that we are learning to care for another human being. It’s a lot.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Do you like control? Does it make you feel calm and safe?
• Do you consider yourself a capable, on-top-of-it person but something has completely thrown you off your game?
• Do you fear not being relevant or not being significant?
• Do you know how to receive, or do you believe that you must do to receive and be relevant?

Cato’s Question:

Cato fears that her pregnancy will make her irrelevant and insignificant. She is asking for guidance on how to be okay with herself and what is happening.

Cato’s Key Insights and Ahas:

• She is excited about her pregnancy.
• Her pregnancy is forcing her to slow down.
• She signed up for Elementum Coaching Institute.
• Her pregnancy is bringing up depression and feelings of a lack of control.
• She is experiencing intense emotions and is unsure of herself for the first time.
• She realizes she has been using control to create safety.
• She fears slowing down and not being relevant or significant.
• Her inner child carries sadness and anger toward her father.
• She is unsure if she is worthy of raising her child.
• She is embodying receptivity.
• She feels closer to her womb and her heart.
• She has always kept busy to distract herself from her feelings.
• When she slows down, she feels restless.
• She finds purpose and meaning in her work.

How to Get Over It and On With It:

• Welcome the new feelings she is having.
• Listen to this episode when it airs.
• Embody what it feels like to be in her feminine.
• Be curious about her restlessness.
• Savor her pregnancy.

Today on CC we talk about something that completely shifted my perspective on health and fitness. For years, we’ve been told that the goal is to lose weight—shrink down, take up less space. But the truth is, focusing on the scale might be the biggest mistake when it comes to long-term health and strength.

What really matters isn’t weight—it’s body composition. It’s about having more muscle and less excess fat because that’s what keeps you strong, energized, and capable as you age.

My friend Holly Perkins has been helping women transform their bodies and health for 30 years, and she’s hosting a free three-day workshop called Mastering Your Body Composition. It’s all about shifting the focus from weight loss to building the kind of body that supports you for life.

If you’ve been frustrated with the usual fitness advice and want real, lasting results, I highly recommend this. The workshop starts on March 6th, and it’s free to join. You can grab your spot at hollyperkins.com/christine

In this week’s coaching session, Christine Hassler works with Yasmin, who is struggling with self-doubt when it comes to making life decisions. She questions whether she made the right choice in ending a long-term relationship and in reducing her work hours to pursue her art business. Christine helps her recognize patterns of over-personalization, self-blame, and the need for external validation, guiding her toward self-trust and clarity.

This episode isn’t just about relationships or career—it’s about learning to trust yourself and your decisions. Christine provides Yasmin with tangible ways to move forward with confidence, helping her step out of regret and into alignment with her true desires.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Do you often doubt your choices and later regret them?
• Are you afraid that the things you truly want won’t happen?
• Do you constantly search for external validation before feeling secure in a decision?
• Are you stuck between moving forward and holding onto the past?
• Do you make choices based on what feels familiar rather than what’s truly aligned?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Self-trust is essential—without it, fear and doubt take over, making decisions more difficult.
• Over-personalizing situations, such as a partner’s actions after a breakup, can create unnecessary emotional weight.
• When we regret past choices, we often idealize the past and forget why we made those decisions in the first place.
• Healing and growth require stepping into new territory instead of clinging to familiar patterns.
• Success in career or relationships comes from embodying confidence, not waiting for external proof.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Identify your inner dialogue and challenge the stories you tell yourself about regret and self-worth.
• Shift from fear-based decision-making to trust-based choices by recognizing what aligns with your long-term vision.
• Take action despite uncertainty—trust that the right opportunities will emerge when you fully commit.
• Engage in daily practices that reinforce confidence, such as journaling about past decisions and affirming your own wisdom.
• Stop looking for guarantees—life doesn’t provide them, but trust and discernment can guide you to the best outcome.

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.

In this heartfelt coaching session, Christine Hassler guides Morgan through an emotional crossroads: deciding whether to have another child. While Morgan has always envisioned a big family, fear stemming from a traumatic birth experience, postpartum depression, and complex family dynamics with her stepchildren has left her feeling uncertain.

This episode isn’t just about parenthood—it’s about the power of making choices from faith rather than fear. Christine helps Morgan shift from fear-based decision-making to a place of trust and possibility, offering insights that apply to anyone struggling with a big life decision.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Are you facing a big decision but feel paralyzed by fear?
• Do past traumas or difficult experiences influence your choices for the future?
• Are you struggling with control and wanting certainty before making a move?
• Do you tend to focus on the worst-case scenario instead of what’s truly possible?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Fear-based decision-making limits our ability to embrace possibility and growth.
• Our past does not have to dictate our future—we can learn from it instead of reliving it.
• True empowerment comes from trusting that no matter what, we will be okay.
• The need for control often stems from deeper fears, such as avoiding past pain or protecting loved ones.
• Building a strong support system can help ease anxiety around major life transitions.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Reframe your decision-making process by focusing on faith and trust rather than fear.
• Acknowledge that uncertainty is a natural part of life and doesn’t mean disaster.
• Build a solid support system (mentors, therapists, partners) to help guide you through transitions.
• Recognize that sometimes the answer is “I don’t know yet,” and that’s okay.
• Approach decisions from a place of curiosity, possibility, and inner wisdom rather than fear-based projections.

Christine compassionately helps Julie unpack the subconscious blocks that come from past traumas, including a sudden divorce and a harrowing school shooting her daughter experienced.

In this heartfelt and transformative episode, Christine Hassler coaches Aubrea, who opens up about facing significant life challenges all at once. Aubrea shares her journey of navigating a job loss, the end of a long-term relationship, fertility struggles, and the passing of her last grandparent—all within a short period. These events have left her feeling untethered and engulfed by grief and anger.

Christine compassionately guides Aubrea through the concept of an "expectation hangover," exploring how life’s curveballs can be opportunities for deeper healing and growth. Together, they unpack the roots of Aubrea's prolonged anger, her relationship with it, and the role it plays in her journey toward self-discovery and emotional release.

This coaching call is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is potential for transformation. Christine provides practical tools and spiritual insights to help Aubrea—and listeners—embrace their pain, release limiting beliefs, and move toward a more empowered and aligned life.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Are you experiencing an expectation hangover—where things haven’t gone as planned, or life has hit you with a massive curveball?
• Are you holding onto anger or grief that feels overwhelming or unfamiliar?
• Do you struggle to find meaning or purpose during challenging times?
• Are you ready to explore the deeper healing opportunities hidden within your struggles?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Life’s unexpected challenges often create space for deeper healing and alignment with our soul’s evolution.
• Anger and grief, when acknowledged and expressed, can be catalysts for transformation and emotional release.
• Subconscious patterns often draw us into experiences that mirror unresolved childhood wounds, offering an opportunity to heal and grow.
• Finding meaning in the midst of chaos can provide a sense of peace and direction, but it requires patience and self-compassion.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Allow yourself to fully feel your emotions, including anger and rage, without judgment or blame.
• Explore the role that childhood patterns or relationships may play in current struggles, while avoiding self-blame.
• Create a sense of certainty by focusing on small, grounding practices and routines in your daily life.
• Trust that even the most painful experiences have a purpose in your growth and evolution.

In this transformative episode, Christine Hassler coaches Stacey, who opens up about living with misophonia, a neurological condition that causes extreme sensitivity to certain sounds, triggering fight-or-flight responses. Stacey shares how this condition has impacted her relationships, including her family and romantic connections, leaving her feeling isolated and doubtful about her ability to maintain long-term intimacy.

Christine compassionately guides Stacey to explore the interplay between her condition, beliefs about herself, and fears around relationships. Together, they delve into the deeper layers of guilt, shame, and self-worth that have influenced Stacey's ability to open herself to love and connection.

This heartfelt coaching call is a powerful reminder that while we all have challenges, they do not define our worthiness or capacity for relationships. Christine offers practical insights and tools to help Stacey and listeners embrace hope, reframe their beliefs, and find empowering ways to move forward.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Do you feel like a diagnosis or past experience has become a barrier to forming or maintaining relationships?
• Are you carrying guilt or shame over how your challenges have affected others?
• Do you feel stuck in a pattern of self-protection that limits your ability to experience intimacy?
• Are you ready to explore new perspectives and approaches to shift your mindset and open to new possibilities?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Our challenges, no matter how overwhelming, do not make us unworthy of love or connection.
• Beliefs about ourselves and our perceived "flaws" often become self-fulfilling prophecies, but they can be shifted.
• Neurodivergent conditions, like misophonia, can be addressed with a combination of self-compassion, rewiring techniques, and relational support.
• Everyone brings challenges into relationships—it's about how we work through them together.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Explore resources like Dr. Robert Melillo's work on brain balance, and rewiring techniques for neurological conditions.
• Focus on the gifts and strengths you bring to relationships, rather than fixating on challenges.
• Practice belief work, such as Byron Katie’s “The Work,” to shift limiting narratives and open yourself to new possibilities.
• Consider joining a supportive program or retreat to broaden your perspective and strengthen your inner resources.

In this episode, I review the 9 themes of 2025 that came through for our community. I go into detail of each one and offer tips on how to leverage the energy of each theme. I'd love for you to take a screenshot of the list below and post on IG which ones resonate most with you. Happy New Year! 

In this insightful episode, Christine coaches Alecks, who is navigating the fine line between self-care and selfishness. Alecks shares her struggles with balancing her own needs and feelings of guilt when caring for her family, particularly her mother. Together, they dive deep into inner child work, exploring how unresolved childhood wounds and patterns of self-abandonment can manifest in adult relationships and personal choices.

Christine guides Alecks to connect with her inner child, offering tools to repair the sense of abandonment and foster a secure attachment within herself. This heartfelt conversation sheds light on how we can honor our own needs while still showing compassion for others, ultimately empowering us to make choices rooted in love rather than guilt.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Do you often feel guilty for taking time for yourself or prioritizing your own needs?
• Are you unclear about the difference between self-care and being selfish?
• Do you struggle with feelings of abandonment or guilt when dealing with family obligations?
• Are you ready to strengthen the relationship with your inner child and break old patterns?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Inner child work is an ongoing process that fosters healing and connection.
• Guilt often stems from unresolved childhood patterns of self-silencing and overcompensation.
• True self-care involves choosing from a place of love, not guilt or obligation.
• Repairing the relationship with your inner child can reduce feelings of abandonment and foster inner peace.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Check in with your inner child regularly to understand their needs and feelings.
• Practice secure attachment techniques, such as clear communication and creating agreements.
• Reflect on where you might be operating out of guilt or obligation instead of authentic care.
• Take actionable steps to balance family responsibilities with your own well-being.

In this heartfelt episode, Christine coaches Marie, who is navigating transitions in both her career and personal life. As Marie opens up about feelings of inadequacy and fear stemming from her childhood, Christine helps her uncover the deeper roots of her lack of confidence and offers powerful tools for healing. Together, they explore how childhood wounds manifest in adult relationships and career dynamics, and how embracing vulnerability can lead to greater self-worth and confidence.

If you’ve ever felt held back by old patterns or struggled with confidence in relationships or at work, this episode will provide clarity, hope, and actionable insights for your journey.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Do you struggle with speaking up for yourself or setting boundaries at work or in relationships?
• Are there moments from your childhood that might still be influencing your confidence today?
• Do you find that a lack of confidence in one area of your life impacts other areas?
• Are you ready to uncover and heal old wounds to step into your full potential?

Key Insights and A-HA’s:

• Childhood wounds, like parental separation or taking on a caregiver role too early, can create patterns of self-silencing and people-pleasing.
• A lack of confidence often stems from not being allowed to express emotions or needs as a child.
• Healing involves doing for yourself now what you couldn’t do as a child, such as using your voice and setting boundaries.
• Confidence grows through radical self-acceptance and addressing unmet needs with compassion and clarity.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Reflect on how past wounds are showing up in your current relationships and career.
• Allow yourself to express repressed emotions, like anger, in healthy, somatic ways.
• Practice asserting your needs and opinions in situations where you typically remain silent.
• Use moments of discomfort as opportunities to break free from old patterns and embrace growth.

In this powerful episode, Christine coaches Laura, who is wrestling with resentment and uncertainty after making a big decision for her relationship. Through a deeply honest conversation, they explore the roots of Laura’s feelings—how past childhood experiences influence current dynamics—and discover the healing opportunities that can emerge from leaning into love.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about a choice, especially one made for someone else, this episode will inspire you to trust your journey, release old patterns, and step into growth.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Have you made a decision that you now doubt or feel resentment about?
• Do you feel like you’re sacrificing your needs for someone else’s?
• Are your relationships triggering patterns from your childhood?
• Do you run from healthy situations because of fear or a desire to retreat to your comfort zone?

Key Insights and A-Ha’s:

• Past childhood experiences, especially enmeshment and codependency, can shape how we respond to adult relationships.
• Healthy love can feel uncomfortable when it triggers old protective patterns, such as pushing intimacy away.
• Leaning into love requires trust, vulnerability, and addressing what your inner child needs to feel safe.
• Gratitude and clarity about what you need now can help shift feelings of sacrifice into empowerment and growth.

How to Get Over It & On With It:

• Recognize where you may be projecting old wounds onto current relationships.
• Allow yourself to feel and release anger or resentment in healthy, somatic ways.
• Identify what you need to feel secure, free, and supported in your relationships.
• Reframe your decision as an opportunity for healing and relational growth.
