My kid had a falling out with a very close friend- even I was a little shocked at what happened... I thought it would just blow over once they played like kids typically do. It didn't. He was still super angry every time their name was even brought up even way after it happened. OMG. I knew that feeling...I was stuck there for decades before healing, and it showed more often than I would like to admit. The PROCESS I wish someone would have taught me at my kid's age that I used to help my own inner child stop hating the world...

We usually think of trauma as the person who DID something harmful to us, right? Someone said something so wildly inappropriate to me at a family party...holyyyy... Craziest part? I wasn't mad at HIM, but there was someone else I was upset by...and this might be hiding in your past too... - How to know if you are TRULY healed or not - 2 REAL-LIFE ways to actually release emotions and integrate your shadow aspects (yes, even you friend)...

And we're BACKKKK...it's been a heck of time friend... My kid needed dental work done and was stuck on a waiting list for over a YEARRRR. I could not believe how the Universe was working to get us to where we really needed to be- it's hard to see because it feels so TERRIBLE... How surrendering into everything going "wrong" (especially with everything happening right NOW) is where it all starts going right.

My kid came running out of school crying…over his TEACHER. I have talked a ton about healing, accepting and working through issues with others (especially family!). This recent situation showed me there are times we SHOULDN'T... -What to look for that calls for a different “conscious” approach -HOW to present the issue to be truly heard and helped

We've all been there as parents- your kid is doing something out in public (or with judgmental family) and you want so desperately to make it stop... Usually I'm able to do "something" to at least help the situation, this day I wasn't. Being stuck (and unable to control), had this shadow screaming at me and it came out in a way that I didn't realize I was doing until now... What shame is REALLY about (which helped me feel different about it) Real-life ways to help you process and integrate this shadow so we stop beating ourselves up and dumping it on others.

Out of the mud comes the bloom... I ran into someone yesterday who I had an issue with 2 years ago (I even made a podcast episode about it then!). We had come a long way since. She was going through a really tough moment, and I was EXCITED for her!! Ummmm whattt?? Yep. The faster I have shifted to this (as hard as it was), the faster the good things came to me

"Dammit Christina how do you keep doing that??" A video showed up for me right on Divine time... How shame is connected to the things we say we don't want to do anymore or not doing the things we say we do want to do. And a real-life exercise to help release the programs that keep us stuck and feeling like s@#$.

If you ever walked on eggshells as a kid (umm hi!), almost killed yourself to be perfect (uh hi again!) and/or had to pretend you were ok when you really weren't (well s@#$)... this was probably never done for you growing up. It sounded "woo woo" to me when I first started healing, but I saw recently with my husband how awesome it is when you don't do this... - What "holding space" really means and why it's so important for any relationship especially parenting -A way to see if you are able to -Real-life ways to help you get there even with a trunk of trauma

I have a secret- I have gotten annoyed and even CRINGED at people being close and affectionate… WTH is that about?? (As my ego cringes admitting that…) A recent (awesomely terrible!) moment shown light on some shadows I was apparently trying to dodge. -How this shows up from childhood wounds -Real ways to find and work with our shadow so we stop doing unhealed bs

Always a good time trying to parent differently in front of others (especially family!) My kid refused to share recently and I ALLOWED it... (enter judgement and discomfort) -The surprising move even I was shocked I made to change how it was received -How for many of us, it runs much deeper than it seems connecting to childhood conditioning and traumas -Why and how to help your child AND your inner child when it comes to boundaries and WANTING to share

A Divinely ridiculous amount of stuff went "wrong" recently while traveling alone with my kid- super fun! I could never have imagined how it turned out... How "surrendering" is MORE than just accepting what happened - the missing piece that allowed me to REALLY surrender and allow the Universe/Higher Self to work it out FOR me

We always think of triggers coming from how we were punished/mistreated/abused...our inner child remembering and acting out. This wasn't the case for a recent event... Especially if you are Gen-X or Millennial: The surprising way everyday events our caregivers SHOULD HAVE stepped in with growing up can cause us to react NOW. -How to take apart what happened to pinpoint shadow and inner child work -How to process an unhealed reaction with yourself and others

My husband said one (very innocent!) word that made me lose my mind recently, and I figured out what it was really about... Here's the craziest part- I had done an ENTIRE EPISODE on this before and I STILL missed this! If you are healing and trying to change and do new things-this trauma response will try to wreck the things you say you want to do... -Real life ways this shows up -Surprising reason it is a GREAT thing!? -How to reframe and get yourself out of the pattern that stops us from progressing

"Mommy look!" "Mommy play with me!" "MOMMYYY!"... My recent overwhelm had me so triggered that I knew there was more to it...and I was SHOCKED to finally figure out why... So many of us did not get what we needed physically and/or emotionally growing up. The wounds either has some of us doing the same, orrrr has us overcompensating and constantly pouring from an empty cup being "everything we needed"... The childhood shadow that many of us are carrying that is triggering us when we simply can't do it all... What to do for your inner child as well as teaching "Spoon Theory" to yourself and your kid so they don't own what others do/don't do like I did.

My kid runs up to me crying that he was told "he couldn't play" by another kid... My ego was feeling pressure to defend and "fix" it for him, my healed heart felt differently and to be honest, I hated both answers! We took a route that I definitely never got as a kid, and I could not believe how awesome it turned out...

I noticed my husband being “slightly irritated” with our kid (AND me!) recently, and it didn't make sense to me… One question at an ice cream parlor finally unlocked how much deeper it was than it seemed. Real-life ways to spot a shadow in yourself and others How to "integrate" and embrace your shadow The missing piece of healing that many of us miss once we discover our shadows

I was feeling "crazy"...EVERYTHING was getting on my last nerve... After all the healing I had done, wth was going on here?? The connection of our hormones to healing and consciousness that I wish someone would have told me about... Major things to look out for and DO that NO ONE talks about...

The struggle of getting out the damn door is real. We are all in this constant state of rushing to get to somewhere, to get something done, to get...out of our present. -The core reason that I was SHOCKED to find out -How to know it is happening to YOU -Real-life ways to get out of this stressful loop and live more mindfully

Oh damn... There was a situation recently that I "thought" I had a handle on. I've done a bunch of healing work; I know what to do! I was wrong. Our ego can "trick" us into missing the main piece of TRUE healing... How to know if you are THINKING or actually FEELING your emotions Why FEELING is different and crucial Real-life ways to help you get there especially if you've been taught to stuff your emotions down (like me!)

I thought I had worked on my control issues from trauma but then I got sick, really sick. There were some loose ends that didn't make it into my awareness until I literally couldn't do the things I liked to control! Surprising real-life ways control shows up (one I had no idea I was doing too) The major childhood wound it is attached to and how to re-process it to break the pattern of NEEDING to control...
