42: How Expectation Hangovers are Costing You Wealth with Christine Hassler

Christine Hassler – Episode 42 – How Expectation Hangovers Are Costing You Wealth

Today's guest, Christine Hassler, is one of the wisest people I've had on my show to date and I know you're going to learn a lot from her stories and experiences, too.

As a child, Christine always felt as though she didn't belong. Growing up with some health problems, she was always seen as different and wasn't well liked. As difficult as this was to cope with, Christine compensated for it all by focusing on being smart (an overachiever if you will) so she could be super successful. While this tactic worked for a long time, it still never eliminated the feeling that she had something to prove. So after graduating college (double major and a minor in 3.5 years), she went where a lot of people go to do just that – Hollywood. Christine didn't want to be an actor, but she did end up being an agent.

Christine's life, from the outside, was amazing – a six-figure career, a successful boyfriend, parties with celebrities etc. – but inside she was miserable and suffering from anxiety and depression. Then with the encouragement of a friend, she met a therapist who loved her unconditionally and for the first time in her life, looked at her with zero judgment. It changed her world. After seeing this therapist for some time, Christine left her successful career to pursue other passions. While at the time this seemed like an easy thing to do, it was anything but, and after multiple setbacks (boyfriend dumped her, diagnosed with an auto immune disorder, massive debt etc.), she still didn't know what to do with her life.

Throughout this time of struggle, Christine had to seek what it was she truly wanted and she discovered that it was to serve and share her experiences with others. So, she decided to write a book about her own challenges and experiences and getting through them. And that's when her first book, Expectation Hangover was born. Christine has since published several other books and now coaches individuals and hosts multiple courses.

This is the perfect episode for those who are feeling lost and looking for answers or trying to cope with disappointment and unexpected life events. I know I personally had a few mind-blowing a-ha moments throughout our talk and would love to hear if you had any moments of clarity, too.
