Kate offers maternal mental health and wellness support to women both nationally and internationally through coaching and consultancy. Her aim is to empower women to feel confident, well-supported, and reassured about both their own and their children's well-being so they can raise healthy children while also serving their communities outside of motherhood.

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.   Special Invitation: The Love Magnet Workshop If you’re looking to attract love into your life, join Christine for her free three-day workshop, Love Magnet, happening February 11-13 at 2 PM Pacific.

In this heartfelt and insightful episode, Christine Hassler coaches Julie through the challenges of navigating life’s "in-between" phases. Julie opens up about being in a transitional period, torn between trusting the natural flow of life and taking control to make things happen. This episode explores the delicate balance of surrender and action, and the deep fears and patterns that arise when we’re on the brink of transformation. 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. Together, they dive into Julie’s duality of being a grounded doer and a deeply spiritual being, providing insights on how to integrate these parts of herself to move forward with trust and healing. This coaching session is a powerful reminder that embracing uncertainty and facing our fears can lead to profound growth, and the ability to welcome love and connection into our lives. Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you in an in-between phase, feeling torn between trusting the process and taking control? Do you struggle with the fear of losing love or experiencing vulnerability? Are past traumas or unresolved grief impacting your ability to fully embrace the present? What steps can you take to regulate your nervous system and allow love and trust to flow? Key Insights and A-HAs: Life’s transitions often bring up subconscious fears and protective patterns. True surrender and trust involve releasing attachment to specific outcomes and opening to possibilities. Grief and trauma, when unaddressed, can create blocks to receiving love and connection. Learning to regulate your nervous system and embody trust is key to welcoming new opportunities. How to Get Over It & On With It: Recognize and release unresolved grief or trauma through somatic or emotional healing practices. Practice nervous system regulation techniques, such as compassionate self-talk and mindfulness. Visualize and embody the feelings you desire in your future relationships. Create space for love by embracing vulnerability and letting go of hyper-vigilance.

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.   Special Invitation: March 2025 Retreat – From Wounds to Wisdom Join Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos for a life-changing retreat, From Wounds to Wisdom, taking place at the Art of Living Retreat Center from March 28–30, 2025.

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.   Special Invitation: March 2025 Retreat – From Wounds to Wisdom Join Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos for a life-changing retreat, From Wounds to Wisdom, taking place at the Art of Living Retreat Center from March 28–30, 2025.

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.   Special Invitation: March 2025 Retreat – From Wounds to Wisdom Join Christine Hassler and Stefanos Sifandos for a life-changing retreat, From Wounds to Wisdom, taking place at the Art of Living Retreat Center from March 28–30, 2025.
