Sometimes we tend to define ourselves by our relationship, without even realizing. It’s so essential to nurture ourselves, who we are, so that we can rise up on our own when necessary. Having a partner for support is an amazing thing, but we must also be able to feel that support from within.
Welcome to Lean In. A podcast that explores ordinary people’s extraordinary lives through honest storytelling. My guests share with me their journey of discovery, laughter, personal experiences and healing.
If you are going through a change or challenging period in life, Lean In is the space where we can surrender to the cycle together.
I recently got to sit down and chat with my friend and life coach extraordinaire, Christine Hassler. Christine is such a ray of light for so many people, and we had an enlightening conversation about the journey she went through after her divorce at 31 years old.
Christine is now in a happy, healthy marriage, but she spent the better part of her 30’s learning how to be ok on her own. She realized that she had been a bit distracted by her relationships in the past and was struggling with knowing who she was when she wasn’t doting on a partner.
Today, Christine leads seminars and workshops in front of audiences all around the world, which she says she owes in part to the self-discovery she did after going through the pain and heartbreak of dissolving a relationship.
In this episode of Lean In, Christine and I touch on universal issues we see within ourselves and so many women we’ve helped over the years. We talk about ways she’s gotten back in touch with the feminine energy we all have inside us and the changes that has brought to her life.
