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.Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by AquaTru, the revolutionary water purification system that ensures your drinking water is clean, safe, and free of harmful contaminants.

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.Sponsor:

Christine helps Valentina explore her feelings, confront patterns of compliance and codependency, and move toward clarity and empowerment. Together, they unpack the importance of honoring one’s truth, and voice in relationships and in life.
Consider/Ask Yourself:
Do you find yourself putting others' needs before your own in relationships? Are you afraid to speak your truth, fearing it might lead to conflict or rejection? Have you noticed patterns in your relationships that reflect your childhood experiences? Are you currently in a situation that feels like a compromise of your authentic self?The Guest's Key Insights & A-HA's:

In this transformative coaching session, Christine guides Sarah, a 39-year-old single woman, through releasing guilt, healing her self-worth, and letting go of codependent patterns in relationships. Sarah shares the profound guilt she feels after leaving an abusive marriage, particularly since her ex-husband later passed away. Struggling with feelings of responsibility, she’s found herself repeating self-sacrificing patterns and attracting emotionally unavailable partners. Christine helps Sarah uncover how her childhood experiences of emotional neglect and caretaking shaped her beliefs about love and self-worth.
As they delve deeper, Sarah realizes that her guilt and sense of responsibility are rooted in early family dynamics, where she learned to prioritize others’ needs over her own. Christine encourages her to reconnect with her inner “adult self”—a wise, grounded voice within her that initially gave her the strength to leave her toxic marriage. This part of Sarah is key to rebuilding her confidence, trusting her instincts, and setting healthy boundaries.
The conversation highlights how our subconscious often seeks familiar relationship dynamics from childhood, making it challenging to break-free from harmful cycles. For Sarah, Christine suggests focusing on cultivating self-worth by reframing her inner dialogue and practicing self-care over dating. By pausing romantic pursuits, Sarah can create the inner stability needed to attract healthier connections, and leave behind codependent tendencies.
Consider/Ask Yourself:
Have you been drawn to relationships where your needs are ignored or undervalued? Do you struggle with guilt when setting boundaries or prioritizing self-care? Are you holding yourself responsible for something that was never truly in your control?The Guest’s Key Insights & A-HA’s:
Sarah realizes she has been unconsciously choosing emotionally unavailable partners, mirroring her unmet needs from childhood. She understands that her lingering guilt about leaving her ex-husband has fueled codependent behaviors. Her “adult Sarah” voice, which led her to leave her marriage, is an essential inner resource she can rely on. Sarah sees how the part of her focused-on guilt, and self-punishment needs to make way for self-love and healing.How to Get Over It and On With It:
Prioritize Self-Worth: Reframe your self-image by focusing on your worth outside of relationship dynamics. Reconnect with Your Inner Child: Address the needs of your inner child and give yourself permission to release old survival strategies. Focus on Self-Growth: Take dating off the table temporarily to focus on self-healing practices. Seek Healthy Relational Dynamics: Cultivate relationships where you feel seen, safe, and appreciated rather than diminished.Sponsor:

In this episode of "Over It and On With It," Christine Hassler coaches Ariana, who struggles with guilt related to her relationship with her mother and aunt. Ariana grew up in an emotionally challenging environment with caregivers who struggled with alcohol dependency. As an adult, she experiences guilt around maintaining boundaries, especially as her mother and aunt react negatively to her attempts to stand up for herself. Christine helps Ariana understand that her guilt is tied to deep-rooted patterns from her childhood and supports her in releasing feelings that no longer serve her well-being.
Through their conversation, Christine guides Ariana to recognize that she’s breaking a generational pattern. She encourages Ariana to focus on the family she’s building, rather than being consumed by the dynamics she grew up with. This episode explores healing, setting boundaries, and the journey toward liberation from generational patterns.
Consider/Ask Yourself:
Do you feel guilty when you set boundaries, especially with family members? Have you ever felt responsible for the emotional well-being of a parent? Are you at a point in your life where you’re ready to break free from family patterns that no longer serve you? Do you struggle with guilt about prioritizing your own well-being?The Guest's Key Insights & A-HA's:
Ariana’s guilt stems from a desire to feel like a “good daughter,” even at the cost of her own peace. Christine highlights that Ariana’s guilt is unproductive and rooted in her past survival mechanisms. By releasing guilt and setting clear boundaries, Ariana can create a healthier, more peaceful life for herself and her future family. The session emphasizes the importance of breaking generational patterns, and choosing to prioritize one’s own emotional well-being.How to Get Over It & On With It:
Reflect on whether your guilt serves a productive purpose or if it’s keeping you tied to unhelpful dynamics. Practice boundary-setting with compassion, knowing that prioritizing yourself is not selfish. Consider what kind of family environment you want to create and work toward it, regardless of past experiences. Release attachment to controlling others’ emotions or well-being, focusing instead on your own growth.Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by AquaTru.

In this episode of Over It and On With It, Christine coaches Gloria, who grapples with balancing anxiety and confidence. Gloria's core wound stems from childhood abandonment, which causes her to feel unsafe in expressing herself fully, especially in public settings. Although she has a supportive partner and is pursuing trauma-informed coaching, her fears of rejection and failure in her new career keep resurfacing. Christine helps Gloria navigate her anxiety and step into her confidence by guiding her to detach from the narrative she tells herself about being "too much."
Consider/Ask Yourself:
Do you struggle with balancing anxiety and confidence in your personal or professional life? Is your core wound rooted in abandonment or rejection, making you feel unsafe in being your authentic self? Do you talk yourself out of pursuing something because of fear of rejection or failure? How do you react to feedback or criticism? Do you internalize it or use it as a learning tool? Are you ready to step out of your story and into your authentic power?Gloria’s Key Insights & Aha Moments:
Gloria recognizes that her fear of rejection ties back to childhood wounds of feeling abandoned and "too much." She acknowledges that despite her current partner being emotionally supportive, her fear of public speaking and judgment continues to manifest. Christine helps Gloria realize that her story of always being in "fight or flight" is not her reality, and she has made more progress than she gives herself credit for. By shifting focus from her fear to her strengths, Gloria can step into confidence.How to Get Over It & On with It:
Practice emotional grounding and self-affirmation to challenge the narrative of being too much or too anxious. Use movement or expressive outlets like dancing to release anxiety and reconnect with your true essence. Reframe nervousness or anxiety as a natural response to stepping outside of your comfort zone, not as a sign of incapability. Trust that confidence grows through action, even when you feel nervous—courage is built by doing the hard thing.Sponsor:

Bestselling author and TEDx speaker and coach Ashley Stahl joins me to discuss the nine different ways to tell a story. This is useful for anyone regardless of your profession because story telling is a way that connects us all.

After doing two TEDx talks and seeing both of them go viral, Ashley has learned that TEDx is the super highway to launching and scaling your personal brand, whether you want to amplify your authority, leave a legacy or create exponential opportunities for yourself.

In this episode of Over It and On With It, Christine Hassler speaks with Hyesha, who seeks advice on managing her empathic tendencies, especially the overwhelming emotions she feels when witnessing suffering. Christine helps Hyesha navigate the delicate balance between feeling deeply and maintaining emotional boundaries, particularly when her empathic abilities make her overly sensitive to the pain of others.
Hyesha opens up about her experiences of being triggered by everyday situations involving children or animals, which leads her into "worst-case-scenario" thinking. Christine assists Hyesha in understanding how her heightened sensitivity stems from unhealed childhood wounds and limiting beliefs. Through this powerful coaching session, Hyesha learns practical ways to embrace her empathic gifts without being consumed by them.
Christine emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between empathy and sympathy, encouraging Hyesha to hold space for others' suffering without taking it on herself. She also guides Hyesha in recognizing her own triggers and using them as opportunities for self-compassion and healing.
Consider/Ask Yourself:
Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by others' emotions, to the point that it drains you? Are you an empath who struggles to maintain boundaries between your feelings and those of others? How do you respond when you're triggered by the suffering of children, animals, or even people on the news? Can you hold space for others' emotions without going into "rescue mode" or becoming emotionally paralyzed?Hyesha's Key Insights & A-HA's:
Hyesha shares how hearing a child or animal cry often triggers a response that doesn't match the reality of the situation, rooted in past trauma. Christine helps Hyesha identify the emotional patterns that cause her to react so strongly and teaches her how to use her empathic abilities constructively. Hyesha recognizes the need to mother herself and attend to her own emotional needs when triggered by outside stimuli. The session highlights the difference between empathy and sympathy, showing how Hyesha can feel deeply without becoming overwhelmed.How to Get Over It & On With It:
Practice distinguishing between empathy (feeling without judgment) and sympathy (feeling sorry for others), and strive to stay in an empathetic space. Acknowledge that your reactions to certain situations may be based on unresolved emotional wounds, and use these moments as invitations to self-care. Use grounding techniques to regulate your nervous system when you start to feel overwhelmed by others' emotions. Recognize that feeling deeply is a gift, but it doesn’t require you to take on the burden of fixing or saving others.Sponsor: Caraway Cookware – Christine loves Caraway’s non-toxic, chemical-free cookware.
