Life Coaching with Christine Hassler

What if your biggest money block has nothing to do with money?
In this deeply insightful and empowering coaching session, Christine works with Karishma, a trauma-informed relationship coach who feels torn between following her purpose and contributing financially to her family in a more traditional way.
Even though Karishma loves her work and knows she's helping people transform their lives, she struggles with inconsistent income, self-doubt, and the pressure to prove she can "make it" as an entrepreneur.
But as the conversation unfolds, Christine uncovers something much deeper: a childhood belief formed at just six years old that still shapes how Karishma sees her capabilities today.
Together they explore how early experiences around intelligence, performance, and worth can quietly sabotage confidence in adulthood—even when someone is deeply gifted and aligned with their purpose.
Christine also offers a refreshing and nuanced conversation around feminine energy, contribution, entrepreneurship, accessibility, and what it truly means to be an "independent woman."
If you've ever struggled to monetize your gifts, doubted your abilities, or felt conflicted between purpose and financial security, this episode will deeply resonate.
Press play to discover why your purpose may not be the problem—and how old beliefs could be blocking the abundance you're meant to receive. 
 
Consider / Ask Yourself
Do you feel deeply aligned with your purpose but financially stuck?
Are old beliefs about intelligence, capability, or worth affecting your confidence?
Do you feel pressure to prove your value through income or productivity?
Are you trying to fit yourself into a version of success that doesn't actually align with your soul?
 
Key Insights and A-Ha's
Purpose-driven work and entrepreneurship require very different skill sets.
Childhood experiences around failure or "not being good enough" can shape adult money beliefs.
Neurodivergence can impact confidence, communication, and traditional ideas of success.
Contribution isn't measured solely by income or productivity.
Feminine magnetism grows when we align with authenticity, purpose, and service—not pressure and proving.
 
How to Deepen the Work
Reflect on the earliest memories connected to feeling "not capable" or "not smart enough."
Notice where you may be measuring your worth through financial contribution alone.
Reconnect with the deeper mission and purpose behind your work.
Explore ways to simplify your business so you can spend more time in your zone of genius.

Are you doing everything in your relationship… and quietly resenting it?
In this incredibly relatable coaching session, Christine works with Melissa, who feels overwhelmed, emotionally triggered, and exhausted from carrying the mental and emotional load in her marriage.
Even though she and her husband love each other deeply and have a strong connection, Melissa finds herself stuck in a painful cycle: she over-functions, suppresses her needs, builds resentment, and then reacts emotionally when she feels unsupported.
As Christine unpacks the deeper dynamic underneath the conflict, a powerful truth emerges: Melissa isn't just reacting to dishes, chores, or household responsibilities—she's reliving childhood patterns of anxious attachment, people-pleasing, and fear of losing connection.
Together they explore the "merging pattern"—a survival strategy where someone over-functions in relationships to maintain harmony and avoid abandonment. Christine helps Melissa see that true healing isn't about controlling someone else's behavior—it's about learning how to advocate for your needs without collapsing into fear, guilt, or resentment.
If you've ever felt like the emotional manager of your relationship, or you struggle to ask for support without feeling guilty, this episode will hit home.
Press play to learn how over-functioning may be keeping you stuck—and how to start creating healthier relationship dynamics. 
 
Consider / Ask Yourself
Do you constantly feel responsible for everyone else's needs and emotions?
Are you over-functioning in your relationship while your partner under-functions?
Do you avoid speaking up because you fear conflict or disconnection?
Are you building resentment because your needs aren't being clearly expressed or supported?
 
Key Insights and A-Ha's
Over-functioning is often a childhood survival strategy rooted in anxious attachment.
Resentment builds when one partner consistently carries the emotional and practical load.
Advocating for your needs is not selfish—it's essential for healthy relationships.
Clear agreements and boundaries reduce emotional chaos and confusion.
Healing requires tolerating discomfort instead of rescuing, fixing, or enabling.
 
How to Deepen the Work
Reflect on where you may be over-functioning in your relationships.
Practice identifying your actual needs before resentment builds.
Create clear agreements and responsibilities within your household or partnerships.
Notice when your nervous system interprets conflict as danger—and gently re-regulate before reacting.

What if the calm, stable life you've worked so hard to create… is the very thing your nervous system doesn't trust?
In this powerful and eye-opening coaching session, Christine works with Carla, who has done years of deep personal growth after a highly chaotic and unstable childhood. She's now in a loving, supportive relationship and living a peaceful life—but instead of feeling settled, she finds herself questioning everything.
Why?
Because her nervous system is still wired for chaos.
Carla opens up about growing up in instability, being parentified at a young age, and constantly second-guessing herself—even now that she's created a completely different reality. Christine helps her uncover how old patterns of hypervigilance, self-doubt, and an overactive inner critic can make peace feel unfamiliar—and even unsafe.
This episode is a powerful reminder that healing isn't just about doing the work—it's about recognizing and embodying how far you've already come.
If you've ever found yourself searching for problems in a life that is actually working… this episode will help you understand why—and how to shift.
Press play to learn how to stop sabotaging your peace and finally step into the life you've created. 
 
Consider / Ask Yourself
Do you feel uncomfortable or restless when life is calm or stable?
Are you constantly looking for what's wrong—even when things are going well?
Do you struggle to trust healthy relationships or peaceful environments?
Are you acknowledging your growth—or still focused on what needs fixing?
 
Key Insights and A-Ha's
A chaotic childhood can wire your nervous system to expect instability—even in safe environments.
When life becomes calm, unresolved emotions and patterns often surface.
The inner critic can keep you stuck in a cycle of "fixing" instead of recognizing progress.
Healthy relationships can feel unfamiliar—and trigger doubt or questioning.
True healing requires not just doing the work, but embodying and celebrating your growth.
 
How to Deepen the Work
Notice when you are scanning for problems instead of being present with what is working.
Practice validating your feelings without needing to analyze or fix them.
Acknowledge your progress regularly—write down how far you've come.
Experiment with fully stepping into your current life without questioning it.

Today we're diving into one of the most transformative conversations happening in mental health right now. My guest is Keith Kurlander, a psychotherapist, co-founder of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, and an expert in trauma and psychedelic-assisted therapy. With over 25 years of clinical experience, Keith has helped thousands of people access real, lasting healing.

We're talking about the potential benefits of psychedelic therapy and microdosing, what trauma actually is and how it gets locked in the body, and most importantly—how psychedelics can unlock doors that conventional therapy often misses. Keith's new book, Psychedelic Therapy: A Revolutionary Approach to Restoring Your Mental Health and Reclaiming Your Life, is a New York Times and USA Today bestseller that breaks down how psychedelics uniquely target the root causes of anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
