Do you ever feel like you’re either all in or completely off track? That if you can’t do everything perfectly, it’s not even worth trying?
In this eye-opening episode, Christina breaks down the all or nothing mindset—why it shows up, how it sabotages your progress, and what to do instead. You’ll learn how this common thought pattern is deeply tied to trauma, nervous system regulation, and hormonal changes especially in midlife.
She also shares powerful tools, including the "boombox theory," to help you move forward without burning out. If you've ever felt stuck in cycles of overachieving and crashing, this episode is for you.
