Description

In this inspiring session, Christine coaches Wendy, who has felt stuck and frozen by fear—especially when it comes to making decisions in her relationships and career. Wendy shares her history of physical challenges, overprotective parenting, and bullying, which shaped her belief that fear and love always go hand in hand.

Christine helps her see that fear doesn’t have to be a problem. Together, they explore how to release the “something is wrong with me” belief, reframe fear as an old protective pattern, and step into a new chapter defined by intention rather than paralysis.

If you’ve ever waited to feel confident or fear-free before making a move in your life, this conversation will remind you that you can take steps even with fear present—and that your past doesn’t have to dictate your future.

Consider / Ask Yourself:

• Are you waiting for fear to disappear before pursuing something you truly want?
• Do old childhood experiences still shape how you see yourself and your choices?
• Have you confused “being seen” with “being judged”?
• What new story could you tell yourself that would free you from the past?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

• Fear doesn’t have to be solved before you act—it can come along for the ride.
• Overprotective parenting can imprint fear that isn’t actually yours.
• Confidence comes from self-trust and knowing you can handle challenges, not from waiting for certainty.
• Reframing fear as familiar, but not controlling, creates freedom.
• Being honest about your story invites connection, not rejection.

How to Deepen the Work:

• Instead of waiting for confidence, act with intention.
• Talk to your younger self and reassure them they are safe now.
• Notice when you are seeing yourself through the old lens of “something is wrong with me.”
• Try body-based practices that build trust and safety within yourself.
• Practice honesty in small ways and notice how people respond with compassion.
