What the Hell is "Holding Space" Really? (And How to Know If You Can)

My kid came running out of school crying…over his TEACHER.I have talked a ton about healing, accepting and working through issues with others (especially family!).This recent situation showed me there are times we SHOULDN'T...-What to look for that calls for a different “conscious” approach -HOW to present the issue to be truly heard and helped

We've all been there as parents- your kid is doing something out in public (or with judgmental family) and you want so desperately to make it stop... Usually I'm able to do "something" to at least help the situation, this day I wasn't. Being stuck (and unable to control), had this shadow screaming at me and it came out in a way that I didn't realize I was doing until now... What shame is REALLY about (which helped me feel different about it) Real-life ways to help you process and integrate this shadow so we stop beating ourselves up and dumping it on others.

Out of the mud comes the bloom...I ran into someone yesterday who I had an issue with 2 years ago (I even made a podcast episode about it then!). We had come a long way since.She was going through a really tough moment, and I was EXCITED for her!!Ummmm whattt?? Yep. The faster I have shifted to this (as hard as it was), the faster the good things came to me

"Dammit Christina how do you keep doing that??"A video showed up for me right on Divine time...How shame is connected to the things we say we don't want to do anymore or not doing the things we say we do want to do.And a real-life exercise to help release the programs that keep us stuck and feeling like s@#$.

If you ever walked on eggshells as a kid (umm hi!), almost killed yourself to be perfect (uh hi again!) and/or had to pretend you were ok when you really weren't (well s@#$)... this was probably never done for you growing up. It sounded "woo woo" to me when I first started healing, but I saw recently with my husband how awesome it is when you don't do this... - What "holding space" really means and why it's so important for any relationship especially parenting -A way to see if you are able to -Real-life ways to help you get there even with a trunk of trauma

I have a secret- I have gotten annoyed and even CRINGED at people being close and affectionate…
WTH is that about??(As my ego cringes admitting that…)
A recent (awesomely terrible!) moment shown light on some shadows I was apparently trying to dodge.
-How this shows up from childhood wounds-Real ways to find and work with our shadow so we stop doing unhealed bs 


Always a good time trying to parent differently in front of others (especially family!)My kid refused to share recently and I ALLOWED it...(enter judgement and discomfort)-The surprising move even I was shocked I made to change how it was received -How for many of us, it runs much deeper than it seems connecting to childhood conditioning and traumas-Why and how to help your child AND your inner child when it comes to boundaries and WANTING to share

A Divinely ridiculous amount of stuff went "wrong" recently while traveling alone with my kid- super fun! I could never have imagined how it turned out... How "surrendering" is MORE than just accepting what happened - the missing piece that allowed me to REALLY surrender and allow the Universe/Higher Self to work it out FOR me

We always think of triggers coming from how we were punished/mistreated/abused...our inner child remembering and acting out. This wasn't the case for a recent event... Especially if you are Gen-X or Millennial: The surprising way everyday events our caregivers SHOULD HAVE stepped in with growing up can cause us to react NOW. -How to take apart what happened to pinpoint shadow and inner child work -How to process an unhealed reaction with yourself and others

My husband said one (very innocent!) word that made me lose my mind recently, and I figured out what it was really about... Here's the craziest part- I had done an ENTIRE EPISODE on this before and I STILL missed this! If you are healing and trying to change and do new things-this trauma response will try to wreck the things you say you want to do... -Real life ways this shows up -Surprising reason it is a GREAT thing!? -How to reframe and get yourself out of the pattern that stops us from progressing
