14 - Who Are You? Awakening, Responsibility, and the Light Within

What if truly knowing yourself could change everything?    In this episode of the Knowing Podcast, Christene Marie walks listeners through a personal exercise on self-awareness, encouraging them to pause, engage, and explore the connection between logic and emotion. She introduces three key steps in deep inner work: identifying the source of emotions, building a strong personal foundation, and taking action to change old patterns. She emphasizes the importance of truly knowing oneself and making space for both thought and feeling in decision-making. Drawing from her life experiences—grief, loss, and relationship struggles—she shares how unprocessed emotions can quietly shape our lives. She challenges listeners to reflect on their own defining moments and take responsibility for their growth rather than falling into a victim mindset. The episode wraps up with a reminder to practice “vertical alignment” daily, making space for self-awareness amidst life’s distractions.    Important Moments: 0:00 Intro 0:37 Words of Welcome From Christene 3:15 The Three Steps to Deep Inner Work 5:19 Balancing Logic and Emotion 9:57 Who are you? 12:16 What was a Catalytic Moment that Forced you Awake? 16:53 Summary of The First Two Questions from Christene 19:28 Have you Assumed Responsibility Over Self? 26:55 The Body’s Wisdom and Intuition 37:31 Narratives and Their Impact 43:11 Embracing Both Shadow and Light 48:07 What is the Light in You?   — Sign up for Christene Marie’s Newsletter: https://christenemarie.com/receive-newsletter/  Read the blog: https://christenemarie.com/blog/  Invite Christene to speak: https://christenemarie.com/speaking/  Connect with Christene on her socials: Instagram: @christenemarie_ LinkedIn: @christenemarie and @theknowingagency  Facebook: @christenemarie
