EP 439: Stop Expecting a Relationship to Change and Make a Change with Em

This coaching call is about why we stay in relationships that are not for our highest good and how to have the courage to get out of them. Today's caller, Em, has been married for four years. Both she and her partner have faltered in their commitments during that time. She asks Christine for guidance on whether or not to stay in the relationship.   [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode439].   As adults, we are attracted to different versions of our parents because the inner child is always seeking out resolution from our childhood wounding. Until we work on understanding where our subconscious programming comes from and why we choose what we choose, we continue the patterning until we can heal our inner child and give ourselves what we didn't get in childhood.   When we eventually get to forgiveness, we are able to stop harboring guilt and shame. So when we do make mistakes, we can make clear agreements with ourselves to move forward in making better decisions for ourselves from a healed place.   And, when it comes to leaving any relationship, there is going to be a mixture of grief and relief. It's totally natural. Grief passes when we are making decisions based on our highest good.   Are you ready to heal your inner child, set intentions, and reclaim your peace, purpose, and joy? If so, take advantage of early bird pricing and join Christine for a bonus call to begin your 10-week journey.
