Christine discusses the inspiration and process behind writing her new book "Conscious Choices: A Woman's Guide to Clarity, Courage and Connection." She shares that the book was born out of her experience mentoring women and their desire for a resource that addressed their specific challenges. Christine decided to write the book and include stories from the women she worked with to help others realize they are not alone.Christine shares that while writing the book, she experienced the loss of her husband to cancer. This led her to publish a separate journal called "Anatomy of Caring" to help others document their experiences as caregivers. Christine and Karen discuss the importance of allowing oneself to fully experience grief, without judgment, as a path to greater clarity, courage and connection.Karen and Christine emphasize the importance of cultivating personal self-awareness through practices like observation and journaling. They discuss the differences between stream-of-consciousness writing and more structured "conscious journaling" that focuses on identifying facts, emotions and underlying beliefs. Both agree these practices are essential for personal growth and creating a life that works for everyone. Christine provides an overview of the different topics and challenges covered in her book, including self-esteem, self-judgment, doubt, money, relationships, and learning to speak up for oneself. She explains how the book ties these issues to spiritual principles to help readers find clarity, courage and connection.Support the PodcastDonate via PayPalFearlessly Feral Web SiteRev Christine's Web SiteSend us Fan MailSupport the show
