"If you don't have any storms in your relationship, find some. Because if we did not have the obstacles we had, we would not have this relationship."                         John and Annie MengWhat does it look like to build an identity as a couple — not just as two individuals sharing a life?

Death threats. Wedding day absences. And ultimately, the slow, intentional work of reconciliation that changed her from the inside out.John, a serial entrepreneur, business exit advisor, and relationship coach, shares how watching the woman he loved walk toward a potentially dangerous confrontation with her father — while he sat quietly in the car — became one of the most spiritually defining moments of his life.Together, they unpack:✦ Why opposites don't just attract — they complete ✦ How to use the DISC profile to understand your couple dynamic ✦ What Tony Robbins' four seasons of relationship reveal about where you are right now ✦ The moment John realized love — not ego — had to lead ✦ Why Annie's estrangement from her family became the catalyst for her greatest personal growth ✦ The "Three C's" of lasting love: Chemistry, Commitment, and Compassion ✦ How to create a couples vision — the one exercise Christine is writing down mid-conversationThis episode is for the woman who wants a great relationship but sometimes wonders if what she sees in other couples is even attainable.

"Going back would mean selling for an older version of myself. And I'm no longer in that identity." — Anita Karadalian-GirgisWhat happens when the person whose love you craved the most doesn't have the capacity to give it — and you spend years accepting breadcrumbs? In this raw, deeply moving episode, I am privileged to sit down with women's empowerment coach and somatic healing guide Anita Karadalian-Girgis to talk about the healing work that actually changes you from the inside out.Anita opens up about growing up with an absent father, the moment she drew a hard line in the sand, and why neutrality in the face of old triggers is one of the most underrated wins in personal development. She also breaks down her signature HER Method — Heal, Embody, Rise — and explains why vision boards and affirmations fall flat when your body doesn't feel safe enough to receive what you're asking for.This episode is for the woman who's been outsourcing her worth to someone who was never going to give it back.Connect with Anita:https://www.arisewithanita.com/https://www.instagram.com/arisewithanita/https://www.facebook.com/anita.karadalian.7Let's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-d-gale-esq-0b899b204/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/

“Healing does not mean erasing what happened. Sometimes healing means becoming anchored enough in who you are that you can look back and finally see the whole story.”Have you been proverbially driving around the hard places in your life instead of through them? Last week, I got to return to the farm where I grew up, a place full of both beauty and pain. And I was unprepared for what happened when I finally drove up the driveway.What I found wasn't the weight of trauma I had expected. Instead, I discovered something I hadn't anticipated: sweet healing.This episode is about so much more — selective memory, the necessity and the danger — of locking away painful chapters, and what it truly means to be a fully integrated, embodied woman. Through an unexpected encounter with the family now living on my childhood farm, I was beautifully reminded that the magic is often laced within the hard memories, not in spite of them.In this episode, you'll explore:Why we selectively remember and what it costs usHow staying disembodied from painful experiences dims your entire beingThe power of borrowing someone else's courage to face what you've been avoidingWhy you can't be grateful and bitter — or grateful and traumatized — at the same timeWhat it means to embody all of your identity, not just the easy partsWhether it's a childhood home, a past marriage, a failed business partnership, or a parenting moment you're not proud of — this episode is your invitation to tiptoe back in, take another look, and reclaim the parts of yourself you thought were better left locked away.You are a fully integrated woman. It's time to light up every room.Join the Girl Out of Order Facebook Tribe!https://www.facebook.com/groups/girloutoforderLet's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-d-gale-esq-0b899b204/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/

“If your identity is outdated, your future will be too.”What if the life you’ve been calling realistic… isn’t actually what’s possible for you?In this powerful Season 1 finale of Girl Out of Order, we challenge you to stop living inside invisible limits and start expanding what you believe is available—for your life, your relationships, your finances, and your future.Because most women don’t stop dreaming overnight. They slowly stop believing.1. You cannot create a life beyond what you believe is available to you. Your limits aren't your circumstances — they're the invisible ceilings you've accepted as reality. Bust through them.2. Your identity sets your ceiling. Everything traces back to how you answer the question: Who am I? You don't get what you want — you get what aligns with who you believe you are.3. Take aligned, messy action. Clarity doesn't come before the action — it comes from the action. Stop waiting to feel ready. Done is better than perfect.If you’ve been playing small, settling for “comfortable,” or waiting until you feel ready—this episode is your wake-up call.It’s time to rewrite what’s possible.Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a woman who needs to hear it.Join the Girl Out of Order Facebook Tribe!https://www.facebook.com/groups/girloutoforderLet's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/

"We are women that don't look our age, act our age, or identify with our age. We are curious, we mentor others, and we are forever blooming."

This week, we sit down with Alyson Hoag, makeup artist and beauty entrepreneur and newly promoted Tony Robbins trainer — for a wide-open conversation about what it truly means to author your own image. Alyson explores how visual identity, authentic self-expression, and midlife reinvention are inseparable — and why beauty for women over 50 is not about the makeup at all.This isn't about lipstick.

“Your body will whisper… until it forces you to stop.” Lauren WuIn this episode, I sit down with Lauren Wu — attorney, former ballerina, and pulmonary embolism survivor — whose life changed in an instant during a work training when hidden blood clots were discovered in both lungs.Her recovery was long and brutal: months in a wheelchair, relearning to walk, and rebuilding her mind and nervous system from the ground up.Out of that season, Lauren created Heart Lead Leadership, a framework redefining how we lead, work, and live — rooted in humanity, alignment, and trust.This conversation will challenge everything you think about stress, success, and resilience — and invite you to rewrite your story from the inside out.Key Takeaways:Burnout is often a systems issue — not a personal failureYour identity can be rewritten, even after crisisTrue leadership starts with humanity, not performanceConnect with Lauren:http://linkedin.com/in/lauren-foster-wu/https://www.heartledleadership.org/Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a woman who needs to hear it.Join the Girl Out of Order Facebook Tribe!https://www.facebook.com/groups/girloutoforderLet's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/

"You don't have to know the whole story to refuse the one being written for you."What if the story that was written for you isn't the story you have to live? In this powerful episode, Christine kicks off the Rewriting phase of Season One with a raw, honest, and deeply personal reminder: wherever you are, whatever you've been through — this is not the end.Drawing from her own journey of childhood neglect and abuse, public professional humiliation, marital betrayal, and the challenges of raising children through mental health crises, Christine makes the case that your trauma is not your identity — and your past is not your final word.We explore 5 powerful Steps to Rewriting Your Narrative:Interrogate the story — Is it actually true, or was it given to you by people in pain?Separate your identity from your experiences — You are not what happened to you, and you are not the worst thing you've ever doneLook for the gifts — Even strangely wrapped ones, even the ones that take time to findWrite new evidence — Every act of courage and self-respect builds a new proof of who you're becomingStay a student of yourself — Stay curious, keep evolving, because the you that got you here isn't always the you that gets you thereSubscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a woman who needs to hear it.Join the Girl Out of Order Facebook Tribe!https://www.facebook.com/groups/girloutoforderLet's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/

"When you can balance your strength with your softness, it's game freaking on."This episode is tender. Honest. And long overdue.For years, many of us have lived in survival mode—learning to be strong, independent, and hyper-capable in order to succeed… and stay safe. And while that strength has served us, it has also come at a cost.Exhaustion. Disconnection. A quiet longing for something more.In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, Christine opens up about her own resistance to femininity and softness—and the moment everything began to shift. Through storytelling, reflection, and powerful reframes, she invites you to consider a new possibility:What if your softness isn’t weakness… but your greatest source of power?This is not about becoming less strong.It’s about becoming whole.Join the Girl Out of Order Facebook Tribe!https://www.facebook.com/groups/girloutoforderLet's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/

"The good girl  survived. The grounded woman leads."For generations, women were praised for being agreeable, accommodating, responsible, and easy to be around. In other words… a “good girl.”But what happens when the very strategy that helped you belong begins to silence your voice, suppress your truth, and leave you emotionally exhausted?In this powerful episode, Christine explores the quiet but transformative moment many women experience in midlife—the realization that compliance may have kept you safe, but it also kept you small.This conversation is not about judgment, rebellion, or blowing up your life. It’s about something far more powerful: evolution. Because reclaiming your voice isn’t about becoming louder. It’s about becoming truer.Join the Girl Out of Order Facebook Tribe!https://www.facebook.com/groups/girloutoforderLet's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/

“Reclaiming your health is not about aesthetics — it’s about agency.”Midlife is not decay. It’s recalibration.In this episode, Christine delivers a powerful love letter to the midlife woman — reminding her that reclaiming her health is not about dieting or shrinking.It’s about agency.Because when you neglect your body, you weaken your leadership.Christine breaks down five essential pillars for midlife vitality:Muscle is medicineProtein is not optionalSleep is a hormone strategyNervous system regulation is non-negotiableYour language shapes your healthYour body isn’t betraying you. She’s asking to be led differently.Reclaiming your health is how you reclaim your identity.The world needs you strong, rooted, and energized for what you are here to build.Let's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/https://www.tiktok.com/@thechristinegale 

“Disappointment is human. Self-betrayal is optional.”What happens when the yes you felt so certain about becomes a no?In this episode, Christine shares a recent, very real leadership setback — a job offer she believed was aligned that unexpectedly fell through — and how quickly doubt crept in.But this isn’t just about disappointment.It’s about what happens inside your brain, your nervous system, and your identity when expectation collapses.You’ll learn:Why rejection activates the same part of the brain as physical painHow dopamine drops create the “gut punch” feelingWhat identity threat really is — and why it shakes confident womenThe difference between disappointment and self-betrayalHow to reclaim hope, focus, passion, energy, and self-trustClosed doors don’t mean you were wrong.They mean life involves other humans with agency.Reclaiming is not about avoiding the sting.It’s about recalibrating without collapsing.If a door recently closed in your life — this conversation will help you move forward grounded, steady, and aligned.🎧 Listen in — and if it resonates, share it and leave a review to help us grow.Let's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/https://www.tiktok.com/@thechristinegale 

"The fire horse energy — she's not quiet. She's not timid.

“If we do not release the stories that were projected onto us, our lives will be stunted and our impact blunted.”Sister, today’s episode is the heartbeat of why Girl Out of Order exists. We’re closing out the releasing portion of Season One by going back to the very beginning — the moment I realized how much of my life had been shaped by expectations, stories, and projections that were never actually mine.In this conversation, I walk you through how unexamined beliefs — especially those handed to us by people we love or authority figures we trust — quietly become cages. I share how projections live not just in our minds, but in our bodies… and why midlife often becomes the moment we simply refuse to contort ourselves any longer. This episode is an invitation into clarity, freedom, and the deep self-respect that comes from choosing a truer story for your life.No spoilers here — but if you’ve felt restless, exhausted, or like you’re outgrowing an identity that once helped you survive, this message will meet you right where you are.Let's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/https://www.tiktok.com/@thechristinegale 

“You don’t need to burn your life down to build something meaningful. You need patience, integrity, and a pace your life can hold.”What if the call to more doesn’t mean something is missing?In this deeply personal episode, I'm speaking directly to the woman who loves her life—and still feels a persistent tug toward something more.

“You don’t have to muscle your way into a new life. You just have to change the question.”What if the anxiety you feel, the pressure you carry, and the burnout you’re battling aren’t coming from your circumstances—but from the questions you’re asking yourself every day?In this deeply personal and powerful episode, we unpack one of the most life-changing concepts I've ever applied: the Primary Question—the unconscious question shaping your mindset, emotional state, decisions, and ultimately, the quality of your life.Through heartfelt stories from her own life, her work as a family law litigator, and a vulnerable conversation with her daughter, Christine reveals how poor-quality questions like “Am I doing enough?” or “What will they think?” quietly fuel anxiety, scarcity, self-judgment, and overwhelm.This episode is part of the releasing season—letting go of patterns that no longer serve you—and it offers practical, grounded tools to help you wake up, get honest, and rewrite the question running your life.In this episode, you’ll learn:What a primary question is and how it silently governs your thoughts and choicesWhy anxiety often isn’t about what you’re doing—but what you’re checking forHow poor-quality questions create pressure, judgment, scarcity, and burnoutWhy awareness is the key to releasing what no longer serves youHow to upgrade your questions to create calm, clarity, and agencySimple daily practices to create a true mind shift, not just positive thinkingJoin us inside the Girl Out of Order Facebook community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/girloutoforderBecause we are always stronger—and braver—together.Let's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/https://www.tiktok.com/@thechristinegale 

“Overwhelm isn’t a capacity problem — it’s a clarity problem.”January is loud — full of goals, strategies, vision boards, and pressure to “start strong.”But for many women, January doesn’t bring inspiration.

“A snake can’t grow new skin while clinging to the old one — and neither can you.”What if the new year didn’t require you to sprint?What if clarity, motivation, and vision don’t arrive on command January 1st — but show up after you let old versions of yourself fall away?In this powerful episode of the Girl Out of Order Podcast, Christine challenges the pressure women feel in early January to plan, manifest, vision-board, and “get it together.” Instead, she introduces a new frame:It’s still the Year of the Snake — there’s still time to shed.Drawing from spiritual symbolism, identity work, and her own year of expansion, Christine talks about how releasing old roles, relationships, expectations, patterns, and stories is required before you can design a new season with intention.This episode will help you:Exhale and stop rushing your becomingUnderstand why shedding precedes clarityNormalize slow, tender seasons of transitionLet go of what no longer serves who you’re becomingTrust your timing instead of forcing a timelineIf you’re still tender, unsure, grieving, re-evaluating, recalibrating, or quietly clearing old energetic closets — this episode will make you feel seen, normal, and right on time.Join us inside the Girl Out of Order Facebook community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/girloutoforderBecause we are always stronger—and braver—together.Let's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/https://www.tiktok.com/@thechristinegale 

“Sometimes the most responsible thing a woman can do is stop talking long enough to hear herself again.”After a two-month pause, I am back behind the mic—and this episode explains why the silence mattered.This wasn’t burnout. This wasn’t quitting. This was a conscious, soul-led pause.In this powerful relaunch episode, Christine shares what happens when a woman stops long enough to truly listen—to herself, to God, and to the deeper call on her life.

"You don’t have to know it all to get started. You just have to answer the question in front of you, and then move on to the next." Keisha Watkinsn this deeply inspiring episode of Girl Out of Order, I sit down with the extraordinary Keisha Watkins — a woman who turned a crystal-clear wedding-day vision into Wrenwood Ranch, a stunning 14-acre boutique retreat in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. But this story isn’t just about building cottages or starting a business — it’s about building a life, brick by brick, rooted in purpose, persistence, and personal growth.Keisha opens up about the decade-long journey of chasing a dream she couldn’t shake — from the back-porch "what if" conversations to clearing trees with snake boots and a chainsaw. Along the way, she shares raw truths about failing forward, investing in herself (even when it didn’t pay off right away), and embracing the discomfort that always comes with expansion.

“You weren’t designed to carry everyone and everything. You were designed to connect, contribute, and co-create.” Christine GaleSister, if you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “I’m just so tired of being the strong one”, this episode is your soul's deep exhale. As we push through the final quarter of the year—juggling holidays, deadlines, and demands—I’m inviting you to take a sacred pause. In this episode, I share a deeply personal exploration of what it means to carry the weight of performative strength and why it's time we start redefining what it means to be "strong."We talk about the generational patterns that teach us to power through, the costs of constantly holding it all together, and—most importantly—how we can begin to surrender with grace. I offer you tangible, gentle strategies to lay down your sword and make space for softness, support, and genuine strength. This conversation is an invitation to choose curiosity over control and connection over exhaustion.Episode Summary:[1:56] - The epidemic of strength: Why women everywhere are feeling emotionally and physically depleted [4:17] - Generational strength: The toxic cycles passed down from mother to daughter [6:45] - Survival mode: The root of always needing to be strong and how it shows up in our lives [12:41] - The real cost of holding it all together: Peace, joy, and connection [18:21] - Four steps to dropping your sword and embracing micro-surrenders [22:13] - How to practice receiving and shift from control to curiosity [26:52] - Create your “peace protocol” for those moments you’re tempted to take over everything againJoin the Girl Out of Order Facebook Tribe!https://www.facebook.com/groups/girloutoforderLet's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/https://www.tiktok.com/@thechristinegale 

"Your compelling life does not exist in the comfort zone—it lives on the other side of the nudge."In this powerful and heartfelt episode, I’m speaking directly to that quiet little voice inside you—the one that’s been gently (or maybe not so gently) nudging you toward change. Whether it's in your health, your career, or your relationships, that nudge isn’t random. It’s divine guidance calling you to step out of your comfort zone and into alignment with your truest self.I share my own journey of ignoring the nudge for far too long—staying stuck in a law firm that drained me—and the freedom and joy that came when I finally said yes to that persistent inner pull. I’m here to be the voice in your ear saying: it’s time. Your compelling life is waiting, but only if you’re willing to listen to the nudge and take bold, messy, beautiful action.If this episode lit a fire in you or gave you that aha moment, I’d be so grateful if you’d take a moment to rate, follow, share, and leave a review.

“Dare to do that action. Dare to go for what you've been holding yourself back. Because passion never comes like a scream. It's always a whisper.” Besa MartiniI am thrilled to share this deeply meaningful episode of Girl Out of Order with you — one of the conversations I lean on the most when I think about growth, identity, grit, and what it means to get unstuck from old stories. I sit down with my coach, Master Coach Besa Martini (of Tony Robbins fame), who has transformed my life in ways I never saw coming. Together we explore how she moved across continents, wrestled with identity, leaned into possibility, and how we women can do the same — especially when our “shitty committee” (you know what I mean) is telling us to shrink.In this episode, we dive into: the power of story (the ones we tell ourselves vs. the ones we can write), the triad — physiology, focus, language — as a tool for becoming the person you want to be before the evidence is there, and the courage to fail, to invest, to believe. If your heart has ever been saying, “there’s got to be more,” this episode is a love letter for you.Timeline HighlightsTimeMoment & Why It Matters[6:43] | Besa shares what it was like arriving in America 23 years ago, and how she navigated being an immigrant, having an accent, and holding onto her roots while daring to grow.[12:30] | She describes the moment she decided “things have to change” — how witnessing suffering led her to re-evaluate what she was accepting in her own life.[20:45] | A powerful reframing: certainty doesn’t precede action — it’s action that creates certainty. How she moved forward even without knowing the full roadmap.[25:00] | The triad (physiology / focus / language): how we’re constantly choosing who we show up as, moment by moment; what changes when we shift those three things.[36:00] | Besa speaks directly to the strong, fiery women (Enneagram 8s, Dynamo DISC, etc.) who have been told they are “too much” — and what it really takes to reclaim and embody your power.[46:30] | Sowing seeds, patience, momentum: the metaphors that remind us growth is messy, slow, full of “no visible results,” yet unfolding behind what we see.[50:40] | For the woman at the threshold — the one grieving an emptied nest, unsure who she is without her “roles” — Besa offers the first little actions to step toward possibility.Join the Girl Out of Order Facebook Tribe!https://www.facebook.com/groups/girloutoforderLet's Connect!https://www.thechristinegale.com/https://www.facebook.com/christine.salsberrygale/https://www.instagram.com/thechristinegale/https://www.tiktok.com/@thechristinegale 

“Put a period at the end of the sentence. Evil is evil. Period.”This week’s episode is deeply personal, raw, and filled with reflection. Originally, I had planned to bring you an inspiring conversation with my coach, Bessa Martini, but after the heartbreaking events in Utah, I felt compelled to speak directly to you from the depths of my soul. This episode is a call for unity, a reminder of our shared humanity, and a challenge to choose love, curiosity, and grace in a time where division is screaming louder than ever.I invite you into a space of deep contemplation—about how we react to tragedy, how we treat one another in disagreement, and what it means to truly live as a Girl Out of Order. Whether you’ve felt confusion, anger, or heartbreak over recent events, I ask you to walk with me in this episode as we re-center ourselves around compassion, connection, and bold, bridge-building love.

“Evil is not some grand, supernatural force. It’s the small moments of inhumanity, the quiet choices to look away, the subtle dismissals of suffering. That is where evil thrives.”— Susan Neiman, moral philosopherI am showing up today with a broken heart and a fierce, unwavering spirit. If you’ve been paying attention, you know that on October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, massacring over 1,200 innocent men, women, and children and taking hundreds hostage. Women were raped, tortured, and dragged through the streets. Babies were ripped from their mothers' arms. And yet, the world has largely remained silent.Let me very clear: this is not a political statement—this is a human statement.I refuse to stand by while Jewish women in my life are suffering, not just from the horrific attacks but from the deafening silence of their non-Jewish friends and from the world. These women—our sisters—are grieving, terrified, and questioning why so few are checking in, offering support, or even acknowledging their pain.What is happening in Israel and in the tunnels of Gaza is pure evil. And if this doesn’t break your heart, if it doesn’t ignite righteous outrage, I urge you to check yourself.This episode is a call to action for every woman who believes in the dignity of human life. I implore you to:✅ Break the silence—reach out to Jewish friends, acknowledge their pain, and stand with them.✅ Recognize evil when you see it—do not minimize or excuse acts of terror.✅ Reject selective outrage—if we stand for women, we must stand for all women.✅ Take action—use your platform, speak out, and refuse to be complicit in silence.Never again...
