    9. The Year Compass: Reflect on the Past Year & Set Intentional Goals for the Year Ahead

    What if the new year started with clarity and direction?  In this episode of This One Life, we’re diving into The Year Compass — a free reflection booklet designed to help you gently review the past year and consciously design the year ahead. We talk about why reflecting before goal-setting matters, how the right questions can help you uncover patterns, and why forgiveness, self-compassion, and honesty are essential when moving into a new chapter. We also share our personal experiences filling out the Year Compass — what surprised us, what felt challenging, and what helped us dream again after a heavy year. You’ll hear us explore: How to reflect on the past year without judgment or pressureWhy we tend to forget our wins — and how to reconnect with themLetting go of what didn’t happen (and forgiving yourself for it)Setting intentions based on how you want to feel, not just what you want to achieveChoosing a word for the year — and why it’s so powerfulCreating structure, routines, and self-care that actually support your nervous systemWhether you’re someone who loves journaling rituals — or someone who feels overwhelmed by “new year goals” — this episode offers a softer, more realistic way to reset. ✨ We’ve linked the free Year Compass in the episode description so you can download it and reflect alongside us.

    8. How to Manifest Your Next-Level Life (Backed by Neuroscience)

    What is manifestation really?In this episode, we peel back the “wishful thinking” stereotypes and break down the truth behind manifestation — from energy and frequencies to neuroscience and identity work. Christine shares her personal journey into manifestation, how it started, what finally made it make sense, and how science (yes, literal neuroscience and quantum physics) supports what many people dismiss as “woo.” Together, we explore:• What manifestation actually is — in simple, grounded terms• Why your identity and your beliefs matter more than vision boards• The role your nervous system plays — and why stress blocks your intuition• How limiting beliefs are formed and how to shift them• Identifying your desires (beyond what you “think” you want)• The Law of Attraction explained through energy and frequency• Inspired action vs. forcing• How to become the version of you who already has what you desire• Why your brain resists change — and how to work with it This episode is a warm, honest, practical introduction to manifestation — rooted in presence, clarity, and science. Whether you’re new to this world or you’ve been manifesting for years, you’ll take away tools, shifts, and a deeper understanding of how to create the life you want.
