    Spiritual Awakening Isn't What You Think

    LISTENER NOTE: This episode touches on themes of deep spiritual shifts, losing friends, and the profound grief of losing a parent. Please listen with care. Welcome back to The Higher Perspective. In this week’s episode, Christine sits down with the beautiful Claire Doherty from Inner Balance Energy Healing. Claire opens up about her early childhood experiences sensing spirits, and how the fear of judgment caused her to shut those intuitive gifts down for decades. Together, they explore the intense and often isolating reality of a spiritual awakening. Claire shares how her own awakening coincided with perimenopause, leading to a deep discussion on how our physical bodies often manifest anxiety, hot flushes, and panic when our energetic bodies are fighting to wake us up to our true path. They discuss the process of "peeling back the layers of the onion" - unlearning the deep conditioning forced upon us by society, schools, and parents to rediscover our pure essence. Claire also shares the deeply moving story of losing her mother to Parkinson's disease. She opens up about the signs she received before her passing, the trauma of the loss, and how the profound grief ultimately led to a spiritual rebirth that deepened her healing practice today. 00:00 Intro & Welcome  00:55 Sensing Spirits as a Child & Shutting Down the Gift  05:48 Perimenopause or Spiritual Awakening?

    Stop Seeking Approval: How to Take Your Power Back & Handle Rejection

    LISTENER NOTE: This episode explores the emotional weight of seeking external validation, the fear of rejection, and the difficult reality of outgrowing friendships as you step into your authentic self. Welcome back to The Higher Perspective. In this week’s solo episode, Christine asks a powerful question: why do we give other people so much authority over how we feel about ourselves? Whether it is an unreturned text message or sensing that someone does not like you, we so often let external events completely dictate our internal worth. Christine traces this deep need for acceptance back to our childhood conditioning, exploring how the rules we learned to survive and be praised as "good" kids follow us straight into adulthood and turn into exhausting people-pleasing habits. Christine gets deeply personal about her own spiritual awakening ten years ago, sharing how stepping into her true purpose led to the painful rejection of a very close friend. She explains how to navigate these relationship shifts without internalizing the blame or matching someone else's low, resentful energy. By learning to separate the actual event from the stories our minds create about it, we can stop the anxious mind loops and realize that someone else's perception of us is simply none of our business. Ultimately, this episode is a guide to taking your power back. It is a reminder that discomfort and shifting friendships do not mean you are doing something wrong; they often mean you are making space for the people who truly align with your highest self. 00:00 Intro & Welcome  01:20 Childhood Conditioning & The Need for External Approval  04:42 The Exhausting Reality of Managing How People Perceive You  07:12 Christine’s Story: Facing Rejection & Losing Friends on a Spiritual Journey  11:20 Choosing Not to Match Low Energy When Someone Ignores You  15:06 The Difference Between What Happens and the Story You Create  18:12 How to Stop the Anxious Mind Loops & Question Your Thoughts  21:03 Practical Steps for Reclaiming Your Personal Power  24:07 Final Reflections: What If You No Longer Needed Approval?  TUNE IN WEEKLYNew episodes drop every Monday!

    When a Woman Says No: Why We Carry the Shame When Men Cross the Line

    LISTENER NOTE: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including unwanted sexual advances, personal safety, and toxic masculinity. Please listen with care. Welcome back to The Higher Perspective. In this deeply personal solo episode, Christine asks a difficult but necessary question: Have we become so accustomed to women being sexualized in everyday life that we've stopped questioning it? While hosting a recent wellness retreat in Portugal, Christine witnessed two separate incidents involving men making unwanted sexual advances toward women who were simply trying to do their jobs, a hotel receptionist and a highly skilled massage therapist. These experiences unlocked a deeply buried memory for Christine, bringing her back to a terrifying moment 25 years ago when a trusted neighbor cornered her in his home. In this episode, Christine unpacks the complex emotions women face when their boundaries are crossed. She explores why women so often internalize the blame, carry the shame, and quietly withdraw from friendships and jobs just to keep the peace. She also dives into how our physical bodies remember trauma long after our minds have moved on, triggering the "fight, flight, or appease" nervous system response when we are faced with similar energy years later. Finally, Christine issues a call to action for both men and women. For women, it is a reminder to look out for one another and understand why we are so often forced to live in our masculine, protective energy. For men, it is a challenge to recognize when women feel unsafe, step up, and help us restore the balance so women can finally feel safe enough to soften and surrender again. 00:00 Intro & Welcome 01:20 Have We Stopped Questioning Unwanted Sexual Advances? 02:14 The Hotel Receptionist: Navigating Uncomfortable Encounters at Work 04:11 The Massage Therapist: Professionalism Disregarded for a "Happy Ending" 07:53 Christine’s Story: When a Trusted Friendship Suddenly Turns Unsafe 10:18 Why Do Women Carry the Shame and Guilt for Someone Else's Actions? 13:42 Fight, Flight, or Appease: How the Physical Body Remembers Trauma 18:35 Raising Daughters & The Exhausting Reality of Scanning for Safety 20:55 How Toxic Masculinity Forces Women into Their Protective Energy 22:30 A Call to Men: Step Up, Speak Out, and Help Restore Safety TUNE IN WEEKLYNew episodes drop every Monday!

    Children Should Be Seen and Not Heard: The Generation That Learned to Stay Quiet

    LISTENER NOTE: This episode explores the long-term impact of childhood conditioning and how it shapes our ability to speak up and set boundaries as adults. In this week's solo episode, Christine tackles a phrase many of us grew up hearing: "Children should be seen and not heard." While it may not have been said maliciously by overwhelmed parents, this conditioning taught an entire generation to stay quiet, avoid causing trouble, and play small to be loved. Christine explores how this subconscious programming follows us into adulthood, showing up as a fear of judgment, people-pleasing, over-explaining, and the inability to set boundaries. She shares her own journey of overcoming the paralyzing fear of public speaking and the deep-rooted need for external validation that started in her childhood. In this episode, we explore how the "good girl" conditioning from childhood turns into a fear of being seen and heard as adults. Christine unpacks the connection between silencing our truth and physical blockages in the throat chakra, explaining why the fear of confrontation and people-pleasing are actually deep-rooted survival mechanisms. You will learn how to break the pattern of shrinking yourself by simply noticing when you say "it's fine" when it is not. Finally, we discuss practical ways to give your children the space to be seen and heard without losing your boundaries, and why boys are often much more willing to talk in the car than at the kitchen table.  00:00 Intro 02:29 Learning to Read a Room & The "Good Girl" Conditioning 04:32 The Fear of Judgment, Success, and Being Seen 06:28 Why You Were Told You Are "Too Sensitive" 08:44 People-Pleasing, Boundaries, and the "Psycho Mom" Alter Ego 11:16 Seeking External Validation Outside the Family Home 14:03 The Throat Chakra: Why Speaking Up Feels Physically Unsafe 17:38 Healing Your Voice & Breaking the Pattern 19:56 How to Create Safe Spaces for Your Children to Be Heard (From Take 2) 22:15 How to Break the Pattern of Shrinking Yourself TUNE IN WEEKLYNew episodes drop every Monday!

    From Stage 3 Cancer to Energy Healing: Keith Cullen on Trauma, Sensitivity & Practical Spirituality

    LISTENER NOTE: This episode touches on sensitive topics, including cancer and suicide. Please listen with care. Welcome back to The Higher Perspective. This week, Christine is joined by Keith Cullen, energy healer, Reiki master and author of the raw new memoir, Dear Future Me. Keith opens up about the turning point that changed everything: being diagnosed with stage three bladder cancer in his thirties after suddenly becoming ill in a Brisbane hotel room during a music promo tour. Together, Christine and Keith explore what happens when our bodies carry years of emotion, grief and unhealed experiences, and why healing needs to go beyond "spiritual bypassing" and become something practical that we actually live. Keith also reflects on growing up as a highly sensitive child, developing OCD tendencies and trying to control his environment to feel safe. What once felt overwhelming eventually became one of his greatest strengths. The conversation moves into mental health, suicide and personal loss, including Keith's own family experiences and the €55,000 raised through Christine's Full Moon Healing Circle. They also explore modern stress, social media, cancel culture and what happens when we become afraid to speak honestly.

    How to Stop Projecting Your Fears & Trust Your Intuition as a Mother

    LISTENER NOTE: This episode explores the heavy expectations placed on mothers, trusting your intuition, and breaking generational patterns of emotional suppression. Welcome back to The Higher Perspective! In this deeply personal solo episode, Christine tackles one of the greatest, yet most easily lost gifts we have: a mother's intuition. From the moment we have a baby, we are bombarded with conflicting advice from Google, Instagram, family, and society. Over time, this noise—combined with our own dysregulated nervous systems—drowns out our quiet inner knowing. Christine shares real-life stories from her 26 years of motherhood, including how she navigated her teenage son's sudden school anxiety by leaning into her intuition rather than rushing in to "save" him. She also shares a powerful memory from her days as a swimming teacher to illustrate how easily we unknowingly project our own fears onto our children. In this episode, we explore why the "rules" of motherhood constantly change and how to block out the overwhelming noise of outside opinions. Christine discusses how to build emotional resilience in your children without letting them hide from discomfort, and explains the critical difference between the loud, panicky voice of anxiety and the calm, grounded voice of true intuition. We also dive into how generational patterns—like the 1980s rule that children should be "seen and not heard"—block our throat chakras and impact how we show up today. Finally, we cover how to use the 4 Dimensions of the Embodied Energy Method to regulate your body and tune back into your true inner guidance.

    Pause Before You Please: Why the "Good Girl" Mask is Ruining Your Boundaries

    LISTENER NOTE: This episode explores themes of childhood survival mechanisms, people-pleasing, and generational emotional loads. Welcome back to another episode of The Higher Perspective. In this episode, Christine is joined by Natalia Czepukajtys, the founder of Happily Ever Mind, for a deep and relatable conversation about nervous system regulation, people-pleasing, and healing the inner child. Natalia shares her personal story of realizing she was living her life to fulfill her mother's dreams and how the survival mechanisms we develop in childhood - like perfectionism and being the "easy child" - often turn into boundary issues and exhaustion in adulthood. Together, Christine and Natalia explore why we shouldn't blame our parents, how to befriend our minds with just a few minutes of daily mindfulness, and why the person with the regulated nervous system always wins.

    What It Really Means to Be a Balanced Woman: How to Come Back to Yourself

    This episode explores themes of chronic overwhelm, burnout, and the intense pressures women face to maintain the "strong woman" mask.  Welcome back to season three, and welcome to the very first episode of The Higher Perspective! In this solo episode, Christine tackles a concept we have completely misunderstood: what it means to be a balanced woman. Somewhere along the way, we were sold the exhausting idea that balance means having everything perfectly together - being highly productive, emotionally regulated, and managing a flawless morning routine while drinking green juice. But what if the modern wellness industry has just become another guilt-inducing to-do list? In this episode, Christine shares her honest truth about dropping the mask of perfection. She explores how functioning and thriving are two very different things, and why the strongest women are often the ones silently struggling underneath it all. In this episode, we explore why true balance isn't about never losing your center, but knowing how to come back to yourself.
