How to Communicate with Your Spirit + Get Direct Answers with Christine Lang

Ep 148. Have you ever felt that you have completely lost your identity inside a relationship? Or ever struggled with identifying your feelings until another person either helps you… or prevents you from having to metabolize those feelings altogether? This episode has been a long time in the making. What is codependency really, and how does it tie into the deep shame that women so often feel in so many parts of our lives— our productivity, our bodies, our relationships? Why does it feel so deeply woven into our lineage + society, and the ways in which we were taught to love and be loved? Vanessa Bennett, relationship therapist and author of The Motherhood Myth, is breaking down the science behind codependency, why romantic relationships are one of the only socially sanctioned addictions in our culture, and tangible tools to address dysfunctional attachment when it does appear. We are diving into what codependency looks like in real, day-to-day relationships, and why we tend to show up differently with different people. She breaks down why both men and women carry a deep "choose me" wound, and how this can evolve into codependency if not questioned. Thank you all so much for listening, and Happy New Year!

Ep 147. Have you ever wondered if pain, shame, or anger is showing up in your life because it's the key to something deeper? What does it actually mean to be an intuitive healer? And how do we learn to hear what our own pain has been trying to tell us our entire lives? This week, Manuela Welton, an energy healer who has spent nearly two decades helping individuals, companies, and even governments understand themselves on a deeper energetic level, is breaking down loss, fear, and judgment from an energy perspective. From her gifts being discovered as a four-year-old child to experiencing devastating loss that shaped her childhood, she shares how the death of her parents became one of her greatest initiations into her path. If you've ever felt like you just need an energetic clean slate and to validate or move stuck energy that has stayed with you WAY too long, this episode will feel like the hand you have needed to hold. I'm so honored to share such a sacred relationship that I have worked so closely with over the last couple years. Manuela truly has a one-of-kind gift. Thank you all so much for listening.

Ep. 146 Is heightened intuition a gift or a trauma response? Why is it stronger for some than others, and what is the science behind why some people have 'psychic' abilities? Laura Day, world-renowned intuitive and bestselling author of Practical Intuition and her new book The Prism, is diving into why our unique childhood experiences & 'wounds' can determine the ways in which our intuition may express as an adult. Laura grew up in a chaotic home affected by suicide, manic depression, and narcissism, effectively raising her siblings alone, and is sharing how her beginning actually became the portal to discovering her intuitive gifts. She breaks down the important difference between intuition and wisdom, and why intuition can be both a superpower and a stumbling block depending on how we develop it.

Ep. 145 Do you ever wake up with that sense of dread about how much has to get done - that you jump right into work mode? You put yourself on the clock immediately (especially mentally), without stopping to check in with the methods, pace, or unattended needs that might truly support the flow of your day? Do you find yourself not moving enough all day because it feels like there's not enough time to break or eat because you can't justify moving from your computer? Mayssa Chehata, my dear friend and founder of the BEHAVE candy company, is sharing what it actually took for her to move out of a productivity-first based mindset… to creating space, listening to her body, and allowing for the right rest to fuel creativity as a female founder. We talk about the rock bottoms that force us to rebuild, how anger can be an important part of the healing journey, and the shift that happens when you learn to give yourself what you so deeply need to become the next best version of you. HERE'S THE JUICE Breaking down WHY dragging yourself out of bed every day to create will dwindle your creativity down to zero

Ep. 144 Do you ever feel like you're behind in life, or like you're living on someone else's timeline instead of your own? Do you have trouble pinpointing your unique gifts or purpose?
