24 : Trust yourself while Things Are Still Unfolding

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0500

This week, I’m sharing something small that almost changed everything.

With a big move coming, I had the opportunity to turn a simple trip into something “productive.” It would’ve made sense. It would’ve felt responsible.

But I didn’t.

And now that I’m on the other side of it, I can clearly see what that choice gave me—and what I would’ve missed.

In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet way planning can keep us from actually living our lives… and how to shift out of that.

If you’ve ever felt like you need to have everything figured out before you can enjoy your life, this one is for you.

You don’t have to wait until things are settled.

You can live your life while it’s still unfolding.

✨ What You’ll Take Away

Why planning can sometimes delay your life instead of move it forward
How to recognize when you’re stuck in “planning mode”
A simple way to shift into action (without overcomplicating things)
Why you don’t need everything figured out to enjoy your life right now

💛 Your Small Step

Schedule something simple you’ll enjoy this week.

23: Past You Did You a Favor

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0500

Sometimes the version of you from a year ago quietly prepares your life for something you can’t see yet.

In this episode, Christie shares a personal reflection about how small decisions — clearing out, simplifying, making space — can quietly prepare you for future seasons of life.

When big changes come, those small steps often make the moment feel lighter, calmer, and more doable.

You don’t have to know every step to move forward.

And there’s a good chance the past version of you has already helped more than you realize.

✨ Do This Now :

Clear one small area that feels overwhelming.

Not the whole house.

Just one drawer. The sliverware drawer ?

One pile of papers. Or toss the magazines already!!

Make life easier for the future version of you who will live there.

22: Today Is the Day energy... it feels so good

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0500

After a pause, something interesting often happens.

You wake up one morning and suddenly feel ready.

Not because you forced yourself.

Not because you built the perfect plan.

But because something inside you shifted.

In this episode, Christie talks about the “today is the day” energy — those moments when readiness appears and the thing you’ve been putting off suddenly feels doable.

Usually the spark comes after rest.

Sometimes it shows up when you least expect it.

The key is recognizing it and following it.

Christie shares how this shows up in her own life through projects, creative ideas, and everyday tasks — and how learning to trust that energy can help you move forward without pressure or perfection.

Small moments of readiness can move your life forward in ways that matter.

✨ Do This Now :

Start a “spark list.”

Write down a few small things you’d love to do when the energy shows up.

Examples:

• Clean out one drawer

• Plant a few pots on your porch

• Clear the silverware drawer out

• Start meal planning for the week

• Make an appointment you’ve been putting off

Then when the “today is the day” energy shows up — you’ll know exactly where to direct it.

21: Stop Pretending You're Fine...and be mad

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0500

Many women try to skip the part where they feel hurt, disappointed, or upset.

We rush to be “fine.”

We try to move on quickly.

We tell ourselves it shouldn’t bother us.

But when you pretend you're okay before you actually are, it shows up in subtle ways — in your conversations, your relationships, and the way you carry yourself.

In this episode, Christie talks about why honesty with yourself is the first step toward real peace. When you allow yourself to acknowledge what you're truly feeling, you stop showing up disconnected and start moving toward acceptance and change.

Honesty isn’t the problem.

Pretending is.

And when you stop pretending, things begin to shift.

✨ Do This Now :

Name the feeling you've been trying to skip.

Angry.

Hurt.

Disappointed.

Annoyed.

Confused.

Just name it.

No fixing.

No solving.

No changing it.

Simply be honest with yourself about what is real right now.

20:When You Take a Pause (and Why It's Okay)

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0500

A pause is not failing.

It’s not falling off the plan.

It’s not a setback.

It’s simply being a woman with a full, beautiful life.

In this episode, Christie shares how to return to your goal after a natural pause — without shame and without explaining. You’ll learn why pausing is normal, why consistency is really about returning, and how to re-enter your plan with tiny, doable steps that build self-trust.

19: How to override the Drama and follow through anyway

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 10:00:00 -0500

After you pick a meaningful goal, your daily life fills with tiny moments that try to pull you off track — the scrolling, the “I’m too tired,” the “I’ll start tomorrow.”

This is your comfort brain doing her job.

In this episode, Christie shares how to recognize these “Netflix moments,” how to trust the wiser version of you who made the plan, and how to take tiny, doable steps that keep you moving forward — without perfection, pressure, or hustle.

18: Your Own Drama is in Your Way

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 10:00:00 -0500

In this episode, we’re talking about the real thing that slows most women down once they choose a goal… themselves.

Today, we’re getting honest about why this happens, what it looks like in real life, and how to move forward anyway — even on the days you don’t feel like it.

You’ll walk away knowing how to spot your patterns, how to catch yourself before you derail your own goal, and how to keep going with clarity and compassion.

If you’re working on your 90-day goal from Episode 17, this one is going to feel like the exact breath of clarity you needed.

If you’d love support staying consistent, the coaching waitlists are in the show notes. You don’t have to do any of this alone.

A simple, gentle way to choose one meaningful focus for the first 90 days of the year — so you can actually finish it, feel proud, and create real momentum going into 2026.

If you’re tired of setting too many goals and losing steam by February, this episode will feel like a deep breath.

Today, we’re walking through how to choose one clear focus for the first 90 days of the year — a goal that actually matters to you, fits your real life, and creates the kind of progress that feels energizing instead of overwhelming.

No overhauls.

Just clarity, direction, and a plan for the first quarter of the year.

We’ll talk through:

• Why one goal works better than five

• How to choose the right goal from the buckets of your life

• What makes a goal “complete”

15 : Why One-Size-Fits-All Doesn’t Work

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 10:00:00 -0500

Let's talks about why one-size-fits-all plans rarely lead to lasting change — whether it’s wellness, routines, business, or simply trying to show up differently in your life.

I'll share how personalized support creates clarity, momentum, and long-term success, and why tiny steps that make sense for your real life always beat rigid rules made for the masses.

If you’ve ever wondered why effort isn’t getting results, this episode will give you the “ohhh… that makes sense” moment you’ve been needing.

13: The Next Version of You (not the better version)

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 10:00:00 -0500

Today’s episode is a gentle reframe that I think will land deeply for you.

We’re looking at why “becoming a better version of yourself” creates pressure and judgment — and why shifting to the idea of the next version of you opens a door to calm, steady growth.

Inside the episode, we explore:

how a simple Thanksgiving moment became a mirror for personal growth
why the versions of you from past seasons were not wrong — they were necessary
how to set up the “vibe” for your next season with small internal + external shifts
how to stop criticizing the you from yesterday and start supporting the you who’s emerging now

💛 Do This Now:

Choose one area of your life where you feel that “this is just not working” stress.

Ask yourself: What’s one tiny thing I can do this week to set a calmer vibe for this process?

It all counts. And you’re already on your way to the next version of you.

12: Setting Your Life’s Default Settings (Friction-Free Wins)

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 09:00:00 -0500

We often sabotage our progress by relying on willpower, which always fails when we’re tired. I share how to stop making success a struggle and start setting up Friction-Free Default Settings in your life. Learn how to create a "Slide, not a Wall to Climb" for your goals, using simple habits like the coffee and workout defaults, and why cleaning out your closet is a high-quality mental win. It's about making success easier—or at least easier—so you keep going.

💛 Do This Now: Identify one area of daily friction in your morning routine (coffee, dressing, starting work). Set up a Default Setting to remove that friction, making the first step take less than 60 seconds.

11: Slow Work Still Works (B+ gets it done)

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0500

Are you waiting for the perfect day or the perfect amount of energy before you tackle your big goals? That waiting game is a trap! Christie shares why the secret to finishing anything huge is consistently choosing B+ effort. Learn how to give yourself permission to drop the perfectionism, embrace the reheated coffee approach to life, and use slow, imperfect action to build incredible momentum. Losing weight isn't about losing weight—it's about losing the old habits and identity. If it's not perfect, it still counts.

💛 Do This Now: Define "what is good enough for you" right now. Then, choose the B+ version of your most important goal for the rest of this week. Give yourself permission to do the good enough thing and watch how much more you actually get done.

10: How to Be Excited About Your Life (Today)

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 10:00:00 -0500

Are you waiting for a new car, a perfect body, or a full client calendar to finally feel excited about your life? That waiting game is a trap! I share the realization that excitement must be generated internally through intentional thought work. Learn how to define what "showing up for myself" truly means for you—whether it's buying a new pair of $59 workout shoes or taking time for a walk—and how to cultivate genuine joy, even when life is still messy. Remember: It's okay to feel both ways about something.

💛 Do This Now:

Write down the phrase: "I am excited about my life because..." and finish it with one true thing. Then, define what "showing up" means to you today and take one action that proves that thought right.

09: Redirecting Your Brain: The Power of Five Words

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 10:00:00 -0500

If you often end your day with a sigh of defeat ("I didn't get to that..."), this episode is your gentle intervention. We all overload our lists, but the real trap is the critical thought that follows. I'll share my personal, strategy for redirecting negative self-talk using the word yet and a powerful five-word phrase that literally shifts my energy. Learn how to train your brain to choose future action over past failure, allowing you to finally get off the self-critique cycle.

💛 Do This Now:

The next time you catch yourself saying, "I didn't get that done," immediately follow it out loud with: I'm going to get there. Or simply add the word: Yet.

You're doing the work—lifting, walking, tracking—but nothing is moving. This episode is your bridge! Christie shares the missing piece: Real-time Feedback. Learn how her own "perfect" breakfast was causing huge blood sugar spikes and why generic advice fails. She introduces the Feedback Loop concept, explaining why a simple 2-week CGM trial isn't enough, and how seeing your body's specific cause-and-effect can finally calm cravings, improve sleep, and shift those stubborn pounds. This is about working smarter and kinder, not harder.

💛 Do This Now:

Not ready for a CGM? Try Christie's 7-Day Gentle Experiment: Pick one—add 20g of protein to breakfast, take a 10-minute walk, or add more non-starchy veggies to dinner—and repeat daily for 7 days. Notice your energy, cravings, and sleep.

07: How to Support Family Without Losing Yourself (Flexible but Forward)

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 10:00:00 -0500

If you’re saying yes to everyone and watching your own time disappear, this episode is your reset. I share the one question that protects your energy (“Is this mine to carry, or theirs to figure out?”), a soft daily rhythm that leaves room for family and your goals, and a simple boundary sentence you can use this week—without guilt.

💛 Do This Now:

My protected pocket: “From __ to __ , that time is mine for __. (walk/work/block/cleanup).”
My boundary sentence: “I can help after __.” / “This morning’s my work window; I’ll check in later.” / “I’m free after 2:00.”

06: Build Rhythms From Desire (Not “Should”)

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 10:00:00 -0500

If “I should work out” and “I need to eat better” aren’t helping, try this: build your wellness rhythms from want and could. In this episode, I'll show you how desire + identity make consistency lighter, why progress is curvy (not a straight line), and how to borrow one simple habit from your “future you” so it actually sticks.

💛 Do This Now:

Write: “What I want more of this week is ________.”

Then: “One tiny rhythm I’ll practice is ________.” Keep it tiny and kind.

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0500

If you’ve been avoiding your habits because you don’t want to feel judged, this episode is your safe space. Christe walks you through a short, curiosity-first check-in—food, timing, sleep, movement, and stress—so you can connect what you do with how you feel and choose one small change that actually fits your real life. Honest, not harsh. Kind, not punishing.

💛 Do This Now:

Write: “Honest truth I’m noticing: ________.”

Then: “One willing step I’ll take this week: ________.” Small enough to keep, kind enough to repeat.

03: Learning Isn’t Doing (Start Today)

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 10:00:00 -0500

One of the sneakiest forms of resistance is waiting until you “know more.” Research feels productive, but it’s often just procrastination in disguise. In this episode, I'll show you why imperfect action creates more clarity than endless learning, and how to choose a simple step today—in your wellness, business, or home—that moves you forward.

💛 Do This Now: Write down one thing you’ll do today (not learn about, not research—do) that moves you closer to your goal.

In this episode, I help you normalize the doubt, take one right-sized step that fits your real life, and move through the freeze with clarity and kindness.

If you’ve been circling the same project, routine, or idea for months—and never actually finishing—it’s not because you’re broken. In this episode, I share why overthinking feels safe but keeps you stuck, how to release what’s no longer yours to carry, and how to pick a thought that finally gets you moving.

💛 Do This Now: Write down the one thing you keep circling. Decide—do I still want this? If yes, commit to one small step this week.
