What happens when the chapter of hands-on parenting starts to shift and suddenly you have space to ask, who am I now?
This week I'm joined by Rebecca Greene, social worker, parent coach, and host of the Whinypalooza podcast, for an honest, warm, and often hilarious conversation about the evolving journey of parenting teenagers, rediscovering your identity, and the quiet work of a long marriage.

Rebecca's three kids are each teaching her something different about letting go. With Max newly off to college, we explore what it really means to grow up alongside your children, and why the first child is always the guinea pig.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why parenting is a relationship, not a role, and what changes when you start treating it that way
• The elastic band of letting go: how capable kids become when we step back
• Reclaiming your identity after 20 years of putting yourself on the back burner
• Marriage lessons from 21 years with Seth, including why pausing before you speak might be the most underrated relationship skill
• The emotional vs. physical conflict types (and why opposites always seem to find each other)
• Love languages in real life: why acts of service land differently for different people
• Ignoring outside pressure and tuning into your own family's values
• Why fear sits at the heart of most parenting struggles — and how self-care connects you to deeper intuition about your kids

Rebecca's parting wisdom is simple and powerful: when we focus on our own nervous system and keep ourselves in a good state, we show up better for everyone around us.

In this Equinox focused episode, Christina explore the deeper meaning of balance during a time that feels anything but steady.
Traditionally, the Spring Equinox marks renewal, growth, and outward energy. But this year feels different. Many are experiencing heightened anxiety, overwhelm, and a sense of energetic intensity.

This episode invites you to redefine Equinox as a personal turning point, shifting from head to heart. Instead of getting lost in overthinking, fear, or external noise, you’ll learn how to anchor into your inner world, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with a grounded, heart-led presence.

Through powerful reflection and a historical story of collective intention, Christina explores how small, conscious shifts in your energy can create meaningful change both within and beyond you.

You’ll also discover three key energies to avoid right now:

• Resentment (which creates emotional stuckness)
• Fear (which disconnects you from love and trust)
• Apathy (which blocks life force and creative flow)

And most importantly, you’ll learn the antidotes: release, trust, and creation.

Remember each moment you choose presence, peace, and love, you contribute to a greater balance in the world. Breathe deep and may this Equinox be blessed with balance.

Feeling drained and disconnected? Let's discuss energy and how you can find alignment through simple daily energy practices clear negativity, ground your body, and reclaim your power.

Creating a shift in how you feel starts with understanding energy and in this episode, that is exactly where we begin.
Christina breaks down how energy moves through you, why it gets stuck, and how mindfulness for overwhelm can bring you back to centre fast.

If life has felt heavy, foggy, or just off lately, this is the reset you have been waiting for.

What you will learn:

• How to recognise when you are carrying energy that is not yours
• Why daily spiritual practice is like brushing your teeth and as non-negotiable
• How to find balance when you are overwhelmed by other people's energy
• Simple grounding techniques to stop energy leaking in all directions
• Why where your attention goes, your energy follows, and how to use that in daily life.

Steps forward

• Remember: We are energetic beings. Energy flows through us and radiates outward.

• Notice: Where attention goes, energy flows. A scattered mind creates scattered energy.

• Anchor: A simple hand-on-heart pause can instantly call your energy back home.

• Protect: Sensitive souls often absorb others’ energy. Gentle boundaries matter.

• Practice: Energetic hygiene is like brushing your teeth. Small daily habits keep your field clear.

Dr. Alison shares her fascinating journey of spending a decade in Asia, where she decoded the ancient wisdom of subtle energy and integrated it with modern psychology.

Feeling behind? This is your 2026 permission slip to start again. We’re ditching the Jan 1st pressure for the ancient wisdom of Imbolc. Discover why the 'sludge' is a vital part of your reset and how to turn resolutions into rhythmic intentions.

Welcome to the first episode of 2026!
If you feel like you’ve already 'failed' your resolutions or the January sludge has kept you stuck, this episode is your permission slip to start again.

We’re moving away from the pressure of January 1st and looking at why the season of Imbolc is actually the perfect time to breathe life into who you want to be in 2026.

So, in this episode, Christina dives into why the pressure to "hit the ground running" on January 1st often clashes with the natural world and our own internal rhythms.

Whether you’re navigating personal upheaval, global tensions, or just a very rainy UK winter, this episode is an invitation to stop "failing" at your resolutions and start nurturing your seeds.

In This Episode, You will hear about:

• The "Rocky Start" to 2026: Why external factors and global tensions might be making your January feel heavier than expected.
• Numerology & Astrology: Transitioning into a Year 1 (New Beginnings) while shedding the final layers of the Year of the Snake.
• Ancient Wisdom vs. Modern Calendars: How to utilize the Spring Equinox and Imbolc as the true start of the year.
• The Power of Quiet: Why craving social media silence and "trying on" new versions of yourself is a vital part of the intentional process.
• Intentions as Tones, Not Goals: Moving away from success/failure and toward a "broad stroke" approach to your year.

Christina's special Imbolc Event takes place FOR FREE on Saturday the 31st of January at 4pm EST/9pm GMT.

In this episode of Showing Up Whole, we explore the Enneagram as a powerful tool for self-awareness with Family Therapist and certified Enneagram Teacher, Michelle Joy.

If you have ever felt stuck in the same emotional reactions, communication patterns, or inner stories, this conversation offers a compassionate way to understand why, without blame or self-judgment.

The Enneagram is often misunderstood as just another personality test.
In this episode, we unpack why it is actually a living map of growth. Rather than labeling behavior, the Enneagram reveals the deeper motivations beneath our reactions, showing how we learned to seek safety, love, and belonging, and how those strategies can quietly keep us stuck.

You will hear how each Enneagram type carries a “human lens” through which the world is filtered, and why mistaking that lens for absolute truth can limit growth, connection, and inner peace.

We discuss how awareness of your type creates space between stimulus and response, allowing you to choose differently rather than react automatically.

This episode is for anyone who wants to understand themselves more honestly, relate with greater compassion, and move from survival patterns into wholeness.

Michelle Joy, LMFT, is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, certified Enneagram Teacher, and founder/host of The Annual Enneagram Summit for the Helping Profession. She is the creator of The Developmental Enneagram for Couples®, a unique approach that combines the Enneagram with the transformative component of differentiation. Michelle also leads workshops for couples and professional trainings for coaches and therapists at CouplesAndTheEnneagram.com. She is the author of her forthcoming book The Developmental Enneagram for Couples®, to be released in spring 2026.

The solstice isn’t just a single day.

It’s a season that invites us to slow down, reflect, and consciously choose light, even when life feels heavy.

In this episode of Showing Up Whole, Christina explores the deeper meaning of the solstice and what it asks of us during uncertain and emotionally intense times. With so much darkness, pressure, and noise in the world, this conversation gently guides you back to your inner light, your intuition, and the quiet wisdom within you.

This episode is for the woman who feels tired of forcing goals, overwhelmed by expectations, or disconnected from herself. Together, we explore how choosing light isn’t about bypassing reality, but about anchoring into who you truly are beneath the chaos.

Whether you’re in the Northern Hemisphere experiencing the longest night or the Southern Hemisphere living in the height of light, this episode offers grounding, reassurance, and a reminder that your inner fire still burns.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The solstice as a season of reflection, not a one-day event
• What it truly means to choose light during dark times
• How pressure-driven planning impacts the nervous system
• Why intuition matters even when you don’t always follow it
• The difference between outward light and embodied inner light
• Simple, practical ways to reconnect with what lights you up

Reflection to Sit With:
What feels heavy right now?
What feels light?
And what would it look like to choose yourself, even in a small way?

Sometimes choosing light is as simple as a breath, a pause, or giving yourself permission to let something go.

Resources Mentioned:

In this week’s episode of Showing Up Whole, Christina step intothe Holiday Season with intention. Instead of rushing into the familiar holiday shoulds, she pauses to ask a powerful question: What are we actually celebrating?

In a season filled with expectations, traditions, and emotional weight, it’s easy for sensitive, heart-led women to disconnect from themselves and put themselves on a shelf. Today, Christina explores how the holidays can become a doorway back to your inner light rather than a drain on your energy.

She starts by looking at the deeper essence beneath every cultural holiday: light, hope, renewal, and the faith that life returns even in the darkest season. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, solstice, or something uniquely yours, the theme is the same; remembering the light within and around you.

You’ll hear stories from her childhood, how family traditions have shifted through the years, and why joy, comfort, and meaning often show up in simple rituals like music, movies, nourishing food, and shared presence.

Explore how holiday stress disconnects you from your truth, and how to sort your shoulds from your joys so you can choose what actually supports your nervous system, your energy, and your spirit.

If you’re craving a grounded, sacred reset this season, join Christina for her free Winter Solstice Ritual of Light on December 21st. We’ll meditate, release the energetic clutter, reconnect to your inner fire, and celebrate the return of light together.

And don’t forget to download your free guide, Three Practices for a Calm Holiday Season, plus a bonus 7-minute meditation to help you stay centered no matter how busy life gets.

This year, choose calm over chaos, alignment over pressure, and joy over expectation.
Make this the season you remember who you really are.
