The most disorienting seasons of life often aren’t the endings or the beginnings. They’re the in between. That’s where liminal space lives, and it’s where so many of us either break open into a truer life or try to force ourselves back into the old one.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• defining liminal spaces as the in between where time slows and growth accelerates
• using curiosity and metacognition to track reactions and rewrite old stories
• working with archetypes, parts, and soul contracts to integrate the self
• building energetic boundaries and differentiation to stay connected without shrinking
• naming dissociation patterns and returning to presence in the physical realm
• creating shared reality through collaboration instead of scarcity

Christine Renee sits down with Lacee Gengenbacher to name what liminal spaces actually feel like: time standing still, identity shifting, and the Tower moment where what “worked” stops working. We talk honestly about how expansion can get tangled with a chronically activated nervous system, why calm can feel unsafe after chaos, and how to reframe growth so it doesn’t require pain and suffering to be valid. Along the way, we dig into embodiment, nervous system safety, dissociation, and the practical power of curiosity and metacognition to track what’s really happening when you feel triggered.

We also connect the dots between parts work and spiritual practice, including archetypes, soul contracts, and Internal Family Systems style language. When the ground moves under you, the inner voices get louder, and we share ways to meet those parts with intention instead of judgment. A thread we keep coming back to is connection: you’re only as connected to others as you are to yourself, and energetic boundaries help you stay in your truth without shutting down your light.

We close by sharing what we’re building in community: the Gathering of the Mystics summit in Bozeman, Montana, a three day container designed for safe exploration, real integration, and shared medicine through speakers, workshops, and intentional ritual. If anything in your body perks up while you listen, trust that signal.

A single trigger can make you feel like you’ve lost all your progress, and then you’re left wondering why the same old story keeps replaying. We’ve learned that the fastest way out isn’t more self-judgment. It’s clearer inner language. When you can name the part of you that’s running the moment, you can stop blending with it and start choosing from a steadier place.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Archetypes as mirrors that reveal behavior patterns and trauma responses
🌖 Using roles like mother, daughter, wife as an entry point to archetypal awareness
🌗 The witness and the sacred warrior for boundaries, accountability, and conscious action
🌘 The queen archetype and reclaiming healthy feminine leadership beyond cultural stereotypes
🌑 People pleasing as the prostitute archetype and the move toward priestess aligned service
🌒 Disruptor and destroyer energy as tower moments that clear the path for realignment
🌓 Saboteur patterns, imposter syndrome, and shifting into magician level creation
🌔 Avoiding the wounded rescuer trap and practicing clean support as a practitioner

Christine Renee and Shantel Ochoa go deep on embodied archetype work, sharing how archetypes act like a map for patterns, trauma responses, boundaries, and relationship dynamics. You’ll hear how people pleasing can be an integrity leak, how discernment differs from self-sabotage, and how “maturing” an archetype can feel softer and more sustainable than trying to fix yourself. We also touch on the disruptor and destroyer archetypes, why tower moments can be initiations, and how the four bodies (mental, emotional, spiritual, physical) get pulled out of balance when we engage from shadow.

If you’re a healer, empath, or spiritual practitioner, we also name the wounded rescuer trap and what it looks like to hold a clean container without fixing. For anyone craving clarity, purpose, and deep spiritual alignment, we share details on Shantel’s Soul Contracts and Alchemizing Archetypes masterclass starting June 23.

Your energy field isn’t just “vibes” floating around you. It’s a living system that reflects your boundaries, your self-worth, and the places where you’ve learned to contract for safety. We walk through a grounded, usable way to understand chakras as interlocking energy centers and why one stuck “gear” can ripple into the rest of your life, from survival stress and people pleasing to muted pleasure and creative shutdown.

Christine Rene brings decades of energy healing and Reiki experience into a clear framework: root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown as a practical roadmap for emotional health, physical tension, and spiritual alignment. We also explore the earth star chakra and sun star chakra as powerful connection points, helping you release and ground into Earth energy while also receiving guidance and nourishment from divine intelligence.

Then we connect the dots to Tantra as an embodied method, not a concept: breath, sound, and movement to shift energy through the “inner flute” and restore flow. This is where psychic protection gets real. When unresolved trauma and limiting beliefs create weak spots in the auric field, cords and intrusive energy can hook in more easily. When your toroidal field is strong, you feel steadier, clearer, and harder to knock off center, without bypassing your shadows.

Join us for She Who Rises starting May 26th to activate and energize your field, expand your pleasure, and enliven your psychic protection.
