As we close out the year, many of us feel the pull to push harder, do more, and prepare for what’s next. But what if the most powerful thing you could do right now… is pause?

In this episode of Loving Your Life Again, Christina shares an honest reflection on what happens when healing and personal growth become too serious — and how the body gently calls us back to joy.

Drawing from her own experience completing a major season of work, Christina explores how easy it is to slip into productivity mode and quietly abandon self-care without realizing it. Through breathwork and somatic awareness, she reconnects with the truth that release doesn’t require understanding — the body already knows how to let go.

This episode is especially timely as we move through the final New Moon of the year in Sagittarius, a moment that invites big-picture reflection, truth-telling, and intention setting for the year ahead. Energetically, we’re also closing a cycle of deep shedding and preparing to step into a season of forward momentum — making it essential to release what no longer belongs before moving ahead.

Rather than forcing clarity or breakthroughs, Christina reminds us that joy, safety, and presence are practices — not rewards we earn later.

If you’ve been feeling tired, serious, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, this episode offers a gentle reframe and an embodied invitation to come back home to yourself.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• Why we often lose joy while “doing the work”
• How productivity can quietly override self-care
• Why breathwork and somatic practices don’t require knowing what you’re releasing
• The power of letting go without forcing an outcome
• How joy and play help regulate the nervous system
• Why this New Moon is a potent time for release and intention
• How to prepare for momentum without burning out

This episode is all about the Law of Opposites and how the universe uses contrast to help you choose your next level.

In this raw, honest, deeply human episode, Christina shares a real-time story about traveling that started out smooth, effortless, and magical… until the trip home. What unfolded became a powerful lesson in trust, nervous system regulation, and choosing alignment even when everything goes sideways.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

✨ What the Law of Opposites actually is
— and why it shows up every time you’re expanding, manifesting, or stepping into a new chapter.

✨ How the universe uses challenges to calibrate your next level
— not to punish you, but to help you consciously choose who you want to be.

✨ A real-life story of divine timing
— including a tight layover, a potential missed flight, and a “just-in-time” miracle that revealed exactly how supported you truly are.

✨ How old trauma patterns get activated in moments of stress
— and how to regulate your nervous system so you don’t collapse back into fear, panic, or overthinking.

✨ What it means to trust the unseen
— even when your mind wants to spiral or assume the worst.

✨ A gentle reminder:
Your reaction in the moment of contrast is your declaration to the universe about what you truly want.

This episode is for women healing from survival mode, recovering from toxic relationships, navigating emotional triggers, and learning how to trust themselves — and God — again.
You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how to stay grounded, centered, and connected to your highest self even when life throws you the exact opposite of what you asked for.

What if the version of you that’s been “playing it safe” was never hiding at all—she was simply protecting the parts of you that didn’t yet feel safe to be seen?

In this deeply personal solo episode, host Christina Sommers opens up about her recent realization that she’s been hiding in plain sight—softening her message, dimming her truth, and realizing that visibility without safety still isn’t freedom.

Christina shares the story of The Woman at the Top of the Stairs from her chapter in Ignite Your Courage, a moment that marked the beginning of her own rebirth from surviving to thriving. She reflects on what happens when we finally stop diluting who we are, remember the woman who chose courage, and allow our nervous systems to experience real safety in being seen.

✨ In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why we dilute our truth after toxic or emotionally abusive relationships
• How nervous-system safety and visibility are connected
• The story behind The Woman at the Top of the Stairs and what she represents
• Practical ways to begin showing up as your full self—without abandoning your sense of safety
• What’s coming next in the Loving Your Life Again refresh

💗 Listen if you’re ready to:

• Reclaim your voice and authenticity
• Heal from the inside out through somatic and emotional awareness
• Remember the woman you’ve always been and finally let her be seen

If this episode resonates, share it on Instagram and tag @breath_of_renewal with one word that describes where you are on your journey—surviving, healing, or thriving.

“Hiding in plain sight is still hiding—it’s your nervous system’s quiet way of saying, ‘I want to be seen, but I don’t yet feel safe being seen.’”

“The Woman at the Top of the Stairs never left—she just waited for me to remember.”
