In this episode, Christina is speaking to an exact experience every person looking to expand goes through. The growth speed bump as she likes to call it. In the next two episodes we explore what happens when growth starts to feel uncomfortable and how to tell the difference between a real red flag and the body’s built-in resistance to change. It’s a conversation about learning when to slow down, when to keep going, and how to trust yourself more clearly as you move into something new.

What You’ll Learn

• How to tell the difference between discomfort and genuine misalignment
• Why the body can react strongly when you’re stepping into something unfamiliar
• The difference between a compulsion and your inner knowing
• How old patterns can disguise themselves as “protection”
• Finally a distinct test to understand who's voice you are hearing, your higher self or your old pattern.

If you’ve ever wondered whether something feels hard because it’s wrong or because it’s new, this episode will help you start separating the two.
