After cancer, loss, trauma—or years of just holding it all together—it can feel almost wrong to let life be good again. In this special solo episode of The Live Free Podcast, Christine shares her personal journey of navigating pregnancy after cancer and the surprising emotional blocks that can come with healing.
She explores why joy can feel unsafe, how we unconsciously protect ourselves from happiness, and what it really takes to receive life’s goodness after pain. Whether you’ve gone through illness, heartbreak, or just feel stuck in survival mode, this episode is a gentle but honest invitation to soften, open, and start believing again.
Plus, Christine shares a quick update about what’s changing on the podcast—and how it will make space for deeper, richer conversations moving forward.
