The Human Hour

Katie starts the episode off by sharing a few transitions she’s currently navigating like meeting her significant other and moving in with said SO during the holiday season. She also offers us a glimpse into her sobriety journey with why she’s chosen to remain sober for well over one year at this point. In her sharing how she came to make this decision, Katie reminds us that we always have a choice in the matter we’re facing and sometimes that choice comes down to how we want to show up for ourselves.Christine gives us an update now that she’s crossed the one year mark as a creative entrepreneur. Spoiler alert: she’s been facing major transition, too, and it’s scary shit.While transition is no easy feat for any of us, you can take comfort in knowing that you aren’t alone no matter where you are.Give this episode a listen if you’re embarking on a brand new adventure, if you’re finding yourself stuck in a loop of sameness, or anywhere in between.

We define growing pains as those times and points throughout our lives when change and transition are present so we begin to feel uncomfortable because we’ve seen or realized something new that has stretched our perspectives.Christine opens up about the act of being vulnerable and how hard it can be when she offers insight into one of the bigger pieces of the puzzle she’s been growing through for the past year. Can you also relate to feeling tension in your parent and adult child relationship?Katie reminds us that she is an independent woman (cue Destiny’s Child), but also that she can’t do it all alone. Let this Minisode serve as a reminder that you do not have to do it all alone.The takeaway here is to lean into the discomfort of facing our flaws and the qualities that aren’t yet our strong suits because that is where the growth begins. And growth is by no means easy but we promise you are never alone.Listen to this Minisode and let us know where you stand with growth and growing pains in your life.

The lessons this season has brought us, the powerful conversations we’ve found ourselves in awe of, and the growth the two of us have felt as humans is something we couldn’t have predicted. We would have never guessed that we’d feel so free + so exhilarated after sharing these real chats we’d been having with one another with the rest of the world.And here’s the thing. We had no idea what was going to come of this podcast but Katie knew she had to lean in + trust this idea that only grew stronger as time went on. The Human Hour has been the platform that has seen our connection with each other coincide with our courage to authentically show up. And there’s no way we would have been able to show up for these episodes + conversations without that connection or courage.Full show notes can be found here.More From Katie Kurtz:Soul ConnectReclaimOn Instagram: @soulconnectmovementOn Facebook: Soul ConnectMore From Christine Barnes:WebsiteThe Courage CampaignOn Instagram: @christine.barnesFollow The Human Hour: On Instagram: @thehumanhourpodcastListen + Subscribe on Apple PodcastsListen + Subscribe on Google PlayListen on SoundCloud
