What if your relationship struggles aren't actually about the other person? What if the key to lasting happiness lies in recognizing that you're the common denominator in all your problems?

Christy Holt, the self-proclaimed "Happiness Hussy," joins us to share her transformative journey from people-pleasing and perfectionism to genuine self-acceptance. Drawing from her own experiences of divorce, parenting challenges, and personal growth, Christy reveals how taking "radical responsibility" for our lives can fundamentally change our relationships.

"You don't have a relationship problem, you have an identity problem," Christy challenges, unveiling how our conditioning—especially the "good girl" training many women receive—creates patterns of martyrdom and self-abandonment. She explains how physical illness, emotional distance, and relationship conflict often stem from a fundamental disconnection from ourselves.

The conversation takes powerful turns into boundary-setting, with Christy clarifying the difference between preferences ("you can't do that") and true boundaries ("if you raise your voice, I'll remove myself"). Her insights on unconditional love are particularly illuminating—far from accepting mistreatment, real unconditional love begins with self-compassion and includes healthy boundaries.

Throughout our discussion, Christy's infectious energy and compassionate wisdom shine through as she shares practical strategies from her CREATE method for reclaiming your authentic self. Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing, boundary issues, or relationship conflicts, her message carries a liberating truth: you don't need to become someone new—you need to come home to who you've always been.
