Description

Life has a way of shifting when we least expect it. One phone call, one truth, or one quiet realization can change everything.  In this solo episode of Who Are You Now?, Chrissie explores how the unexpected shows up in our lives–sometimes as a sudden rupture, sometimes as a slow burn, and sometimes as a silent realization that life has changed.

Through stories of divorce, financial loss, health challenges, and family transitions, she unpacks how these moments move through all four bodies–physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual–and how awareness, allowing, and action become the path to healing.  Whether your unexpected arrived like a storm or crept in quietly, this episode offers grounded insight, validation, and reflection for anyone standing in the middle of a life you didn't plan for.

You'll Learn:

  • How sudden and gradual shifts shape your inner landscape
  • Why the unexpected impacts all four bodies–and how to listen to each
  • The difference between rupture, erosion, and realization
  • How to find meaning in endings that become beginnings
  • The 3 stages of moving through change: awareness, allowing, and action

Key Takeaways:

  • Awareness is the first step in transforming pain into perspective
  • Allowing truth to rise isn't weakness–it's strength
  • Endings often hold the beginnings already within them
  • The unexpected strips away illusion and reveals who you are becoming
  • Gratitude is often the hidden gift in hardship
