When life does not live up to our expectations, we can be left spinning our wheels, angry at ourselves and the world, and feeling profoundly disappointed. But today’s podcast guest, Christine Hassler, says that while these times can indeed be uncomfortable, they can also be a source of huge growth, transformation and healing. And in this episode, she’s sharing her formula for processing these ‘expectation hangovers’ so that you can ease your suffering, open the doorways to possibility, and create the life you truly desire.

Christine Hassler is a Master coach, facilitator and speaker with over 16 years of experience. She is the best-selling author of three books, most recently Expectation Hangover: Free Yourself From Your Past, Change your Present and Get What you Really Want and is the host of top-rated podcast “Over it and On With It” where she coaches people live on the show. Christine has a Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology and implements elements of NLP, psychology, spirituality, science and her own diverse life experience into her work. She’s appeared on: The Today Show, CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, E!, Style, and The New York Times.

She has an incredible ability to help people find clarity, tap into their potential, and get out of their own way, which shines through so brightly in this conversation… I know you’re going to love her just as much as I do!
