The Healing Circle with Spiritual Wellness Christine

Listener note: This episode shares deeply personal stories involving childhood trauma, emotional disconnection, abuse, mental health struggles, and parental estrangement. Please listen with care, and feel free to pause, step away, or return when it feels supportive for you. What happens when you are mourning someone who is still walking this earth? In this deeply personal solo episode of The Healing Circle, host Christine Higgins opens up about one of the most painful, silent, and misunderstood forms of human suffering: ambiguous grief. Whether it stems from addiction, estrangement, mental illness, or emotional disconnection, grieving the living carries a unique layer of shame and a complete lack of a roadmap.Christine shares her raw, firsthand experiences navigating this complex grief in two major chapters of her life. First, she reflects on her childhood relationship with her father, witnessing his severe mental health decline, and the complicated wave of relief that accompanied his eventual passing. Then, she opens up about her own "dark night of the soul" when her daughter moved out and stopped speaking to her. She talks about the painful truth that parenting has no manual, why she had to completely let go of control, and how an unexpected walk on opposite sides of the street during COVID-19 slowly brought them back together.Tune in for a comforting conversation on how to stop abandoning yourself while waiting for others to change, how to love someone while holding firm boundaries, and how to find peace within your own healing journey.TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro 0:54 Grieving someone who is still alive 2:10 Growing up with a father struggling with mental health 4:06 A warning from the spiritual realm before his passing 5:44 Navigating the complicated feeling of relief in loss 8:42 Only healing others to the depth of your own healing 9:24 The painful reality of parent child estrangement 10:44 Surviving the dark night of the soul 12:56 Parenting without a manual and admitting our mistakes 14:54 How COVID forced an unexpected path to reconciliation 16:48 Releasing control and letting them go in order to grow 18:44 Learning to love someone while keeping your boundaries NEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAYWelcome to The Healing Circle podcast, a grounded and soulful space for a healing journey through real-life conversations.

Listener note: This episode explores the deeply personal roots of unhealthy attachments and childhood trauma. The content may be activating for those who have experienced domestic or family-related trauma. Please listen with care, and feel free to pause, step away, or return when it feels supportive for you.Christine dives deep into the "energetic golden cords" that bind us to others and the childhood origins of unhealthy attachments. Drawing from her own journey of seeking validation outside her family home following her father's mental health struggles and physical abuse, your host explains why we often cling to people who make us feel anxious rather than celebrated.You will learn that an attachment isn't just about a person - it’s a survival strategy and a nervous system loop your body uses to feel safe. Christine provides five gentle, actionable steps to begin shifting from a state of "clinging" to a state of internal safety, helping you release the fantasy of what a relationship could be and embrace the reality of what it is.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro00:50 Why we give ourselves away to others02:15 The Golden Cord: Protecting your energetic exchange04:20 Is it love or a nervous system loop?06:10 Christine’s Story: Trauma and the search for external validation09:20 Regulate before you react: How to interrupt the loop11:30 Mirror work and meeting your own needs14:40 The Truth Bomb: Losing the fantasy to find real safetyNEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAYWelcome to The Healing Circle podcast, a grounded and soulful space for a healing journey through real-life conversations.

Listener note: In this episode, I share my personal experiences with parental mental health struggles, including my father's manic depression and schizophrenia. I also discuss the exhausting cycle of emotional suppression, burnout, and the numbness that can follow deep grief. Please listen with care and feel free to pause or return when you feel supported.Doing everything right but still feeling stuck is a common hurdle on the healing journey. In this first solo episode of Season 2, the conversation shifts to why awareness alone was not enough to change my life. Years of simply surviving while balancing a business and four children left me internally exhausted and unable to switch off.Navigating the reality of my relationship with my father revealed that while talk therapy provides powerful wisdom, the body and nervous system can still feel the same. Experiences live in our energy, and discovering shamanic healing became the missing piece to release what was finally understood. This episode dives into the process of Soul Retrieval to reclaim pieces of yourself lost to trauma and rediscover your joy.TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro0:51 First solo episode of season 21:42 Why you still feel stuck2:43 My story of grief and survival4:55 Why awareness is not enough6:59 The four areas of healing8:54 Nature and frequency10:51 Channelling life force energy12:58 Gaining a higher perspective15:01 Regulating your nervous system17:20 Understanding Soul Retrieval19:13 Closing and next steps NEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAYWelcome to The Healing Circle podcast, a grounded and soulful space for a healing journey through real-life conversations.

Listen with care, and feel free to pause, step away, or return when it feels supportive for you.Guest Daniela Stiegler shares her raw and powerful story of personal transformation. After facing a life-altering accident that left her in a wheelchair and a heart failure diagnosis triggered by high-level career stress, Daniela reached a turning point. Despite living what looked like a "fairytale life" on the outside - complete with a high-flying sales career and a glamorous marriage - she realized she was falling apart on the inside.Hear how Daniela began deconstructing the voices of past generations and the "middle child syndrome" that led her to prioritize others' comfort over her own needs. She recounts her journey from being a "boss bitch" high-achiever to embracing a "soft life" and becoming a nomad of the world. Daniela describes her spiritual and emotional evolution, including healing the mother wound, understanding feminine cycles, and ultimately founding The Unicorn Sanctuary to empower other women to choose bliss over discomfort.TIMESTAMPS00:50 Intro: Meeting in Morocco02:08 Reflecting on a 10-year journey02:50 Loyalty and the "middle child"04:20 Family pressure and role models05:23 Career burnout and the wheelchair06:40 Health as a forced "slow down"07:22 Healing the mother wound08:43 Dissecting the inner critic10:13 The discomfort of "fitting in"11:20 Masculine vs. feminine energy12:20 History of women’s financial rights14:50 Rebalancing relationship dynamics16:45 Choosing the "soft life" at home18:50 Cyclical living and the 9-to-520:50 Overcoming "mommy guilt"22:40 How men can hold safe space24:30 Power of female sounding boards26:10 Turning rage into breakthroughs27:50 Life as a global nomad29:20 Creating The Unicorn Sanctuary31:10 Final wisdom: Choose blissNEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAYWelcome to The Healing Circle podcast, a grounded and soulful space for a healing journey through real-life conversations.

The content, particularly accounts of isolation, rejection, and childhood trauma, may be activating. Please listen with care, and feel free to pause, step away, or return when it feels supportive for you.Host Christine Higgins welcomes her long-time friend Angie for a deep dive into the messy, beautiful reality of a spiritual awakening. Both women began their careers in the makeup industry, but their paths converged again as they transitioned from the "party scene" into the world of psychotherapy, Reiki, and holistic healing.Angie shares her raw journey of sobriety, which began in 2021, and the "grieving process" that followed as she shed the identity of the "party girl." She discusses the painful reality of losing friendship groups when you stop people-pleasing and start setting boundaries. From her "Divorce Course" psychotherapy training to her first profound (and surprisingly sleepy) Ayahuasca experience, Angie illustrates how the real healing happens not in the ceremony, but in the daily integration and awareness.Hear how Angie navigated the pressures of being a single mother while healing her own nervous system and how she finally found compassion for her parents by unearthing eight generations of ancestral trauma rooted in the Northern Ireland "Troubles." This episode is a powerful reminder that while the path of awakening can be isolating, it is the only way to truly "shed the skin" of the past.
