The Holy F/ck Moments Podcast

Hi friends. Dropping this short and sweet episode live on Christmas Eve. This is the first year of my marriage separation and my kids are with their Dad. It's been a weird and wonderful time and I am sharing a short riff on how and why I am actually ok, the importance of feeling your feelings and why I'm leaving 2023 in the past and deciding what I want to bring forward into the New Year. Time for some last minute wrapping, doordash and some journaling and reflection.

Sending so much love to you this holiday season, and to anyone transitioning your life, in a divorce, break up, separation etc it can be a wild, triggering, yet transformative time to be with yourself and cultivate a deep and loving relationship.

If you found this helpful, please share, DM me on IG HERE, or email me at christine@christinebanno.com  and let me know any takeaways or how you are navigating any changes. Also, if you are into live coaching on the podcast give me a holler xx

Lots of love,

Christine

Hi friends.. this morning I was standing on the dock on a pristine lake in Whistler and I asked my soul what she would have me know.. I heard this.. "get back to basics, and celebrate everything". I walked back towards my car and heard "turn around.. go back to the dock and share this with people", so here I am.. sharing with you, my amazing community. I hope something in there resonates for you, as it did for me 💛.

In this episode, I sit down with Brooke Jean, a therapist, recovering perfectionist & busy working Mom on a mission to normalize normal and love life, unPERFECTED.

Brooke is a MF Firecracker (and recent SOUL SISTER of mine) who shares her deep, raw story of life in 2012 when she was 33 and had a unexpected spiritual awakening after being so close (physically, mentally and emotionally) to the trauma of the Aurora Theatre Shooting in Colorado, where she lost a work team member. That started the beginning of so many pivots toward her healing, purpose and magic!

THIS WOMAN IS MF MAGIC 🤌🏼

⚡️YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS EPISODE.⚡️

We also cover:

• How she left her successful career in corporate America to follow her dreams and how she navigated that scary AF change.
• The story we collectively are fed, that success is linear (even if we are burnout and unhappy) and how we can find freedom on the other side of perfection.
• How we both learnt to sit with uncomfortable emotions, our inner child and angry "teen" AND the ability to re-parent ourselves is the real MF flex in life and creates a happy healthy human.
• How to navigate the VOID - that F'd up space that comes when you ditch the past, but not yet anchored in your future "you".
• How our soul is always calling us back home if we are willing to dissolve our limiting bullshit and listen to our intuition.
• How her journey had to weave the way it did - how to trust the process when you feel like life is F*cked and your world is imploding.

• How to navigate the VOID - that F'd up space that comes when you ditch the past, but not yet anchored in your future "you".
• How "Spirit/Universe" told her in a breathwork session that she would be closing her business and how she has learnt to trust the nudges she gets and not resist.

I just got served a humble lesson(s) from my 18-Month-Old baby at the playground. 

#1 Just F*cking do it and stop overthinking

#2 Repition leads to self-mastery.

A few weeks ago at the park, I watched Mia approach the "rolly slide" (IKYK) with extreme caution. Looking at me like "F ma.. can I do what those big kids are doing??" 

I guess curiousty won, as she accessed her courage by walking her cute butt up there, proceeded to go down 487x (getting more and more confident each time), which reminded me of how much we have to learn and gain from watching our little ones follow their natural instincts.

How often do we as adults approach a fork in the road - desiring to engage with something new, and then either talk ourselves out of it due to fear of the unknown, rejection or looking like an idiot, when all we really need to do it access 5sec of insane courage, take messy action, repeat said action until we master it, and get better and better at it, (which leads to our inevitable success).

Yowza! What do you think? Wild right? Have you learnt lessons from your kids? Tell me!!!

Hi friends..I am going to be brutally honest..  tonight I feel some old ass patterns creeping in.. overwhelming feelings, like I want to jump out of my skin, like I want to overeat, like I want to doom scrool and distractttttttttt (aka avoid what I'm feeling). I felt like a psyco. Like a bag of shit. This doesn't happen nearly as often as it used to, but every so often I have a good ring dinger moment. Over time I have come up with a wicked tool box to help me in these moments so the hamster wheel of dispair momentum doesn't take me on a joyride 🐹🤣.

I want to share these with you in case they might be helpful. 

I feel like it is important to share this, as it's super easy to show up when things are working and it's easy, but sometimes it isn't.. it's hard.. and that's ok.. it's not about what happens, it's how we respond.

In this episode I sit down for a very real and raw conversation with Ilana Worsham, a brave woman who had a MASSIVE WAKE UP moment that led her to leave a 20+ year marriage with  what she calls a "classic narcissist".  She got a divorce, got her kids on track, and lost sixty pounds. She also took control of her finances and is now in a much better place where she can reflect on how her codependent state got her into this mess (and kept her there for so long)

⚡️YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS EPISODE.⚡️

We also cover:

* How her childhood experiences shaped her beliefs about herself, and how she was taught to take care of everyone else and not to shine too brightly. This led to bypassing her own inner knowing.

*How growing up with a narcissistic father led to her attracting that type of man in her adult relationships (the pattern showing up to be healed).

* Tools and tips to manage the many challenging transitions life brings (these are helpful for everyone!)

* Her darkest hour and how she finally woke up to the disfunction that was real and rampant in her relationship.

* The importance of protecting and making all children feel loved and important, especially during times of chaos or change.

* The importance of tending to the body, and the energy stored within it, in order to heal from trauma and move forward in life.

*Finally, they discuss the idea of finding oneself after experiencing a period of loss, and the concept of addiction and how it can manifest in different ways

Friends!!! Have you ever said "I'm tired, I don't have time, I'm overwhelmed" yet found time to watch 47 funny cat videos on IG or Tik Tok?? #yupppp

Here I share a riff, sparked off a conversation I had this morning with a former client, fellow mama, entrepreneur and wicked friend. We were laughing at ourselves and calling ourselves out for our excuse of "I don't have enough time" yet our iPhone calls us out when we get our screen time report 😬.

Often we have great intentions, but have trouble implementing.. why? In this mini episode, I share some tools and techniques that you can impliment now, AND share some insights into how to have more self awareness and how to make change and align our actions with what we are intending to call in.

Team… our thoughts are the real FAKE NEWS 🗞️😱. ⁣ ⁣ Ok, ok play with me here.

Science shows our thoughts are repetitive, cyclical, automatic, often unconscious, so could it be true that often what we think (I’m not speaking about that intuitive voice) but the narrator that lives inside your head just maayyybeeeee is feeding you a highlight real of fake news everyday?

Just a very limited read out based upon wheat you’ve experienced to date, what you see yourself as capable of, and usually the ideas that are familiar and destined to keep you locked in a trance of mediocrity? ⁣ ⁣

I for years never questioned what was going through my mind. Whether it was true, whether it was desired, hell whether I even had a choice.. these thoughts and these narratives were coming from deep, rooted, disempowered belief system(s) that were formed based on my earliest childhood experiences. ⁣ ⁣

These were not the thoughts rooted in expansion, or my limitless, higher self. ⁣ ⁣So, could we play with the idea that may be everything we think isn’t real and it’s just a very limited set of ideas that are coming from the smaller parts of ourselves? ⁣ ⁣

Let me know what you think, did this land for you? Please DM me on IG HERE

or email me @ christine@christinebanno.com and share any of your ah-ha's and breakthroughs.

Here is the deets people!!! I know many of you have asked for me to spill the tea (is that still a cool phrase??) on the Dr. Joe Dispenza week long intensive so here it is. 

I also share updates on my current life and wtf is happening for me right now. I just sold one of my businesses and I have another massive transition happening which I wasn't sure I was going share, but f/ck it.

Basically I (let's be real ... the Universe) has been clearing house on anything that isn't in my highest alignment so I am fully in it, but in all honesty feeling more lit up and inspired than ever. I know in the depths of my soul, if I am going to teach and coach on transformation, expansion and aligning with our souls mission, I have to follow this path of radical trust, faith and follow the call and truth in my heart, even when the path isn't clear.

Cheers to all my fellow badass change-makers, rule-breakers and visionary entrepreneurs and creatives who are walking through the fire over and over again to step into your highest version.

Hi friends.. here is a raw, vulnerable mini riff on the concept of receiving, and how it can be SCARY AF. For most of my life, I didn't trust people or life, I saw myself as a victim and saw the world as a scary place. I really didn't let people in and see the real me, I didn't trust people to show up for me.

Well last Monday I had a special moment w/ my 1 year old on a walk that caused me to drop my armour and get curious around why it's so hard for us to receive from others (spoiler alert this ties deeply in w/ childhood, relationships and our ability to consiously manifest). 

As always, please let me know any takeaways or ah-ha's you had - it truly means the world to me!

Also, If you feel like someone could use this message, please help spread the love by sharing this to them or your family/friends/community.

Hi friends, here is a 20min riff about how to move through transitions (and expansion + contraction cycles) with more ease. Life can get crazy AF sometimes and we all go through intense times of change (desired or undesired) which can trigger fear and feeling unsafe in the  the void (the unfamiliar space between where we were (old job, relationship, etc) and where we're going.. OR who we've traditionally been and who we're becoming).

I share some of my favourite self-regulating practices that I use when I'm in that space to create more ease and flow and not allow myself to be swayed by the unhelpful and fearful thoughts that swoop in to protect me from perceived pain.

Hope you enjoy! Please share with me any takeaways or ah-ha's! I LOVE to hear from you. Shoot me a IG DM or email me christine@activatedaligned.com

In this episode, I sit down with Marika Richoz, an absolutely incredible woman who accessed an insane amount of courage when she quit her (soul sucking) day job and became a well-known and sought after chef after going to an underground restaurant while vacationing in Buenos Aires in 2009. 

⚡️YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS EPISODE.⚡️

We also cover:

* How during Marika's trip to Buenos Aires she found evidence that her real passion (cooking for people instead of being behind a desk) could exist outside of the traditional restaurant realm and how that evidence caused her to say "F it, I'm doing this, I'll figure it out".

* How she managed to overcome her fears and challenges of creating a new business and transitioning from a "secure" desk job to her true passion.

*We speak about navigating and overcoming imposter syndrome as a self-taught chef, especially while working for high profile celebrities in their homes. #yoloooooo

* We talk about how so often the fear of the unknown takes over and stop us from taking the action we know will set our souls on fire. We also talk about how to overcome it! #boom!

* How fast living in her truth, led her to the perfect opportunities and people and how the universe truly supports you when you are doing what you love. 

*How her and I are collaborating on an international retreat (be the first to knowwww by DM'ing me "ABUNDANCE RETREAT 2023" on IG HERE, OR email christine@activatedaligned.com xx

Friends.. here is a 15 mini riff about being brave, cutting the shit, and FINALLY stepping into the life that is calling you. So often we unconsiously hold ourselves back, and we all have our own sneaky deaky ways we do it. WTF Why? Everything we desire to create or build is sitting in the unknown (what we haven't experienced before) which to our mind/nervous system/bodies = unsafe. This is why we often sit on GOLDMINES.. Ideas, gifts, messages, books, podcasts, soul-led businesses, creations, OR the fully lit lives that are in total alignment with our souls (but not our ego and conditioning). These are the lives that we originally set out to design when we hit this earth plane, but along the way, we got got lost and put up mounds of armour to protect ourselves from being hurt, rejected or feeling not good enough. Can you tell I'm already getting fired up as I write this 🤣. Ok.. just have a listen.. let me know what you think.. where do you hold yourself back?? What excuses do you have?? Share them with me!! I want to know if this resonated with you!

 It's time to say yes to life.

Friends.. here is a 13 min riff on Accountability. F/ck it hit me during a workout class last week at the gym when one of my amazing instructors asked us to do partner work during cardio. At first I was like fakkk I'm not in the mood, but holy did it ever light a fire under my ass to work hard, step into my strength and push outside of my comfort zone. This got me thinking about how pivotal accountabililty is on our journey and how our chances of actualizing our dreams and what's outside of our comfort zone massively amplifies and increases when others are helping us along the way (especialy during the crunchy parts).

Hope you enjoy! Please share with me any takeaways or ah-ha's! I LOVE to hear from you. Shoot me a IG DM or email me christine@activatedaligned.com

Friends.. here is a 9 min riff on permission slips. F/ck is it just me, or have you spent a lot of your life outsourcing your power and waiting on some mysterious permission slip to arrive for you to live you life full out?  From a very young age we are programmed to ask for permission, to be told we can or can't do something, to have some authority figure say yes you can do this, yes you are worthy or give us some kind of blessing to pass go, collect our $200 and live a life we actually freakin love.
