Can you believe this is the third time that my soulful friend, Christine Hassler, has been on Earn Your Happy? I love having her on because every time we talk something always opens up for me and there are at least one or two a-ha moments.

Once an overachiever, Christine shares how she shifted this compensatory strategy and used it to create multiple books and now her Over It and On with It Course.

Regardless of where you are, I know Christine’s perspective will help you view your obstacles and the emotional ties to them in a whole new light.
