Today I have the absolute honor to talk with the amazing Christine Hassler. She is the best-selling author of Expectation Hangover, the 20 Something Manifesto, and 20 Something, 20 Everything. She left her successful job as a Hollywood agent to pursue a life she could be passionate about. For over a decade, as a speaker, retreat facilitator, spiritual psychologist and life coach, and host of the top-rated podcast “Over It and On With It,” she has been teaching and inspiring people around the world. Christine believes once we get out of our own way, we can show up to make the meaningful impact we are here to make.
Christine takes us back to her extremely successful Hollywood days which were also an eye opening pivotal time in her life. At the ripe old age of 25, she was already making a 6-figure salary and from the outside looking in, it looked pretty much picture perfect. Christine had the boyfriend, the fancy clothes and shoes, fancy LA apartment and office, the list goes on. But there was something missing… a little word we like to call happiness.
Thinking that resigning would be the answer to all of her problems, she decided to take a leap of faith and leave behind her high paying job.
“I heard stories about people taking leaps of faith and how everything just get’s better. No one talks about the free fall after taking that leap of faith.”
Free falling for awhile, Christine found herself at the lowest of lows. With piles of debt, being estranged from her family, hearing the results of an auto-immune disorder and being dumped by her then fiancé, just 6 months before the wedding, things couldn’t get much worse.
But as many would say, once you hit rock bottom you can only go up from there. Luckily, as smart as she is, and after a long, hard look at her life, Christine took these times as pivotal changing moments.
“Fame, money and power are not the key to happiness.”
Determined and on a mission to find true passion in her career and life, fast forward with us as Christine shares all the detours, ins and outs and last but certainly not least, all of her astonishing accomplishments.
