Christin’s journey
from ‘living’ for Others to living Her Life
Today, Christin is a Psychologist (MSc), Hypnosis Coach, and global citizen since 2016. She passionately supports high-achievers in releasing their emotional blocks, uncovering their purpose with confidence, and creating a life on their own terms, filled with joy, vitality, and freedom.
it hasn’t always been this way…
Christin's life began in a small village in Germany, where she grew up before moving to the big city to study Psychology and later Cognitive-Affective Neuroscience. For the most part, her life was determined by the concept — study hard, work hard, to eventually finally retire and ‘enjoy’ the last years that would be left.
During her studies, she faced many challenges. She struggled with the years-long distance relationship to her partner, intense anxiety, and the self-imposed pressure to always live up to society's expectations, which left her feeling exhausted, unfulfilled, and empty.
‘Once I had my bachelor’s degree in Psychology, It felt like having ticked off just another ‘To-Do’ on my socially appropriate career path to prove my worth.’
Eventually, Christin took a gap year with her partner, both craving a reset. They decided to fly to the other side of the world, New Zealand, to get out of their comfort zones, work on themselves, and explore what lies beyond what they had called ‘life’ up until that point. It was during this time that Christin felt true freedom and independence for the very first time in her life. However, after 10 months of freedom, the bubble of their dream burst the moment they were back in Germany…
‘I was so afraid to put my master’s on hold and allow myself a break, what would others think?! It turned out to be the best decision I ever made!’
Coming back to Germany to study Neuroscience and get a Master’s degree seemed to be the next ‘logical’ step. It wasn’t until the couple was back in the city that they fully realized how everything had changed on so many levels.
It felt like Christin’s body was back in Germany, while her soul was left behind in the mountains of New Zealand. Both would rather have just quit and taken back their decisions. However, that was not possible. Everything was planned long before. What would everyone think of them anyway?! So they tried to convince themselves that it wouldn't be forever, that it would take only two years for Christin to finish her studies, and that they could be free again.
‘I USED TO THINK THAT HARD WORK and PERSISTENCE WERE EVERYTHING.’
‘It’s a tough pill to swallow when you realize that the life you’ve worked so hard for isn’t what you truly want. The career I Pursued so eagerly no longer felt aligned.‘
It didn’t take two years. After about 6 months of being back, Christin’s grandpa died unexpectedly, which made her question everything and rethink her life's path. Suddenly, life felt so much more precious, and wasting it, striving for something Christin wasn't sure she still wanted, felt wrong. Things were put into perspective.
Amid all this, she realized that the life she was working so hard for didn't match her true desires any longer. All she wanted was freedom while she felt stuck in a cage.
Contrary to what everyone else thought, Christin refused to accept that New Zealand was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Her burning desire for change helped her to make it happen. She went back to the other side of the world, where suddenly everything made sense to her. It was there that Christin discovered her passion for coaching.
After learning all she could, deepening her knowledge later in Finland, she finished her Master’s. She knew 100% she wouldn't fit into a conventional 9-5 job, so she went all in on her dream and started her own coaching business.
The challenges that followed along with being her own boss led her to go down an even deeper path of self-discovery and deep healing. Over the past 10+ years Christin had tried so many different things to heal and accept herself, or make peace with the past.
After working so hard on herself for years on end she realized that everything she had tried, reduced the struggles a little bit, admitting that the old patterns on a deep level still showed up, leading to self-sabotage and a spiralling mind.
Hypnosis was the missing piece that set her free from her old programming.
She achieved changes she had worked toward for over a decade in just a few sessions. She says, ‘I know what it feels like when you’re trying to convince yourself that you love yourself while nothing you do feels ever good enough, and I know how it feels to finally have released that burden.’ Within a matter of weeks, she gained a quality of life she didn’t even know existed and was missing out on for so long.
Christin says: ‘I believe that to be able to master the ebbs and flows of entrepreneurship (and of life in general!), we need a strong foundation: we need to love ourselves, feel that we are more than good enough, be able to trust ourselves to show up confidently in our true authenticity, and be responsible and brave enough to bring our vision to life.
This is the foundation.
Now, unfortunately, the majority of us didn’t grow up this way. The good news is, though, no matter the circumstances, you can heal and change right now. It only takes three steps:
Step 1: Become aware of the pattern.
Step 2: Understand why it’s there.
Step 3: Dissolve it at the root (i.e., on a subconscious level).
Once that’s done, we can simply be ourselves, express that into the world, and create the dream life we are here to live (because there is no resistance anymore!).
Being brave enough to look at my blindspots and work through them in the most effective way possible has enabled me to now facilitate change for other high-achievers, and witnessing their growth, seeing them coming out on the other side — smiling, confident, ready to hit their goals — is magical and simply beyond words every time.’
‘affirmations, vision boards, journaling, and reading every potential personal development book on this planet are fun but only get you so far.’
Today, she uses her experiences and knowledge to support other high-achievers on their journeys as they face inner challenges and create lives on their own terms. Christin's journey is a testament to the power of self-discovery and resilience. It's proof that it's possible to redefine one's life and reach one's highest potential when you have a burning desire for ‘more,’ no matter what challenges you face.
