What happens when you finally attract the relationship you've been manifesting — yet part of you feels like pulling away? In this powerful coaching session, Christine works with Amy, who has called in an emotionally attuned, stable, loving partner after six years of being single. The catch: he has two children, which had always been a non-negotiable for her.

Christine helps Amy uncover how her fear isn't really about the kids — it's about control, certainty, and the vulnerability of allowing love to arrive in an unexpected package. Together, they explore how protector parts attempt to maintain safety when life doesn't unfold according to the plan, and how real love invites us out of control and into trust.

If you've ever received exactly what you wanted but still felt unsettled, this episode will help you see where fear is masquerading as intuition — and how to shift from protecting your heart to opening it.

Consider / Ask Yourself:

Have you ever gotten what you wanted, only to feel uneasy or doubtful afterward?
Do you equate safety with certainty and control?
Are you focusing on what you might lose instead of what you can give?
Do you feel afraid to fully say yes to something because you can't predict the outcome?

Key Insights and A-HAs:

Fear often disguises itself as intuition when control feels threatened.
Uncertainty is not danger — it's the doorway to love and expansion.
Relationships that stretch us emotionally are invitations into abundance, not scarcity.
A partner's capacity for love often expands through parenthood.
You cannot love fully while keeping one foot out the door.

How to Deepen the Work:

Notice when your mind jumps to "what's next" instead of being present.
Ask yourself whether your concerns come from fear or from your heart.
Shift from "What am I getting?" to "How can I give love here?"
Practice owning your yes instead of lingering in emotional hesitation.
Allow yourself to experience love without guarantees.
