Ep 9 - Christine Banno - Moving through Shadow to Embody Light

In today's episode, I chat with the incredible Christine Banno. Christine is an Intuitive Business Mentor. Christine helps entrepreneurs activate and align with their unique energetic blueprint and move the shadow so they can build a business that embodies their magic. I am so inspired by Christine's ability to tap fully into her intuition, her willingness to do the deep and often uncomfortable spiritual 'work' and her tenacity to go after what she feels is most aligned for her.

We chat about her journey through the 'chaotic' 20's to living aligned life with the business of her dreams. She shared the road that got her there was bumpy and full of rock bottom moments that propelled her into her 11 year journey with spirituality and personal development.

She describes her journey of self discovery as the journey 'home' where she transitioned out of what she calls the 'fog' of living life on other people's terms to one that is fully her own. She talked about 'defrosting' her body and nervous system which she believes became frozen at an early age due to bullying.

Christine talks about going into the depths of both shadow work and inner child reparenting, taking radical responsibility for her life, unhooking from the identity of a victim and stepping into her role as the creator of her life. She believes she had to walk this journey so she could help others do the same.

Here's what we chatted about:

Her journey through chaos, living in the fog and hitting multiple rock bottoms to opening up to a spiritual awakening and embarking on an 11 year journey of self-discovery to come home to herself.
