Description
In this raw and unfiltered solo episode, Christine opens up about her "f**k it all" week amidst unrest in her native Ireland. She shares her poem criticising the government, while calling for unity. Christine also talks about the difficulty in building a business, and why we have to learn to lean into life's ups and downs to make progress. CHRISTINE REVEALS Why she felt conflicted addressing civil unrest in Ireland from afar. Why Ireland's reactive government holds a lot of responsibility for social divisions. Why we need to promote connection, not blame. Why perfectionism was hindering her.  Her recent struggles.  Her lifelong dream.  Her goals for the future including refocusing on her teaching business. BEST MOMENTS "I'm having a bit of a f*** it week. Have you ever had one of those weeks where you're just like, f*** it all?" "We consistently do it because the world has built organisations and careers and goals and motivations around people doing what they believe they're supposed to do." "Sometimes you have to turn over, lie flat on your back, and flow with the current." "Let Ireland find that love again. Connect with each other. Let's not have any more of this civil unrest."
