What if truly knowing yourself could change everything?

In this episode of the Knowing Podcast, Christene Marie walks listeners through a personal exercise on self-awareness, encouraging them to pause, engage, and explore the connection between logic and emotion. She introduces three key steps in deep inner work: identifying the source of emotions, building a strong personal foundation, and taking action to change old patterns. She emphasizes the importance of truly knowing oneself and making space for both thought and feeling in decision-making.

Drawing from her life experiences—grief, loss, and relationship struggles—she shares how unprocessed emotions can quietly shape our lives. She challenges listeners to reflect on their own defining moments and take responsibility for their growth rather than falling into a victim mindset. The episode wraps up with a reminder to practice “vertical alignment” daily, making space for self-awareness amidst life’s distractions.
