In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Christine Higgins, a soul coach, healer, and the founder of the award-winning Full Moon Healing Circle. With a unique blend of yoga, energy healing, and spiritual guidance, Christine helps women reconnect with their true selves, heal emotional wounds, and step into their power. Her journey from overcoming trauma and business burnout to creating a transformative healing space is nothing short of inspiring.
In a world that never seems to slow down, it's far too easy to become caught up in the chaos of daily life. The demands of work, family, and endless responsibilities leave little room for personal time, let alone healing.
However, we must recognise that true health extends beyond just our physical well-being. It encompasses emotional, mental, and spiritual harmony.
This holistic approach is vital, especially for women who often juggle multiple roles and responsibilities. Christine’s journey of healing, energy work, and personal growth offers powerful insights that can help us reconnect with ourselves, let go of guilt, and rediscover the peace and balance we all deserve.
The Power of Awareness: Becoming the Observer of Your Life
As someone who’s spent years in the fitness world, I’ve witnessed first-hand how easy it is to get caught in the grind of constantly “doing” rather than “being.”
Christine’s approach to life offers a refreshing perspective—one that focuses on becoming the observer of our thoughts and emotions, instead of letting them control us.
Life can often feel like a whirlwind, with everything happening at once. We absorb energy from others—our families, our colleagues, our friends. The challenge is, we may absorb more than we realise. This constant influx can leave us drained and disconnected from our own needs.
Christine encourages us to step back, take a deep breath, and observe our thoughts and feelings without judgment. By practising this awareness, we create space for healing and regain control over our energy.
Practical Tip: Try This Observation Exercise
The next time you feel overwhelmed, take a few moments to pause. Close your eyes and notice the sensations in your body. Tune into your breath. What are you feeling right now? Is there tension in your shoulders or a tightness in your chest? Without trying to change anything, simply observe. Notice the thoughts that arise, the emotions that surface. By becoming the observer, you empower yourself to take control and redirect your energy where it’s needed most.
Soul Coaching: Reconnecting with Your Inner Power
For many of us, self-discovery and personal growth can feel like an elusive goal. The truth is, it’s within us all, waiting to be unlocked. Christine’s work as a soul coach helps individuals rediscover their inner power and transform their lives from the inside out.
The key to this process is healing—not just on a superficial level, but on a deep, soul-nourishing level. Soul coaching involves peeling back layers of self-doubt, fear, and limiting beliefs, and replacing them with self-compassion, confidence, and inner strength.
Christine herself went through this transformative journey, especially after a personal health scare made her realise she had been ignoring her own well-being in the pursuit of success. “I was burnt out and didn’t realise it. It took a near life-threatening situation to wake me up to what I truly needed—balance,” she reflects.
Healing is a journey, and it’s not always easy. But with support and the right tools, anyone can make progress toward living a more authentic life.
Reflection Prompt: What’s Holding You Back?
Take a few moments to reflect on your life. Are there any areas where you’re holding yourself back due to fear or limiting beliefs? It could be in your career, relationships, or even in your own self-worth. Write down any thoughts that come up and explore what might be the root cause of these feelings. By acknowledging them, you can begin to release them and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose.
Healing Relationships: The Importance of Inner Work
One of the most powerful lessons Christine shares is the idea that healing isn’t just about fixing ourselves—it’s about creating healthier, more harmonious relationships with others.
For many, relationships—especially romantic ones—can become places of codependency, where one partner feels responsible for the other's happiness or well-being.
But real growth occurs when both individuals take responsibility for their own healing. This was something Christine realised during her own relationship. She and her husband had to work through their own individual issues to create a stronger, more supportive bond.
“When we heal ourselves, we create space for healing in our relationships,” she explains.
It’s a powerful reminder that personal healing contributes not only to our own growth but to the growth of those around us.
Practical Tip: Focus on Self-Healing in Your Relationships
If you’re in a relationship, ask yourself: Are there areas where I’m relying on my partner for validation or healing?
Try focusing on your own healing journey first, by nurturing your own needs, building self-love, and letting go of any dependence on others for emotional fulfilment. When both partners commit to this path, the relationship will naturally thrive.
Balancing the Masculine and Feminine Energies: A Path to Vitality
One of the key themes in Christine’s story is the importance of balancing masculine and feminine energies. In today’s fast-paced world, women often find themselves in the "masculine" energy of productivity, achievement, and relentless doing.
While these qualities are valuable, they can lead to burnout if they’re not balanced with nurturing, rest, and self-care—the essence of feminine energy.
Christine shares how, early in her business, she was deeply entrenched in the masculine energy of success. “I was doing, doing, doing, but I was losing touch with who I was. I forgot the importance of slowing down and nurturing myself,” she admits. It wasn’t until a health scare forced her to take a step back that she realised the importance of honouring her feminine energy.
As women, we don’t have to constantly prove ourselves through action. By embracing the feminine energy of stillness and trust, we can restore balance and vitality in our lives.
Practical Tip: Embrace Both Energies
Think about how you can bring more balance into your life. Are you pushing too hard in one area and neglecting another? Try incorporating both masculine and feminine practices into your daily routine.
For example, allow time for productivity and action (masculine) alongside practices that promote rest, self-compassion, and reflection (feminine).
Releasing Guilt and Embracing Self-Compassion
As women, many of us are conditioned to feel guilty when we take time for ourselves. The idea that we must always be “on” and constantly available to others can create immense pressure.
Christine’s message is simple but profound: Let go of the guilt.
“We are doing the best we can with what we have, and that is enough,” she says.
It’s easy to forget that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. In order to show up as our best selves for our loved ones and our careers, we need to prioritise our own well-being. Self-compassion is key to this process. The more we treat ourselves with kindness and understanding, the more we can extend those same qualities to others.
Practical Tip: Practice Self-Compassion
Whenever you feel guilty for taking time for yourself, try practising self-compassion. Take a few deep breaths and remind yourself that it’s okay to rest, recharge, and do things that nourish your soul. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer to a dear friend.
The Full Moon Healing Circle: Harnessing the Energy of Community
Christine’s Full Moon Healing Circle is one of her greatest achievements, bringing together thousands of people each month to meditate, release negative emotions, and connect with one another. The Full Moon is a powerful time for releasing what no longer serves us, and Christine’s circle is a beautiful way for people to gather, reset, and heal together.
What started as a small gathering on the beach has blossomed into a life-changing experience for many. The energy of the group, the ritual of the fire ceremony, and the shared intention of healing create a sacred space for transformation. “When we come together as a community, we amplify our collective energy,” Christine explains.
Practical Tip: Join a Healing Circle or Create Your Own
If you’re looking for a way to deepen your spiritual practice, consider joining a community circle like Christine’s. Whether in-person or online, there’s immense power in coming together with like-minded individuals for collective healing. If there isn’t a local circle near you, why not consider starting one yourself?
Looking Ahead: Expansion and Empowerment in 2025
Christine’s business and mission are continually evolving. As she expands her energy healing courses and deepens her connection to her own power, she encourages others to do the same. “2025 is going to be the year of expansion,” she shares. “It’s all about stepping into our full power and helping others do the same.”
Her message is one of empowerment, reminding us all that we are natural healers. The energy to heal, to grow, and to transform has always been within us. It’s just a matter of remembering it.
Final Thoughts: Your Journey of Healing Begins Now
Christine’s story is one of deep personal growth, overcoming fear, and embracing the full spectrum of our being. Whether through soul coaching, energy healing, or community, there are countless paths to healing and empowerment. The journey isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.
If you’re feeling inspired by Christine’s story, take a moment to reflect on your own life.
