Loving Your Life Again | Toxic Relationship Recovery & Nervous System Healing For Women Ready to Heal
Loving Your Life Again is a warm, honest, and deeply grounded podcast for women who are still inside a toxic, emotionally abusive, or addiction-affected relationship — or who have just found their way out — and are finally ready to stop surviving and start healing for real. Hosted by Christina Sommers, trauma-informed breathwork facilitator and somatic coach, this show offers clarity, nervous system tools, and the kind of real talk that actually meets you where you are — so you can find your way back to yourself, your faith, and the life you were always meant to love.
If you're exhausted from carrying everything and everyone, if you feel stuck but can't quite name why, or if you've tried the five-step resets and nothing has actually stuck — this podcast was made for you. Whether you're walking on eggshells around his moods, quietly enabling an addiction you never signed up for, or holding a marriage together while slowly disappearing inside it — you are not alone, and you are not crazy. With story-first teaching, embodied healing tools, and conversations rooted in faith, each episode is designed to help you feel less alone, more grounded in your own body, and one breath closer to real peace.
Christina has walked her own journey through toxic relationship, addiction, and survival mode — all the way to wholeness — and she brings that lived experience into every single episode, alongside twenty years of grounded, practical wisdom.
What you'll hear:
- Real conversations about toxic relationships, narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, and loving an addicted spouse
- Nervous system healing, breathwork, and somatic tools you can actually use
- Faith-rooted healing for the woman who's been wrestling with God in the middle of her pain
If you're asking any of these questions, you're in the right place:
- Is this even abuse if he doesn't hit me?
- Is it okay to leave if my husband is an addict — what does God say about that?
- Why do I feel so crazy — and why can't I trust myself anymore?
- Will I ever feel like myself again?
This is the podcast for when you're done performing peace and ready to find the real thing. Tune in — and take the next breath back to loving your life. 🤍

Why Do We Lose Joy While Doing the Work?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As we close out the year, many of us feel the pull to push harder, do more, and prepare for what’s next. But what if the most powerful thing you could do right now… is pause?
In this episode of Loving Your Life Again, Christina shares an honest reflection on what happens when healing and personal growth become too serious — and how the body gently calls us back to joy.
Drawing from her own experience completing a major season of work, Christina explores how easy it is to slip into productivity mode and quietly abandon self-care without realizing it. Through breathwork and somatic awareness, she reconnects with the truth that release doesn’t require understanding — the body already knows how to let go.
This episode is especially timely as we move through the final New Moon of the year in Sagittarius, a moment that invites big-picture reflection, truth-telling, and intention setting for the year ahead. Energetically, we’re also closing a cycle of deep shedding and preparing to step into a season of forward momentum — making it essential to release what no longer belongs before moving ahead.
Rather than forcing clarity or breakthroughs, Christina reminds us that joy, safety, and presence are practices — not rewards we earn later.
If you’ve been feeling tired, serious, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, this episode offers a gentle reframe and an embodied invitation to come back home to yourself.
In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
- Why we often lose joy while “doing the work”
- How productivity can quietly override self-care
- Why breathwork and somatic practices don’t require knowing what you’re releasing
- The power of letting go without forcing an outcome
- How joy and play help regulate the nervous system
- Why this New Moon is a potent time for release and intention
- How to prepare for momentum without burning out
