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. 🤍

Choice, Voice, and the Nervous System: Rebuilding Self-Trust from the Inside Out
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever said yes to something that made sense logically — only to feel resentment, exhaustion, or frustration hit later?
In this episode, Christina explores the hidden cost of saying yes when your body is asking for no, and how learning to listen to your nervous system restores choice, self-trust, and personal power.
Through two real-life stories — one rooted in overgiving at work and another in staying present through emotional activation in relationship — Christina shares how awareness, breath, and embodiment create space for different choices, even when old patterns resurface.
This conversation is for the woman who:
- has done a lot of inner work but still overgives sometimes
- struggles to rest without guilt
- feels activated when trying to say no
- wants to trust her body instead of overriding it
- is healing people-pleasing and survival patterns
Rather than pushing for perfection, this episode offers a compassionate reminder:
healing doesn’t mean you never overgive again — it means you notice sooner.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
- why overgiving is often a nervous system response, not a mindset issue
- how self-trust is rebuilt through awareness and breath
- the difference between suppression and regulation
- why feelings aren’t the problem — avoiding them is
- how choice, voice, and embodiment restore safety
- what it looks like to stay present during emotional activation
