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. 🤍

Safety First: Why Healing Starts in the Body (Not a “New You”)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There’s a lot of “new year, new you” messaging this time of year — and if that’s ever made you feel like you’re broken or behind, this episode is for you.
In today’s episode of Loving Your Life Again, we’re starting the year with one simple but powerful focus: safety first.
You don’t need to become someone new.
You didn’t fail at healing.
You adapted to what felt safest at the time.
Your nervous system’s job is to keep you safe — and it does that by sticking with what it already knows, even when those patterns no longer serve you.
In this episode, I explain (in very simple language):
- what “safety in the body” actually means
- why healing doesn’t start with mindset alone
- how survival patterns form — and how we gently come out of them
- why body, mind, and spirit all matter in healing
- what we’ll be exploring together this month inside the Breath of Renewal Circle
This is a grounding, gentle conversation for anyone who feels tired of surviving and ready to begin coming home to themselves — at a pace that actually feels safe.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why you don’t need a “new you” — just reconnection to who you already are
- How your nervous system decides what feels safe
- Why familiar patterns can feel safer than healthy ones
- What “finding safety in your body” really means
- How healing involves body, mind, and spirit (not just positive thinking)
- Why awareness + tools help you return to safety when life feels overwhelming
This Episode Is For You If…
- You feel stuck in survival mode
- You’ve done mindset work but still feel dysregulated
- You’re healing from toxic or emotionally abusive relationships
- You feel disconnected from your body or emotions
- You want healing explained in a simple, compassionate way
Starting the Year with Safety First
Inside the Breath of Renewal Circle, January’s theme is Finding Safety in the Body.
Together we’ll explore:
- what safety feels like physically
- how safety shows up emotionally
- how to feel grounded spiritually
- and how to return to safety when old patterns get activated
