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. 🤍

Is This Relationship Serving Me — or Am I Just Surviving It? | Safety, Self-Trust & Coming Home to Yourself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever been in a relationship that didn’t look that bad on the outside — but felt exhausting, confusing, or heavy on the inside?
In this episode of Loving Your Life Again, Christina explores a gentler, more embodied question than “Is this relationship toxic?” or “Should I leave?”
Do I feel safe being myself here?
This conversation is for women who feel stuck in self-doubt, people-pleasing, or emotional exhaustion — especially those who learned to override their bodies to keep the peace.
Rather than jumping to labels or decisions, this episode invites you to slow down, listen to your body, and begin rebuilding self-trust through awareness and nervous system safety.
You’ll learn:
- Why many women don’t recognize unhealthy dynamics while they’re inside them
- How your nervous system prioritizes familiarity over wellbeing
- What “safety in the body” actually means (without forcing calm or bypassing emotions)
- Gentle reflection questions to help you notice patterns without pressure
- How awareness creates choice — and choice restores power
This episode also introduces the January theme inside the Breath of Renewal Circle: Safety First, where we explore healing through the body, mind, and spirit — slowly, safely, and together.
Key Topics Covered
- Emotional safety vs. logical justification in relationships
- People-pleasing, self-abandonment, and bracing
- Nervous system responses to chronic stress
- Why awareness comes before clarity
- How to begin listening to your body again
