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. 🤍

Boundaries, Codependency, and Losing Yourself: How to Start Trusting Your Signals Again
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Boundaries. Codependency. Losing yourself.
These aren’t personality flaws — they’re survival strategies.
In this deeply personal and grounding episode of Loving Your Life Again, Christina weaves together lived experience, nervous system wisdom, and gentle practical guidance to explore how so many of us slowly disappear inside relationships — and how to begin finding our way back.
You’ll hear:
- Why you don’t lose yourself all at once (it happens in tiny moments of self-abandonment)
- What boundaries actually are — and why they don’t work if your nervous system doesn’t feel safe enough to hold them
- How codependency isn’t about being “too nice,” but about organizing your identity around other people’s needs
Christina also shares a powerful personal story about trying to “set boundaries” in an unsafe relationship — and the moment she realized that boundaries aren’t just words or agreements… they’re something your body has to be able to hold.
This episode includes a gentle guided somatic and visualization practice to help you reconnect with yourself, imagine what it might feel like to truly love your life again, and identify one small, compassionate next step you can take.
✨ If you’ve ever asked yourself:
- “Why do I keep abandoning myself?”
- “Why do I know better, but still can’t seem to hold the line?”
- “How did I lose myself in this relationship?”
…this episode is for you.
🧭 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- The real definition of boundaries (and why they’re about what you allow, not controlling others)
- How codependency develops as a survival strategy
- The subtle ways we give our power away over time
- Why self-abandonment feels safer than honesty when your nervous system is in survival
- How to begin rebuilding self-trust and self-connection
- Simple, compassionate first steps toward coming back to yourself
