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. 🤍

What happens when your faith is the very thing making it hardest to choose yourself?
In this deeply personal episode, Christina — breathwork facilitator, somatic coach, and host of Loving Your Life Again — walks through one of the most tender and complex tensions women of faith face: staying in a difficult marriage because of God, vows, and the fear of what leaving means about who you are.
Christina shares her own story — a cross-country move on blind faith, a near-fatal car accident, and the night she cried out to God and finally heard something back — alongside a powerful reframe of the scripture that kept so many women (including herself) stuck. She also names what no one talks about: that leaving doesn't make it stop hurting, that your body keeps score long after the situation changes, and that "just pray harder" without the real work is spiritual bypassing.
In this episode, you'll walk away with:
- Permission to grieve — the marriage you wanted, the love that doesn't just switch off, even when leaving was right
- A different way to hold the verses that have felt like they were holding you captive
- The truth about free will, and why loving someone fully still couldn't save them for you
This episode is for you if your faith feels like both your greatest comfort and your heaviest weight right now.
