New Wayz Podcast
The mental health and wellness podcast that’s as real as it gets — with a little humor and a lot of heart. I’m Christina Pehr, a certified life coach and registered nurse, sharing unfiltered stories, fresh perspectives, and lived experiences to help us grow, heal, and show up as our best selves. This is a no-judgment zone where we explore everything from emotional well-being to physical health, mindset shifts, and finding joy in life’s messiness. Sometimes it’s just me, sometimes guests join with their own insights. My goal? To make mental health feel approachable, relatable, and even a little fun, while giving you tools you can actually use.

The Real Cost of Settling (and Why It’s Blocking Everything You Want)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m talking about why we settle for less — even when we know it’s not what we want.
We unpack where settling really comes from: fear, conditioning, survival patterns, and the belief that wanting more makes us ungrateful or unrealistic. But what we don’t talk about enough is what settling actually costs us — emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and long-term.
Sometimes settling feels temporary. Sometimes it feels practical. Sometimes it feels like the “smart” choice. But more often than not, settling quietly blocks the very thing we’re asking the universe for.
This episode is about recognizing when compromise turns into self-abandonment — and how to move forward without settling, without forcing, and without betraying yourself in the process.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, bored, disconnected, or like your life doesn’t match your potential — this conversation is for you.
