Life can throw us some serious curve balls at times. Some so unique that it can be hard to feel that anyone could ever understand or that we could feel capable of moving through. Yet, if we came here to be an emotional Warrior, it's our Soul's plan to learn through challenging lessons. My guest this week, Kristina Gauthier, is one of those warriors with a very rich, powerful, and tragedy laden story. Kristina is a certified spiritual health and life coach. She thrives on creating a safe space where her clients can lean into their power and unlock their magic and medicine. Kristina guides her clients to heal their trauma and reconnect with their inner child, all while encouraging them to unapologetically speak their truth.
On this guest episode Kristina and I discuss the road through addiction that led us both to our Spiritual path, healing the Father wound, & learning to accept and celebrate all parts of ourselves. Kristina shares about being an intergenerational cycle breaker, breaking free from a lifestyle that unfortunately took the lives of both her late mother and sister. As a cycle breaker, Kristina talks about how her mission is to dive deep into the origins of her and her family's behaviors and root out unhealthy patterns. Despite facing tough challenges in lifetime , Kristina has consciously decided to work on herself and become the best version. As a result, she is using her journey to empower others to lean in, break toxic cycles and do the healing work.

Kristina's early years were far from picture-perfect; she was born into a family with a colossal amount of trauma on both her mother's and father’s sides. Throughout Kristina’s life, her late mother struggled with her drug addiction, and her dad is a well-known Hell Angel. After years of dating abusive men, struggling with her own drug addiction, and feeling deeply insecure and unworthy of love or life, she chose to invest in herself and heal. In 2017, Kristina's late sister died of a fentanyl overdose, and that’s when everything shifted for her. Despite where Kristina
came from, she chose to lean into her darkness till she found her light and rose above the ashes, making her the first to break the cycle within her lineage. Not only is Kristina the first to break the cycle, but she's now rewriting her lineage by showing up for herself and her late sisters’ two children differently than anyone has done before. Kristina is proof that regardless of what cards you were dealt with when you choose to come home to yourself and heal your trauma, you, too, can turn your life around and create the life you’ve always desired.

What is Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine?
My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions.
After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us.
Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals.
On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine
I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode,
If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!
