About Christine Passo:
Christine Passo is the founder and President of a personal life coaching business, writer, and host of the Unconscious Evolution show. I spent years untangling the pain of living a life that didn’t align with who I truly was. For a long time, I felt like I was standing still while life kept moving around me. I told myself I should be grateful, that I should have figured it all out by now. But deep down, I felt lost—disconnected from the person I used to be, uncertain of where I was going, and afraid that maybe this was just how life would feel from now on. But I learned: I wasn’t stuck. I was in the process of becoming. I realized my pain didn’t have to hold me back. I knew I was worthy of healing and emotional freedom, and so are you.
Through my unique approach of feeling and healing versus chasing happiness, I'll guide you from feeling stuck to living a life filled with ambition and possibility. Whether you’re grieving a lost opportunity or seeking to reclaim your sense of self, I will help you navigate your healing journey with compassion and provide tools so you can move forward with confidence and purpose.
