  • From Burnout to Balance: Intuition, Recovery & Redefining Success with Christine
    What happens when life suddenly pulls the rug from under your feet? For Christine Manko, a breast cancer diagnosis followed by her employer's bankruptcy became the unexpected catalyst for profound transformation.Christine takes us through her journey from corporate burnout to authentic living, revealing how these simultaneous challenges forced her to pause and listen to her body's wisdom. Before her diagnosis, Christine was thriving in her role as a business psychologist, traveling internationally and managing client relationships. Yet beneath the surface, she was spreading herself too thin, ignoring crucial signals from her body.The enforced stillness of her recovery became a gateway to self-discovery. Through meditation, yoga, and connecting with nature, Christine developed a deeper relationship with her intuition—recognizing how it showed up as physical sensations, spontaneous insights, and inner knowing. This awareness helped her realize that returning to her previous corporate environment no longer aligned with who she'd become.Now certified as a life coach, Christine helps corporate professionals break free from cycles of busyness and overwhelm by honoring their unique rhythms. She shares practical wisdom about discovering when you're naturally most creative or analytical and structuring your day accordingly—even within corporate constraints. Her refreshing approach challenges the mainstream "hustle culture" by emphasizing that balance looks different for everyone.Perhaps most powerful is Christine's observation that personal transformation creates ripple effects through all our relationships. When we align with our values and natural rhythms, those around us notice the positive changes, creating waves of impact in families, workplaces, and communities.Ready to discover your own rhythm and path to fulfillment? Tune in for Christine's parting wisdom that might just change how you approach your life and work: "Don't take life too seriously... there is so much beauty in ease."Christine Manko is a Business Psychologist and founder of a Coaching, Training & Consulting practice, helping individuals and organizations thrive through mindfulness-based strategies that support growth, resilience, and real human connection.Send us a text

  • You Are Enough: The Power of Intrinsic Value
    Have you ever felt caught in an endless cycle of proving your worth—achieving more, serving more, doing more—just to feel like enough? In this transformative episode, we challenge the deeply ingrained belief that your value must be earned, and instead explore the radical truth: you are intrinsically valuable, simply by being who you are.We dive into how embracing this truth can reshape the way you show up—in your personal brand, your leadership, and your relationships. When you stop trying to fit into predefined molds, your authentic power and presence can finally shine.Through personal stories and client reflections, we explore why it’s so easy to believe in our flaws and so difficult to trust in our brilliance. Like seeing only one side of a coin, we often overlook our strengths, focusing instead on what we lack. The invitation is to flip the coin—to see the whole of who you are.Embracing your intrinsic value isn’t about avoiding responsibility or pretending life is perfect. It’s about expanding your self-perception to include the full truth of your being. From this grounded knowing, you become naturally magnetic to aligned opportunities, relationships, and results.So ask yourself: If you looked at yourself through God’s eyes, what would you see?Now… go be that person. And watch the world reflect it back to you.Send us a text

  • The Magnetic Power of Self-Worth: Transcending External Validation
    Have you ever stopped to question where your value truly comes from? In our achievement-driven world, we've learned to equate our worth with our productivity, contributions, and external validations. But what if this entire framework is missing the most fundamental truth about human value?This episode explores the powerful distinction between doing-based worth and being-based worth. I share personal insights about the trap of trying to "earn" our place in the world and the freedom that comes when we recognize our intrinsic value. When we operate from a place of inherent self-worth rather than a need to prove ourselves, we access a magnetic energy that transforms how we show up and what we attract.The journey requires us to see both sides of the coin. While evidence of our limitations and disappointments is real, so too is our unlimited potential and unique gifts. Learning to hold both perspectives simultaneously is where true transformation happens. I offer practical questions to help you recognize your inherent value: What would it look like to see your challenges as gifts? What unique value do you bring that requires no doing, only being? How might you see yourself through "God's eyes"?Join me for this deeply reflective conversation about moving beyond external validation to discover the power that comes from knowing your worth exists independently of anything you do or achieve. Subscribe, share, and continue your journey to becoming iconic by embracing your authentic self.Ready to take this deeper? If you’re feeling the call to express yourself more powerfully and authentically, I invite you to book a Voice of Power Activation Session. This 90-minute intuitive session utilising your unique energetic blueprint (including Human Design insights) to help you unlock your unique communication style and lead from your highest self.https://calendly.com/kirsten-barfoot/voice-of-powerSend us a text
