Your stomach clenches as you fall face first into the compare and despair rabbit hole and you start spinning in thoughts like:
I’m way too fat.
My house is not clean enough.
I don’t make enough money.
My life is a disaster compared to hers.
It’s a toxic cocktail of too much and not enough that can keep you spinning for hours… (days? Weeks? Months? Years? and, oh dear God, decades?)
…Too sensitive…
Not smart enough…
Too sassy…
Not thin enough…
Too needy…
Not doing enough…
Too spirited…
Not rich enough…
It makes you feel cray cray and drives you to do all sorts of cray cray things, like:
It totally jacks your vibe and let’s face it:
If jumping through hoops to please others gave you the love, belonging, respect, and validation that you crave, you’d be so punch-drunk that you’d be sprinkling shiny heart glitter on all the things by now.
The real reason you compare and despair, take unlimited rides on the too much/not enough roller coaster, and try everything you can think of to be more acceptable to others is because you don’t accept yourself.
Without the foundation of self-acceptance, you will continue to fight against yourself and get lost in a sea of shoulds, musts, have to, and supposed to.
Let go of who you think you are supposed to be so that you can be who you truly are.

I help women heal the wounds unworthiness by showing them the ropes of self-love, self-acceptance, and lasting transformation.
And, I didn’t just decide one day to share what I know so that I could make heaps of money on the internet.
If I wanted to do that, I’d sell weight loss pills or get rich quick schemes.
Instead, I came to this because of the transformation I’ve seen in my own life and in the lives of thousands of women across the globe.
In what feels like lifetimes ago, I overcame:
And I owe it all to my practices of self-love and self-acceptance. My journey has been years in the making, and I am so honored to be able to share this work with you.
An Online Workshop for Practicing the Art of Radical Self Acceptance
Shadow + Light is a self-paced online workshop for folks who are ready to accept themselves as they are, not as an act of complacency, but as a devotion to the life they most want to live.
On the surface, it’s about discovering tools for accepting yourself and exploring what that looks like in your day-to-day life.
But really, it’s about shining a light into the shadows of your heart and mind so that you can see, and therefore reclaim, the parts of you that you’ve been conditioned to believe aren’t good enough or that you’ve lost altogether.
It’s about experiencing yourself as Whole and complete, no matter what your external circumstances are.
This workshop will provide you with a framework that you can come back to – time and time again – as you integrate all of Who You Truly Are into your life.
Shadow + Light will provide a container of self discovery that will take you deeper and deeper into your understanding of yourself, both as a spiritual being and as a human being.
But, before you jump in, it’s important to know that:
Shadow + Light is $77.
You’ll get immediate access to the full workshop as soon as you purchase.
All sales final.
Shadow + Light is an online workshop with immediate access from the moment you register; there are no live dates or calls. You can begin whenever you are ready.
At the end of each module, you will be invited to share your insights and ask questions. I am happy to answer questions to help clarify the content or questions that are general.
However, this workshop does not include coaching or energy healing, which means that questions that are specific to your unique circumstances will require the purchase of a coaching package (starting at $400). Email me at christie@christieinge.com for details.
This is probably THE biggest fear people have about self-acceptance. Especially those of us who LOVE personal development. And the short answer to that question is no.
The long answer is that giving up on yourself and accepting yourself are direct opposites.
Self-acceptance is about making peace with the present moment by removing your judgments and, then, from this neutral state of mind, consciously and with intention, deciding how you will move forward. And from that place is the only way to make decisions that are in true integrity for you.
Self-acceptance, does, however, require you to give up on the notion that you can control other people’s opinions of you and embody who you are, no matter what other people think.
You will gain access to the entire course as soon as you register. If you were to do the whole workshop at one time, it would probably take about six hours. However, I recommend that you divide it up and do one step per day, which will take about 15 minutes each.
No, the course is hosted on a very simple and easy to navigate website with clear instructions.
No, I do not offer refunds for any of my programs or services. When you’re in, you’re in, so make sure you’re actually in before buying.
