4 - The Myth of Balance, the Power of Integration, and the Art of Remembering with Christene Marie

In this soul-stirring solo episode, Christene Marie continues to unpack the Knowing Framework through the lens of integration, identity, and the emotional residue we carry from childhood into adulthood. She explores how many of us unconsciously segment our lives—professional vs. personal, spiritual vs. physical, doing vs. being—and why true transformation requires us to integrate the fractured parts of ourselves. With candor and clarity, Christene dives into: Why “balance” is often a lie—and what we really long for is integration The three parts of the Knowing Framework: Who was I? Who am I? Who do I want to be? How early experiences create beliefs that shape our identity and future potential Why memory, self-reflection, and “reparenting” are essential tools for wholeness The powerful parallel between Jesus’ story and the tension of identity formation This episode is a permission slip to slow down, go inward, and remember who you were before the world told you who to be. It’s also a reminder that you’re not here to “balance” it all—you’re here to become whole. 🔗 Continue the Journey: Follow Christene: @christenemarie_ Explore the Knowing Framework & upcoming retreats: TheKnowingAgency.com

3 - Endurance, Identity & Duality: What It Really Means to Know Yourself with Christene Marie

In this introspective solo episode of The Craft & Calling Podcast, Christene Marie invites you into a raw, unscripted stream of thought on self-awareness, emotional endurance, and the beauty of living in tension between dual truths. She reflects on the Knowing Framework—Who was I? Who am I? Who do I want to be?—and explores how facing our past, naming old beliefs, and grounding in truth are essential steps toward inner transformation. Drawing inspiration from ancient wisdom, philosophy, personal experience, and David Goggins’ “one-second rule,” Christene shares: Why true creativity flows from authentic self-connection How endurance is as necessary for emotional growth as it is for physical hardship The four Fs (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) and how they hijack our potential What it means to live in duality—honoring both the Spartan and the Athenian within Why emotional maturity means holding two truths without needing to cancel either one This episode is both a meditation and a map—a reminder that when we remember who we truly are, we gain access to what we’re truly here to create. 🔗 Learn More: Follow Christene: @christenemarie_ Explore the Knowing Framework & Events: TheKnowingAgency.com
