The Life Coach Podcast with Christine Hassler

Uncertain In Uncertain Times

From 2/17/09 Huffington Post Column:Dear Christine,I saw your recent post about being out of work but staying hopeful and was wondering how you felt about changing industries during this job market. For those who are out of work, and even those seeking better opportunity, is it better to remain in the field where you are…

Dealing With Valentine’s Day Depression

From 2/10/09 Huffington Post Column: “Valentine’s Day is around the corner and I’m already super depressed. I am single and have been valentine-less for four years now. I just want to crawl under the covers and pretend like this day doesn’t exist. I’m a total romantic at heart and I don’t know how to not…

Jobless, But Not Hopeless

From 2/03/09 Huffington Post Column:Dear Christine,I have gotten to the point of despair when it comes to finding a job. I know I am not alone in this terrible market, but I am starting to lose all motivation. I’ve been looking for a job for six months now and I feel like my degree is…

Will You Be Courageous In 2009?

From 1/27/09 Huffington Post Column:It’s a new year and our country has a new President. Saying that “change is coming” seems like quite the understatement because it’s already here. I don’t know if you feel it, but I’ve been very aware of how things are shifting around us. People are starting to wake up, step…

Dealing With A One-Sided Relationship

From 1/20/09 Huffington Post Column:Dear Christine,I have currently been “dating” a girl for about a month. Our relationship started off a bit odd where we literally spoke everyday for the first 2 weeks of knowing each other. However, recently a day or two has gone by without conversation. If I don’t initiate the conversation I…

Lost On The Twenty-Something Journey

From 1/13/09 Huffington Post Column:Dear Christine,“I’m currently in my early twenties and I gotta say, I’m so lost. I have a lot of stress from a job I don’t enjoy and battle constant insecurity issues (I related a lot to your article you wrote about going to your college reunion). So how did you do…

Making The Most Out Of Job Rejection

From 1/06/09 Huffington Post Column:Dear Christine,I’ve been in the job application process for several months now without success. Most of the time, I don’t hear back from potential employers unless I initiate a call. Usually if I get them on the phone, they say something like they have filled the position or are no longer…

Ring In The New Year In A New Way

From 12/30/08 Huffington Post Column:On New Years, we tend to make resolutions which are usually promises to do something “more, better, or different” as our society seems to revolve around this notion that there is always room for improvement. We vow to exercise more, get a better job, fall in love, or find a different…

Alone Under The Mistletoe

From 12/23/08 Huffington Post Column: Dear Christine, I love Christmas, but I hate being single at Christmas. This is such a romantic time of year — every time I turn on the TV I see a couple snuggled up in front of the fire exchanging gifts. I have no one to cuddle with other than…

How To Survive Christmas Alone

From 12/16/08 Huffington Post Column:Dear Christine,This year I’m not able to afford to fly back and spend the holidays with my family, so I am facing my first holiday alone. The way I’m dealing with it is that I’m not getting too excited or invested in the holiday season. I just can’t wait for it…

Are You Suffering From An Expectation Hangover?

From 12/09/08 Huffington Post Column:Dear Christine,I read about “Expectation Hangovers®” in your book and I feel like I am having one because of my job. I enjoy the work and environment less and less every day, which is disappointing because I thought I’d really love working in this field. I have totally lost my motivation.…

Gift Giving Protocol At The Office

From 12/02/08 Huffington Post Column:Dear Christine,This holiday season, I’m trying to cut back financially and I’m wondering if I’m expected to buy a gift for my boss? What about my coworkers? With the economy as bad as it is, is it sort of an “excuse” not to have to buy gifts? And if I don’t,…

Thanksgiving, Twenty-Something Style

From 11/25/08 Huffington Post Column:Today’s twentysomethings, aka Gen Y, have a reputation for being overly self-focused and entitled. Although there may be some truth to this stereotype, it’s neither 100% true nor 100% negative. There are upsides to focusing your awareness on yourself, ESPECIALLY if it has to do with gratitude and appreciation. Around this…

My 10 Year College Reunion

I started writing this note to you on a plane headed to my 10 year college reunion in Chicago by myself – which seems rather appropriate because that is the way I spent most of my time in college. As I headed back to Northwestern University with a single football ticket in my purse and…

Book Review

I often get asked to review or recommend books for twenty-somethings. The latest request is a book called a “What They Don’t Teach You in College: A Graduate’s Guide to Life on Your Own.” Since my college graduation was over ten years ago, I thought it would be helpful to have someone who is actually…

Media

I’m a bad, bad blogger – my last post was in February….if only blogging could become as much of a habit as chocolate is for me! Anyway, lately I’ve been doing radio and TV press interviews for my new book 20 Something Manifesto. I don’t have links to all of them, but I wanted to…

Check out this review!

I am pleased to share this review of 20 Something Manifesto from the Library Journal.
