• Building Safety, Releasing Shame, and Healing the Fear of Being Seen /Solo Episode

  This week I’m diving into something we all do, often without realizing — self-sabotage. Whether it shows up in love, work, or how we share ourselves with the world, it’s rarely about laziness or lack of willpower. It’s about safety, belief, and the stories our subconscious & nervous system cling to. I open up about my own patterns — the ways I used to hold myself back, hide behind perfection, overgive in relationships — and how I began to rewire those old beliefs. If you’ve ever found yourself procrastinating, people-pleasing, or shrinking the moment you’re finally being seen, this one’s for you. Here’s what I explore: 💭 What self-sabotage really is — and why it’s not your fault 🌙 How childhood beliefs quietly shape your adult life ⚡️ The link between nervous system safety and lasting change 🌿 Simple, grounding tools to regulate and return to yourself 🧠 How to reprogram limiting beliefs using awareness and proof 💫 The power of visualization and evidence-based self-trust 🤍 Learning to feel safe being seen — online and in love   Here’s to the version of you who’s ready to stop hiding 🫶🏻   Check out my new live 5-week program, starting on October 24: www.christinagalbato.com/seen-and-safe   Chapters 00:00 When everything goes wrong (and why it’s not a sign to stop) 01:00 What self-sabotage really is and how it shows up 03:00 The beliefs that keep us stuck in fear and hiding 06:00 How to recognize and question your limiting thoughts 09:00 Rewiring your mind: replacing old beliefs with safety and truth 10:30 The role of nervous system regulation in real growth 13:00 Simple daily practices to return to calm and clarity 14:00 Visualisation and proof: training your brain for change 18:00 Choosing to go all in on your new reality 19:45 Grace, growth, and self-compassion through the process 20:00 Introducing Seen & Safe: the 5-week journey to feeling seen 27:00 Why the fear of being seen runs deeper than social media 28:30 Closing reflections and invitation to join   More from WELLthy: → Follow on instagram → Subscribe on YouTube → Follow Christina:

• Jaclyn Fu: Turning Pain into Impact, Healing Heartbreak, Building an 8-Figure Ecommerce Company

  In this episode of She’s WELLthy, I sit down with Jaclyn Fu — co-founder and co-CEO of Pepper, the bra company inspiring small-chested women to celebrate themselves as perfectly enough. Jaclyn’s story is a beautiful one of turning insecurity into purpose. What began as her own feelings of inadequacy grew into a movement that’s redefined the bra industry and given confidence to millions of women. We dive into how Pepper was born, the challenges of starting a product-based business with no experience, and what it takes to scale to selling over a million bras a year. This conversation goes far beyond business. Jaclyn opens up about what she learned from a recent heartbreak, the limiting beliefs she’s had to rewire, and the spiritual awakening that changed her life. We talk about alchemizing pain into love, learning to share vulnerably online despite shame, and how spiritual practices like Kundalini and meditation helped her reconnect with her power. We also explore what it really takes to be a purpose-driven founder: building authentic community, overcoming self-worth struggles, and showing up as the most embodied version of yourself in leadership, love, and life.
