Love & Relationships for the Modern Mystical Life

In this episode Juliana talks about why space is important in relationships and why it can feel so hard to give. We are wired for connection. For our ancestors, connection meant survival, and that wiring still runs in the body. So when we take space, a part of us reads it as danger. This is why space inside a relationship, especially when there is conflict, can feel almost impossible. Juliana shar...

In this episode, I talk about a feeling I've been sitting with for a few weeks — and hearing from my clients too. That sense that something in your life is about to change, but right now everything still looks exactly the same. It's a liminal space. An in-between. And it's deeply uncomfortable, because there is nothing to do in it. If you're feeling restless, uncertain, like something is forming b...

Juliana sits down with Gabriel McCay, founder of Blue Lotus Creative, the West Coast Hug Emporium, Common Joy, and men's work facilitator based on the Sunshine Coast.

In this episode, Juliana gets honest about the resentment she built, the friendships she lost, and the email she wrote on a sunny September afternoon that changed everything. What we cover Why people pleasers assume others are as attuned to them as they are to everyone else — and what it costs How Juliana repaired a two-year friendship by owning her part with zero attachment to the outcome What Re...

Most of us have been told that if we could just learn to say the right things in the right way, our relationships would change. But communication is so much more than words — words are actually the last thing. In this episode Juliana breaks down why you can say everything right and still watch the conversation fall apart, and what's actually going on underneath when honest conversations feel impos...

Have you ever felt like something's just not working in your relationship — and your instinct is to try harder? In this episode Juliana Christine introduces one of the most powerful reframes in her work: your relationship isn't a machine to be fixed. It's a living system.
