The Silent Cost of Trauma: How Childhood Wounds Show Up in Your Career, Relationships, Health, and Bank Account

Women's Reporter Contributor

Christine Moon Morrell empowers women to heal from childhood trauma, reclaim their worth, and transform their lives. Here’s how she’s changing the narrative.

When Christine Moon Morrell was 17, a near-fatal car accident shattered her world — and unlocked long-buried memories that would change the course of her life. For most, it might have been a wake-up call. For Christine, it was an awakening — the beginning of her life’s work: helping women who have survived childhood trauma reclaim their voice, their worth, and their power.

Her path hasn’t been linear. Surviving both trauma and multiple near-death experiences forged a depth of compassion that infuses every part of her work today. “It’s not about fixing what’s broken,” she says. “It’s about remembering who you were before life and trauma taught you to doubt yourself.” That truth became Christine’s north star — and the foundation of a movement that’s helping women worldwide heal at the root.

Healing Isn’t About Fixing — It’s About Remembering

Christine’s philosophy is both radical and refreshingly human: healing isn’t about perfection or performance; it’s about reclaiming what’s always been within you.

Many trauma survivors, especially high-achieving women, unknowingly carry the weight of unhealed wounds into every area of life. Those early wounds silently shape how we love, lead, earn, and even rest. The cost? Burnout that feels endless. Relationships that repeat painful cycles. Financial ceilings that mirror old beliefs about worth.

“When women heal, they rise — and when they rise, they create ripple effects of transformation in their families, communities, and the world,” Christine shares.

Her trauma-informed approach blends evidence-based tools like somatic healing, belief reprogramming, and nervous system regulation with spiritual alignment and intuitive guidance. The result isn’t temporary motivation — it’s embodied transformation.

The Messy Onion Program: From Messy to Magnetic

At the heart of Christine’s work is The Messy Onion Mastermind —  her signature group coaching journey to peel back the layers of what wounded you —  to release, reframe, and reclaim the love, worth, and power that’s always lived inside you.

“Women are taught to be strong,” Christine says. “But real strength is softness — it’s allowing yourself to be supported and to finally feel safe in your own body and truth.”

The Messy Onion sisterhood helps women shed the protective layers of shame, self-doubt, and perfectionism that once kept them safe — and step fully into their magnetism, confidence, and self-trust. It’s not about erasing the past; it’s about integrating it with grace and power.

Reclaiming the Light Within: A Sanctuary for Soul-Deep Healing

Beyond her coaching programs, Christine hosts Reclaiming the Light Within, a 3.5-hour virtual soul retreat that offers women a sacred space to release, reset, and remember who they truly are.

Each retreat includes:
Somatic grounding practices to calm your nervous system and connect with your body in safety and love
Guided release work to let go of old shame, fear, or self-protection strategies that no longer serve you
Belief-reframing exercises to shift the subconscious stories keeping you stuck

This is not another motivational webinar. It’s a sanctuary — a space where women can exhale, be seen, and feel deeply supported on their healing journey. Through each experience, Christine helps participants peel back the layers of survival and step into their innate light, wholeness, and self-worth.

What Sets Christine Apart

Christine’s approach is unique because it’s both deeply personal and profoundly professional. With coaching experience and certifications in trauma-informed coaching, spiritual life coaching, intuitive energy healing, hypnotherapy, and health & wellness, she integrates science with soul.

But beyond credentials, it’s her lived experience — the resilience forged in her own healing — that allows her to hold space for others in a way that feels safe, sacred, and transformational.

Her work isn’t about surface-level success; it’s about wholeness. Her clients don’t just find peace — they find themselves.

Healing for the Future

For Christine, this work isn’t a career — it’s a calling. After facing death more than once, she knows she was spared to serve as a light for others walking through the dark.

Through her coaching and retreats, she’s building more than a business — she’s nurturing a movement of women who are done shrinking and ready to rise.

“When women heal, they don’t just heal for themselves,” she says. “They heal for generations to come.”
