Tune in to Break Free and Trust for real conversations about all aspects of life, death, and everything in between. And healthy conversations between the feminine and masculine. Join Jacqueline and Chris as they navigate relationships, friendships, parenting, work, health, and systems of power with vigorous honesty, full transparency, and raw truth. They courageously support each other by stepping out of the drama triangle and into the field of creative potential. Together they model how to harness the power of relationship as a mirror to befriend our shadow. Jacqueline and Chris’s energy serves as an invitation to each other and their communities to step into life fully, consciously, and courageously. They are committed to the practice of surrendering everything that gets in the way of them living in full alignment with who they choose to be. What stands in the way becomes their way. On their own they are successful, together they are magic, and they model alchemy through the divine union of the masculine and feminine.<br /><br />To learn more, check us out here: http://www.agatheringplace.ca]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6290846/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Self-Improvement</category><copyright>Jacqueline Wener-Kalbfleisch &amp; Chris Kalbfleisch</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/678ce661cd5ac6ff2457d45e9fcc1e91.jpg</url><title>Break Free and Trust with Jacqueline and Chris: A Redesign for Living</title><link>http://www.agatheringplace.ca</link></image><lastBuildDate>Tue, 11 Aug 2026 03:27:17 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>Jacqueline Wener-Kalbfleisch &amp; Chris Kalbfleisch</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Jacqueline Wener-Kalbfleisch &amp; Chris Kalbfleisch</itunes:name><itunes:email>jacqueline@agatheringplace.ca</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/678ce661cd5ac6ff2457d45e9fcc1e91.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>Are you ready to become the creator of your own life?
