#59 - Carolina Reese: The Limits of Caregiving

For Carolina Reese, resilience started as survival. In this episode of Ibogaine Uncovered, host Talia Eisenberg speaks with Reese about grief, caregiving, and what happened when years of holding everything together finally reached a breaking point.

Reese shares how childhood abuse, immigration, and early loss shaped a lifelong pattern of hypervigilance and responsibility. As an adult she cared for a husband dying of cancer, later supported a combat veteran partner with severe PTSD, and pushed through years of stress until her body began shutting down. She describes how her experience at Beond helped her release trauma stored in the body, reconnect with fragmented parts of herself, and shift from self abandoning caregiving toward healthier service and coaching.

Carolina Reese is a coach at Beond who supports clients preparing for and integrating ibogaine treatment. She first came to Beond as a guest in 2024 after years of caregiving and personal loss, including the death of her first husband and supporting a combat veteran with PTSD. Her work now focuses on helping others process grief, trauma, and major life transitions while maintaining boundaries and self care.
