In this first episode of Real People, Raw Healing, I sit down with Carrie—a psychic medium, energy healer, and single mom—who’s overwhelmed by chronic pain, emotional burnout, and the unrelenting pressure of being “the strong one.”

We explore what happens when empaths, spiritual practitioners, and trauma-informed helpers take on too much energy—and stop taking care of themselves. This conversation covers nervous system regulation, emotional boundaries, overgiving, perfectionism, and the trauma loops that quietly sabotage healing.

Throughout the episode, I also pop in with reflective commentary to highlight deeper patterns—helping listeners recognize their own blind spots and avoid the most common mistakes in the healing process.

Whether you’re a sensitive overfunctioner, a spiritual service provider, or just someone who feels emotionally stuck, this episode will help you understand how to start honoring your needs again—and what true resilience actually requires.

🔍 Topics We Cover:

• How chronic pain and trauma impact energy healers

• Emotional burnout and nervous system dysregulation
