What if the parts of you that feel broken… were actually the keys to your wholeness?

This week on the It’s Karmic podcast, I sat down with my dear soul sister, psychotherapist and underworld guide Rachael Spyker, for a conversation that dives right into the 8th house terrain.

Rachael Spyker is a psychotherapist, depth guide, and medicine woman who walks people into the underworld and back again, holding space for the parts they’ve had to abandon just to survive. In this episode, she shares her powerful story of growing up inside a religious cult, the trauma that fractured her sense of self, and how she reclaimed her identity, her power, and her truth through somatic healing, nervous system work, and deep emotional presence.

We talk about how trauma gets stored in the body and how so many of us have been taught to suppress, override, and shame our emotional experiences when in truth, those very emotions are the gateway to relief, reclamation, and wholeness.

Rachael speaks to the parts of us we shame, asking the questions no one else is asking:

• What if your binging, your disassociation, your Netflix spirals are actually forms of medicine?

• What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself, but remembering who you were before you had to leave?

• What if you could stop performing, stop trying to “do healing right,” and start simply being with what is?

  
  

In this episode we discuss: 

• Why shaking, binging, and even Netflix are sometimes actually medicine.

• How trauma lives in the body and how to release it.

• The difference between healing and relief.

• The truth about spiritual bypassing and why you have to feel it to heal it.

• What happens when we meet our deepest pain with real, loving presence (hint: it’s magic).
  

This isn’t just a conversation…
