Healing deep trauma is never a straight path; it’s a brave and sacred journey back to wholeness. For spiritual guide and grief alchemist Caroline Rena, this path is illuminated by one unwavering truth: healing is possible. In this profoundly moving episode, Caroline Rena opens her heart and story, sharing her passage through childhood abuse, military trauma, inherited Holocaust pain, and the devastating experience of parental alienation. With raw honesty and deep wisdom, she reveals how somatic practices, radical self-compassion, and a commitment to elevating her energetic frequency became the keys to breaking toxic generational patterns. She also reveals how healing the nervous system not only liberates the individual but also creates a ripple effect that uplifts collective consciousness, and she speaks candidly about navigating the depths of depression and the Dark Night of the Soul—and how these trials ultimately led her to a place of divine purpose. Today, Caroline stands as a compassionate, intuitive guide for those seeking transformation, offering hope and healing to others walking the path back to themselves.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:

• Trauma can be macro (major events) or micro (simple events).
• Trauma overwhelms coping, affecting mind and body, with short or long-term impacts.
• Generational trauma passes down unconsciously.
• Military Sexual Trauma (MST) ranges from harassment to rape; the military has struggled to address it.
• The “Dark Night of the Soul” involves depression and hopelessness, but can spark healing.
• Parental alienation is painful, manipulating children to reject a parent, often in high-conflict divorces.
• Healing involves releasing stored trauma from the nervous system through somatic work, EMDR, and EFT.
• Empaths and highly sensitive people are prone to trauma but can heal and impact collective consciousness.
• Emotions are energy; stuck trauma prevents healing. Releasing it raises vibration.
• Healing is continuous, but it gets easier, allowing quicker recovery from emotional challenges.
• Personal healing and raised consciousness ripple outwards, influencing hundreds and driving planetary change.
• Gentleness, healing work, and self-love are key to joy and reducing triggers.
