Pouring from the Overflow with Raia ‘Coach’ Carey


Listen Later

In today’s episode, Dr. Robyne welcomes Coach Carey, a keynote speaker, life coach, and EDI consultant who thoughtfully weaves lived experience, professional expertise, and deep compassion into everything she shares.

Together, they explore the evolving understanding of resilience and what it means to cultivate self-awareness in a noisy, distracted world. Rather than pushing through at all costs, this conversation reframes resilience as knowing when to rest, reflect, and set boundaries that honor your energy.

Coach Carey shares her transformative “giving from the overflow” philosophy, encouraging us to nurture ourselves first so we can genuinely support others. She also shares practical tools, like her four-question self-inventory, to help you notice patterns, identify what energizes and drains you, and intentionally create more space for what fuels your well-being.

They also speak openly about their lived experiences with ADHD, offering thoughtful insights into attention, distraction, and the importance of finding what truly works for you.

This episode is your permission slip to rediscover joy through playful restoration, honor your limits without apology, and approach growth with compassion and curiosity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why giving from your overflow is more sustainable than pouring from a full cup

• How honest self-inventory questions can help you track patterns, boost self-awareness, and make meaningful change

• The importance of choosing what you consume (including social media, entertainment, and even conversations) to protect your well-being

• Strategies for refueling your energy

• Why aligning your tasks with your energy (and giving yourself compassion on low days) can transform productivity

• Practical ways to manage ADHD, distractions, and information overwhelm

• Why showing up authentically is its own superpower
