Some of us can walk into a room and feel the sadness in the corner before we even know if we’re tired or hungry. This episode dives into why so many healers, empaths, and “feelers” tune into everyone else’s emotions first — and their own last.

From the survival patterns of childhood to the science of neuroception, we’ll explore how hyper-attunement becomes identity, the hidden costs of carrying emotions that aren’t yours, and the spiritual truth that you can’t truly serve if you’ve abandoned yourself.

You’ll learn practical ways to call your energy home, discern what’s yours to carry, and reclaim the sacred right to feel yourself first. Because self-alignment isn’t selfish — it’s the foundation of your purpose.

Last week hit like the breaking of a dam — months of pressure, worry, and emotional whiplash finally spilling out. Between supporting loved ones from a thousand miles away, navigating housing crises, and carrying the weight of family challenges, I found myself in that emotional “quicksand” we all remember from 80s sitcoms — stuck, sinking, and wondering how to move.

In this raw, 14-minute Bonus Snacks episode, I talk about the surprising aftermath of emotional release, why getting “stuck” is sometimes part of the healing, and how grace isn’t just a kindness — it’s a survival tool. We’ll explore the power of small, tangible moments, and why the first step toward healing is taking responsibility for your own growth.

Because even when you feel buried, you’re only human… and that’s exactly where the comeback begins.

Reality Check My Life – Season 9: The Ones Who Feel Too Much

🎙 Episode 1: The Walk with Bear — When Stillness Floods You

Some mornings arrive without fireworks, but they still change everything.
This is the story of a simple walk with my dog Bear — and the holy flood that rose when everything went still. For the ones who feel too much, stillness isn’t empty. It’s backlogged. And when the backlog hits, it can feel like drowning in yourself.

We’ll explore the roles we hide behind (comedian, healer, fixer), the link between alexithymia and somatic emotional floods, and why stillness can be overwhelming for empaths, Sin Eaters, and Wounded Healers. Along the way, we’ll pull threads from psychology, spirituality, parapsychology, and energy work — and maybe hand you a few keys for making peace with stillness instead of running from it.

If this work speaks to you, your support helps keep these stories, insights, and spiritual tools reaching the people who need them most. You can contribute via our GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/9a63750b

We’ll keep the enlightenment on for you — and the shadows? Still stocked with snacks, my love.

Soul Doula Diaries: What No One Sees About Holding Sacred Space

Everyone loves the idea of a healer.
Of the “space holder.”
The calm one. The grounded one. The one people run to in crisis.

But what they don’t see?

The weight.
The cost.
The spiritual labor that never clocks out.

In this intimate episode, Gin cracks open the unseen reality of what it truly means to be a Soul Doula — someone who walks others through shadow, shame, grief, and transformation… while still tending to her own.

Inside this sacred share:

• The exhaustion that comes from holding what others won’t even name

• The emotional aftermath no one checks on

• The fine line between service and self-abandonment

• And the sacred burnout that can happen when you’re seen as strong, but rarely held yourself

This isn’t a how-to.
It’s a heart cry.
A truth offering for those doing sacred work in silence.

If you’ve ever felt like the one who holds it all together while quietly falling apart —
this one’s for you.

You are not alone.
Your work is seen.
And you deserve a sacred space, too.

The Shadows Have Snacks: Why I Don’t Believe in “Getting Over It”

Here’s your Spotify episode description:

We live in a world obsessed with “moving on.”
Get over it. Let it go. Raise your vibe.

But what if the parts you’re trying to move past are the very parts that still need to be witnessed?

In this raw and reverent episode, Gin dismantles the toxic narrative of “getting over it” — and offers a sacred reframe rooted in integration, not erasure.

You’ll hear:

• Why rushing emotional recovery often causes more harm than healing

• How true wholeness means befriending your shadows, not bypassing them

• What it really looks like to stay present with grief, rage, or pain — without becoming consumed by it

• And how the spaces you’re told to hide are often the portals to your greatest power

This episode is an invitation to stop abandoning the parts of yourself that are still healing — and to trust that you don’t need to be “over it” to be walking in power.

Because here?
The shadows have snacks.
And you’re allowed to take your time.

Stop Trying to Fix Me
Sometimes the Pause Is the Medicine

Some people can't help themselves — they hear pain and immediately reach for a fix.
But here’s the truth:

Not everything broken needs a solution.
Some things just need to be witnessed.

In this episode, Gin serves up a fierce reminder for the fixers, helpers, and compulsive advice-givers of the world — and a holy invitation for the rest of us to reclaim the sacred art of presence.

You’ll hear:

• Why offering advice too soon can feel like abandonment

• How rushing to fix can actually rupture trust

• What it means to hold space without needing to control the outcome

• And why the most powerful healing often happens in the pause

If you've ever felt unseen because someone couldn’t sit in silence with your pain —
or if you’ve been the fixer trying to rescue instead of relate —
this one will land like a sacred mirror.

Sometimes silence is the salve.
Sometimes not fixing is the most loving thing we can do.
Because presence is medicine — and it doesn’t always come with a to-do list.

Healing Isn’t a Vibe — It’s a Vow
A Holy Reminder for a World Obsessed with Aesthetics Over Actuality

In a culture that sells healing as an aesthetic — softly lit reels, sage smoke, and catchy affirmations — it’s easy to forget the truth:

Healing isn’t a vibe.
It’s a f*cking vow.

In this fiery episode, Gin dismantles the illusion of curated spirituality and reminds us what real healing actually looks like — messy, inconvenient, courageous, and sacred.

Inside this transmission:

• Why devotion, not aesthetics, is what carries you through

• The daily choices that make healing a lived practice, not a performance

• What it means to keep showing up for yourself when no one’s watching

• How healing becomes the altar your soul learns to rest on

This one is for the cycle-breakers.
The vow-keepers.
The sacred misfits who are doing the quiet, unsexy, holy work of becoming whole — for real.

Because vibes don’t save lives.
Devotion does.

If You Haven’t Sat with Your Own Shadow, You’re Not Ready for Someone Else’s
Why Unprocessed Leaders Become Unsafe Space Holders

It’s easy to talk about healing.
It’s easy to hashtag #shadowwork and post poetic quotes about inner alchemy.

But here’s the raw truth:

If you haven’t sat with your own shadow —
really sat with it —
you’re not ready to hold space for someone else’s.

In this episode, Gin breaks down the dangerous difference between spiritual performance and true preparedness, and why trauma-informed space holding can’t be faked with a certificate or a script.

We unpack:

• What real shadow work actually feels like

• The 3 ways unprocessed “guides” harm the people they claim to help

• How sacred readiness is earned — not declared

• And why you should never touch someone else’s wounds if you haven’t cleaned your own

This one is for the real ones.
The brave ones.
The ones who’ve screamed into the void and stayed.

Shadow work isn’t sexy.
But it’s sacred.
And it’s time we stop letting people sell it like it’s a vibe.

Not all support is created equal.
And in this episode, Gin (your Soul Doula and sacred disruptor) breaks down the often-misunderstood — and dangerous — difference between a coach and a guide.

One offers direction.
The other walks with you through the dark.
And knowing which one you’re getting (or offering) can be the difference between healing… and harm.

We talk about:

• Why coaching is a skill — but guidance is a calling

• What happens when unready people try to hold sacred space

• Why trauma, shadow, and soul work require more than a weekend certification

• And how to know what kind of support your soul is actually asking for

✨ Plus: the moment Gin’s mouth refuses to say the word “integration” mid-recording. Yes, it’s a thing. 😂

This episode is for the seekers, the leaders, and the ones who know there’s a deeper difference — even if they haven’t found the words for it yet.

Direction is helpful.
Devotion is holy.
Discernment is sacred.

Tune in. Unpack. Walk your path with clarity.

This one?
Whew. Buckle in.

In today’s truth-bomb episode, Gin (your Soul Doula + sacred disruptor) takes aim at the growing culture of fast-track certifications, vibe-based coaching, and the harm that happens when unprocessed people try to lead others through healing work they haven’t done themselves.

Spoiler: If you’re leading others without knowing how to hold your own shadow, you’re not leading — you’re projecting.

This episode is a call-in and a call-out.
It’s not about judgment — it’s about protection.
For the seekers. The cracked-open. The real ones trying to heal, not just hustle.

And somewhere around the halfway point?
Gin completely loses the ability to say the word “integration.”
Like… it just. Would. Not. Come out.
So if you hear a verbal wrestling match with the English language, that’s what you’re witnessing. 😂
Even truth tellers trip over syllables sometimes.

If you’ve been side-eyeing the coaching industry or feeling that soul-deep frustration at how sacred work is being commodified…

This one’s for you.

🔥 Sacred truth.
💣 No fluff.
💀 And absolutely no “high vibe only” nonsense.
