Have you ever repeated positive affirmations like “I am worthy,” “I am confident,” or “I am abundant”—only to feel like you don't actually believe them?

You might even find yourself rolling your eyes while thinking, “Yeah, right.”

In this episode of Release to Rise, Kate Patraw explores why traditional affirmations don't always create the positive change we hope for—and why, for some people, they can actually leave them feeling more frustrated, discouraged, or disconnected from the very thing they're trying to create.

Kate shares her own personal experience with depression and how spending time repeating affirmations rarely made her feel better and often left her feeling like a failure. Through her journey into energy work and subconscious healing, she began to understand the science behind why positive statements can be difficult to accept, especially when they conflict with deeply rooted limiting beliefs and negative programs stored in our subconscious mind.

Your conscious mind may say, “I am worthy.”
But what if your subconscious mind still believes, “I'm not good enough”?

That internal conflict can make it incredibly difficult to create lasting change.

In this episode, you'll learn about the connection between affirmations, subconscious beliefs, limiting beliefs, and energy work—and why the simple act of thinking positively can feel out of reach for so many of us. And guess what? It has more to do with science than you might think!

Kate also introduces the concept of "ingredients"—a different way to help reprogram your brain, building neural pathways that will help you connect to positive statements in a more effective way than traditional affirmations.

You'll discover why healing isn't always linear, why your subconscious programming matters, and why you may need to "weed the soil" before you're ready to plant something new.

If you've ever wondered why positive affirmations aren't working for you, why you struggle to believe good things about yourself, or why you keep falling back into the same emotional patterns, this episode will give you a new perspective on what's happening beneath the surface.

Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt uncomfortable? Or spent time with someone only to leave feeling completely drained? Maybe you've noticed that after scrolling social media or watching the news, your mood suddenly shifts—even though nothing in your own life has changed.

That's because everything is energy.

In this episode, we're exploring how your thoughts, emotions, physical health, and overall well-being are influenced by the energy you consume every single day. From the people you surround yourself with to the media you watch, the environments you spend time in, and even the conversations you have, every interaction leaves an energetic imprint.

You'll learn:

• Why everything is made up of energy—and why that matters.
• How other people's energy can influence your emotions and mindset.
• The hidden impact of social media, television, music, and the news on your nervous system and energy.
• Why certain places leave you feeling peaceful while others feel heavy or overwhelming.
• Simple ways to become more intentional about what you allow into your energetic space.
• Practical tips to protect your energy without shutting yourself off from the world.

The truth is, you're constantly consuming more than just food. You're also taking in emotional, mental, and energetic information—and it all shapes how you think, feel, and show up in your life.

The more aware you become of the energy you're allowing in, the more empowered you are to create a life that feels lighter, calmer, healthier, and more aligned with who you truly are.

If you've been feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, or simply "off" without knowing why, this episode will help you understand one often-overlooked piece of the puzzle and give you practical tools to protect your peace and support your healing journey.

If this episode resonates with you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who could use a little more peace and positive energy in their life.

Do you feel uncomfortable when someone compliments you? Have a hard time asking for help? Feel guilty when you rest? Or notice that the love, opportunities, or abundance you desire never seem to fully make their way to you?

If so, you're not alone—and it may have to do with something you’ve never considered. 

The problem may not be your circumstances—it may be your ability to receive.

In this episode of Release to Rise, Kate Patraw explores the powerful connection between self-worth, subconscious beliefs, and energetic blocks that keep so many of us from receiving the very things we want most. 

Whether it's love, support, abundance, success, rest, or even a simple compliment, your subconscious mind and energetic field may be quietly rejecting what your conscious mind is asking for.

Drawing from her own experiences and her work as an energy healer, Kate explains why receiving can feel so uncomfortable, how emotional trauma and inherited beliefs shape your sense of worthiness, and what you can begin doing today to release those hidden blocks.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why low self-worth makes receiving love, compliments, help, abundance, and rest feel uncomfortable
• How subconscious programming and limiting beliefs influence what you allow into your life
• What heart walls are and how they can block connection, joy, and abundance
• The surprising role your body's energy and organ imbalances can play in feelings of worthiness
• How inherited emotional patterns and past experiences continue to affect your ability to receive
• Practical ways to begin releasing emotional and energetic blocks so you can welcome more ease, support, and abundance into your life

If you've ever wondered why you keep pushing away the things you want to receive in your life, this episode will help you understand the subconscious and energetic patterns behind it—and show you how to begin changing them. It’s a game changer!

Have you ever noticed that the harder you try to manifest the things, the people, the outcome you want, the farther away it feels?

There is an energetic reason why we keep feeling stuck. 😬

It’s why we don’t get the raise.

It’s why we struggle to heal our bodies. 

It’s why we can’t find the love of our life.

It’s why we can’t reach our ideal weight.

It’s why we can’t create the life we want. 

In this week’s episode of Release to Rise, I discuss one of the most powerful energetic concepts behind manifestation and subconscious programming: the more attached we become to an outcome, the more energetic resistance we create.

I talk about why intensely wanting something can actually push it away, how subconscious bleiefs and stuck energy can keep us in cycles of frustration, and what we can do instead to help bring in whatever it is we truly want. 

Per usual, I share personal stories of how this happens in my own life and how it continues to be something I work on to this day!

If you are sick of not reaching your goals, achieving what you want to achieve, or getting what you want in life, this episode could be a game changer for you. I know it changed everything for me! Truly everything!

Have you ever felt stuck, confused and lost as to how to heal your symptoms? No, just me?!?? 🙋🏻‍♀️🤣 

I realized over the last year that I wasn’t truly healing because I was full addressing everything that causes the problem. 

In this episode of Release to Rise, I share the Three Pillars of Healing—the framework I use to help uncover the deeper reasons behind physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual symptoms. 

Many healing techniques focus only on the physical body. But true sustainable transformation happens when we understand all three layers of our issues: the physical symptoms we see, the emotional root causes beneath them, and the energetic imbalances that keep us repeating the same patterns.

Together, we'll explore:

• Why physical symptoms are often messengers, not the true problem
• How trapped emotions and subconscious beliefs can influence your health and happiness
• The role energy plays in your emotional, mental, and physical well-being
• The three ways we heal: taking physical action, addressing emotional root causes, and releasing stuck energy
• How healing at the root can create lasting changes that surface-level approaches often miss

If you've been dealing with chronic symptoms, emotional overwhelm, stress, fatigue, anxiety, or simply feel like you've tried everything and still aren't getting the results you want, this episode offers a life changing perspective on healing—one that looks at the whole person and one that has dramatically improved my life. 

Join me as we explore emotional root causes, energy healing, physical healing, so you can begin releasing what no longer serves you and rise into the life you truly want.

This episode is for anyone ready to stop chasing symptoms and start healing at the root to bring about lasting change.

🚨 TRIGGER WARNING 🚨

This episode is for people who are open, ready and willing to learn difficult concepts that will change their lives but might also be uncomfortable to hear. Be prepared for your brain to resist this but that resistance means it’s important for you to hear. 

——————————————— 

What if the challenges you’re facing, the experiences you’ve been through, and the patterns you repeat aren't random—and what if you have more power to change them than you've ever believed?

In this episode of Release to Rise, I dive into the concept of radical responsibility and explain why EVERYTHING that happens TO us, actually stems from an imbalance within us. I discuss how true, lasting change begins by looking inward instead of blaming our circumstances, other people, or the world around us. And that can be a freeing yet uncomfortable concept to face. Hence the trigger warning. 

We'll explore:

• What radical responsibility really means (and why it is not self-blame)
• How stuck energies and limiting beliefs such as "I'm not worthy" can affect relationships, career, finances, and confidence
• Why your outer world often mirrors your inner world
• The difference between blaming others and becoming empowered to change your life
• How difficult people and painful experiences can become powerful teachers
• My personal experiences with health struggles, relationships, career challenges, and the lessons I've learned along the way … I share it all per usual 😊
• Practical tools I use to identify the emotional and energetic patterns keeping me stuck and how I started to slowly but surely take radical responsibility in my life.

Radical responsibility isn't saying:

"Everything bad is my fault."

It's saying:

"Everything in my life is showing me something about the beliefs, energy, and patterns I carry—and because I helped create my reality, I also have the power to chnage it and create a new one.”

✨ If you've been feeling stuck in the same cycles, frustrated by surface-level solutions, or ready to reclaim your power, this episode will challenge you to see your life from an entirely new perspective.

In this episode of Release to Rise, I share the biggest mistakes I’ve made when trying to improve my self image, self confidence, and self worth. There is a lot of noise out there and I’ve tried so many things that I thought were helping me feel better about myself, only to realize they provided a temporary boost but I still felt crummy. When I learned the true definition of self image, my healing journey started to take a major turn for the better. 

Today, I break down the true definition of self image—how we perceive ourselves and how we believe others perceive us—and why trying to build self-esteem, self value, self image through external means never creates lasting change. Instead, it often reinforces the very patterns of self-doubt and disconnection we’re trying to escape. I also discuss how stuck energy can reinforce these limiting patterns as well. 

Through real-life examples and relatable insights, I explore how we unknowingly outsource our worth, and why true self image that fosters that inner confidence can only be built from within. I also share a new way of looking at your traits, experiences, and even the parts of yourself you’ve judged as “negative”—and how every single one can be transformed into a source of strength.

If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, overgiving, comparison, or feeling like nothing you’ve tried works—this conversation will help you see why. 

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why external validation can’t build a stable self image
• The hidden mistake keeping your self image low
• How your self image is actually formed and reinforced
• How to start rebuilding your self image from the inside out

If you’re ready to love yourself for all that you are and build confidence and self value from within, this episode will change the way you see yourself. It changed my life and I hope it changes yours. 🤍

We all want to truly love ourselves, but developing self—love can feel so hard. Why? We often are taught to look for it in all the wrong places. 

In this episode, I discuss what self love really looks like, and why it begins with something many people don’t associate with self-love: self-prioritization. We often spend our lives putting others before ourselves but in this episode, I explain not only why our brains are designed to think that way, but how that can actually hinder self-love, create resentment, and lead to burnout. 

Through personal stories, real-life examples, and practical insights, you will understand the connection between prioritizing yourself and self-love and will learn simple ways to start strengthening the love you have for yourself.

If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, over giving, guilt for doing something for yourself, burnout, or feeling like you’ve lost yourself while taking care of everyone else, this episode is for you. 🤍

True self-love isn’t something you earn. It’s something you practice, something you grow — and it starts with choosing yourself.
