If you've ever felt like you've done everything — the courses, the inner-child work, the shadow dives — but still feel hollow, this episode is for you. You're not broken, and you don't need fixing. In fact, the healing itself might have become another place you feel not-enough. This is your permission slip to stop, breathe, and rediscover joy — not as a reward for hard work, but as your birthright.

The block we bust in this episode: "I've been doing the healing, but I'm not happy"

This one is for you if:

• You feel stuck in a cycle of never-ending self-healing.
• You secretly wonder if joy is allowed.
• Pleasure feels risky or undeserved.

What you'll take with you:

1. Why “fixing yourself” might be keeping you stuck.
2. How shame drives endless healing loops.
3. Simple ways to rebuild trust with joy and sensual pleasure.

If you've ever whispered to yourself, “I should be over this by now,” this episode is for you. We unravel the perfectionism and shame that creep in when we expect our healing to be linear. Inge shares a raw moment from her own cycle of contraction — and why these moments aren't a detour, but the very path to embodied healing.

The block we bust in this episode: "I should be beyond this by now"

This one is for you if:

• You beat yourself up for circling back to the same emotional themes.
• You're a healer who forgets your own humanity.
• You're caught in the shame spiral of perfectionism.

What you'll take with you:

1. Healing is cyclical, not linear — and that's by design.
2. Contraction isn't failure; it's fertile ground.
3. Perfectionism is often the nervous system bracing for shame.

If you've ever felt yourself shrink just as you're about to shine — this episode is for you. Maybe you've been told (or sensed) that being celebrated is unladylike, too much, or even unsafe. But what if that old belief is keeping your healing work from reaching the people who need it most? We explore the hidden roots of the fear of being celebrated — and how reclaiming joy, beauty, and visibility can change everything.

The block we bust in this episode: "It's not safe to be celebrated"

This one is for you if:

• Compliments make you uncomfortable.
• You tend to downplay your wins or joy.
• You feel unseen in your business or relationships.

What you'll take with you:

1. How being “low maintenance” might be a trauma adaptation.
2. The connection between celebration and magnetism.
3. Why receiving deeply is part of your healing path.
