If you've ever been the one others turn to — the kind, capable, steady presence — and still felt desperately alone in your own healing, this episode is for you. Inge shares her raw, personal reckoning with the shame many healers carry around needing support, and we begin to unhook from the myth that “real” healers do it alone.

The block we bust in this episode: "Overfunctioning"

This one is for you if:

• You've ever felt like a fraud for still having wounds.
• You're craving community, but don't know how to receive it.
• Support feels unsafe, self-indulgent, or like “too much.”

What you'll take with you:

1. Why doing it all yourself isn't noble — it's erasure.
2. How the myth of the “healed healer” keeps us isolated.
3. A new way forward: healing in community, not alone.

If you've ever felt like your insight was too much, your truth too sharp, or your presence too disruptive to be accepted — this episode explores the hidden fear many healers carry about their power and intuition.

The block we bust in this episode: "My intuition doesn't work like theirs"

This one is for you if:

• You feel like you're always “masking” to fit in.
• You're afraid your truth might be rejected.
• You suspect your power is wrapped in shame.

What you'll take with you:

1. Why many healers believe their truth could be dangerous.
2. The real roots of the “witch wound” and how it lives in our nervous systems.
3. How to start creating spaces where your full self can exist.
