Why does positive thinking fail when your nervous system is stuck in survival mode? And what’s the connection between unhealed trauma and feeling disconnected from your spiritual gifts?
In this episode, I sit down with Valerie Lundgren—one of my own former students who has become an extraordinary healer in her own right. Valerie is a Quantum Energy Healer, Hypnotherapist, and Nervous System Specialist who blends science and spirit to help empaths and women in spiritual awakening release anxiety, heal trauma, and come back home to themselves.

In this episode, we dive into:

• What nervous system dysregulation actually looks like—especially for empaths
• Why mindset work doesn’t stick when you’re in fight, flight, or freeze
• How energy healing and somatics work together to create lasting change
• The connection between stored trauma and blocked spiritual gifts
• Signs you’re going through a spiritual awakening (and how to support yourself)
• Simple nervous system tools you can use today to feel safer in your body
