Awakening Without Burnout | Trauma, Intuition and Listening to the Body – She Invests Intuitively

In this powerful solo episode of She Invests Intuitively, Katie Carey shares a pivotal chapter of her life where spiritual awakening and nervous system overwhelm unfolded side by side.

As meditation, Reiki, mediumship circles, and higher education opened her intuitive gifts, her body began speaking just as loudly - through exhaustion, injury, and eventual breakdown.

This episode explores the often-unspoken truth: awakening without grounding can overwhelm the nervous system, and spiritual tools alone cannot override unresolved trauma.

Katie reflects on her time working within the NHS, discovering meditation as a lifeline, studying psychology and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE scores), and building a mental-health nonprofit while carrying decades of survival conditioning.

She shares how overgiving, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment quietly masqueraded as strength - until the body intervened.

This episode explores:

• The difference between spiritual expansion and emotional safety

• Why energy healing doesn't replace boundaries

• How trauma lives in the body and impacts money, work, and leadership

• The cost of overgiving and the myth of "being strong"

• Why your body always tells the truth before your mind is ready.

This chapter also sets the stage for what comes next - Katie's introduction to Law of Attraction training with Dr. Joe Vitale, and the moment science and spirituality began to merge in a way that would change everything.

If you're intuitive, empathic, spiritually open - and tired - this episode is a permission slip to slow down, listen deeper, and honour the wisdom of your body.
