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.

In this deeply honest episode of She Invests Intuitively, Katie shares the raw and complex season between the end of her first marriage and the beginning of a new relationship — a time when intuition was whispering, emotional wounds were surfacing, and spiritual lessons were unfolding beneath the chaos.

This chapter explores the patterns we repeat when we haven't yet healed, the way relationships mirror our unspoken pain, and how quickly we run into something new when we haven't given ourselves time to process what has been lost.

Katie opens up about the reality of depression, over-responsibility, and the overwhelming pressure of being a mother navigating heartbreak while trying to hold everything together.

You'll hear how a new partner arrived at a vulnerable moment, how financial survival shaped her choices, and how intuitive insights — even the ones she didn't yet understand — were already guiding her toward the life she was meant to build.

This is an episode about emotional truth, spiritual awakening, trauma patterns, resilience, and the quiet beginnings of a deeper journey into self-worth and soul-led transformation.

If you've ever rushed into a new chapter before healing the last one, or felt the calling to break generational patterns without knowing how, this episode will speak to your heart.
