    EP 012 - You Can’t Heal in the Same Life That Made You Sick
    Dec 18 2025

    What if your symptoms weren’t a failure of your body, but a message?

    In this conversation, transformational coach and author Kristen Renee shares her decade-long healing journey that began with a mysterious autoimmune collapse and unfolded into a complete reorientation of her life. After years of treating symptoms in isolation, she discovered what many people in burnout and chronic illness cycles eventually face: healing requires addressing the whole system: body, mind, emotions, environment, and patterns of living.

    We talk about:• Why can’t you heal in the same ways and places that made you sick• The hidden cost of long-term survival mode• How the body communicates through pain, fatigue, and injury• Emotional and symbolic roots of physical symptoms• The role of rest, sleep, and nervous system repair• Rebalancing masculine and feminine energy• Why self-care is not selfish, it’s essential• Kristen’s 12-Principle Framework for sustainable healing

    This episode is for anyone navigating autoimmune issues, chronic fatigue, burnout, or a deep sense that their body is asking for something more honest and integrated.
