    Why You’re Still Stuck (Even After Doing All the Work)

In this raw and real episode, Dr. Andrea Moore shares the true root cause of stuckness that most trauma-informed, somatic, and self-help work completely misses. And she introduces her new self-paced course, Meet Yourself: The Key to Getting Unstuck, designed specifically for people like you—those who know where they want to go but just can’t seem to take that next step. Why nervous system tools, journaling, or therapy might be reinforcing your stuckness How healing and overachieving can both become subtle traps Why "doing more" (even more rest) isn’t always the answer How striving for a better version of yourself can backfire The mindset shift and somatic practice that finally moves people forward The one thing you need before any practice or protocol can actually work 💻 Meet Yourself: The Key to Getting Unstuck – $47 Early Access 🎧 Use code PODCAST at checkout for future discounts 📱 Follow on Instagram for behind-the-scenes insights: @drandreamoore 🌐 Explore more tools at: www.drandreamoore.com You’ve done so much healing but still can’t move forward You’re stuck in perfectionism, burnout, or spiraling thoughts You know the direction you want to go but feel frozen You feel like something invisible is holding you back—and you're ready to break through it You’re tired of 12-week programs and just want something short, real, and effective 🔑 What You’ll Learn:🛠 Mentioned in This Episode:⚡ Who This Episode Is For:

Think again.

This is what “doing the work” actually looks like.Apply here to be part of this new series: https://forms.gle/MqQCEQTeTTR6tXYR8 In this first episode of Real People, Raw Healing, I sit down with Carrie—a psychic medium, energy healer, and single mom—who’s overwhelmed by chronic pain, emotional burnout, and the unrelenting pressure of being “the strong one.” We explore what happens when empaths, spiritual practitioners, and trauma-informed helpers take on too much energy—and stop taking care of themselves. This conversation covers nervous system regulation, emotional boundaries, overgiving, perfectionism, and the trauma loops that quietly sabotage healing.
