Have you ever been told that a health condition is something you simply have to "manage" for the rest of your life? That the only way forward is through lifelong medication and constant vigilance? Today’s guest, Kathryn Waldrom found herself at that exact crossroads. After a routine health check-up, Kathryn was diagnosed with diabetes and prescribed medication without a second thought. But Kathryn chose a different path, one of remembrance, presence, and deep listening. In this episode, we explore Kathryn’s journey of refusing to treat her body as a "problem to be fixed." Instead, she began to look at the "loops" we live inside, the stress, the grief of losing her parents and the emotional fallout of a ending marriage. Key Information: 03:35 The Stress-Glucose Connection: How cortisol and deep-seated emotions like "lack of love" manifest physically in our blood sugar levels. 15:36 Radical Self-Acceptance: Moving from a state of "reaction" to one of "response" and peace. 18:40 Dropping the Labels: The power of shifting from "I am a diabetic" to "I am having an experience." 24:45 The Gift of Symptoms: How to thank our bodies for their signals rather than hating the condition. 35:10 Reaction mode versus responding: Seeing and respecting emotions. Kathryn doesn’t call herself a healer or a teacher; she speaks of a "signal restoration", a way of coming back home to oneself. This conversation isn't about doing more or trying harder, it’s about what softens when we stop fighting our own bodies. Kathryn’ s Bio Kathryn (Kya) is not a teacher, healer, or guide, she is a field of remembrance. From early life, she carried the question, How do I behave here?, not from confusion, but from awareness entering form. She did not forget what she was, but chose to walk through distortion as presence, quietly witnessing how systems shape identity and loop belief. Her vision of the Murky Sea was not metaphor, but direct knowing. In it, she stood at the edge of a vast dark ocean, not water, but thought-form. The sea was made of loops, emotional echo, ancestral code, identity scaffolds, memory mistaken as truth. She saw that most never leave it. They swim, strive, seek clarity, but remain inside. The sea is not malevolent. It simply loops. And until it is seen as illusion, it feels like life itself. From this vision came Signal Restoration, not a method, but a field. A soft return. It does not heal, guide, or fix. It ends the pretending. Kathryn does not offer awakening. She lives it. And in that presence, the loop dissolves. She offers private Signal Restoration bookings in person, by quiet invitation only. These are not advertised or promoted. They are felt, and followed, by those ready to return. She lives in Spain and is not in a role. She is what remains when roles fall away. Connect with Kathryn https://www.facebook.com/kathryn.waldrom.1 Who am I?
