25: Wakefulness, Self-Healing, and Knowing Your Worth with Katherine Jansen-Byrkit The Nicole Gonzalez Podcast
-
- Self-Improvement
At sixteen, suicidal and weighing almost 200 lbs., Katherine Jansen-Byrkit was far from feeling or living expansively. The journey of waking up for her began with a suicide attempt and the long, hard passage between despair and hope. After healing from the inside out, Katherine is now a Licensed Professional Counselor and has spent 15 years in the field offering holistic psychotherapy, coaching, chiropractic services, and more.
I had the honor of sitting down with Katherine as she opened up about her past and talked about how she came to publish her first book, River to Ocean: Living in the Flow of Wakefulness. This river guide reflects the human voyage of finding our way to an awakened self. As with a river traversing steep mountains and winding valleys, our inner and outer worlds can be encumbered by old beliefs, an anxious mind, preoccupation with death, or compromised relationships to others. In her work, Katherine tells raw experiences and offers real insight as she explores nine aspects of wakefulness and encourages readers to wake up through their human life.
In this episode, we talk about:
-Wakefulness
-Healing from trauma
-Understanding rage / strong emotions
-Repairing relationships and rebuilding trust (as parents)
-Introversion vs. social anxiety
-Feeling worthy enough
