Core Wounds as Medicine: The Storyteller Who Found Her Voice in Silence" A raw Consciousness Method journey from people-pleasing to authentic self-expression
Meet Kylie Collins; the woman who stopped trying to fix herself and started celebrating what made her different.
At six years old, practicing for a Goldilocks play, she was told "I wish you were never born" and physically punished for being "too loud." That little girl decided silence was safety. She learned to disappear into stories, to watch from the sidelines, to make herself small. For decades, she thought this was her brokenness.
The plot twist? All that quiet observation, all that storytelling, all that deep seeing - that's her medicine. Now she mentors children and teenagers, especially the quiet ones who think something's wrong with them. She's the adult who tells them: "Your sensitivity isn't a flaw. Your stories matter. Your way of seeing the world is exactly what we need."
In this conversation, Kylie shares how she went from $50,000 pay cuts to finding her true work, from people-pleasing to boundary-setting, from hiding her voice to using it powerfully. She'll make you laugh about the absurdity of trying to rehearse spontaneous conversations, and she might make you cry when she reads the piece about her childhood wounds becoming her gifts.
Get ready to meet someone who proved that your biggest obstacle might just be pointing you toward your greatest purpose.

Powerful Quote from the Episode: "What if my wounds are also my gifts? What if writing and storytelling is where my real expression shines? What if everything I've been exhaustingly trying to fix are actually my greatest strengths?"
