"Healing is a lifelong thing. So I don’t think we’re ever done, right? As much as I wish I could say, ‘I'm healed’. I wish that was true. But what’s different now is my discernment. In the past, I would go down the journey with an old pattern. Now, I might entertain it for a moment, but then I catch it, and I say, ‘This doesn’t feel good for me.’ That’s the work." — Kara Kalin

In Part 2 of my conversation with Kara Kalin, we explore how trauma gets stored in the brain, how EMDR therapy helps rewire negative beliefs, and why healing is an ongoing process, not a finish line. Kara shares insights into breaking unconscious patterns, how parenting exposes our unhealed wounds, and what it truly takes to step into emotional freedom.

Today on Limitless:

- How Trauma Gets Stored in the Brain – Why logic alone can’t heal emotional wounds and how EMDR helps rewire limiting beliefs.

- Breaking Generational Cycles – How childhood experiences shape our parenting and why our kids mirror back what we haven’t healed.

- The Hidden Cost of Overachieving – The link between high performance, unresolved trauma, and the fear of slowing down.

- Parenting & Emotional Triggers – How to recognize when your inner child is reacting to your child, and what to do about it.

- Healing as a Lifelong Process – Why personal growth isn’t a finish line and how old patterns can reappear in new ways.

- Finding Emotional Freedom – Kara’s journey to becoming “unshakable” and why deep healing leads to a sense of neutrality, not just resilience.
