PODCAST: Living Your Greatness Podcast: Healing 'Feels Unsafe’

Kim recently sat down with Benjamin Mumme from the Living Your Greatness Podcast. Here’s the show description from the podcast, and you can watch the conversation further below:

Kim Barthel doesn't sugarcoat it: the obsession with comfort is quietly sabotaging your healing. Decades working with trauma, resilience, and the nervous system have shown her one brutal truth: real growth rarely feels safe. Kim exposes why your nervous system remembers trauma long after your mind "forgets," why avoidance masquerades as self-care, and why chasing comfort keeps you trapped in the same destructive patterns. She tears apart the myth that healing should feel calm, controlled, or easy because if it feels safe, you're probably doing it wrong. You'll learn:

• Why trauma and resilience are inseparable, and why most people never realize it

• How relationships, not techniques or affirmations, actually rewire the nervous system

• How technology and your environment quietly hijack emotional regulation

• Why protecting yourself from fear weakens your capacity to grow

• Why the self-help, therapy, and spiritual industry keep people stuck in false safety

If you've done the work, meditated, journaled, or gone to therapy, and you're still stuck. This episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about healing.
