Rewilding Humanity: Trauma Healing & Spiritual Awakening
74 - When the Body Speaks: Chronic Illness, Awakening, and the Masks We Wear
In this powerful conversation, Krysta sits down with Alana Joy Newton, former nurse turned psychotherapist and reconnection guide, to explore what it really means to come home to your body after years of disconnection.
Together they dive into illness as initiation, dark nights of the soul, and how trauma, sensitivity, and spirituality are woven through the human experience.
Alana shares her journey from medical trauma and burnout to finding deep meaning through her diagnosis of Ehlers‑Danlos Syndrome. She offers wisdom on how chronic illness can become a spiritual teacher, why compassion is the foundation of true healing, and what it means to live in alignment with your authentic self.
This episode is a gentle reminder that your body is not broken, it’s speaking.
✨ In this episode we explore:
- Medical trauma and near‑death experiences
 - The link between sensitivity, disconnection, and illness
 - Chronic illness as a spiritual awakening
 - How Western medicine pathologizes what the body is trying to say
 - The grief of healing and learning to listen to the body’s “messages”
 - The shadow of hustle culture and the nervous system collapse
 - The art of reconnection: emotions, sensations, and soul
 - How to release identity through “the masks we wear”
