Healing After Loss: Reiki, Self-Trust and Shadow Work with Theo Yang

EP 45. What does it actually take to walk away from a six-figure career and rebuild your life from the inside out? In this episode, I'm joined by Theo Yang, Reiki practitioner, photographer, musician, and host of The Pain Into Power Podcast, for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, grief, spiritual healing, and learning to trust yourself again. Theo shares how she walked away from a successful career in digital ad sales after it left her anxious and disconnected from who she really was, and how modalities like Reiki, meditation, shadow work, and self-reflection helped her begin rebuilding a more aligned life. We explore grief after losing a parent, ancestral and immigrant family trauma, people-pleasing, self-sabotage, and the daily practices that can help you feel more grounded, protected, and aligned with the life you actually want.

In this episode:

•  What Reiki is and why so many people turn to energy healing for emotional, physical, and spiritual support 
• How meditation, affirmations, and subliminals can help rewire self-sabotaging thought patterns 
• A daily ritual you can use to protect your energy 
• The role grief can play in self-discovery, healing, and life transitions 
• How childhood experiences, immigrant family trauma, and ancestral patterns can shape self-trust and relationships 
• A practice for letting go of people, habits, and stories that no longer fit the version of you you’re becoming 
• How to build self-trust through small wins
