In this heartfelt and powerful episode, Nancy sits down with Katherine Ilnitski, a ME.d Counselling professional, RCT, CCC, Reiki Teacher & Master, to explore the deep connections between pain, healing, and personal growth. Together, they dive into what it means to care for ourselves while navigating the pull to care for others, and how cultural expectations often push us to ignore our own needs in the name of resilience.

Katherine shares insights from her narrative-based counselling practice, where she empowers clients to reclaim their stories and recognize their strengths. With a holistic approach that blends traditional therapy with energy work and mindfulness, Katherine brings a grounded yet spiritual perspective to healing, offering gentle wisdom on how we can all listen to our bodies, honour our emotions, and grow through adversity.
