We've all been there—one day you're operating at peak performance, reigning supreme with divine clarity, and the next you can't remember where you parked or why you walked into a room. In this revelatory episode of One Card Shy, hosts Candy and Laura pull back the curtain on the mysterious connections between trauma, stress, and those frustrating cognitive hiccups that make you question your sanity.
The Many Faces of Trauma Clearing
🌀 Your healing journey doesn't come with a manual. As Candy and Laura discuss, trauma release might look like:
A transformative (yet miserable) flu after an intense energy shift
Unexpected emotional releases during yoga or breathwork (yes, even that awkward sobbing session in pigeon pose counts)
Spontaneous travel cravings—your soul knows when you need a geographic reset (Mexico, anyone?)
Why Your Brain Goes Offline
⚡ Candy and Laura break down the science and spirituality behind memory glitches:
How chronic stress literally rewires your recall function
Why your brain "nopes out" of stressful memories (it's trying to protect you)
The surprising link between adrenal fatigue and that "where are my keys?" syndrome
The Future-Tripping Trap (aka Futureizing)
🔮 A profound discussion on how:
Constantly living in "what's next" mode sabotages your present moment awareness
Spiritual bypassing can masquerade as enlightenment (when you're actually just checked out)
To retrain your brain to be here now (without losing your edge)
The Upgrade No One Talks About
"Feeling broken might actually be a sign you're leveling up," Laura observes. In this One Card Shy episode, we explore:
How to distinguish between concerning symptoms and spiritual growing pains
Why traditional medicine often misses the mind-body-spirit connection
Practical tools to support your nervous system during these upgrades
This episode is your permission slip to stop pathologizing your human experience. Those memory lapses? Probably not early Alzheimer's. The exhaustion? Likely not just poor sleep hygiene. As Candy shares from her own journey, sometimes what looks like breakdown is actually breakthrough.
"You're not losing it—you're being rewired for what's next."
