Soul Medicine with Carina Bull

Hyper-independence can look like strength.
But often, it’s something the nervous system learned when support didn’t feel safe.

In this episode, we explore hyper-independence as a survival response, how it forms, why it shows up in relationships, and what it quietly costs over time.

If you’ve been carrying everything alone, holding invisible emotional weight, or struggling to ask for help without guilt, you’re not broken.
You adapted.

What is Soul Medicine with Carina Bull?

Hi, I’m Carina Bull, Trauma-Aware Intuitive Guide, Reiki Practitioner, Tarot Reader, and Circle Facilitator.

Through Soul Medicine, I support sensitive women who are holding everything together on the outside while quietly carrying too much inside.

This podcast is a space for honest conversations about emotional exhaustion, self-trust, intuition, and the quiet patterns many women carry for years without realising how much it has cost them.

My work sits at the intersection of intuitive guidance and trauma-aware support. I weave Tarot, Reiki, and grounded coaching conversations to gently illuminate what is happening beneath the surface, so that healing and change can begin in a way that feels safe, steady, and deeply personal.

Because lasting change doesn’t come from pushing harder.

It comes from understanding what your nervous system has been holding for you.

Each week on Soul Medicine, I share reflections, intuitive insights, and truth-telling conversations designed to help you recognise yourself in the patterns we explore, soften the weight you’ve been carrying, and reconnect with your own inner guidance.

If you’ve spent years being the strong one, the responsible one, the one who holds everything together, you’re not alone here.

You’re allowed to move at your own pace.

And when you’re ready to sit in the discomfort of deeper self-understanding, I’ll be here.

Welcome to Soul Medicine.
