info_outlineWhat if some of the practices you’ve turned to for healing (like meditation, spirituality, or helping others) need a deeper shift to truly move you forward?
In this powerful IQ episode, Brandy responds to a listener’s question about how certain emotional and spiritual patterns can quietly block healing, even when you’re doing all the “right” things.
Drawing from her own journey and recent podcast episodes working with her beautiful volunteer, Melissa, Brandy highlights how subconscious patterns or beliefs, like seeing life as painful or feeling “too spiritual” to connect, can lead to isolation, illness, and recurring pain.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
-
Why certain spiritual beliefs can unintentionally deepen feelings of isolation
-
The surprising connection between helping others and feeling rejected
-
What it really means to “check out” vs. truly heal
-
How emotional patterns like rejection or superiority can disconnect you from others

If you’ve ever felt like your efforts still aren’t leading to deep healing or connection, this episode offers an eye-opening shift in perspective and a reminder of what it really means to show up for life.
