<p>In this episode of <em>How to Deal When the Shit Gets Real</em>, I sit down with Chris Wasko to talk about healing from deep-rooted trauma and stepping into a completely unexpected spiritual path.</p><p>Chris shares what it was like growing up with two narcissistic parents and how that environment shaped her early life. As she began doing the work to heal, something unexpected happened — she started hearing her maternal grandfather, opening the door to her abilities as a medium.</p><p>We talk about what it looks like to navigate that kind of awakening, how she learned to trust it, and why she ultimately shifted her focus toward energy healing and helping the living — especially old souls and cycle breakers trying to rewrite their stories.</p><p>In this episode, we discuss:<br>• Growing up with narcissistic parents<br>• The long-term impact of childhood trauma<br>• Beginning the healing journey and doing the inner work<br>• Hearing her grandfather and discovering her mediumship<br>• Learning to trust and develop intuitive abilities<br>• Transitioning into energy healing<br>• Supporting old souls and cycle breakers<br>• Breaking generational patterns and creating something new</p><p>This conversation is powerful, eye-opening, and a reminder that healing doesn’t just change your life — it can completely transform who you become.</p>
