In this powerful episode of The On-Call Empath, host Raj Montage dives into a hard but necessary truth: sometimes the thing keeping our trauma alive is us. Raj compassionately explores how unprocessed pain, repeated narratives, and familiar coping patterns can quietly keep us stuck in survival mode. This conversation isn’t about blame—it’s about awareness, ownership, and choice. For anyone who’s been carrying emotional wounds from the past and wondering why healing feels out of reach, this episode offers clarity, validation, and hope. Healing begins when we recognize what we’re holding onto—and decide it’s safe to let go.

In this powerful episode, I dive deep into the truth we all try to ignore—running from our problems only delays our healing. I open up about my own experiences with avoidance, denial, and the emotional weight that comes from constantly escaping what needed to be faced. From tough conversations to inner battles, I share how I stopped running and started confronting my pain head-on. If you're tired of feeling stuck, this episode is your wake-up call. It’s time to stop escaping and start healing—because freedom begins the moment you stop running.

Letting go is the path to true freedom. In a world full of illusions—status, expectations, perfection—empaths often carry the heaviest weight. But the truth is simple: everything we cling to fades. Money won’t save us. Fame won’t follow us. In the end, we all die, and most will forget us. That’s not dark—it’s liberating. When we accept this truth, we stop performing and start living. Real peace comes not from holding on, but from letting go. So drop the lies, feel deeply, and live fully. This journey is short—make it real, make it yours, while you still can. Tune in to today's episode!
