In I Awaken, hosted by Archita, Kerisma Vere unpacks a quiet truth: wholeness isn’t something you earn after you “fix” yourself—it’s something you remember when you stop abandoning parts of you.

This episode is for anyone who feels fragmented, tired of performing “healed,” or stuck in self-judgment. You’ll leave with grounded ways to relate to your inner world with compassion and accountability—without chasing a flawless version of yourself.

Kerisma Vere is a coach who supports clients in building a compassionate relationship with all parts of self. She’s also the author of The Light Switch Myth and created the companion journal Ways I Showed Up for Myself.

1. 00:00 — Wholeness isn’t achieved, it’s remembered
2. 03:10 — From self-improvement to self-relationship
3. 07:05 — Why “balance” is dynamic, not static
4. 11:40 — When emotions feel like failure: the hidden cost
5. 16:20 — Breakdown vs breakthrough: rebuilding from the inside
6. 21:30 — Survival strategies, fragmentation, and gentle reintegration
7. 26:10 — Two lived practices: daily check-ins + “ways I showed up”

1. Practice “table work”: let every part belong, without giving every part control.
2. Redefine balance as ongoing adjustment, not a permanent state.
3. Notice the “heavy backpack” beliefs that make healing harder—and remove them slowly.
4. Use the “Maple Street” metaphor to normalize slipping back into old patterns.
5. Try a 3-minute internal check-in: body, emotions, thoughts, then a kind self-acknowledgment.
6. End your day with one question: “Where did I show up for myself today?”
