In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Cathleen King, founder of Primal Trust, for a deeply healing and eye-opening conversation about the power of nervous system regulation, brain retraining, and trauma recovery as the true path to lasting wellness.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of chronic illness, burnout, or endless healing protocols that never seem to work… this episode will change everything. We unpack how your brain and body create patterns of protection — and how you can finally rewire them to feel safe, free, and alive again.
Dr. Cat shares her own journey of healing from chronic Lyme disease and complex trauma, and how that experience inspired her to create the Primal Trust community — a space that helps thousands of people recover through brain retraining, somatics, and nervous system healing.
We talk about:
• Why the body can’t heal if the brain doesn’t feel safe
• How trauma and chronic illness are intertwined
• The difference between real healing and managing symptoms
• Tools to regulate your nervous system in real time
• The spiritual and energetic layers of brain rewiring
• Why “doing less” often creates the biggest breakthroughs
Whether you’re healing from chronic illness, fatigue, anxiety, or just feeling stuck — this conversation is the bridge between science and soul healing.

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a Dear Media production. |
| 0:09.1 | Hey guys, it's Jordan Younger, your host of the Balance Blonde Soul on Fire podcast. |
| 0:14.4 | Here we go deep on all things, astrology, awakening, wellness, motherhood, channeling, aliens, and so much more. |
| 0:22.4 | We have deep conversations. We go to other realms. It's a lot of fun. So stick around. |
| 0:27.3 | Let's dive on in. I cannot wait to connect. |
| 0:33.3 | Hello and welcome back to the show. I'm so happy that you're here. I am hanging on by a thread right now. I just got back from my |
| 0:43.4 | birthday celebration in Ohio with the kids and my parents and Jonathan and had such a fun weekend |
| 0:52.0 | celebrating. It was amazing. And I'm just getting back on top of everything. |
| 0:58.3 | So recording this intro right before the episode comes out, you guys are going to love this |
| 1:04.1 | conversation with the incredible Dr. Kathleen King, aka Dr. Kat, the founder of primal trust. If you haven't heard of |
| 1:15.2 | primal trust, it's pretty revolutionary. It's a hundred percent revolutionary. And like I say, |
| 1:22.1 | in this conversation, this isn't a sponsored episode by any means whatsoever. I mean, I don't really do sponsored episodes, |
| 1:30.8 | but just because we're talking about primal trust, we're talking about it because I am obsessed. |
| 1:36.5 | And I had to seek out Dr. Kat and have her on this show. She came in from Utah and I was honestly blown away at how much we had in common. |
| 1:47.8 | She has struggled with chronic Lyme disease, pots, mold toxicity, chronic fatigue syndrome, |
| 1:54.8 | complex PTSD, insomnia, anxiety and panic disorder, digestive issues, candida, hormone imbalances adrenal fatigue, |
| 2:04.1 | mass cell activation syndrome, and more, aka she is me and I am her, and she's also deeply |
| 2:10.8 | spiritual. And she started primal trust as basically this hub for healing based off of everything that she learned from her own |
| 2:21.5 | healing journey. It is a nervous system healing brain rewiring program and I learned about it from |
| 2:28.8 | my dear friend Holly who came to this recording and sat in on the conversation, which made the conversation even |
| 2:36.9 | that much more special. And I feel like you all are going to want to join Parmel Trust. Please |
| 2:43.2 | let me know if you do, because I am a member. I just haven't dedicated myself to the consistency |
