It’s Not Your Job To Carry What People Refuse To Heal

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/12/21

You can love someone deeply and still put down the weight they refuse to carry themselves. You can support, care, show up, and hold space - but you cannot heal for someone who doesn’t want to address their wounds. You cannot rescue someone who would rather stay in the story of their pain than rise beyond it. Healing is a door only the person themselves can choose to walk through. And yet, so many of us spend years - sometimes even decades - trying to fix what isn’t ours.Today we explore why we do

You Deserve Relationships That Don’t Make You Shrink

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/12/07

Today’s episode touches something many people feel quietly but rarely dare to name out loud:What happens to you when you spend too much time in relationships that make you shrink? The ones that make you second-guess yourself. The ones where you feel too much or not enough. The ones where your softness, your ideas, your honesty, or even your boundaries become treated as inconveniences rather than essential parts of who you are. Here’s the uncomfortable truth we’re starting with today:You can be the

The Myths of Compassion: Why Kindness Isn’t Always...

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/11/30

Today, we’re diving into something most of us have been taught since childhood: that being a “good person” or “compassionate” means being nice all the time, saying yes, fixing things for others, and never causing conflict. But what if that idea is holding you back? What if real compassion isn’t always comfortable - and doesn’t always make people like you? Today, we’re unpacking the myths, exploring what authentic kindness really looks like, and showing how it can empower you without costing your

When You Stop Proving, You Start Living

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/11/23

Have you ever caught yourself explaining, performing, or pushing - just to prove you’re enough?Maybe you’ve been the one holding everything together, thinking that if you do more, give more, be more… you’ll finally feel at peace. But here’s the truth: peace doesn’t come from proving. It comes from remembering who you were before you thought you had to.So in today’s episode, we’ll talk about why we start proving, how to notice when you’re caught in it, and what freedom feels like once you stop

If It Costs You Your Peace, It’s Too Expensive

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/11/16

We live in a world that glorifies busyness. A world that rewards “doing it all” - even when “all” leaves us completely drained. Somewhere along the way, we started believing that exhaustion is a sign of worth, and that calm means we’re not trying hard enough. But here’s the truth: Peace is not laziness. Peace is power. And yet, many of us keep trading it away - little by little - for approval, validation, control, or belonging. We say yes when we mean no. We explain what doesn’t need explaining. We

You Don’t Need to Be the Healer in Every Room

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/11/09

Today, we’re diving into something deeply personal for anyone who feels called to help, support, or guide others: the belief that you have to be the healer in every room. Maybe you’re the one who always listens, always understands, always steps in to hold things together. You’re the calm in the storm, the fixer, the encourager - and that’s beautiful. But sometimes, that same gift becomes a weight. Because when your worth gets tied to being the strong one, the wise one, the one who always knows what

You Don’t Owe Anyone Access to the Healed Version of You

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/11/02

Today, we’re diving into something that so many of us struggle with quietly - what it means to heal and still hold boundaries. Because here’s the truth: you don’t owe anyone access to the healed version of you. You’ve worked hard to get here - to unlearn patterns, to find peace, to rebuild trust with yourself. But sometimes, the moment you start feeling lighter, someone from your past reappears. They sense your calm. They want back in. And suddenly, you’re torn between your peace and your past

The Strength to Stay Soft

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/10/26

Today, we’re talking about something that might sound simple, but it’s one of the hardest things to live out: staying soft when life has taught you to harden. To stay kind when it feels easier to withdraw. To stay patient when the world is moving fast. To keep showing up with empathy, even when you’ve been misunderstood or hurt. Because here’s the truth: softness isn’t weakness — it’s a quiet strength that holds everything together when the world feels heavy.Follow me on instagram for more

Addicted to Chaos: Why Peace Makes You Uneasy

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/10/19

Have you ever noticed how uncomfortable peace can feel after a season of chaos? Maybe life finally slows down, but instead of feeling relief, you start to feel restless. Your mind searches for something to fix, something to worry about, something to do. You tell yourself you want calm - but when calm arrives, it feels unfamiliar, even unsafe. That’s not weakness. It’s your nervous system doing what it’s been trained to do: survive in motion, not rest in stillness. Today, we’ll talk about what really

The Myth of Compassion: Why “Being Nice” Isn’t Always...

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/10/12

Today we’re diving into a big misunderstanding that so many of us carry - the belief that compassion means always saying yes, always fixing, always rescuing. If you’ve ever found yourself exhausted from carrying everyone else’s problems, or saying yes when your heart was screaming no, this episode is for you. Because here’s the truth: compassion isn’t about losing yourself. It’s about showing up with love and clarity. And sometimes that means saying no, setting a boundary, or letting someone walk

Stop Setting Yourself on Fire to Keep Others Warm

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/10/05

Today we’re diving into a pattern so many of us live by — sometimes without even realizing it: over-giving. You know that feeling when you’re the one who always says yes, who always jumps in to help, who keeps everyone else comfortable - but secretly you’re running on empty? It feels noble in the moment, but the truth is: when you keep setting yourself on fire just to keep others warm, you end up burned out, resentful, and disconnected from your own needs.This episode is about shifting that pattern

Stop Calling Love “Soft”: It’s the Most Radical Thing...

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/09/28

Today, we’re talking about something that might sound “soft” at first - but is actually one of the boldest, most powerful choices you can make: choosing love. We live in a culture that often rewards toughness, sarcasm, and putting up walls. We hear messages like, “Don’t let them see you care,” or “Never let them hurt you twice.” And while some of that advice can be helpful when you’re healing, it can also turn into a trap. If you keep building higher walls, you eventually shut yourself in - and shut

Life’s Too Short to Keep Teaching People How to Treat...

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/09/21

Today, we’re diving into a truth that can feel both hard and freeing: life is too short to keep teaching people how to treat you. Think about it — how often have you found yourself explaining, reminding, or giving endless chances, hoping someone would finally respect your boundaries or value your needs? Maybe you’ve had the same conversation more than once, only to realize nothing really changes. Here’s what I want you to remember: people don’t learn how to treat you from repeated lectures. They

Why You Don’t Owe Anyone an Explanation

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/09/14

Today, we’re diving into a habit so many of us carry without even realizing it: the need to explain ourselves. Have you ever said “no” to something, and immediately followed it with a long justification so the other person wouldn’t be upset? Or maybe you’ve caught yourself overexplaining at work, in friendships, even in your family — just to make sure you’re not misunderstood? Here’s the truth: every time you overexplain, you hand away a little piece of your confidence. You’re telling yourself that

Want More Balance? Start With These Five Boundary...

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/09/07

Today we’re diving into a topic that touches every part of our lives: boundaries.When most people hear the word “boundaries,” they think of pushing people away, building walls, or saying no all the time. But boundaries aren’t about shutting people out — they’re about letting yourself breathe.Without them, your life starts to feel out of balance. You say yes when you mean no. You over-give. You run on empty. And deep down, you know something is off.That’s why today I want to share five simple but

You’re Not Fragile Because You’ve Been Hurt—You’re...

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/08/31

Today we are diving into the topic of what it really means to keep your heart open after hurt. Not just in romantic relationships, but in the way you move through the world—how you trust, how you connect, and how you choose to keep showing up with love, even when life has given you reasons to shut down. We’ll explore why staying open doesn’t make you weak, how self-trust becomes your unshakable foundation, and why refusing to let pain define you is one of the boldest acts of personal freedom. This

When People Expect You to Be Them – And Why That’s...

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/08/24

Let’s start with a truth we don’t talk about enough: Some people don’t just have expectations about what you do. They expect you to think like them. Choose like them. Even react like them. And when you don’t? They feel disappointed—maybe even betrayed. But here’s the thing: Their disappointment doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong. It just means you’re living from your center, not theirs. And that’s the point.Today, we’re talking about why some people want you to be just like them, how their

I Hope You Stay the Same” Isn’t a Compliment—Here’s Why

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/08/17

Let’s start with a sentence that sounds like a compliment—but quietly keeps you small: “Don’t ever change.” It’s the kind of thing people say when they like you just the way you are. It sounds sweet. Harmless, even. But here’s the truth: sometimes, “I hope you stay the same” is less about love… and more about comfort. Their comfort.In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the hidden message behind that phrase—and why growth, even when it makes people uncomfortable, is something you’re allowed to choose

When Perfect Is Just a Way to Stay Safe

Soultime Dr. Katja Makowka ·

2025/08/10

Let’s be real—perfectionism doesn’t always look like fear. Sometimes, it looks like being the overachiever. The one who’s always prepared. The one who gets it right. On the outside, it can look like drive, discipline, high standards. But underneath? It’s often something else. Perfectionism is rarely about being perfect—it’s about being safe. Safe from criticism. Safe from rejection. Safe from the feeling of not being good enough.If you’ve ever felt like you have to get it all right just to hold it
