The Getting Through the Week Podcast is dedicated to nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and grounded personal growth.
Each week, Dr. KellyRae brings honest, real-world conversations about emotional awareness, shadow work, life transitions, and the courage it takes to evolve. You’ll gain practical tools to regulate before you react, build self-trust, and lead your life from the inside out.
New episodes every Monday.
You finally SEE something you couldn’t see before.
A pattern.A truth.A piece of yourself you’ve been missing.
And then…
your nervous system has questions. 😂
Because seeing something clearly and actually living differently because of it are two very different things.
In this episode, we pick up where Episode 243 left off: What’s underneath the thing?
But once you see what’s underneath… what happens next?
Sometimes your conscious mind is ready to run with the revelation while the rest of you is standing there going:
“Huh?”“We’re doing what?”“Since when?”“With WHO?” 😂
We’ll talk about why integration can feel uncomfortable, why not every realization requires an immediate decision, and how to tell the difference between something being wrong for you and simply being new for you.
And yes, there’s a little massage-therapist detour in here—because sometimes the place that hurts is not actually the place where we need to work.
Which, honestly…
DUH. 😂
If you’ve ever had a big realization and thought, “Okay, I SEE it… so why am I still doing this?”—this episode is for you.
Because a realization is information.
Integration is what happens when that information becomes something your whole system can actually live from.

Episode 243 What’s Underneath the Thing
What if the thing you think is the problem… isn’t actually the whole problem?
You’re angry.You’re exhausted.You don’t know what you want.You just want peace.You keep saying you’re fine.
But what if there’s something underneath all of that?
In this episode of Getting Through the Week, Dr. KellyRae explores what happens when we stop rushing to fix what we’re experiencing and get curious about what’s actually underneath it.
Because sometimes:
“I’m angry” is really “I’m hurt.”
“I don’t want to do this anymore” is really “This doesn’t fit who I’m becoming.”
“I don’t know what I want” is really “I know what I want, but I don’t know if I’m allowed to want it.”
And sometimes “I’m fine” is simply the place we stop looking.
This isn't about digging for something wrong with you.
It isn't another five-step plan.
It’s about slowing down long enough to ask a better question:
What’s underneath this?
Because the first answer isn't always the whole answer.
And sometimes, the question itself becomes the intervention.
🎧 In this episode, we explore:
Why knowing something intellectually doesn't always create change
The difference between the thing you're experiencing and what's underneath it
How anger, exhaustion, uncertainty, and “I'm fine” can point to something deeper
Why “I don't know” doesn't always mean you don't know
What happens when you stop asking, “How do I fix this?” and start asking, “What's underneath this?”
Why seeing something differently can be more powerful than learning another tool
If you've ever thought, “I know what I'm supposed to do… so why am I still here?”—
this one is for you.

Episode 242 Stop Lying About What You Want
Have you ever said, “I don’t know what to do,” when maybe the truth is that you actually know what you want—you just don’t know what happens next?
Those are two very different things.
In this episode, we’re going underneath the sentence.
Because sometimes “I don’t know” isn’t a lack of information. Sometimes it’s where we stop ourselves from hearing something we already know.
What if the question isn’t “What should I do?”
What if it’s:
“What do I already know that I’m not letting myself say?”
We talk about desire, uncertainty, gratitude, recognition, and that incredibly uncomfortable space between knowing what you want and having absolutely no idea whether you’re going to get it.
Because knowing what you want doesn’t mean you have to have a plan.
It doesn’t mean you have to act today.
It doesn’t mean you know how it will turn out.
And it certainly doesn’t mean you’re entitled to the outcome.
It may simply mean you’ve finally stopped lying to yourself about the wanting.
We’ll also talk about the question underneath the question, why we sometimes put everyone else’s considerations in the room before we’ve even admitted what we want, and what can happen when we get curious about what’s actually underneath the thing we keep calling “the problem.”
And maybe the most uncomfortable question of all:
What if desire isn’t dissatisfaction?
