Ep.27- The Art of Subtraction (feat. Carlijn Krijger)

from The Chronic Brew · host Mr. Cool Beans

Flight 27 is now boarding. Today, we are crossing the Atlantic to the Netherlands to sit down with Carlijn Krijger—a former medical student who seemingly had it all: the grades, the look, and a bright future in traditional medicine. But beneath the surface, her body was sounding the alarm. In this "coffee talk" chronicle, Carlijn opens up about the terrifying year she lost her health, her identity, and her joy. We discuss why the "kindergarten" phase of self-help isn't always enough and why true healing often comes from removing the things that aren't yours, rather than just adding more to your to-do list. ☕ What’s Brewing in this Episode: The "Superwoman" Crash: How high-achievers mask chronic symptoms until the body forces a shutdown. Beyond Kindergarten Wellness: Why journaling and basic routines are great starters, but deep evolution requires a "quantum leap." The Power of Subtraction: Learning to let go of the lies and false ideas we hold onto about our health. Bridging Science & Spirit: How Carlijn used her medical background to navigate unorthodox health protocols and authentic spirituality. The Espresso Shot: A high-energy "This or That" round where we see the "un-Superwoman" side of Carlijn. ✈️ Connect with our Guest: Ready to dive deeper into Carlijn’s world and her "Superwoman" community?
