How to Be Your Own Archaeologist

What if the answers you’ve been searching for are buried inside your own story?

In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen sits down with Carrie KC West to explore the practice of becoming your own archaeologist — digging into your past, your patterns, and your inherited belief systems to uncover who you truly are.

Carrie shares her extraordinary origin story: a traumatic childhood, the devastating loss of her father, rock bottom, and the unexpected epiphany in film school that taught her she could rewrite her own life like a script. Together, Dianne and Carrie unpack why empaths struggle to separate their emotions from others’, how pre-verbal beliefs get locked in before age two, and why crises and challenges are actually the universe asking for your attention. They also explore the power of awareness, the freedom that comes from mapping your family’s story, and what it means to stop living someone else’s narrative.

 

If you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns keep showing up in your life — in relationships, money, belonging, or self-worth — this conversation will give you the tools to finally go looking.
