Lighthouse Within
Welcome to the Lighthouse Within Podcast. I’m Raina Rose - a coach, psychology nerd, and someone who believes healing is about coming home to who you’ve always been.
My passion is sharing - sharing thoughts, conversations, stories, and space. This is a space to simply show up as you are where we can unpack all the learning, unlearning, and in-between moments that shape us.
When we open up, we remember we’re never doing this alone. There’s so much belonging in the reminder that we can always come home to ourselves - and from that place, live in alignment with what truly matters to us.
Whether it's a solo episode or a meaningful shared conversation, this podcast is all about self-exploration, connection, and the courage to expand and show up as you - knowing that’s always been enough. Every episode is a chance to pause, reflect, and tune into your inner light.
So let’s get cozy - and shine together.

#16 What’s Yours to Carry and What’s Not
If you’ve ever felt like the one holding it all together - the fixer, the emotional caretaker, the one who makes sure everyone else is okay - this episode is for you. It’s easy to take on the weight of other people’s feelings, struggles, and choices… but at what cost?
In this episode, I’m exploring why we tend to carry things that were never ours to begin with. We’ll talk about how childhood conditioning and trauma responses can wire us to feel over-responsible, and what it looks like to start letting that go. I also share my own experience with releasing the pressure to fix and learning how to stay loving without self-abandoning.
This conversation is all about coming back to yourself and choosing to live from the inside out - not in reaction to others, but in alignment with your truth.
Let this be your reminder that you’re not alone, and that you don’t have to carry what was never yours.
