If Healing Feels Hard, You're Not Doing It Wrong

You started the work. You expected peace. But what came was more confusion, more emotion, more overwhelm.

In this episode, we talk about why healing can feel worse before it feels better. You'll hear my personal story of feeling completely undone in the early stages of growth—and why that wasn’t failure, but a sign the process was working.

I’ll walk you through 3 truths about healing that no one talks about, plus practical tips and reflective questions to help you feel less alone in your journey.
