How I Actually Healed (And Why It Didn't Look the Way I Expected)
Episode description
People ask me how I healed all the time, and the honest answer is that there is no clean framework I can hand you.
In this episode, I share the specific practices that actually made a difference for me — and they are not always the ones you would expect. I talk about why I stopped healing on everyone else's timeline, how I gave myself permission to grieve on a schedule as a single parent, and the journaling practice that helped me separate what was real from what had been distorted.
I also share why I stopped bringing my situation to my friends, what I did instead, and how I learned to stop outsourcing my recovery to other people's opinions. Your healing does not have to look like mine.
I hope something here helps you give yourself permission to do it in the way that you actually can.
