We’ve been sold a lie: that healing is soft, calm, and Instagram-worthy. Candles. Journals. Bubble baths.

But the truth? Healing is brutal.

Because nothing shakes you more than realizing that your entire personality—the independence, the perfectionism, the “I’m fine” version of you—was actually a survival strategy.

In this episode of Life As We Grow It, I’m pulling back the curtain on what real healing looks and feels like. We’re diving into:

✨  Why healing often feels like grief, not peace
 âś¨ The survival strategies we mistake for personality traits
 âś¨ What it feels like when your nervous system starts to rewire itself
 âś¨ How to create micro-pockets of safety while everything feels messy
 âś¨ Why the brutality is actually proof of your rebirth

If you’ve been feeling like your world is unraveling—or like the version of you that once worked just isn’t working anymore—this conversation will help you see that you’re not broken. You’re growing.

Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you’ve been all along.
