About this listen

We say we want healing… but rarely do we talk about the cost of it.

In this episode, I dive deep into a truth most people avoid:

Healing isn’t supposed to feel good.

It’s supposed to hurt.

That grief, that discomfort, that ache in your chest — it’s not a sign you’re broken.

It’s the very evidence that you’re becoming whole again.

I share a personal story about tearing my labrum and how the pain of physical healing mirrors the emotional healing we’re often too scared to face.

We also unpack:

  • Why healing is nonlinear and never quick
  • The grief that comes from mourning what “could’ve been”
  • The myth of “getting over it” vs. the power of integrating your pain
  • Why your healing journey isn’t about forgetting the past but learning to carry it differently
  • How healing helps rebuild your self-trust, one painful but honest step at a time

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or ashamed that healing still hurts — this episode is for you.

Because the pain is real, but so is your growth.
