Ep. 17 - When We Have Dirty Pain

In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between clean pain and dirty pain—and how that difference can change everything. Clean pain is honest and human: the sadness, the disappointment, the ache of growth. Dirty pain? That’s the spiral we add on top—the shame, the judgment, the “what’s wrong with me?” Through real-life examples (yes, including late-night ice cream 🍦), I’ll show you how shifting your thinking can bring more compassion, more clarity, and more connection to yourself—especially when you feel stuck. 🎧 Tune in to learn how to feel the hard stuff without making it harder. And don’t miss the journal prompts at the end if you’re ready to go deeper.
