Episode 5 | Coming Home to Wholeness | Part 2 with Kerriann Mackenzie - Grief, Healing Cycles & Self-Responsibility

from The Four Pillars of Healing · host Nichola Hand

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Kerriann and I explore wholeness, grief, repeating cycles, and the courage it takes to take responsibility for your own healing.Healing isn’t linear - it’s a spiral back to love.Hey beautiful humans… quick note before we dive in.First - I’m sorry this Part 2 is landing late.I was actually bitten by a spider and it knocked me around for a couple of weeks. Then I went into a deep writing cave (because… that’s what I do when life asks me to), and I had a few tech gremlins to sort out behind the scenes - but we’re back, we’re steady, and I’ve navigated it all now.And I’m really grateful you’re here.Tonight’s episode is Kerriann Mackenzie - Part 2, and honestly… it’s one of those conversations that doesn’t just inform you - it meets you.We go deep into wholeness… not as some “perfect healed version” we’re trying to become, but as the brave return to the truth that all parts of us belong - even the messy parts, the unhealed parts, the ego parts, the parts we tried to reject to be “spiritual enough” or “strong enough”.Kerriann shares so powerfully that alignment isn’t something new to create - it’s what we reclaim by unlearning, tending to our wounds, and gathering the parts of us that went missing.We talk about grief - the kind that cracks your life open - and how healing often comes in cycles.How life loops us back, not to punish us… but to invite us deeper.There’s a moment where we speak about grief as a black hole in the heart - and how healing doesn’t mean jumping in and being consumed… it can look like sitting on the edge, dipping your toes in, letting yourself feel, and then choosing to step back out again when you need to.We also speak about the questions that change everything:What am I avoiding?Where am I abandoning myself?What am I pretending not to know?Because those questions don’t shame you - they bring you home.In this episode, we move through:what wholeness actually feels like (and why all of you is welcome)grief as a teacher - and why it returns in wavescycles repeating until we choose a new responsethe difference between observing emotions and bypassing themwhat it looks like to stop being “perfect” and let yourself feeland the signs you’re healing… even when it feels like you’re going backwardsIf you’re listening and you’ve felt like you’ve lost a part of yourself - I want you to hear this clearly:you are not broken.Nothing is lost.There are parts of you that are simply waiting to be met with love.Alright… let’s drop in.Kerriann Mackenzie - Part 2.Let me know what lands for you in the comments, and if you’re on a healing path right now, I’m holding you so gently.
