Healing Is Not Linear

When we hear other women’s journeys of healing it helps us make sense of our own. In my most honest and raw podcast yet I talk about a big part of my own healing journey and where I am with it now. Healing isn’t something you do just once and it’s done. Healing takes time to unfold. And the layers, oh my the non-linear layers. Sometimes things come up in your healing journey that you thought were over, that you thought were healed. But then they pop back up begging for further light, healing and love. It’s important to acknowledge that you haven’t gone backwards. And it’s ok to be re-triggered sometimes. Why? Because: Healing is NOT linear or simple or straightforward or even obvious. To be honest, I felt VERY vulnerable as I recorded this episode. I had to keep reminding myself that storytelling is healing. That the personal is political. And that making (and sharing) this podcast episode is part of my own healing journey. So, if you are listening to this show it means I put on my “big girl” pants and decided that my story was worth telling. Walk the walk, right? Not just talk the talk. Let's do this! Let’s normalize sharing our healing journeys. Let’s refuse the isolation silos that the patriarchy puts us in. Let’s support each other in our healing journeys. Thanks for bearing witness to part of my healing story. I'd love to hear yours! Listening to one another’s experiences is one of the most curative things we can do. No woman is an island.
