Healing Requires Humility
from Fairyqueen Talks Hosted by Fairyqueen Tatiana
Healing is rarely instant, even when we’ve done the brave thing. In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of living with a lower back fracture for years, finally seeking medical support, enduring one of the most painful procedures of my life, and learning that improvement doesn’t mean the pain immediately disappears. When my mother-in-law said, If you still feel pain, you know you’re still healing,” it shifted my perspective entirely. We explore the humility and patience required in recovery, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. I reflect on the parallels between strengthening the body and strengthening the mind: progressive overload, embracing discomfort, resting with intention, and focusing on process over outcome. Healing exposes our impatience. It confronts our lack of trust. But it also gives us the opportunity to grow. If you are doing the work and wondering why results aren’t instant, this episode is your reminder: Slow healing is still healing.
