to the black girl in healing: saying yes to something new

To the black girl who is in the season she always hoped for, but it doesn’t feel how you expected, I see you.Healing isn’t always flowers and rainbows. Sometimes, even when we get exactly what we hoped, wished, and prayed for, we still find ourselves feeling uncomfortable. In healing, we might still get triggered, feel anxiety, and go through our highs and lows.It’s not that healing isn’t possible. The truth is: healing is not about the absence of discomfort or challenges, it’s about growing the capacity to hold the discomfort that comes with much of what we want.Connection, success, being seen—all those things can feel just as anxiety-provoking as the things we don’t want (and sometimes more!). In those seasons of “finally”, it’s truly that we get to use all the tools, skills, and insights we developed during the storm. In this episode, we’ll discuss:The surprising truths about healingHow to reframe our expectations of what our “seasons in bloom” might feel likeHow to stay grounded when things get hard, even in seasons of blooming and healingWhy embracing the inevitable ups and downs of life actually help us feel joyBe sure to listen to & meditate on all episodes this month as a blueprint for your season in bloom 🤎Enjoyed the episode?
