What If Healing Feels Worse Before It Works

Send us Fan MailA deadline doesn’t change your life until it has teeth. We’re celebrating a two-year milestone for the podcast, and I’m using it as a mirror for something I’ve struggled with for a long time: consistency. I talk honestly about what finally got me moving after months of slow progress, including the truth about how I treat deadlines and why “last minute panic” is not a plan. Then we get practical with accountability. I’m in a self-paced online degree program at WGU, and self-paced only works when you build your own structure. I share how I finished two classes in one week by attaching a real incentive and consequence to a firm date. Yes, London is on the line, and yes, my Eagles playing there makes it even more personal. If you’re trying to finish school, hit a career goal, pay off debt, or build a habit, you’ll leave with concrete ideas for rewards and penalties that keep you locked in. The second half goes deeper into my healing journey, part two of 2023. I walk through June’s tantrum phase, July’s wake-up call that people are watching how we handle hard seasons, and the ugly withdrawal period that stretches from August through December. We talk about old coping mechanisms, spiraling thoughts, depression, anxiety, and the slow work of unlearning beliefs planted by past relationships. The big takeaway: healing has levels, and rushing recovery to look okay is how you stay stuck. If this resonates, listen through to the end, then subscribe, share this with a friend who needs accountability, and leave a review telling me what consequence or reward would actually get you to the finish line.You are Loved!Not just a little, but greatlyNot just today, but foreverNot just by some,But by the ONE who created you in His LoveAnd HE's Not The ONLY OneWe Love You Unconditionally                      &There's nothing you can do to change it!!!!Listen and Subscribe on Youtubehttps://youtube.com/@beclaypod?si=qY0dYDYXxviLM-l6Follow Me on Instagram@beclaypodFollow I Spy You Buy for the best Philly Thrift Experience!! @ispyyoubuy
