You Can’t Heal in a Place That Requires You to Pretend

from Keena’s Korner · host Keena Matthews

You can’t heal in a place that requires you to pretend.Pretend you’re okay. Pretend it didn’t hurt. Pretend you’re not tired. Pretend you’re over it. Truth is, pretending might help you survive, but it won’t help you heal. In this episode of Keena’s Korner, we’re talking about why healing begins with honesty, why some environments reward performance, and why you don’t owe anyone the performance of being okay.

God, S*x, & Everything In Between with Anahita Joon Anahita Joon Welcome to God, S*x & Everything Inbetween. I am Anahita Joon. Born and raised in Islamic Iran, I migrated to the US when I was 14 and began the journey to embodied freedom. For over a decade, I have been supporting female leaders to break free from systemic oppression and embrace the sacredness that is the core of every woman. This is the place you come to remember your innate wholeness, your innate Divinity and your utter and complete permission to be just the way you are. Each week, I will bring you interviews along with my spiritual and practical teachings. We’ll explore both the sacred and profane and dive deeply into all the things that have robbed women of our power and that good girls don’t talk about. Explicit
