A Note to the One Still Healing: You’re Becoming


Listen Later

The butterfly doesn't simply heal its caterpillar body—it transforms completely into something new. This truth mirrors our own journey through trauma and healing, offering wisdom that transcends pretty metaphors to become actual survival strategies.

When trauma creates that distinct "before and after" in our lives, we often desperately try to return to who we were. But inside the messy middle—what scientists call the "imaginal disks" within a cocoon—lies the genetic code for complete metamorphosis. Your healing isn't about returning to your former self but allowing your future self to develop. That overwhelming void after trauma? It's not a permanent residence but the starting point of transformation.
In this episode, I share five lessons the butterfly leitmotif has taught me about life after trauma — lessons that are more than metaphors, they’re survival strategies. Together we’ll explore:

  • How to allow your future self to develop even in the messy middle.
  • Why embracing the unknown can open the path to healing.
  • The sailor’s wisdom of “heaving to” and finding balance in life’s storms.
  • What it means to pause and turn toward the light, no matter how small the flicker.
  • How to soar toward flourishing, embracing joy, peace, and purpose.

Constant Listener, trauma will change you — but it doesn’t have to break you. Like the butterfly, you can rest, transform, and rise into a future more radiant than you imagined.

I pray that the roots of setbacks, storms, satanic attacks, and even self-sabotage erode, crumble, and wither away, to be replaced by the incorruptible strength, peace, and joy that only heaven can give that will neither change nor fade.
