Be Rare

Healing doesn’t stop just because you become a parent. In this episode, I share four lessons parenting taught me while I was still healing — real lessons from real life.

I talk about the importance of taking breaks, leaning on your support system, and giving your child the same grace you ask God for as an adult. I share how pouring into yourself allows you to show up as a better parent, and how being aware of your own emotions helps you recognize when you’re “just having one of those days.” Sometimes, that means letting the kids have a fun day while you focus on your own growth.

This episode is for the woman who is:

• Healing while raising someone else

• Learning that parenting can both challenge you and transform you

• Breaking cycles and showing up intentionally for her children

You don’t have to be fully healed to be a good parent. You just have to be willing.

In this deeply personal episode, Raven Haynes shares her own journey of breaking free from letting past mistakes define her future. She opens up about the pivotal moment when having her daughter forced her to get real about her choices and finally look within. From people-pleasing to unhealthy relationships to self-worth struggles, Raven lays it all out—how being self-aware and honest with herself helped her shift from blame to accountability, from shame to growth.

She invites you to do the same: get to know yourself, own your flaws and your power, and rewrite the narrative you’ve been stuck in. Because you are not your mistakes—you are the person who learned from them, grew through them, and is still becoming.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why self-awareness is the real starting point for healing

• How your past decisions can be a blessing, not a burden

• Learning to forgive yourself for repeated patterns

• The power of reframing “mistakes” into life lessons

• Why you must differentiate between a one-time mistake and a constant choice

• Practical reminders to talk to yourself with grace

  
  

Key Quote:
"Some things that were sent to hurt me actually blessed me. I am not my mistakes—I grew through them."

Takeaway Challenge:

1. Look in the mirror and get real: What patterns are you repeating?

2. Give yourself grace—acknowledge that you’re human, not perfect.

3. When you catch yourself beating yourself up, pause and say: I am not my mistakes. I am growing.

   
   

Reminder:
Healing takes time. You won’t break every pattern overnight—but you can choose to get up, learn, and move forward every single day.

In this deeply vulnerable episode of the Be Rare Podcast, Raven gets honest about what it looks like to seek help, especially when the help you get doesn’t seem to work. From bad therapy experiences to spiritual breakthroughs, she shares the highs, lows, and lessons of learning how to ask for help, even when it’s uncomfortable, confusing, or disappointing.

Raven reflects on her healing journey—how growing up without a clear blueprint led her to normalize pain, silence herself, and feel alone in her struggles. But through her faith, persistence, and finally meeting the right life coach, she uncovered the root of her patterns and slowly found her voice, confidence, and freedom.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, unsupported, or like they had to figure it all out on their own. If you’ve tried to get help but felt let down, this is your reminder to keep going. The help that truly changes your life might be just around the corner.

Key Takeaways:

• “Sometimes the help ain’t helping” – And that’s okay. Don’t stop seeking just because the first option didn’t work.

• Go beyond surface-level fixes – True healing comes when you address the root causes of your pain and patterns.

• Books are powerful tools – When therapy isn’t accessible, reading stories of other women overcoming can be just as transformative.

• You don’t need a blueprint – You can be the first in your family to create a new, healed path.

• You don’t have to heal alone – Find a support system, a community, or even one person who can walk with you through the journey.

Memorable Quotes:

“Getting help helped me love me—and I didn’t used to love me.” “Just because the help isn’t helping doesn’t mean you stop trying.” “I don’t want to go to war with life by myself. I want my people with me.” “You can still grow even if you're still getting help. I’m living proof of that.”

Challenge for Listeners:

1. Take a moment to reflect: What area in your life are you still trying to figure out alone?
2. Could you read a book about it? Reach out to someone? Start small, but start.
3. DM Raven your weekly win or where you’ve taken one step toward growth—she’d love to celebrate with you!
