I was told recently, “You are thriving now.”

And if I’m honest… I didn’t know how to receive that. Because thriving, to me, sounded like peace.

Like rest. Like finally feeling okay.

And that’s not quite where I am.

In this episode, I share what led up to that moment ..from stress that physically impacted my heart…to sitting in a doctor’s office being told I’m “thriving” while still feeling like I’m walking through a very long, very dark tunnel.

We talk about what healing actually looks like after abuse; how your body keeps score…

how stress doesn’t just disappear when you leave… and how sometimes the biggest growth isn’t what you feel… but what others can see in you.

If you’re in that space where life is still hard…

but you know you’re not where you used to be…

This episode is for you.

Because maybe thriving doesn’t feel the way we expected it to.

And maybe that’s exactly where it begins.
