Healing Unedited

In this Healing Unedited Conversation, Becca Post sits down with coach and writer Jacki Carr for an honest, funny, and deeply grounding dialogue about motherhood, grief, identity shifts, and the question that changes everything: what are you yearning for? From the “feral” reality of parenting to the quiet ache of loss, they explore what it means to stop chasing what’s shiny and start staying with what’s true—especially when healing isn’t logical, linear, or Instagram-pretty.

What you’ll hear in this episode

• Why motherhood can ignite an identity shift—and demand a new vision
• Coaching readiness, receiving support, and the accountability of change
• Grief that doesn’t wait for the “right time” (or your morning coffee)
• The “collision of selves”: work-you, family-you, creative-you, wounded-you
• Creativity without perfection (and why joy doesn’t need an outcome)
• How environment and place can support healing and reinvention
• A powerful metaphor: returning to the same beach in every kind of weather
• Living from core values while letting your vision evolve naturally
• Practicing curiosity instead of forcing change

In the final solo episode of Healing Unedited for 2025, Becca Post — therapist, founder of Forward Healing Therapy, and creator of After Therapy® — reflects on what she calls “the year of the snake”: a year of shedding, unraveling, recalibrating, grieving, repeating patterns, and returning home to the parts of herself she buried.

This episode explores the truth of healing in real time: the messy middle, the discomfort of growth, the myth of consistency, and the courage of finally trusting your intuitive gifts. Becca shares how 2025 helped her redefine success, reframe consistency as seasonal, and step fully into the healer she has always been.

With a new year approaching — the “year of the horse,” symbolizing rebirth, clarity, and new beginnings — Becca invites listeners to reflect on the parts of themselves they’ve ignored, rejected, or outgrown. This episode is a gentle reminder that healing has no endpoint; it’s a lifelong homecoming.

You’ll Hear Becca Talk About:

• Why 2025 felt like a year of shedding, unlearning, and unravelingHow the “year of the snake” prepared her for a season of rebirth
• Why she no longer strives for perfectionistic consistency
• The surprising places where she did stay consistentT
• he difference between consistency and seasonal rhythm
• Reclaiming her psychic and intuitive gifts as part of her healing work
• Why healing isn’t about becoming someone new — but returning to who you’ve always been
• The truth about being a healer, a mother, a founder, and a human all at once
• What’s coming for the podcast and her work in 2026

In this episode of Healing Unedited, Becca sits down with Katie Schafer, former nurse practitioner turned coach and yoga teacher, to explore what happens when you’ve done all the “right” things in the medical and therapeutic world… and still don’t feel fully healed. Together, they dive into the messy, nuanced space between Western medicine, functional medicine, intuitive healing, emotional processing, and the reality of being a woman navigating chronic stress, trauma responses, and cycles of survival.

If you’ve ever wondered why therapy helped but didn’t resolve everything…
If you’ve tried supplements, meds, lifestyle changes, and still felt off…
If you’ve questioned why you stayed in the wrong relationship or kept repeating old patterns…
This conversation will feel like a deep exhale.

This episode is grounded in Becca’s signature “heal forward” philosophy — and Katie’s lived experience of healing her autoimmune symptoms, anxiety, and emotional patterns through both science and the woo.

Astrologer and soulful guide Ashley Tracy joins host Becca Post  to demystify astrology and past-life regression as practical tools for healing. Together they explore how your Sun/Moon/Rising can validate inner tension (you’re complex, not broken), what trusting your intuition actually looks like, and why some patterns don’t shift with talk therapy alone. Ashley breaks down past-life regression: what happens, why you won’t get “stuck,” and how the process gives your brain context so your body can finally let go. While Becca and Ashley also touch on kids’ natural intuition (hello, Moon sign), pets as unlikely spiritual guides, and how to stay open to mystery without spiritual bypassing. If you’ve been doing the work and still feel stuck or you’re “woo-curious” but nervous, this one’s for you.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why so many of us are struggling to “plug back in” after years of collective burnout

• The difference between purposeful disconnection vs. body-enforced shutdown

• How awareness—not perfection—is the real marker of change

In this solo episode of Healing Unedited, I finally sit down to share what this summer has really been like—messy, heavy, and full of change. Recording from a hotel room in the city where I went to college, I reflect on how much I’ve shifted in the last ten years, what parts of me have stayed the same, and the new versions of myself I keep meeting.

This isn’t a tidy “here’s how I healed” story—it’s an honest look at what it means to live the Forward Healing way: meeting yourself over and over again, letting go of what no longer fits, and choosing to keep showing up in the messy middle.

If you’ve ever felt like you should have “arrived” by now, this episode will remind you: healing forward isn’t about arriving—it’s about learning to meet yourself here, again and again.
