In this bite-sized episode of Healing Out Loud, Jack dives into the painful truth about growth: not everyone will see or accept the changes you’ve made.

After a blog post struck a chord with listeners, he explores the quiet ache of realizing that healing isn’t about proving your worth to others, it’s about learning to honor your own journey, even when those who mattered most may never recognize it.

Jack talks about acceptance without permission, carrying the weight of your progress without validation, and why this is one of the bravest forms of healing. If you’ve ever felt invisible in your growth or frustrated that people cling to old versions of you, this episode is a reminder that your work matters, even if no one else sees it.
