You know that moment when everything finally feels steady?
Your nervous system is calm.
You’re grounded.
You start to trust again.

And then, something happens.
A delay. A trigger. A rejection.
And suddenly you’re right back in those old feelings, control, fear, doubt, wondering if you somehow lost all the progress you made.

You didn’t.

In this week’s episode of SOUL DESIRE, I’m talking about what it really means to ride the waves after healing, when your nervous system has found safety, but life still hands you moments that test it.

I’ll share how I hold myself through those fluctuations without spiraling back into survival mode, how I remind myself that healing doesn’t erase the waves, it teaches you how to float.

If you’ve been feeling like you’ve “fallen back” into old patterns, this one’s for you.
You haven’t failed.
You’re just being invited to deepen your safety.

If you or someone you know is struggling or thinking about ending their life, please reach out for help. You are not alone. There is support available right now.
