She Grew Anyway (A Be Still & Grow Production)

Sis, we can spend a lot of time trying to understand why someone hurt us, what they did, and how it changed our lives. But what happens when healing starts showing us things about ourselves?

In this episode of the She Grew Anyway podcast, we're continuing our season of The Breaking and talking about the moment our healing journey becomes less about what happened to us and more about what happened within us because of it.

We're talking about the reactions we've developed, the ways we've learned to protect ourselves, and how past hurt can influence the way we show up in relationships today.

This isn't about blaming yourself for what someone else did. It's about allowing God to search your heart, renew your thinking, and help you recognize what you no longer need to carry.

Scripture: Psalm 139:23–24

Healing with God means being willing to look within, even when what we discover is uncomfortable. And sis, recognizing those patterns can be the beginning of learning how to respond differently.

Remember, what hurt you doesn't have to decide how you move for the rest of your life.

Sis, healing has seasons, but God is faithful in every one of them.

If you've ever said, “That's just how I am,” without stopping to think about where that part of you came from?

Hurt can change the way we trust, respond, and protect ourselves. After a while, those responses become so familiar that we don't even question them anymore.

In this episode of *She Grew Anyway*, we're talking about recognizing what past experiences may have taught us and allowing God to renew the parts of our thinking that are still influenced by hurt.

Because not everything you learned through pain needs to follow you into your next season.

Romans 12:2 (KJV)

Healing has seasons, but God is faithful in every one of them.

What if you never get the explanation?

No apology. No admission. No answer that finally makes everything make sense.

It’s easy to believe healing will come once we understand why it happened or why someone did what they did. But waiting for answers can keep us connected to a situation long after God is ready to begin healing what it left behind.

In this episode of the She Grew Anyway Podcast, Alicia talks about releasing the need to know why, separating what you know from what you’ve assumed, and bringing the part that actually hurt to God.

Psalm 147:3 reminds us, “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”

Sis, you may never get every answer.

But your healing doesn’t have to wait for one.

Season 3: What Healing With God Really Looks Like

Episode 4 — Is It Even Yours?

You saw the problem. But who said it was yours to fix?

Sis, some of us have gotten so used to stepping in, helping, fixing, and carrying that we don't even stop to ask whether what we're carrying actually belongs to us.

In this episode of She Grew Anyway, we're talking about learning to pause before picking something up and asking one simple question:

“God, is this even mine?”

Because just because you notice it doesn't mean you're responsible for it.

Scripture: Hebrews 12:1

This is part of The Breaking, our first season of healing in Season 3, as we continue talking about what healing with God really looks like

Sis, who told you that you always had to be strong?

You know how we do. We keep going. We show up. We handle what needs to be handled, even when we're hurting. And after a while, we start calling that strength.

But what if some of that strength is really survival?

In this episode, we're talking about what happens when you've gotten so good at surviving that you don't even realize you're still in survival mode. And we're going to 2 Corinthians 12 to look at what Paul learned when he took his weakness to God.

Sis, survival may have gotten you through, and thank God it did. But you don't have to stay in survival mode just because survival got you here.

Let's talk about it. 💛

Healing starts when you finally admit, “God, that hurt me.”

In Episode 2 of She Grew Anyway, we're talking about the first season of healing: The Breaking.

The Breaking is that place where you begin to recognize what happened, how it affected you, and what actually hurt. Because before you can heal from something, you have to be honest about what it did to you.

It could be the loss of someone you loved, a relationship that ended, a family that changed, a violation, a disappointment, or something you prayed for that didn't happen.

This episode is about giving yourself permission to say what you may have avoided saying for a long time:

“God, that hurt me.”

Psalm 34:18 reminds us that God is near to the brokenhearted. You don't have to make the hurt smaller. You can bring it to Him just as it is.

This is The Breaking. And this is where healing begins.

Season 3, Episode 1: Healing Has Seasons

Sis, we're doing things a little differently this season.

We're taking five minutes each episode to talk about the seasons of healing and what that really looks like.

And we're starting here: healing has seasons.

There are seasons when you feel like you're breaking. Seasons when things start coming to the surface. Seasons of letting go, rebuilding, and growing.

And just because something comes back up doesn't mean you're going backwards.

In this episode, we're talking about giving yourself permission to be where you are in your healing and trusting God there.

You can be broken open and still have something in you that can grow.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Healing has seasons, but God is faithful in every one of them.

Have you ever had something bother you and immediately wondered, Wait… I thought I was healed from this?

In this episode, Alicia has a real heart-to-heart about what healing actually looks like. She explores why feeling something again doesn’t always mean you’ve gone backward, and why one hard moment doesn’t erase the growth God has already done in you.

Through the story of Joseph, this conversation reminds us to pay attention not only to what we feel, but to what happens after we feel it. Because the evidence of healing may be in what no longer has the same hold on you, what you no longer run back to, and how differently you respond now.

This episode includes prayer and a simple growth assignment to help you recognize the healing you may not be able to see yet.

You may be doing better than you think you are.

Have you ever wondered if you’re really healing because you still remember what happened, still feel certain emotions, or still get triggered?

In Episode 16 of the She Grew Anyway Podcast, we’re talking about the healing you can’t see.

Healing with God doesn’t always look like forgetting what happened or never feeling anything again. Sometimes the evidence of healing is in your response.

The thing that used to ruin your whole day doesn’t anymore.

You still notice it.

You still feel it.

But it doesn’t take over.

In this episode, we talk about how to recognize emotional and spiritual healing, how God changes the heart, and how to tell whether you’re responding from your wounds or from your healing.

Scripture: Ezekiel 36:26

Waiting has a way of making us feel like life is on hold.

We tell ourselves we'll move forward when the prayer is answered, the door opens, or the situation changes. But what if God is inviting us to live, grow, and heal right here in the waiting?

In this week's conversation, we're talking about what it looks like to keep moving forward while trusting God's timing. Waiting isn't empty. It isn't wasted. It's often the place where God does some of His deepest work.

If you're in a season of wondering, "Lord... now what?" this episode is for you.

Scripture: Psalm 27:14

Thank you for listening to the She Grew Anyway Podcast. My prayer is that every episode encourages you to keep healing with God, one layer at a time.
