In this episode of Dear Estranged Heart, Kreed responds to the question, “What does healing even look like?” by describing healing as a quiet, inner transformation rather than a single, dramatic event. Drawing from her work as an estrangement coach & reconciled mom, Kreed shares personal signs of healing: less reactivity, greater emotional curiosity, a preference for peace over defensiveness, and a release of the need to prove anything. Healing, she explains, brings softness, empathy, and a deeper connection to one’s authentic self—often very different from the defensive identity once formed through pain. Kreed stresses that healing is not linear or final; it's an ongoing process of evolution and self-revelation. As one heals, they become less invested in revenge or being right, and more open to differences and compassion. Ultimately, healing is about coming home to oneself and choosing love over fear or control.

TAKEAWAYS

1. Healing is a shift in how you respond, not just how you feel.

2. Your sense of self evolves as you heal.

3. Healing is not a destination, but an ongoing process.

4. Compassion becomes more accessible.
