In this episode, I’m opening up about what healing really looks like — not the filtered, polished version we often see online, but the messy, painful, beautiful truth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re getting it wrong, falling behind, or not “healing fast enough,” this one’s for you.

I share my personal journey through trauma, relapse, and the quiet moments of progress that no one sees — getting out of bed, walking my son to school, choosing to stay. Because healing isn’t a straight line. It doesn’t come with a rulebook. And it definitely doesn’t mean you’re “fixed.”

We talk about:

• What healing feels like in the early days

• Why it often gets harder before it gets easier

• The myth of timelines and “closure”

• The little victories that matter most

• And the truth: you’re not behind — you’re healing.

This is a conversation for anyone who’s still fighting, still feeling, and still showing up. You’re not alone.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of trauma, self-harm, hospitalisation, and suicidal ideation. Please take care while listening.
