What happens when your healing journey refuses to follow your timeline? When the results you expected don’t arrive… and you’re still waiting for clarity, energy, or answers?

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Vanessa Lopez, host of the Intentionally Well podcast and wellness advocate, invites us behind the scenes of her own long, nonlinear healing season. We talk about identity, grief, hope, and what it really means to stay grounded when your body and your life don’t look like you thought they would.

This is an episode for the woman who looks strong on the outside…while quietly wondering if she’s running out of resilience on the inside.

If you’re navigating chronic health challenges, burnout recovery, spiritual growth, or the quiet ache of unmet expectations, this conversation will breathe life back into your belief. 💛

✨ What You’ll Learn

  • How healing evolves over time, and why it’s rarely linear
  • The emotional reality of long seasons of waiting
  • Faith, identity, and trust when the outcome is still unfolding
  • Why we must tell our stories before we’re “on the other side”
  • How grief shows up in the loss of dreams and expectations
  • The pressure and imposter syndrome of working in the wellness space while still healing yourself
  • Grounding practices for moments of overwhelm and fear
  • The narratives to unlearn when your body changes the plan
  • A new meaning of hope when life feels suspended
