Healing asks for honesty. It asks us to stop performing strength and start telling the truth about what hurts. For many women, this truth feels heavy at first because silence has always felt safer than vulnerability. But the moment we stop hiding, we begin to heal.
Sometimes healing means setting boundaries and walking away from what no longer serves our peace. Other times, it means sitting still long enough to feel the emotions we’ve ignored. It’s not always pretty or polished, but it is sacred. Each small step toward wholeness is a quiet act of rebellion against everything that once told us we had to be perfect to be loved.
So take the time to slow down. Tell yourself the truth. Let yourself feel. Healing isn’t a finish line to reach; it’s a lifelong commitment to honesty, faith, and love. You are already becoming whole, even on the days when it doesn’t feel like it.
In this episode with LOV, we explore what it truly means to heal, live authentically, and create from a place of truth. From overcoming addiction and setting boundaries to rediscovering joy in creativity, this conversation reminds us that every woman’s path to healing looks different. Together, we talk about the importance of faith, self-awareness, community support, and the ways people try to escape pain and how awareness, not avoidance, opens the door to freedom.
