In this raw and candid episode, we dive into the often overlooked reality of healing and mental health. Society, social media, and even popular culture often portray mental health as something neat and tidy—like flipping to Chapter 15 of your self-help book and following a clear set of steps to fix everything. But the truth is, healing is messy. It's emotional flare-ups, triggered states, and moments where things just aren't pretty.
We talk about the importance of embracing our messiness and the power of accepting ourselves—imperfections, emotions, and all. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, we explore how shaming ourselves for feeling "messy" can be a major roadblock in our healing journey. The reality is, being able to sit with discomfort, pain, and difficult emotions without judgment is one of the strongest things we can do.
If you've ever felt pressured to have it all together, this episode is a reminder that messiness is not only normal, it’s a part of the work. We discuss how healing isn’t about being perfect or always having a polished, curated exterior—it’s about being real, sitting with the difficult moments, and accepting every part of ourselves as we navigate our emotional journey.
