When we think about trauma healing, it’s easy to imagine we need to dive headfirst into the hardest parts like reliving stories, unpacking everything at once, and somehow healing fast. But what if real healing starts with something much simpler?
In this heartfelt and vulnerable episode, I talk about the quiet power of small habits. The daily actions that rebuild self-trust, confidence, and connection. From taking a walk even when it feels hard, to drinking water, going to the doctor without shame, or opening up to a friend, these small promises to ourselves can create massive change.
I also open up about my own current season being three months postpartum, navigating a new family dynamic, and processing difficult news about my daughter’s upcoming heart surgery. Through it all, it was the tiny acts of care that got me through.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not “doing enough” to heal, this episode is for you. Let’s shift the lens from dramatic transformation to gentle, daily rituals of self-love. At the end, I’ll leave you with one question to carry forward:
