In this episode of This Is Healing by Kontortion with Kalise, I dive into one of the most overlooked truths about the healing journey: it’s not a straight line. Healing comes with setbacks, revisiting old wounds, and moments where you feel like you’ve slipped backwards. But each loop, each pause, and each stumble is still part of the forward motion.

I’ll share how I’ve navigated those moments when old patterns resurface, what vulnerability has taught me about true strength, and why self-compassion is the key to moving through the hard days without shame.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged because your healing doesn’t look “perfect” this episode is here to remind you that your journey is valid, messy, and beautifully your own.
