Permission to Not Be Okay: A Raw Conversation on Healing
In this vulnerable episode, I peel back the curtain on my recent struggle with resurfacing childhood trauma. Despite years of therapy, I share how a recent interview unexpectedly reopened old wounds with my father, plunging me into a space of heaviness and contemplation. I reveal the raw moment when I broke down at lunch with friends, finally acknowledging the weight I'd been carrying and allowing myself to receive support instead of always giving it.
I offer this deeply personal story as a reminder that healing isn't linear and that even cheerleaders sometimes need their crowns fixed. If you've ever felt like you should be "over" something by now, or if you're struggling beneath a cheerful exterior while feeling broken inside, this episode will validate your experience and remind you that you're never alone in these complicated human emotions—and that asking for help might be exactly the medicine you need.
Key Takeaways:
- Healing from childhood trauma is not a linear process
- The power of vulnerability and seeking support
- Importance of addressing emotional wounds
- Strategies for personal growth and self-discovery
- Feeling difficult emotions rather than numbing them
