The Healing Project Podcast
We are here to share another side of the story of dating in your 30s. Through stories, laughter, tears and learning we want you to come along the journey with us as we navigate the chaotic world of relationships. Sometimes you just need to know that you’re not alone in the painful parts of life and that someone gets it. We’re here for that.
We are two counsellors using hope, laughter and authenticity to navigate this tricky part of life. We live busy, fulfilling lives while desiring to find the type of love that changes you. We both have plenty of experience in the ups and downs of dating & single life. We hope to share our stories of love, bravery, failure, heartbreak and hard earned wisdom.
We don’t apologise for our faith.
We don’t apologise for swearing.
We don’t apologise for being brave with our lives
And we don’t apologise for knowing what we deserve and not settling for less.
We hope that as you listen to our stories that you find a piece of your own story amongst them. Ultimately that is what it is all about right? While we are searching and connecting with the people meant to be in our lives we are also making sure we never lose ourselves along the way. So, I hope you join us on this journey as we navigate life, love, heartbreak, grief and joy. We see you out there and we’re with you.

The Truth About Grief – Myths That Need to Go
This week on The Healing Project Podcast, we’re talking about something that touches all of us eventually — grief — and breaking down some of the most unhelpful (but wildly common) myths that surround it.
You’ve probably heard things like:
✨ “There are five stages and you just move through them”
✨ “You should be over it by now”
✨ “Kids don’t really understand grief”
✨ “Being strong means moving on”
Here’s the truth: Grief is messy. It’s not linear. It doesn’t follow a timeline. And strength doesn’t mean pretending you're fine.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why the “five stages of grief” model doesn’t reflect most people’s experience
- How children do grieve — just differently than adults
- What real strength looks like in the middle of heartbreak
- How grief can change you, but also grow you
- What it means to survive the “grief storm” and slowly find your way back to yourself
This episode is a gentle reminder that you’re not broken if you’re still grieving — even years later. There’s no right way to do this. But there is hope. There is life after loss. And there is space for your story, just as it is.
💬 "If you're looking for some hope, this one’s for you."
