The Honest Pause
Life doesn’t come with a pause button, but sometimes we need one. The Honest Pause is your space to reflect, reconnect, and laugh a little as we navigate the beautiful mess of life. Hosted by Teryl Rothery—actress, intuitive coach, and hypnotherapist—and Maryam Taheri—entrepreneur, business strategist, and leadership expert—we tackle the real challenges of ambition, relationships, and finding yourself in the chaos.

Why Healing Sometimes Feels Worse Before It Feels Better
Episode 2 – Why Healing Feels Worse Before It Feels Better
Episode Description:
You’re doing all the “right” things — therapy, journaling, setting boundaries — and yet… it still feels heavy. In this episode, Teryl Rothery and Maryam Taheri dive into the raw, often overlooked part of growth: when healing doesn’t feel like progress.
Together, they explore why change can feel so uncomfortable, what the “messy middle” of healing really looks like, and why feeling worse doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong — it means you’re doing the work.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why doesn’t this feel better yet?” — you’re not alone, and this episode is for you.'
