Healing Through the Heavy

Health EN ↓ 70 episodes

Life is often times heavy, at least in my experience. Fortunately for me, heaviness and what surrounds it has been used as fuel on my healing journey. Heavy convos imo means depth and depth is never draining, in fact, if addressed with an open mind, enlightening. I encourage the hardships that we all face to be brought to the front and center so the real, raw healing can be begin. I'm on a path and though I don't quite know where its taking me yet, I'm listening to my intuition.

Healing Doesn’t Always Look Like Progress 15.05.2025

Send us Fan Mail We talk a lot about growth, change, and healing like they’re straight lines. Like every day should feel lighter. But what if healing is messier than that? What if it’s more about surviving the hard days than it is about shining through them? Today, I want to talk about the ways I’m healing that don’t look or feel like progress—but are

DUMPster fire 21.03.2025

Send us Fan Mail During times like this we need an outlet to talk about the current political climate of the USA. One thing about it, I'm sick and I think if you're not- you should be. This may not be the episode for you and that's okay but its heavy sh*t so were talking about it.

The trauma of being the strong one: When no one checks on you 27.02.2025

The ebb and flow of parenting 07.02.2025

Send us Fan Mail One things for sure, two things for certain- being a parent is hard work. In my experience i've found it to be harder when I'm fighting against my own ego of trying to be right instead of listening to what my child is telling me she needs.. Let's talk about the lesson my 14 year old had to teach me recently.

The challenge to be brave 09.08.2024

Send us Fan Mail Sticking up for yourself is uncomfortable when its territory your unfamiliar with. The problem lies when you spend your whole life never thinking of your future self while dishonoring your present self by not being brave and speaking on heavy things that need to be spoke on. Its a process but one we will tread lightly with. Lets do it. 

Lets stop blocking our blessings 18.07.2024

Send us Fan Mail Listen, sometimes we get so caught up in our own comfort we lose focus on what we really want. I'm more guilty than most when it comes to this but I'm also a believer that we deserve all that we want, sometimes that requires more work than just sitting back and waiting for it come. So how we do we stop blocking our blessings and allow ourselves to receive all that is our...

When is the time to do something hard? 20.06.2024

Send us Fan Mail When your faced with a hard decision in life, how do you know its time to take action? Do you listen to your intuition, do you let things run their course, or do you dip out before things even get challenging? I spent many years in a relationship that didnt serve me because I felt it would be too hard to leave but facing that hard allowed so many doors to open. So when is it time...

Dealing with a dark cloud 23.05.2024

Send us Fan Mail Every so often a dark cloud hovers over me and makes me question my whole reality and sense of self.

Regardless its here so were dealing with it, but how? 

Mistrusting Men 03.05.2024

Send us Fan Mail As women, we, rightfully so have a distrust with men. Maybe not all of us, but if you're one of the few that don't, than consider yourself lucky. I decided I wanted to take that mistrust and maybe work towards healing that wound for no other reason than cause I owe it to myself. So I decided I would start seeing a male therapist and so lets talk about it.

Accepting you're not where you thought you would be 25.04.2024

Send us Fan Mail It's a hard pill to swallow when you tell yourself a story for so long about where you think you'll be, only for it to not plan out the way you originally thought it would. What if thats how it was meant to happen though? What if the goals you set so long ago were for a person you no longer are?  Accepting where we are in life now, is the only way to get where we eventua...

Healing without closure 28.03.2024

Send us Fan Mail Closure is something we all want but rarely get. Sometimes we chase it for so long that we forget life is going on with or without. Though I think its important to honor your feelings and your truth, not getting an "I'm sorry" can only delay you for as long as you let it. Lets talk about how we make peace with it. 

Finding your support 15.03.2024

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes seeing people with big support systems makes me feel envious I won't lie. I've even felt as though I was missing something in my life but what I've come to learn is that its not about the amount of people in your support system but the depth of the relationship with said support. Quality always trumps quantity and we should talk about it. <3

Healing through the hard with mom guilt 22.02.2024

Send us Fan Mail Growing up in my family dynamic, words were used  as ammo to hurt on the deepest level you can hurt someone.

I've done my best to try break that cycle with my own child but there's many challenging moments where my brain just wants to go there. Personally, I don't but in...

Do you truly accept your partner for who they are? 01.02.2024

Send us Fan Mail Recently, Ryan and I had a disagreement where he told me he doesn't always feel accepted by me and though it was hard to hear, I'm certain it was harder to FEEL on his end. Everyone is raised in different ways with unique backgrounds, that form us into the adults we become. Him sharing such a vulnerable topic with me was something I really sat with and gave a lot of thou...

Being your own advocate 26.01.2024

Send us Fan Mail *Trigger warning* This episode will be my hardest to date for many reasons but one being I speak of the many SA's i've experienced in my life and why I wish I would have advocated for myself.

Staying grounded with "everyones" opinions 11.01.2024

Send us Fan Mail Something about the term, "everyone says that" has always drove me up a wall. Im not a fan of generalizing anything let alone when it comes to my opinion of people or important topics. Hearing the term 'everyone' can feel isolating when you're trying to stand strong on who you are. In episode 48, Ill talk about it why I think its important why were mindful...

healing through...past trauma 07.12.2023

Send us Fan Mail We've all got stories from our past that either made us or broke us. This specific incident not only broke me  but made me feel so helpless and just praying for something  or someone to save me from my own nightmare. It was the beginning of my journey to realizing I had no choice but step out in the world and just face whatever comes my way. Anything was better than I had.. 

Remaining above the surface when you really want to sink 01.12.2023

Send us Fan Mail The hardest thing to do when you're faced with heavy challenges is remain in touch with yourself. Often times when our external life is in low vibrations, we internal it and try to bring our mind down with it. Its an easy thing to do after all, but how do we stay above the surface and keep our head in a good place so we can rise above and continue forward on a path we want to...
