Sometimes, healing feels like grief — not because you’re doing something wrong, but because you’re finally letting go of something that once helped you survive.
Sometimes, healing feels like rage — because your voice was silenced for so long, and now it finally has somewhere to go.
Sometimes, healing feels like emptiness — like standing in the wreckage of an old self with no idea who you’re becoming.

And that’s not failure. That’s healing.

Healing isn’t cute. It’s crying in your car, setting boundaries, and choosing peace over proving a point.

There’s something sacred about the moment after a good cry.

The kind of cry that doesn’t just leak out, but breaks something open.

This wasn’t a cute cry.

This was a full-body release.

A sob-from-your-sternum, snot-in-your-hands, old pain leaving your bones kind of cry.

It wasn’t about one thing.

It was about everything.

Years of holding it in.

Years of bracing.

Years of thinking, “I’ll deal with that later…”

And then finally,

my body said: NOW!

And I let go.

I let go of something I didn’t even fully know I was still carrying.

Something that had been blocking connection.

Safety.

Belonging.

Everything I’ve ever wanted.

And in its place, there’s space now.

Space for softness.

For community.

For being with people in a way that feels nourishing and true.

For holding others - because I’ve finally held myself.

This is what healing can look like.

Healing that makes room for everything sacred.

🖤
If you’re in that in-between space - where it hurts, but it’s also healing... where you’ve cried, and now you’re just quiet…

You’re not alone.

I hold spaces for this.

To make room for whatever’s ready to be released, and whatever’s waiting to arrive.

Self-abandonment doesn’t always look like collapse.

Sometimes it looks like smiling when you want to cry.

Sometimes it looks like saying yes before your body has a chance to answer.

Sometimes it looks like being so “understanding” that you forget you have your own needs.

Let this post be a reckoning, and not something to give you even more shame.

Because the more gently we name these patterns, the more power we get to reclaim.

You don’t have to abandon yourself to belong!

You don’t have to over-explain your no.

You don’t have to earn your softness.

You just get to return.
To your rhythm!
To your body!
To your self-trust!

That’s why I created The Liberation Spell™ - and why it lives inside Feel Good Rebel Academy.

You don’t need more steps.

You need a space that meets you where you are, and walks with you toward who you’re becoming.

I am learning to live my life without my uncle, my grandmother, and my grandfather. No, it’s not because they have passed away; they are still alive. I am surviving and benefiting from my anxiety with them because I can’t be okay with them anymore. I can’t see any possibility of being happy with them anymore. My survival is important; it doesn’t mean I can blindly depend on them.

My past relationship is proof that I am not capable of love and relationships. I am single, and no woman chooses me, which is evidence that I am not lovable. I am going to seek benefits from my depression and anxiety, and I know that fake positivity doesn't always solve this problem. It has been proven since August 2020 that fake positivity will not always work in the long term. By continuously being vulnerable, I believe this is the key for me to become my better self. #RealDepression #NoToxicPositivity #MentalHealthTruth #SingleNotBroken #VulnerabilityWins #HealingIsMessy #AntiSelfHelp #MentalHealth #Vent

Every time stress hits, I find myself trapped in the same pattern. Withdrawal, regret, then scrambling to fix everything. It feels automatic, like something bigger than me takes over. I know what’s happening, though knowing doesn’t always stop it. The freeze response kicks in before I even have a chance to argue.

I’ve spent so much time thinking this was laziness, avoidance, or some personal failing. The truth is, it’s a learned response—one that made sense at some point. My nervous system still believes that reaching out is dangerous. That moving forward carries too much risk. That if I wait long enough, the danger will pass. Except, in adulthood, nothing gets better by waiting.

There are younger parts of me that still believe help isn’t coming. They hold old fears, old memories, old pain. Their logic is clear: doing nothing is safer than doing something wrong. They aren’t trying to sabotage me. They are trying to protect me in the only way they know how.

Then there’s another part—the one that says nothing will change, so stop trying. The one that carries the anger, the exhaustion, the hopelessness. I used to think this part was working against me. Now I see that it’s another protector. It is trying to keep me safe from disappointment, from failure, from getting hurt. It thinks the best way to do that is to shut everything down before I can even begin.

Fighting this cycle hasn’t been about forcing myself to take action. That has never worked. The real work has been in slowing down, noticing what’s happening, and giving these parts a voice.

🔹 Recognizing the freeze when it starts.
🔹 Letting the protector speak instead of shoving it aside.
🔹 Allowing the younger parts to be heard, even when it’s uncomfortable.
🔹 Taking the smallest possible step forward, even when every part of me wants to disappear.

This process is slow. Messy. Frustrating. There are days when it feels like nothing is changing. Then I look at the bigger picture. I stuck with neuroscience despite this pattern. I advocated for myself in counseling. I started writing things down, letting the younger parts speak in ways they never have before.

That is change. That is movement. Even when it doesn’t feel like enough, it is proof that I am not where I used to be.
