About this episode

How do you heal when it still hurts? Healing is hard, but staying stuck is harder. What if you stopped trying to ‘get over it’ and focused on actually healing instead? In this powerful episode of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m breaking down what real healing looks and feels like… and why it’s not about forgetting the past, but learning how to stop letting it control you. I’ll show you how to recognise quiet signs of progress, how to work through emotional pain (without rushing it), and how to make peace with what hurt you so you can move forward. Whether you’re healing from trauma, grief, family dysfunction, or something else entirely, this episode is your reminder that you’re not broken; you’re healing… one brave, messy step at a time.


👉 Ready to learn how to support your own healing, even if you still feel stuck? Then let’s talk!


💡 TL;DR: Still hurting and wondering why you’re not ‘over it’ yet? This episode reveals what real healing looks like… and why it’s nothing like you’ve been told. 😃


💬 Let me know:   What’s one small thing you can start doing this week to support your healing?
