This week is a little different.
No guest. No script. Just me sitting down to answer some of the biggest questions about healing, toxic family systems, misogyny, masculinity, forgiveness, grief, social media, and everything in between.
I talk about why I no longer believe healing works the way I once thought it did, why toxic systems protect the people causing harm, why forgiveness isn't always necessary, and the question I wish we all asked each other more often.
If you've ever wondered whether you're doing healing "wrong" because you're still struggling, this episode is for you.
In this episode we explore:
Why healing doesn't mean you'll never struggle again.
Why we keep chasing love from parents who couldn't give it.
Why families protect the person causing harm.
Toxic relationships and the systems that enable them.
Patriarchy, misogyny, and why people become defensive.
What I'm still learning to accept about myself.
The grief nobody talks about.
Masculinity and why I think we're asking the wrong questions.
Therapy language, social media, and when words lose their meaning.
Forgiveness versus simply letting go.
The one question I wish people asked more often.
If this episode resonated with you, I'd really appreciate it if you left a review, shared it with someone who needs to hear it, or posted it on social media and tagged me.
