Loving someone who has experienced trauma comes with a sacred responsibility.

Yes, they may be healing. Yes, they may seem strong now. But healing is not amnesia. It’s not a green light to ignore what broke them.

Healing doesn’t mean:
— You get to speak however you want.
— You get to demand “normal” reactions.
— You get to act like nothing ever happened.

It means they’re fighting daily to show up, to love, to trust, and to build something beautiful despite what they’ve been through.

So if you love them romantically, platonically, or as family, understand that your presence must feel like safety, not another battlefield.

💭 Trauma leaves fingerprints. Healing doesn’t erase them.
💚 Loving someone with a past means honoring it, not avoiding it.

Let’s talk.

Have you ever wondered if you’re really healing… or just surviving?

You’re not alone.

On this week’s Healed-ish podcast (on Spotify or anywhere you get your podcasts), we’re answering the raw questions about healing that we all think but don’t always say out loud.

✨ How do I know if I’m healing?
✨ Why do I still get triggered?
✨ What does real progress even look like?

🎧 The new episode is live — go listen, share with a friend. Here's the link: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1mO4V7oYKJT1wWgFhEY7A4?si=mu0ZTVdSS-K9zBBhDQVxLA&nd=1&dlsi=2952952f5a8b4cae

And tell me: what does healing look like for YOU right now?

Healing doesn’t always begin with a diagnosis.
Sometimes, it starts with a whisper:

“Something’s not right… and I think I’m allowed to notice.”

In Episode 1 of Healed-ish, we’re starting from the very beginning — with awareness.
The moment you realize you’ve been carrying more than you thought.

🔹 Trust issues, betrayal, or fear of abandonment

Have you ever set a boundary only to feel guilty, second-guess yourself, or let it slide the moment someone pushes back?

For many, struggling with boundaries isn’t just a bad habit—it’s a survival response. If you grew up in environments where saying “no” led to conflict, rejection, or punishment, your brain may now associate boundaries with danger. So even as an adult, enforcing them can feel uncomfortable, triggering anxiety or guilt.

I’ve seen it in my clients, and I’ve felt it myself. Setting a boundary can feel like you’re being selfish or difficult. But here’s the truth: Boundaries are not about pushing people away; they are about protecting your well-being.

So, what do you do when sticking to boundaries feels impossible? Here are a few things that help:

✅ Start Small – Begin with one simple boundary, like not answering work messages after hours or saying “no” to something minor.

✅ Expect Discomfort – If you’re used to people-pleasing, setting boundaries will feel uncomfortable at first. That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong—it means you’re growing.

✅ Stick to It – Some people may push back at first. That’s normal. Stand firm. The right people will respect your limits; the wrong ones will reveal themselves.

✅ Remember: It’s Not Selfish – Boundaries protect your energy and peace, allowing you to show up as your best self in every area of life.

If setting and keeping boundaries has been hard for you, you’re not alone. It takes time, practice, and sometimes healing from the past.

What’s one boundary you need to set (or reinforce) this year? Let’s talk in the comments. ⬇️

Healing from trauma is a journey, and while therapy is a powerful tool, it’s not the only path to recovery. If therapy is out of reach right now, here are some practical steps to take:

1. Educate Yourself: Knowledge is key. Reading, listening to podcasts, or exploring trauma-informed books (like The Trauma Healer’s Self-Care Strategies for a Resilient New Year) can equip you with tools to begin healing. The purchase link is in my bio.

2. Journaling: Writing down your thoughts and emotions can help you process your experiences. Start with simple prompts like, What do I feel today? What triggered me, and how can I respond differently next time?

3. Build a Support System: Healing thrives in community. Share your journey with trusted friends or seek out safe spaces for sharing.

4. Practice Boundaries: Create a safe emotional environment by saying no to draining or triggering situations. Your peace matters.

5. Engage in Mind-Body Practices: Activities like walking, or deep breathing help bridge the gap between your mind and body.

6. Faith and Meditation: Prayer and meditation on God's Word always provides comfort and clarity in difficult moments.

7. Join a Healing Community: Healing is hard to do alone. Later this year, I’ll be launching two Telegram groups: Women in Healing and Men in Healing. These groups will provide a safe space to learn, share, and grow together. For just $1/month, participants will access exclusive resources, discussions, and guided exercises to support their healing journey. If this sounds like what you need, click the link in my bio to join the wait-list!

Healing isn’t about rushing or getting it all right. It’s about showing up for yourself, even on the hardest days. Start small, be consistent, and trust the process—you’ve got this.

Have you ever caught yourself wishing you could rewrite the past? Maybe a different decision, a slight shift in timing, or saying "no" instead of "yes" could’ve changed everything.

For many trauma survivors, the weight of regret can feel unbearable. Whether it’s wishing you hadn’t trusted that person, hadn’t attended that event, or had spoken up sooner, the “what-ifs” can haunt you.

But here’s the truth: no amount of regret can rewrite the past. What happened cannot be undone. And while this might feel heavy, it’s also where freedom begins.

Instead of turning back time, what if we chose to focus on what’s ahead? What if we acknowledged the pain but refused to let it dictate our future? Healing starts when we realize that even though we can’t change yesterday, we have immense power over what we do today.

You have the strength to move forward—not just in spite of what happened but also through it. And as you step into this new week, remember: regret doesn’t own you, and healing is always within reach.

Here’s to choosing hope over hindsight and action over regret.
