I’ve been on a little social meida hiatus and gathered a few gems 💎 since…

Let me be real.
There’s so much f**king talk in the self-help world about healing—like it’s the point
Or the end game.

But the more I live, the more I realize: that rhetoric is a f**king scam.
Healing isn’t some magical benchmark we hit where the pain disappears, the patterns stop, and suddenly we’re “whole.”

Nope.
It’s a continuum.
A lifelong, chronic, sometimes annoying yet mystical deepening.

Just when you think you’ve worked through your s**t—and then boom: a relationship triggers something new. Or old. Or the same wound in a different outfit.
It’s not a failure. It’s just… the work.

What’s missing in so many of these conversations isn’t more tips on fixing yourself—
It’s the radical softness of REAL self-love.

That’s the real medicine.
Not how healed you are.
But how gently you meet yourself when you’re not.

We’ve created this myth that you have to be “healed” to be worthy.
To be a good partner.
To start the business.
To move forward.

But for anyone who’s lived through some s**t—you know healing isn’t a destination. It’s a loop.
A spiral. A return.
And every time you come back to yourself with less shame and more grace—
That’s the work.

And let me say this too:
I’m tired of all the punitive, shaming posts about “unhealed people.”
Yes, we are responsible for our impact. Yes, we have to do our inner work.
But growth doesn’t require a goddamn badge.
It requires resonance.
Compassion.
And the ability to sound like the unconditional parent most of us never had when the s**t hits the fan.

The priority isn’t perfection.
It’s resonance with who we really are and who we’re becoming.
It’s the sanctuary we’re still building.
The quiet voice inside that says:
“You’re still worthy. Even in this.”
“You’re allowed to f**k up and still be magical.”
“You don’t have to be fully healed to be deeply lovable.”

Healing isn’t the goal.
Coming home to yourself is.
Over and over and over… again.

Hi, my name is ✨Emma Clarke✨
This year in 2025 I will be graduating from Western Carolina’s Masters of Social Work program. I feel immense gratitude towards the opportunity to expand my clinical practice within my education and through placement at The Pearl Institute. I am deeply passionate about working with Q***r and diverse populations, as well as communities that surround conversations of the aging process, palliative and hospice care. Additionally, I am a large advocate for the expansion of psychedelic medicines and alternative mental health treatments. I’m am ecstatic to see what growth this last semester of my education holds for my professionalism. I hope that if you choose to be a part of the community coaching clinic that we will get to grow, learn, and expand together!

My name is ✨John Gardner✨, i’m a graduate student at Western Carolina getting a Masters in Social Work with an emphasis on psychedelic-assisted therapy. My background as a professional skateboarder and advocate for mental health and su***de prevention led me to teaching meditation/breathwork workshops and starting my own business called Nothing But Today. I enjoy teaching the basics of stress regulation and holding space and I look forward to holding space for you.

Another failed mental health tragedy ….

Sinead was so punk 👊🏽🖤 yet she is just another quintessential example of somebody who had complex PTSD that went unchecked and untreated for too long. Like so many, she was unfortunately shuffled through our completely broken mental health system (even as a woman with resource) just to be misdiagnosed with bipolar along with a myriad of other pathological bulls**t, never having her trauma effectively treated. THIS is an example of what happens when we have a society that fetishizes colonized medicine, the DSM and a culture that overlooks the humanity in someone.

Not only was she trapped within her own confines of intergenerational trauma and suffering but the loss of her son, by su***de is probably one of the deepest pains, a human being can experience. I watched her story play out from a far similar to other celebrities like Amy Winehouse, Max Miller and Kanye feeling both anger as well grave disappointment in there mental outcomes. It goes to show that even people with access to resource are still not getting appropriate and accurate treatment. We may in someways have normalized mental health, but we sure as f**k do not have a grasp on it or have even begin to scratch the surface on the macro issues contributing to the severe decline of mental health around the world especially w/ vulnerable populations.

And again, like so many….Our society failed her….

She was an epic legend and an example of what resistance really looks like 👊🏽 —-nevertheless a super sad story

Rest In Power 🖤

💔 On the topic of school shootings—Women and children have been disposable in our country since the start of this nation… Once again we see how a pink color industry is subject to violence and fear with little room for personal agency and advocacy. I hear people say all the time “why don’t teachers just protest?” Not only do women make up nearly 75%  of all the teachers here in the United States but many of them live paycheck to paycheck and as a result, they often can’t afford to be activists at the front lines. I wonder how fast public policy would change if in fact it was cis white men who were on the receiving end of these bullets.

(I attempted to find a accurate source for percentages based on all genders in education, but was unable to do so)
