242. You’re Not an Onion - You’re a Force of Nature

What if you were never meant to heal like an onion?

In this episode of Embodied Writing Warrior, we dismantle the old “onion theory” of growth and reclaim a far more powerful framework: you are not a fragile bundle of layers to peel back until you’re finally fixed... you are a force of nature.

Kayla explores the difference between the outdated idea of linear healing and the truth of the upward spiral. Using the metaphor of a tornado, she shows how setbacks, relapses, and recurring struggles are not proof that you’re broken or back at square one. They may actually be evidence that you are returning to the same lesson with more wisdom, more mastery, and more power.

Inside this episode, Kayla shares:

• Why the onion theory creates shame, frustration, and false expectations
• How the upward spiral reframes setbacks as amplification, not failure
• Why healing is cyclical, natural, and deeply non-linear
• A personal case study on weight regain, visibility, nervous system regulation, and business alignment
• How “messy middle” visibility became part of her healing
• Why your recurring struggle may be deepening your mastery, not disqualifying you

If you’ve been asking, Why am I here again? I thought I was past this, this episode will give you a radically more compassionate and empowering lens.

You are not an onion.
You are a force of nature.
