You’re not still hurting because you’re weak. You’re hurting because your brain hasn’t closed the loop yet.

In this episode of Made for This Mountain with Joshua Rosa, we dive deep into the healing process, how to stop carrying pain as protection, how to reclaim your voice from silence, and how to transform your wounds into wisdom without letting them define you. If you’ve been waiting on an apology, holding onto hurt, or building walls instead of bridges, this one’s for you.

What Hurt You Doesn’t Have to Hold You: Transforming wounds.

In this episode:

✅ Why trauma stays in the body (based on Dr. Bessel van der Kolk author of the body keeps the score)

✅ How to take radical accountability without taking on the blame

✅ Why hiding hurts more than healing

✅ What it means to re-parent your inner self and break outdated patterns

✅ How betrayal can be a gift and suffering your story

This isn’t about pretending it didn’t happen. It’s about finally deciding it doesn’t get to hold the pen anymore.

Say it with me: I’m not broken. I’m becoming.

Have you ever found yourself grieving something that never even fully existed? Maybe it was the relationship that almost happened. The person you imagined a future with.

The connection that never materialized but still left a deep, unexplainable ache.

In this raw and soul-searching episode, we talk about ambiguous loss, emotional attachment to potential, and the painful process of letting go when there’s nothing to “officially” let go of.

You'll discover how to:

• Validate your grief even when it’s invisible to others
• Heal from emotional projections and false hope
• Break the trauma-bond loop of intermittent affection
• Shift your narrative from rejection to redirection
• Reclaim your worth from imagined love stories
• Move forward without the closure you thought you needed

“Just because it wasn’t real on paper doesn’t mean it wasn’t real to you.”

This is for the ones stuck in “almosts,” “maybes,” and “what ifs.”

The ones healing quietly from stories no one else saw but still shaped you deeply.

This is your permission to grieve, to release, and to rebuild from truth, not fantasy.

Doubt doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you care deeply.

It’s not a flaw, it’s a sign that something inside of you wants to matter.

In this episode, we unpack:

• What self-doubt actually does to your mindset and motivation
• How to turn fear of failure into fuel
• The truth about impostor syndrome and why it’s more common than you think
• How to stop self-sabotaging when the fear of “not being enough” hits hard

Key truth:

Doubt is loud because lies have to yell.

Truth? Truth speaks steadily. Truth stands even when you shake.

We’re talking psychological roots, inner narratives, and the difference between staying stuck and showing up anyway. This isn’t just about pushing through—it’s about transforming doubt into drive.

From boats to the priesthood... to a love story he never expected.

In this heartfelt episode of Made For This Mountain, I sit down with my friend Steve as he walks us through the unexpected turns of his life from dreaming of designing luxury boats for millionaires, to discerning the priesthood, to ultimately meeting the woman who would become his wife.

But this episode is about more than a love story.

It’s about calling, surrender, clarity, and choosing love on purpose.

We dive into:

• The tension between personal dreams and divine redirection
• How clarity often comes in the most unexpected places
• What it means to love on purpose instead of chasing feeling
• Why timing, faith, and obedience matter more than the plan you had in mind

If you’ve ever felt torn between passion and purpose, or if you’re navigating seasons of waiting, this one will speak directly to you.

Because the truth is we all know what love is. But loving on purpose, and in purpose?

That changes everything.

You might see your own story in his.

We say we want healing… but rarely do we talk about the cost of it.

In this episode, I dive deep into a truth most people avoid:

Healing isn’t supposed to feel good.

It’s supposed to hurt.

That grief, that discomfort, that ache in your chest — it’s not a sign you’re broken.

It’s the very evidence that you’re becoming whole again.

I share a personal story about tearing my labrum and how the pain of physical healing mirrors the emotional healing we’re often too scared to face.

We also unpack:

• Why healing is nonlinear and never quick
• The grief that comes from mourning what “could’ve been”
• The myth of “getting over it” vs. the power of integrating your pain
• Why your healing journey isn’t about forgetting the past but learning to carry it differently
• How healing helps rebuild your self-trust, one painful but honest step at a time

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or ashamed that healing still hurts — this episode is for you.

Because the pain is real, but so is your growth.
