The Myths of Healing: Why Unlearning is the Real Path to Empowerment

Healing isn’t a straight line—it’s a messy, layered journey full of myths that keep us stuck. In this special Unlearning Curve segment of the Unlearn the Crap & Level UP Podcast, Kathy Baldwin dives deep into the cultural lies we’ve been fed about what it means to “heal.”

So many women are taught that healing is about fixing ourselves, being endlessly resilient, or putting everyone else’s needs ahead of our own. But what if the truth is the opposite? Kathy shares how unlearning those patterns—people-pleasing, self-sacrifice, and the belief that pain must always be carried—can actually open the door to freedom.

In honor of Women’s Empowerment Month (September 2025), this conversation is both a wake-up call and a relief. You’ll hear why menopause, transitions, and breakdowns aren’t signs of weakness but invitations to step into your most authentic power. Kathy reveals how her own journey through burnout, boundaries, and rebuilding became the foundation for her books, her podcast, and the Finally Podcast Automation System™ that helps creators reclaim their voice without burning out.

✨ If you’ve ever felt like you’re “behind” on your healing, this episode reminds you: you are not broken, you are becoming.
