Why you can't heal alone

We often talk about healing like it's a solo journey — journaling, retreats, morning routines, self-awareness. And whilst those things matter, there’s a truth we rarely say out loud: some lessons can only be learned in the presence of others.

You can do all the inner work in the world, but until someone misunderstands you, triggers you, or sees you fully — the real test hasn’t started. Growth isn’t just internal. It’s relational. Some wounds only surface in connection. Some truths only arise when they’re mirrored back to us.

In this episode, we explore why letting others in is not a weakness but a courageous next step in your healing. Why being tested, challenged, even hurt, can bring up new layers of awareness. And why self-awareness without relational awareness creates blind spots.

So yes, do the solo work — but don’t stop there. Let life send you the people who will poke, pull, and hold you.

✨ Plus: a weekly practice to take one small, intentional relational risk — and see what it reveals.
