Today’s conversation is straight from my heart. If you’ve ever found yourself slipping back into old habits or emotions and instantly started beating yourself up for it — this one’s for you.

Between motherhood, marriage, work, and purpose, I had one of those rare quiet moments and realized: we are way too hard on ourselves when it comes to healing.

In this episode, I open up about the reality of the healing journey — how it’s never a straight line, how the same lessons sometimes show up again, and why grace has to walk with you every step of the way.

💭 In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• Why falling back into old patterns doesn’t mean you’ve failed

• How to recognize that healing moves in circles, not straight lines

• What to do when you’re triggered by old wounds or emotions

• Practical ways to pause, reflect, respond differently, and recenter

• The truth about giving yourself grace while God continues to teach and grow you
