🎧 Healing Isn’t Linear | Smile Sessions Podcast 💛

In this episode, I’m sharing what healing really looks like behind the scenes — far beyond the aesthetic Instagram posts and Pinterest-worthy journals.

We’re talking:

🌱 The healing spiral vs. the staircase fantasy

🧠 Why your nervous system doesn’t care about affirmations when you're overwhelmed

😭 Why crying in your car, snapping at your kids, or doubting your progress doesn’t mean you’ve failed

✨ Real tools, funny examples, and a personal story I’ve never shared before

This one’s for anyone who’s ever thought,
“I thought I was over this...”
and needed a reminder that progress isn’t perfection — it’s compassion.

💬 Let me know in the comments: What does your healing spiral look like lately?

💛 With you always,
Cristina
