This isn’t the episode I planned—
but it’s the one I needed.

I’ve been quiet the past couple of weeks, not because I didn’t have anything to say, but because old demons came knocking again. While creating space for others to heal, I realized there were parts of my own story still asking to be witnessed.

This episode is a reflection on what happens when the healing work we pour into others starts stirring the places in us we thought were settled. It’s about what happens when you’re the one people come to—and you start to feel the weight of what you thought you already overcame.

I share this not as an expert, but as someone who’s in it with you. Because sometimes, the trauma follows you home. Sometimes, being a healer means reopening what’s still tender. And sometimes, the most faithful thing you can do is pause and let God search your heart again.

Psalm 139:23–24:

“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.”

Proverbs 4:23:

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

What do you do when healing doesn’t feel like healing? When the tears still come, the memories still sting, and peace still feels out of reach? In this episode of Radical Release, we talk about the slower, less-glamorous side of recovery—when the journey takes longer than expected and doesn’t look like the freedom you imagined.

You’ll be reminded that your progress isn’t invalid just because it’s quiet. Healing often starts beneath the surface—where the roots grow deep before the bloom. Through biblical truth, soul-deep reflection, and affirming practices, you’ll be guided to stop judging your healing by speed and start honoring the strength it’s producing.

This one is for every listener who’s tempted to quit because it doesn’t “look” like it’s working.
Stay the course. You’re not behind. You’re becoming.

In this episode of Radical Release, we confront the hard truth that sometimes healing doesn’t look how we imagined it. Whether you’ve returned to an old habit, lost your momentum, or hit a wall emotionally, you’re not alone, and you’re not starting over.

We’ll explore how to refocus after a setback, discern the deeper lessons, and release shame that tries to convince you that you’ve failed. Healing is not linear, and realignment is always possible with grace.

You’ll learn:

• Why relapse or regression doesn’t erase your growth

• How to anchor yourself in your why when progress slows down

• What scripture says about restoration after a fall

Key Verse:
Psalm 51:12 – “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”

Reflection Questions:

• What set you back recently? Can you identify what triggered it?

• What does “starting again” look like when you remove shame from the process?

• Where is God inviting you to realign, not restart?

Journal Prompt:
“God, help me release the fear that I’ve ruined my healing. Remind me that you never left, and I don’t have to begin again—just come back to you.”

Affirmation:
My healing is still valid. I realign with grace. I continue forward with God.
