A season of healing 🤍
I find myself in a season of turning inward, slowing down, and allowing myself to be the one who needs care.
After a procedure on my shoulder today, I am entering a period of recovery that asks something different of me. To pause. To be patient. To listen more closely to my body. To allow healing to happen in its own time, rather than trying to move through it on my own terms.
There is something humbling about being on this side of the healing journey.
So much of my work and life is devoted to holding space for others, walking alongside them as they navigate their own healing, and supporting the unfolding of what wants to be seen, felt, and integrated.
And now, I find myself practicing these same teachings in a very personal way.
I am reminded that healing isn’t always an active process. Sometimes it asks us to surrender the doing. To receive. To sit with discomfort and uncertainty. To honor our limitations, even when a part of us wants to push through.
I don’t know exactly what this season will teach me. I am sure there will be moments of frustration, tenderness, unexpected insight, and gratitude. I want to give myself the space to experience all of it without needing to turn every moment into a lesson.
For now, my intention is to meet this journey with presence, compassion, and trust. To listen to what my body needs. To honor the rhythms of healing. And to remember that tending to ourselves is not separate from the work we offer the world.
Perhaps this, too, is part of the practice.
I’ll be sharing pieces of this journey here as I move through it.
May we give ourselves permission to heal in our own time, in our own way, and with a little more tenderness than we sometimes allow. 🤍
