Healing is Hard, But It’s Worth the Work

Healing is Hard, But It’s Worth the Work

Healing is not a straight path. Some days are filled with hope and progress, while others feel heavy with setbacks. It's like riding a roller coaster up one moment, and down the next. Healing is a journey, not a destination. But no matter how hard it feels, you have to face it head-on, knowing that where you are right now is not where you'll always be.

Doing the Work

Healing requires work. And let’s be real it’s the hardest work you will ever do. The courage it takes to confront the things that hurt you the most is immense. But avoiding it won’t bring peace, and staying stuck in the pain will only drag you down. The only way to truly heal is to put in the work. That might look like daily meditation, prayer, or committing to therapy. It could mean leaning on a sister circle, a trusted friend, or a supportive spouse. It’s about building a support system and realizing that healing doesn’t have to be done in isolation.

Grace for Yourself

As you heal, remember to pause and give yourself grace. Healing isn't something you can rush through, and there will be days when it feels overwhelming. That's okay. Troubles don’t last always, and this part of your journey is temporary. You’ll have moments where you feel like yourself again whole, vibrant, and free from the weight of your pain. Those moments will grow more frequent as you continue to put in the work.

Make it Work

Healing only works if you work it. It’s not magic, and it won’t happen by chance. You have to be intentional about the process. Take the time you need to invest in your own well-being. Seek the tools and support that will help you through this season. And trust that, with time and effort, you will feel whole again.

So, if you want healing to work, make it work. Face the pain, do the hard work, and trust that you’ll come out stronger on the other side. The journey is worth it.

From Darkness to Light: Relearning Life After Trauma

The last few years have been some of the most challenging of my life. I’ve endured life-changing trauma, the kind that reshapes who you are in ways you never expected. Loss, grief, drastic life changes it all hit me in waves, and before I knew it, I was drowning. I lost people I considered family, some to death, some to life’s changing seasons. I went through major surgeries that forced me to slow down. I watched my parents’ health decline right before my eyes. My career shifted, my income changed, and then, the moment that altered everything I found my father deceased. Just days later, my mother was admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke. Suddenly, I was planning a funeral while still trying to catch my breath. Trauma like that doesn’t just affect you emotionally, it manifests in ways you don’t even notice at first. My social skills started shifting I became more withdrawn, more hesitant, less myself. My appearance changed. I stopped caring as much. Grief, stress, and survi...

From Hard Hits to Healing: My Seven-Year Journey of Growth, Faith, and Renewal

Life has a way of throwing punches when you least expect it. For the last seven years, it felt like life wouldn’t stop swinging at me. I experienced grief, heartbreak, depression, the weight of caring for sick and dying parents, and the heavy responsibility of being a mother of four all while trying to keep my faith strong. I was the only girl in my family, so funerals, caregiving, comforting others it all fell on me. And to be honest, it got heavy. The Day Everything Changed In May of this year, my Facebook page was hacked and suspended for 180 days. Now, that might not sound like much to some people, but Facebook was a big part of my life. I had thousands of memories, a growing following, monetization, and a national group of over 500 women, my Push Sisters who connected through this platform. Losing it felt like losing a piece of myself. But here’s what I now realize: it was divine interruption. It was a fast I didn’t sign up for but desperately needed. That pause forced me to step ...

Life Without Therapy Is Ghetto: My Mental Health Journey

Therapy. Whew. Let me just start by saying this life without therapy is ghetto. I’ve lived life with therapy on and off for years, and I can confidently say that having therapy in my life made me better. Stronger. More balanced. And living without it? Yeah, that’s not it. I’m sharing my journey today because mental health is just as important as physical health, especially in our culture. For too long, we’ve been taught to “pray about it” or “just be strong.” But I’ve learned that strength also means knowing when you need help. My Introduction to Therapy: Postpartum Depression I’ve always been a naturally happy, positive person. The one who walks into a room and lights it up. The “Dear Abby” for family and friends when they need advice, encouragement, or just a listening ear. So, when I started to feel like I was struggling to stay happy, I knew something wasn’t right. It took me nine months after giving birth to my youngest daughter who’s now 12 to realize I was dealing with postpart...
