Episode 15: Healing Isn’t a Project: It’s a Rebellion
Welcome, Sacred Disruptor.
🧨 Healing Isn’t a Goal. It’s a Sacred Rebellion.
We’ve been taught to treat healing like a performance.
Meditate more.
Journal more.
Fix the wound. Prove you’re growing. Check the next box.
But what if healing was never meant to be a project?
In this powerful episode, Dawn calls out the self-help industrial complex and reminds us that true healing begins the moment we stop striving—and start being.
🧠 Segment Highlights
🔥 The Self-Help Trap:
We’ve internalized the belief that we’re only lovable when we’re evolving. Healing becomes an identity—one the ego clings to.
🌬 Nervous System Fatigue:
You can’t regulate from shame. If you’re exhausted, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong. It’s because you’re doing it from the same system that wounded you.
🕯 Personal Story:
Dawn shares the moment she realized she was healing for approval—and how she broke free from performance into embodied presence.
📖 Healing as Deprogramming:
You don’t need more tools. You need less noise. Healing is the unlearning of everything that disconnected you from your truth.
✨ Embodiment Practice:
Say it with breath:
“I am not broken. I am not behind. I’m remembering who I’ve always been.”
🌀 The Radical Question
“Who would you be if you never healed another thing, but fully owned who you are right now?”
This question changes everything. It shifts you from chasing worthiness to living it. It’s not spiritual bypass. It’s embodied trust.
🗝️ Weekly Soul Work
Ask yourself:
Where am I performing healing instead of living in presence?
What parts of me are still trying to “earn” wholeness?
What would it look like to live free, now?
Speak this over yourself:
“I am not a project. I am not broken. I am free.”
I see the Light in you, and it is brilliant. I want you to see it too!
Brightest of blessings,
Dawn xo
