When Healing Hurts

This course has a key message: When we turn toward ourselves in the service of growth — we feel more, and within this is an opportunity for us to heal. Not because we’re breaking, but because we’re opening. Spiritual growth — or if you prefer, self-growth — comes hand-in-hand with emotional healing. And this process isn’t always soft or serene. Sometimes it stings. Sometimes it breaks open what we’ve spent years holding down or hiding. But the pain we feel isn’t a sign that we’re going backwards. It’s a sign that something within us is finally ready to be felt — to be met with gentle willingness, rather than buried again. And while it hurts… it’s honest, necessary, and deeply human. It is the tenderness of mindful change. This course is here to honor that part of you — the one where clarity burns, where grief catches you off guard, where old patterns unravel and leave you raw. But through it all, you are not broken. With gentle willingness you are becoming whole. This is a 5-day micro-course. Each day offers: • A brief, heartfelt message from the waves of change • A moment of validating self-talk • And a closing, rhyming affirmation to carry with you Each day explores a facet of this deeper growth: • The clarity that comes after experiencing alignment • The tenderness that returns as the freeze begins to thaw • The healing in grieving what once protected you — and now no longer needs to • The willingness to stay present with your pain • The sensitivity that deepens your spiritual clarity This is a gift — to you, and from you. Thank you for being part of the change.
