There’s a season of life no one talks about, the “I don’t know” season.

The space where grief, life changes, failed relationships, and old wounds collide. The place where certainty fades and you’re left trying to figure out who you are now and what comes next.

In this episode, I talk honestly about navigating the “I don’t know” season—the discomfort, the questions, the loss, and the quiet healing that begins even when clarity hasn’t arrived yet.

If you’ve been feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this conversation is for you. You’re not broken, you’re becoming.If you’re ready for support as you move through your own “I don’t know” season, you can schedule a one-on-one healing conversation with me here: https://calendly.com/sdjeffreys

What if gratitude wasn’t just about thanking people for what they gave you, but also for what they couldn’t? In this episode, I share the thank-you notes I wrote for 2026… and they aren’t the kind you’d expect. I thanked people for not prioritizing me. For not showing up. For giving the bare minimum. For being exactly who they were. For not having the capacity to be who they told me they were. These thank-you notes weren’t written from bitterness. They were written from clarity. Because sometimes the greatest gift someone gives you is information. Information that frees you from expectations. Information that teaches you where to stop overextending. Information that invites you to choose yourself, without guilt. This conversation explores emotional maturity, radical acceptance, and learning how to release resentment without minimizing your own needs. It’s about using gratitude as a tool for healing, not self-betrayal. I invite you to join me in this practice. Comment your own thank-you note and share the topic of what you’re thanking someone for.

In this deeply reflective episode, Dr. Stephanie Jeffreys explores the moments when old wounds resurface often when we least expect them. Healing is not linear, and sometimes, memories, emotions, or triggers return to remind us of the parts of ourselves still longing for attention and compassion.

Dr. Stephanie discusses how resurfacing trauma can actually be an invitation for deeper healing not a setback, but a signal that you’re ready to process at a new level. She shares practical tools for recognizing emotional flashbacks, grounding yourself in the present, and creating safe space for your healing journey.

Whether you’re revisiting pain you thought you’d healed from or simply learning to navigate your emotional triggers, this episode reminds you: you are not broken you’re becoming whole.

Tune in, take a deep breath, and remember healing happens one courageous conversation at a time.
