In this deeply personal episode of Looking Through the Glass, Jeselle and Sharmaine open up about what healing actually looks like when life doesn’t stop while you’re trying to put yourself back together.

From navigating trauma and new motherhood to confronting old wounds, physical limitations, financial stress, and mental health struggles, they explore why healing is rarely a straight line. Sometimes progress is a major breakthrough—and sometimes it’s simply recognizing and celebrating a small victory.

Jeselle and Sharmaine discuss the layers of trauma we carry and the importance of learning what your mind and body genuinely need instead of comparing your journey to someone else’s. They also explore forgiveness—not as forgetting what happened, but as a way of releasing some of the emotional weight we continue to carry.

The conversation also touches on microdosing and medicinal mushrooms, including their personal perspectives on these approaches and the importance of responsibility, education, safety, and recognizing that no healing tool is right for everyone.

Throughout the episode, they connect emotional wellness with physical health, nutrition, postpartum experiences, financial realities, and the support systems available to us. Most importantly, they remind listeners that healing doesn’t require perfection.

Healing is personal. Progress can be messy. And sometimes the smallest step forward deserves to be celebrated.
