Have you ever stopped to ask, Where did I even learn to think this way about myself?

The stories we carry, about worth, love, safety, success, they didn’t come out of nowhere.


They were passed down. Shaped. Absorbed.


From family. From culture. From moments you didn’t even realise were shaping you.

In this episode of The Healing Paradox, we explore how those stories got written 
and why simply recognising where they came from can be the beginning of writing something new.

Because not everything you’ve been taught needs to be kept.


And not everything you’ve carried belongs to you.

When something feels broken, painful, or stuck, most of us react. We try to fix it, manage it, or escape it. But what if the most powerful shift begins with one honest question: What do I actually want?

In this episode, we explore why clarity is essential to healing, not so you can control everything, but so you can move with intention.

You’ll learn:

• Why most of us struggle to name what we truly want
• The difference between reacting to pain and creating from desire
• A simple, practical way to uncover your healing vision

If you’ve been spinning in cycles of “what’s wrong,” maybe it’s time to reconnect with what’s possible.

What if forgiveness wasn’t about saying it was okay, or letting someone off the hook?

What if it was about setting yourself free?

In this episode of The Healing Paradox, we explore what forgiveness really means - not as a performance, or a shortcut to healing - but as a quiet release of what you’ve been carrying.

You’ll hear:

• Why forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing
• How to know when holding on is costing you more than it's protecting
• A gentle exercise to begin letting go, without pressure, and on your own terms

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about forgiveness, or wondered whether it’s even possible... this one’s for you.

Ever find yourself thinking, “Here we go again…” as the same argument, rejection or emotional tension plays out in your relationships?

You’re not alone. And you’re not doing anything wrong.

In this episode of The Healing Paradox, we explore the emotional patterns that quietly shape how we show up with others. The loops we fall into. The roles we play. And how those old scripts keep playing out, until we learn to see them.

We’ll talk about:

• Where these patterns come from (and why they once made sense)
• How to start spotting the loops in your own relationships
• A simple, powerful shift to begin changing the story

Because when you notice the pattern, you’re already beginning to change it.

You’re doing the work. Trying to heal.

And yet… somehow, you keep getting in your own way.

This episode is about that.

The ways we sabotage our own healing - quietly, subtly, without even realising.

Not because we don’t care, but because some part of us still feels safer holding back.

We talk about:

• what self-sabotage actually is (and what it isn’t)
• why we do it, even when we really want to heal
• how to start noticing the hidden patterns
• one gentle way to begin shifting those moments

You’ll leave with a little more compassion for yourself.

And maybe… a way to stop fighting yourself, and start partnering with your healing.

How often do we find ourselves waiting?

• Waiting for someone to say sorry.
• Waiting for things to change.
• Waiting for a sign that it’s safe to move forward.

But what if healing doesn’t start with them at all?

What if it starts with you?

In this episode of The Healing Paradox, we talk about what happens when you stop waiting for someone else to shift, and start turning that energy inward.

You’ll hear how this simple change in focus can bring more calm, more clarity, and a sense of freedom, even if nothing around you has changed.

Because your healing matters...

... and it doesn’t belong in anyone else’s hands.

Have you ever had a reaction that felt bigger than the moment? Like something small happened - but it hit something deep?

In this episode of The Healing Paradox, we explore the truth about emotional triggers - what they really are, where they come from, and how they can actually guide us toward healing. You'll learn to spot the patterns, breathe through the moments, and hear what your trigger is really trying to teach you.

Because your trigger isn’t a flaw - it’s a guide. Listen now and start making space … between the moment, and your response.

Do you find yourself overthinking how people respond to you, or spiralling into self-doubt when they don’t? That quiet need for validation can run deeper than we realise.

In this episode of The Healing Paradox, we explore how seeking approval keeps us disconnected from our truth and how letting go of that need creates space for real emotional freedom. You'll hear practical tools, powerful insights, and a gentle self-validation practice to bring you back to inner steadiness.

If you’re ready to stop chasing approval and start trusting yourself, this episode is for you.
