   05: Why You Won't Heal Until You Let Yourself Grieve

   Watch next: https://www.naturalisticnurse.com/healing-warrior/04 In this episode, I'm breaking down why grief is an essential part of any healing journey. Whether you're healing from chronic illness, a relationship, trauma, or a major life shift, grief is the process that allows you to complete old chapters and step fully into new ones. I share my personal experience with topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) and how I spent years resisting grief instead of feeling it. That resistance kept me stuck and drained my energy. Once I stopped fighting it and started moving through the waves of grief—past, present, and future—I finally started healing. Grief has a purpose. It teaches us lessons, helps us let go, and creates space for what's next. If you've been avoiding grief or feel stuck in your healing, this episode will show you why walking through that door is one of the most powerful things you can do for your emotional healing and mental health. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Why grief is essential for any healing process—not just when someone dies 01:07 My TSW journey, grief, and resistance 02:18 How grief is transformational 02:51 Examples (even in unexpected situations) 03:36 3 waves of grief 04:13 Grieving the past, present, and future 05:38 How relationships shift during grief and healing 06:19 The purpose of grief 07:27 The next step: sitting with grief and letting it move through you ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎁 FREE 7-minute Video Training: The Hidden Secret to Affirmations That Actually Work → https://NaturalisticNurse.com/affirmations ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WORK WITH ME: 🌳 TSW Mentorship: → https://www.naturalisticnurse.com/tsw-mentorship 🪶 Shamanic Healing Sessions (Remote) → https://www.naturalisticnurse.com/shamanic-healing ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌞 CONNECT: • Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/NaturalisticNurse • Website → https://www.NaturalisticNurse.com/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▶️ WATCH on Youtube: https://www.naturalisticnurse.com/youtube 🌟 New episodes every Tuesday 👉 FOLLOW so you never miss it!

   04: What I Learned After 8 Years of Healing: The Art of Being Witnessed

   For the first year of my topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) journey, I was completely isolated in my pain. I couldn't tell anyone what I was really going through—not my closest friends, my family, or even my partner. I was drowning in shame, embarrassment, and fear. So I hid the full truth, sharing only fractions of my experience. I feared being "too much." What I didn't understand then was that hiding my truth wasn't protecting anyone—it was keeping me stuck. The breakthrough came when I finally learned what it means to be truly witnessed. Not just physically seen, but fully held in the depth of my struggle without judgment, without someone trying to fix me, without having to make it smaller or easier for others to handle. In this episode, I share the 4 steps that helped me move from isolation to healing. Being witnessed changed everything for me, and it might be the missing piece in your healing too. In this episode, I share: 0:00 - Why I couldn't share what I was going through 0:56 - The first year of TSW: isolation and shame 2:31 - How being witnessed creates validation and connection 3:53 - Step 1: Practice feeling 4:35 - Step 2: Remove your judgment 5:48 - Step 3: How to find the right people 7:00 - Step 4: Trust the process (even when it's painful) 8:17 - Why your experience matters and you deserve to be seen Content Warning: This episode discusses mental health struggles.

   03: I Overcame My Eye Contact Anxiety (and It Taught Me About Confidence)

   When I was in the thick of my topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) journey, I had zero self-confidence. I went almost two full months without making eye contact with another human because I was so embarrassed and ashamed of how I looked. In this episode, I share the story of how I set a goal that terrified me—to look a stranger in the eye at the grocery store—and what happened when I failed the first time. This is a story about how confidence actually works. You don't need to have confidence before you start. You just need to be willing to try. Because confidence isn't something you have right away—it's something you build from experience, one small step at a time. Whether you're healing from chronic illness, struggling with anxiety and shame, or facing fears that feel impossible, this episode is for you. In this episode, I share: 00:00 - When I couldn't look anyone in the eye for 2 months 00:34 - The shame and isolation of severe TSW 01:48 - Setting a goal that terrified me 03:38 - Why staying in pain felt scarier than trying 05:01 - What I learned from failing and why I tried again 06:42 - How confidence actually works: willingness over certainty Content Warning: This episode discusses mental health struggles.

   02: Stop Worrying About the Future: How Being Present Changed My Life

   When you're deep in a healing journey, one of the biggest struggles is the fear of uncertainty. When will I heal? How long will this last? What if it never ends? During my 8 years with topical steroid withdrawal (TSW), I was trapped in that fear—constantly asking questions I couldn't answer, stuck on a hamster wheel of anxiety about the future. Then I learned one foundational practice that changed everything: becoming present. In this episode, I share: 0:00 - The fear of uncertainty in healing 1:20 - Why knowing the future isn't the answer 2:37 - How I trained myself to be present (even in pain) 4:09 - The simple questions that shifted everything 5:27 - How acceptance and letting go naturally form Content Warning: This episode discusses mental health struggles.
