A soul note for women on the other side of trauma, wondering why they still feel lost.
True trauma recovery is not about constantly excavating what’s wrong with you. At some point, healing shifts from processing the past to embodying the present. From analysis to aliveness. From fixing to remembering. You begin to turn inward not just to repair what’s been harmed, but to reconnect with what’s sacred. Your joy. Your voice. Your stillness. Your yes and your no. Your spiritual root system. Your sacred self.
Integrating spiritual expression into your healing journey
Spiritual growth can help soften those layers and allow you to reconnect with the wisdom that’s always been there, even if it’s been clouded by fear or past experiences. When you create space for spiritual practices, you’re inviting that deeper connection to come through. Over time, this helps you feel more resilient, more in tune with yourself, and more aligned with your purpose. You learn to trust not only the healing process, but also yourself and your intuition.
