In this raw and unfiltered episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the dirty secrets of the healing journey that no one talks about.

From toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing to the dark side of self-help culture, we’re exposing the uncomfortable truths behind personal growth. Why does healing sometimes feel like taking one step forward and two steps back? Why do we shame ourselves for not being "healed enough"? And is the wellness industry actually helping—or just profiting off our pain?
