Healing isn’t about staying positive. It’s about being honest.

In this episode, Naomi talks about toxic positivity and emotional bypassing: the pressure to forgivefast, smile through the pain, and move on before you're ready. She shares how she used to skip over her own grief, thinking that meant she was healing. But real healing started when she let herself feel everything.

If you’ve ever been told to “just be grateful” or “let it go” while your heart was still hurting, pleaselisten to this episode.

You’re allowed to feel it all. That’s what healing looks like.

What if resentment isn’t a setback in your healing, but a sign you’re finally safe enough to feel?

In this episode, Naomi gets honest about the quiet, uncomfortable emotion many of us carry: resentment. Especially when healing from childhood trauma, it often surfaces at the most unexpected moments. Naomi explores where resentment comes from, why it matters, and how to face it without shame.

This is a space to feel what you were once told to suppress. And a reminder that your resentment isn’t shameful.
