I’m Healing in Real Time
I do not share from a mountaintop. I share from the middle.
Every lesson I teach, every group I facilitate, and every framework I create is born from the very journey I am still walking. Healing is not something I mastered before I started helping others. It is something I live every day, intentionally, with God guiding each step.
As professional women, we often feel pressure to be fully healed before we lead or serve others. We think we need to be completely whole before we can pour into others. But the truth is, healing is not a finish line. It is a rhythm. Some days you feel aligned, other days you feel stretched, and both are sacred.
I am healing in real time. And that is what makes my work both authentic and effective.
The Illusion of Arrival
For years, I believed that once I reached a certain milestone, I would finally feel complete. I thought earning my degree, growing my practice, or checking off every goal would somehow settle my spirit. But the more I accomplished, the more I realized that peace does not come from arrival. It comes from alignment.
Professional women often live in a state of “next.” The next promotion. The next client. The next version of success. But when we attach our worth to outcomes, we delay our peace. Healing happens when you realize that your value is not in what you achieve. It is in who you are becoming along the way.
I have learned to see progress not as a destination but as daily surrender. Each morning is an opportunity to trust God with a new layer of my heart.
Living the Work I Teach
Everything I share through The Vessel Therapy is something I have lived. I teach boundaries because I had to learn how to set them. I teach emotional regulation because I once ignored my emotions until they erupted. I teach faith-based healing because it is what saved me from burnout.
Healing for professional women requires both honesty and humility. It is being willing to look at yourself and ask, “Where am I out of alignment with peace?” It is recognizing that you can be gifted and still need guidance, successful and still need support.
There is beauty in being both the therapist and the student, the teacher and the learner, the leader and the woman still growing.
Faith Keeps Me Grounded
There are days when the weight of leadership, motherhood, and purpose feels heavy. Those are the moments when I return to my foundation—faith.
One scripture that continues to anchor me is Philippians 1:6: He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
This verse reminds me that I am not expected to complete myself. God is still working in me, refining and shaping me. My job is to remain available to the process.
Healing in real time means you give God permission to meet you where you are instead of waiting until you have it all together. You learn to rest in progress instead of striving for perfection.
What Real Healing Looks Like
Healing does not always look graceful. Sometimes it looks like tears, silence, and uncomfortable truths. Other times it looks like laughter, rest, and breakthroughs that seem small but are sacred.
For professional women, healing often requires unlearning old narratives. You may have been taught to be strong no matter what. You may have learned that vulnerability equals weakness. But true strength is being honest about your humanity.
Healing looks like setting boundaries without guilt. It looks like saying no even when you used to say yes. It looks like allowing yourself to rest when your mind tells you to keep going. It looks like trading hustle for harmony.
Lessons from Healing in Real Time
You can heal and help others at the same time. Perfection is not required for purpose.
Progress counts, even when it is quiet. Every small act of awareness is growth.
Faith makes healing sustainable. God fills the gaps that self-help cannot reach.
Healing is not linear. You will revisit lessons, but each time you return stronger.
Transparency is your strength. When you share from authenticity, you give others permission to do the same.
These lessons have shaped not only how I show up as a therapist but also how I show up as a woman. Healing is not about never falling. It is about falling forward—with grace.
A Word for the Woman Who Is Still in Process
If you are reading this and feel like your healing is taking too long, remember that timing is part of transformation. You are not behind. You are being built.
God does not rush the things He wants to last. The process is preparing you for purpose. Even when you cannot see the full picture, trust that your progress is sacred.
Healing for professional women is not a one-time event. It is a lifestyle of alignment, reflection, and faith.
You do not have to wait until you feel completely whole to begin your next chapter. You just have to begin.
Healing happens while you are still becoming. If you are ready to start your own faith-centered journey, I would love to walk beside you.
