I’m Healed… So Why Did That Still Hurt?

You can be healed… and still have moments that hurt. In this episode of Borderline Winning, I’m talking about what healing actually looks like in real life — not the highlight version, not the “I’m unbothered” version… the real version. Because this week, I had a moment that tested everything I’ve worked on. A doctor’s appointment that should’ve been simple turned into something that left me feeling small, uncomfortable, and honestly… triggered. But here’s what was different: I didn’t spiral. And that’s what this episode is really about. The shift from reacting… to responding. From carrying everything… to choosing what’s mine. From self-blame… to self-trust. We’re getting into: * Why healing doesn’t mean you stop feeling * The difference between being triggered and becoming triggered * How to stop internalizing other people’s behavior * What self-forgiveness looks like in real time * And how to protect your peace without shutting down Because not everything that touches you… gets to stay with you. ✨ Tiny But Mighty Win: Not carrying something that wasn’t yours. This isn’t the flashy version of winning — this is real-life winning.

I Thought God Was Punishing Me… Until I Learned to Forgive Myself

If you feel stuck, it might not be your situation… it might be the guilt you’re still holding onto. Forgiving yourself isn’t talked about enough… but it might be the most important part of healing. In this episode of Borderline Winning, I’m opening up about something deeply personal — a belief I carried for years that changed how I saw myself, my life, and even God. If you’ve read my book Life of a Push Goddess, then you know part of my story. For a long time, I believed I was being punished by God after I was shot — and I tied that belief back to something as small as stealing candy the day before. That belief stayed with me far longer than it should have. This episode is about what it took to finally let that go — not just forgiving myself, but understanding that my life wasn’t a punishment… it was purpose. We’re talking about: * The hidden ways we punish ourselves long after the moment has passed * Why guilt can keep you stuck without you realizing it * The difference between accountability and self-destruction * And how to finally start moving forward — without carrying everything with you Because at some point… you’ve already paid for it in your mind. ✨ Tiny But Mighty Win: Choosing not to beat yourself up for something you can’t change anymore. This isn’t the flashy version of winning — this is real-life winning.
