🌠 What 2025 Is Still Teaching Us About Healing | Ep. 009

As this year closes, we are not rushing past what shaped us. This episode is a pause. A breath. A look back at the conversations that cracked things open, named the pain, and pointed toward healing.

Over the past year on Your Story Matters, we talked about childhood trauma, emotional survival, boundaries, nervous system healing, identity loss, recovery after abuse, and what it actually looks like to heal instead of just cope. Through podcast episodes, long form articles, and short videos, one message kept rising to the surface again and again.

Your story still matters, even the parts you tried to bury.

In this year end review, we reflect on the themes that showed up the most. The patterns many of us did not realize were trauma responses. The moments where naming the wound brought relief instead of shame. The hard truth that healing is not about fixing yourself, it is about coming home to yourself.
