Ep. 83- Softness in Healing

***Special Announcement- The podcast begins with an announcement about a special upcoming episode where listeners are invited to share a song that has helped them through this healing journey and why it helped them.  Listeners can email this information or submit a short voice recording of “the why the song helped” to be shared on the future podcast.  Please email your song info to becky@riseuprestored.com ***


As the podcast begins, Rise Up Restored host Becky sits down in-studio to talk about softness and vulnerability in the healing process.  She shares that each helps in psychological healing, while an “unbreakable only” approach in healing can slow down and even hurt recovery.

Becky shares what it means to be soft in the healing process and encourages a balanced approach that supports cultivating soft strength vs emotional fragility.  She also emphasizes the importance of boundaries and sharing and receiving support from trusted individuals.

Becky then shares the “You, The Unbreakable Water” poem by John Roedel
