Ep 36 – Are You Actually Healing, or Just Addicted to Self-Improvement?

Healing is beautiful..but it can also become another addiction.

All of the books, the journaling, the nervous system work, the shadow work, the courses… it feels productive, but is it actually helping? Or are you just keeping busy so you don’t have to slow down?

In this episode, we’re unpacking something I’ve been reflecting on a lot lately - how easy it is to fall into the healing hustle and call it growth.

We’re chatting about:

✨ The difference between true integration and just collecting information

✨ Why self-development can feel like another performance

✨ What to ask yourself when healing starts to feel like a job

✨ How to spot when your “healing” is actually creating more anxiety

✨ Why healing doesn’t have to be hard, deep, or painful to be real

If you’ve ever felt like you're doing all the right things, but still feel behind, tired, or like you should be more healed by now… this episode is for you.

Episode 34: Honest Mid-Year Reflections

This one’s a little different. No tools, no steps, no how-to’s—just me, your host Temma, catching you up on the quiet, powerful shifts I’ve been moving through this year.

It’s been a big one… but not in a loud, dramatic, “everything’s changed overnight” kinda way. More like slow, deep-under-the-surface type growth. The kind that no one else might see, but you feel it.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what’s been landing for me lately:

• Noticing joy again in the tiny, everyday moments
• Letting emotions roll through without fixing them
• Learning to trust myself
• Owning my sensitivity as a superpower

This is your reminder that even if the outside looks the same, you’ve probably grown more than you realise.
