Do you ever wonder why it feels like everyone else is healing faster than you or your child?
Comparing timelines is something I see a lot of and it's something I have experienced myself. It can be really hard to be months into your journey and see someone else making remarkable progress in just two days!
There’s this quiet pressure most women carry, and no one really talks about it out loud. The pressure to grow faster. Heal faster. Figure things out faster. To not fall behind. To keep pace with whatever invisible timeline we think we’re supposed to be on. And when healing is part of the story, that pressure multiplies. You start comparing your child’s progress to someone else’s. You compare how quickly someone else’s skin cleared or how fast another woman felt “better” in her body. You start thinking your timeline means something about you. Or your motherhood. Or your effort. Or the choices you’ve made.
Your timeline is not a measure of how well you’re doing. Your timeline is a mirror of who you’re becoming.
Healing isn’t just symptoms leaving the body. It’s the nervous system learning safety again. It’s the mind slowly moving out of survival mode. It’s the body trusting itself enough to let go of things it’s been holding for years, gosh, for most of us… our entire lives. And deep growth, the kind you actually feel in your bones, never happens on a schedule. It unfolds in the pace your life can hold. The pace your motherhood can hold. The pace your nervous system can hold.
