Healing Is Not Linear – Embracing the Ups and Downs

Have you ever felt like you were making progress—only to suddenly find yourself overwhelmed, triggered, or questioning your growth? You’re not alone.

In this honest and deeply personal episode, host Katie Lee shares why healing doesn’t follow a straight line, and how the ups and downs are not setbacks—they’re part of the process.

If you’ve ever thought: “I should be over this by now…” This episode is for you.

🧡 In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• Why healing comes in waves, not checklists
• Real-life moments Katie thought she was fully healed—until something unexpected reopened a wound
• The importance of giving yourself grace in the low moments
• How to reframe what “setbacks” really mean on your journey
• A heartfelt call to reflect on your own progress and God's quiet work in your life

Scripture Highlight:

Ecclesiastes 3:1,4 – “There is a time for everything... a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.” Psalm 147:3 – “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

Takeaway Quote:

“You’re not broken—you’re becoming. Healing doesn’t always look like forward motion, but that doesn’t mean God isn’t still working.”
