We’ve been told that healing is the path to wholeness—but what if the pursuit of healing has become the perfect hiding place?
In this episode of The Becoming You Show, Leah invites you into a radically honest conversation about how healing can morph into procrastination, avoidance, and even self-sabotage—especially when it’s used as a prerequisite for becoming who you’re here to be.
This isn’t about dismissing healing. It’s about reclaiming your power to decide. Because healing doesn’t come before identity. Identity leads healing.
Inside this episode:
- Why we confuse comfort with progress
- How emotional loops keep us in “safe” cycles
- The dangerous belief that life should go a certain way
- And the one question that collapses the gap between pain and power
“Stop waiting to be healed. Start deciding who you are. And let that identity do the healing.”
