What If You’re Not Behind? Reclaiming Your Healing Path & Timeline as a Sensitive Healer

Episode 18 – Reclaiming Your Own Timeline as a Healer: Why You’re Not Behind

In a world obsessed with speed, milestones, and overnight success stories, it’s easy for healers, intuitives, and sensitive women to feel like they’re falling behind. You scroll through social media and see the highlight reels—six-figure businesses in months, perfect bodies post-baby, relationships that seem effortless—and quietly wonder, Why not me?

But here’s the truth: The healing path does not unfold on anyone else’s timeline but your own.

The Illusion of Being Behind

Feeling behind often creeps in unnoticed. You might sense frustration bubbling beneath the surface. You rush tasks, skip steps, or numb out with scrolling, only to be met with more comparison. Social media algorithms capitalize on this vulnerability, feeding you messages like:

• “If you’re not making $6k per ig story, you’re doing it wrong”
• “If you didn’t make 100k in your first year in business, what are you even doing?”
• “It’s been 6 weeks. Don’t have your pre-baby body back? GET ON ITTTTTTT! Buy this!”

It’s not your fault you feel this way—the system is designed to press on those insecurities. Our culture rewards urgency, quick fixes, and external achievements. But for heart-led, sensitive healers, that pace is not sustainable—and it’s not aligned.

Your Healing Work Requires Your Timeline

What you’re here to create—the energy work, the transformation, the ripple effect—it can only emerge from your embodied presence. When you abandon your own rhythm to chase someone else’s, the foundation cracks.

You are not behind. You’re birthing something deeply authentic, and that takes time, integration, and sovereignty.

When Inge shared her postpartum journey—the months of discomfort, comparison, and questioning her body’s timeline—she revealed a universal truth: timelines imposed by others will never nourish your soul’s evolution. Only your pace, your needs, and your healing create lasting growth.

How to Ground Into Your Sacred Timeline

Start small. Reclaim time with these invitations:

🌿 Find a new identity you can get behind. For me in early motherhood one of them was “I’m an athlete in recovery”. Even after life’s upheavals—motherhood, illness, burnout—you hold strength. Meet yourself with compassion as you rebuild.

🌿 Adopt the mantra: “I’m going slow to go far.” Slowing down to tend foundations—body, home, relationships—is not weakness; it’s wisdom.

🌿 Command your attention. Instead of letting fear drive frantic action, ask: What truly needs my loving focus right now?

When you anchor into the present, time becomes yours to command. The false urgency dissolves. You begin moving not from lack, but from aligned, grounded action.

You’re Not Late to Your Healing

Your path unfolds at the pace your nervous system, heart, and spirit can hold. Your timeline is not linear, nor comparable. It is your sacred, winding journey.
