Ep11: When the Timing Is Right, Everything Hits Different
Hi, Hi, Hi, Hello!
In this episode, I’m talking about something we often forget when we’re on a healing journey: timing matters more than we realize.
It all started when I decided to rewatch Xena: Warrior Princess—a show that meant everything to me right after my divorce. Back then, it felt spiritual, empowering, even life-changing. But this time around? Not so much. I found myself laughing at how campy and over-the-top it was, wondering how on earth it had hit me so hard before.
And that’s when I realized, it wasn’t about the show.
It was about where I was when I found it.
Back then, I needed strength. I needed independence. I needed something that felt spiritual and queer-affirming and quietly radical. That show gave me all of that, right when I needed it most. But I’m not that woman anymore. I’ve grown. I’ve healed. And that growth changed how the story landed for me.
In this episode, I share:
How the timing of what we consume and connect with impacts our healing
Why something that didn’t help you before might hit just right later on
How to trust your own pace, even when it feels “slow”
Why it’s okay (and healing!) to revisit things that once inspired you
The difference between “living in the past” and reclaiming joy from it
Healing isn’t linear. It’s not fast. It’s not neat. And it definitely isn’t something we can schedule like a to-do list. But if we stay open, curious, and kind to ourselves, life has a way of giving us what we need—exactly when we’re ready to receive it.
So if you’re feeling stuck or wondering why something isn’t clicking yet, let this be your reminder: it’s not wasted time, it’s just not time yet.
Let the timing be what it needs to be. And when it lands, it’ll land beautifully.
Remember, You Are Worthy and You Are Loved!
