Why Healing Doesn’t Mean You’re Broken - Sherisse Alexander
Wed. Jan 28 AT 11:00 am ESTSacred Leadership with Sherisse
We often talk about healing as if it’s proof that something is wrong with us. As if needing healing means we failed to cope, failed to grow, or failed to be strong enough.
In this solo episode, I explore a deeper and more honest truth: healing doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means your nervous system adapted to survive, and now you’re learning how to live.
Through a grounded, embodied lens, I unpack common coping patterns like hypervigilance, people-pleasing, emotional numbing, overworking, avoidance, and control—not as flaws to fix, but as intelligent responses to lived experience. I talk about the difference between being wounded and being broken, why wholeness can coexist with pain, and how real healing is less about transformation and more about capacity.
This conversation is for anyone who has done “the work” and still finds themselves hurting, triggered, or tender—and wonders if that means they’re failing at healing. It’s a reminder that healing is not a repair job. It’s a remembering. A return to self. And a commitment to stay present with reality without abandoning yourself in the process.
