You Are Not Broken: Embracing Wholeness in the Midst of Healing
There’s a lie many women carry deep in their hearts after trauma—it’s the belief that they are broken. That something is inherently wrong with them because of what they’ve been through. But at Awaken Your Lioness, we are here to tell you: You are not broken. You are whole, even as you heal.
The Myth of Being "Too Damaged"
Trauma may leave scars, but it does not define your worth. Being hurt is not the same as being broken. You can carry pain and still carry power. You can be healing and still be whole.
Many women who’ve faced incarceration, abuse, or addiction believe they must "fix" themselves to be worthy of love, success, or peace. The truth is, your healing is not about becoming someone new—it’s about returning to who you’ve always been beneath the pain.
Signs You're Still Whole—Even if You Don’t Feel It
You keep showing up, even when it’s hard.
You desire more for your life—that’s hope speaking.
You care deeply, love fiercely, and long to grow.
You’re doing the work, step by step, to come home to yourself.
These aren’t signs of brokenness. They’re proof of your resilience.
How to Embrace Your Wholeness
Speak to Yourself With Compassion
Replace judgment with gentleness. Try saying, “I am healing, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come.”
Honor What You've Survived
What you’ve been through matters. Acknowledge your story with reverence—it shaped you, but it does not define your destiny.
Let Go of the Need to Be “Fixed”
Healing is not a destination. It’s a journey of returning to your truth, not repairing a flaw.
Surround Yourself With Truth-Tellers
Spend time with people who remind you of your worth, your strength, and your wholeness. Healing thrives in safe, affirming spaces.
You Are Already Enough
You are not too much.
You are not broken.
You are not beyond repair.
You are worthy of love, peace, and purpose—right now, as you are. Healing doesn't make you whole. It reveals the wholeness that's already within you.
This is your time to remember who you are.
