This episode is for anyone who thinks a healing mindset means staying positive all the time or forcing themselves to push through pain. Ellen Edmondson, award-winning author and intuition coach, returns for her third conversation on the show to unpack why healing actually starts with self-compassion, not performance, and why so many people stay stuck simply because they've learned to listen to everyone's voice except their own.

Ellen walks through the everyday practice of checking in with yourself, the power of journaling as a mirror for growth, and how to stay grounded when setbacks make progress feel like it has disappeared. Listeners leave with a simple, repeatable question they can ask themselves daily to begin shifting their own inner narrative.

SECTION 3 — About the Guest

Ellen Edmondson is an award-winning author, intuition coach, and spiritual guide, and the founder of Highly Intuitive Kids.

SECTION 4 — Key Takeaways

• A healing mindset is rooted in self-compassion, not constant positivity or pushing through pain
• Many people stay stuck because they've been conditioned since childhood to look outward for validation instead of listening to their own inner voice
• A simple daily check-in question, "what is the most loving thing I can do for myself right now," can begin to shift long standing patterns
• Journaling, even just a sentence or two a day, makes progress visible and real in a way that only thinking about change cannot
• Setbacks are part of every healing journey, reframing "why is this happening to me" into "what is this teaching me" supports forward movement
• Remembering that "this too shall pass" helps create space between a hard moment and the identity someone attaches to it
