Description

Send us a textWe often wait for the person who broke us to bring us the medicine that will heal what they broke.Their apology.Their acknowledgment.Their guilt.Their suffering.But when you give someone the power to heal you in the same way you gave them the power to break you, you place yourself in a dangerous position, because the source you’re waiting on has already proven to be a source of pain.In this episode of Beyond Words, Najwa Zebian explores what it truly means to be your own medicine. Not as a way of becoming cold, detached, or self-sufficient in isolation — but as a way of reclaiming your power, your compassion, and your wholeness.This episode is for anyone who:Is waiting for closure that may never comeGives endlessly to others but neglects themselvesConfuses love with self-depletionHas been conditioned to believe they are last on their own priority listNajwa speaks about:Why the person who caused the wound cannot be the source of the cureHow people-pleasing trains us to abandon ourselvesThe difference between survival safety and expansive safetyHow to give yourself the empathy, validation, and care you give so freely to othersWhy revenge is a distortion of your medicine, and self-return is its true powerThis episode includes a reading from Mind Platter and reflections from The Only Constant on healing, self-worth, and becoming the person you’ve been waiting for.🎧 Listen when you’re ready to stop begging for crumbs,  and start giving yourself the whole meal.
