“Healing Is a Scam” (And Other Things You Whisper to Yourself at 2AM)
Let me set the scene for you.
You’re lying in bed after a long day, scrolling through Instagram. Between a cute dog reel and a friend’s engagement post, you stumble across yet another quote about “inner child healing” or “shifting your mindset to attract abundance.” Your eyes roll so hard they almost get stuck. You think, “Healing? Again? What even is this? Another scam?
Another overpriced program telling me “fix your life by fixing yourself first?” WHAT?
And babe, I HEAR YOU. Really, I do.
Because before I ever got into this work, I used to think the same thing. I thought it was just a bunch of fluff people made up to sell crystals or create content. I was doing fine (or so I told myself). Bills were paid, life was functional. So why dig into the past? Why open up old wounds? Why talk about energy and beliefs and subconscious patterns?
But here’s the thing no one told me (and I wish they had):
Sometimes, even when life looks okay on paper, your soul still feels like it’s screaming into a pillow.
You know what I mean?
You’re showing up. You’re getting things done. You’re even achieving things people wish they could. But… you feel disconnected. You overthink every little thing. You snap at people you love and then feel bad about it. You replay conversations in your head. You say “YES” when you want to say “NO.” You want peace, but your insides are loud.
And one day, someone (maybe even me) tells you:
“It’s not just your circumstances. It’s the lens you’re seeing them through.”
Cue the internal screaming.
“It’s all in your childhood.”
“Oh, it’s your belief system.”
“Your subconscious mind is running the show.”
You want to yell, “Can we not?! I’ve over it, thank you very much.”
Here's The Logic
If you prefer logic, facts, and tangible solutions—none of this “woo-woo” stuff. I totally get you.
Then you probably already understand the placebo effect.
The placebo effect is real.
When you believe in something—even if it’s just a sugar pill—your brain and body start responding to that belief.
Now apply that to self-work.
If deep down you believe the world is unfair, people can’t be trusted, or that you’re never really safe or enough—guess what you’ll keep finding? More proof of exactly that. Same pain, just new faces and places.
Your thoughts shape your feelings.
Your feelings influence your choices.
And your choices? They build your reality.
EVERY👏 SINGLE👏 DAY👏
A belief is powerful enough to change your experience physically and mentally.
Healing is about becoming aware and changing those stories, so that you can finally change your reality.
So yeah, maybe your life is hard right now.
But what if your beliefs are making it heavier than it needs to be?
As coaches, we’re not here to fix you.
We’re not magicians. We’re not your gurus.
We’re not here to make you dependent.
We’re just here to offer the pill.
You decide if it works for you.
So even if the stuff I say feels like “fluff” to you, if it changes how you think or feel about yourself, your life, or your experiences—it’s working. That’s science.
Placebo-Effect in Action
You see, when you start doing “THE WORK” you’re not becoming someone new.
You’re becoming AWARE of your power to create the reality you want.
One where you feel more calm in the face of a storm, have better relationships, flow through your days with more clarity, ease and optimism.
One where you stop chasing happiness through achievements and materials, but actually feel it TODAY no matter your circumstances.
And it's all possible, when you heal the part of your mind that doesn't believe it’s possible.
You don’t need to believe in “woo woo.” You don’t need to have crystals or chant mantras or sit in a three-hour ceremony (unless that’s your thing like me cause I love it—no judgment here).
But what if you just believed in your own mind?
In your own ability to shift how you feel, how you respond, how you see the world?
And watch how reality changes. That’s the real work.
So maybe all you need is a new “PLACEBO.”
A new BELIEF. A new LENS.
And if you ever need someone to hold your hand through it—someone to walk beside you, not ahead of you—I’m here and here to guide you through my THINK BETTER program.
