Everyone says this:

👉 “It gets better”
👉 “You’ll feel okay again”
👉 “Joy comes after the pain”

So what happens when it doesn’t?

In this conversation, Kate Bowler and Rowan Williams go straight at the thing most people avoid: What if your life never fully resolves… and you still have to live it?

This isn’t a “feel better” episode.
It’s about why that expectation might actually be the problem.

Kate and Rowan get into:

  • Why we rush people out of pain (and why it backfires)
  • The hidden pressure behind “positive thinking”
  • What joy actually is — if it’s not the reward for fixing your life
  • And why some things might never be okay…

…and what that means for you.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “behind” on healing,
or like you should be okay by now…this will hit.
