Healing with Haelly
This podcast is a thoughtful exploration of healing and self-discovery, focusing on how our thoughts and beliefs shape our lives. Through a mix of solo episodes and guest interviews, I share insights, personal experiences, and expert perspectives on the diverse modalities of healing. Whether reflecting on my own journey or highlighting the work of individuals making a difference in their fields, this podcast aims to provide an honest and nuanced look at what it means to grow, heal, and live with intention. It’s not about quick fixes—it’s about fostering understanding, curiosity, meaningful change, and loving yourself through it all.

81: More Than a Title
Why do we tie our worth to the titles we hold, the achievements we rack up, or the way we appear to others? In this episode, I share four stories — from being treated like VIP as a TSR dance teacher, to the Speaker of the House losing perks once the title was gone, to Michael Phelps’ post-Olympic identity crisis, and even a Jackie Kennedy dress moment at Spa World. Each story reveals how quickly the world’s treatment of us shifts when a title or costume changes — and why none of those things define our true value.
Your worth doesn’t rise and fall with your achievements, your roles, or your image. It is steady, unshakable, and rooted in one simple truth: the fact that you exist makes you worthy.
I close with a mantra to anchor this truth and invite you to reflect on where you’ve been outsourcing your worth — and what it would feel like to rest in the reality that you are more than a title.
