Halie Rose Bloom opens with a simple question: How are you, really? From there, she strips away small talk to share the raw truth — healing isn’t gentle. It rips, it aches, and her body often knew the danger before her mind did. From childhood burdens to sleepless nights and stomach cramps, Halie traces how the body speaks when words fail. Through therapy and reflection, she learns to reparent her younger self, trading armor for grief and finding that pain can be proof of progress.
