What if Your Heart Needs Healing Too?

From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com

Hi Reader,

When you come down with a cold, you probably know exactly what to do:

Call in sick. Grab a box of tissues.
Curl up on the couch with a bowl of chicken soup and let your body rest.

Because that’s how healing works, right? You give your body what it needs, and then you get back to normal.

But have you ever tried to just… push through?

I have. Especially back in my corporate days when rest wasn’t “an option.”

Deadlines. Laundry. Kids. Life.

And you know what happened every single time?

The cold lingered.
It dragged out longer than it needed to, because I didn’t give myself space to actually heal.

Now here’s the thing we don’t talk about enough:
What happens when your body needs to heal from something… bigger?

Like emotional wounds?

Chances are, if you’ve made it through childhood, adolescence, or adult life—you’ve picked up a few emotional bruises along the way.

Criticism. Rejection. Guilt. Shame. The kind of stuff that doesn't come with a sick day or a bowl of soup.

But that doesn’t mean your body doesn’t feel it.

Emotional wounds need space to heal too. And just like colds, they don’t go away when you “push through.”

They get buried. They fester. They start to show up in other ways:
Stress, fatigue, self-sabotage, weight-loss resistance… sound familiar?

So what does healing look like when it’s not physical?

It looks like slowing down and listening to your body. It looks like creating small rituals that bring you peace. And surrounding yourself with a higher vibration for healing, like the one found in flowers.

🌸 That’s why I created Rose All Day—a Reiki-infused tea created with flowers, designed to support emotional release, nervous system rest, and heart-centered healing.

Because just like chicken soup comforts a cold, this tea comforts the heart. Maybe you need a little of that?

A blend for the woman who’s tired of pushing through—and ready to soften into healing. One sip at a time.

I love drinking this tea hot but it's also great cold. Try my Strawberry-Rose Lemonade recipe which was a HUGE hit at the farmer's market!

Happy Healing!
