The Season of Tiny Miracles: Healing After Betrayal
This time of year, we talk a lot about miracles.
Big ones. Bright ones.
The kind that lights up the sky and makes the whole world stop.
But the older I get, the more I’ve come to understand something powerful: the real miracles—the ones that truly transform us—tend to be quieter.
Smaller.
More subtle.
And easier to miss unless you’re paying attention.
Especially when you’re healing.
Especially when you’re trying to rebuild your life after betrayal, loss, or heartbreak.
In the original Christmas story, the miracle didn’t come with fanfare and fireworks.
It arrived in a stable. In the dark.
In a moment that didn’t look like glory at all.
And honestly? That’s how healing after betrayal often works too.
What Tiny Miracles Really Look Like
When you're navigating betrayal trauma recovery, the path forward can feel dim and disorienting. But healing isn’t always about grand breakthroughs. Sometimes, it’s about the micro-moments. The ones that whisper, “You’re going to be okay.”
Here are just a few examples of what tiny miracles might look like in your healing journey:
✨ The first morning you wake up without dread
✨ The moment your body softens instead of bracing for impact
✨ A single breath that doesn’t feel like survival
✨ A boundary you hold—even when your voice shakes
✨ A quiet knowing: “I deserve more than this.”
These may seem like small shifts from the outside, but they are life-altering from within.
They’re sacred evidence that something deep inside you is awakening.
These tiny miracles are the bridge between grief and hope. They are the signs that your nervous system is healing, that agency and acceptance are becoming part of your everyday life again, that somatic healing is taking root in your body—not just your mind.
The Miracle Isn’t That You’re Healed
The miracle is that you’re healing.
Right here.
Right now.
Even if it’s slow. Even if it’s messy.
Holiday healing can feel layered. There’s the joy around you, and then there’s the ache inside you. But both can exist at the same time. You can feel grateful and grieving. Strong and shaky. Whole and healing.
That duality doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re human.
Try This: The Miracle List
This week, I want to offer you a simple but powerful exercise.
The Miracle List is a short reflection practice to help you notice the quiet healing unfolding in your life.
Take out a journal or note on your phone, and write down three tiny miracles you’ve experienced lately. Not the big, dramatic ones. But the micro-shifts:
Maybe it’s a moment of peace between waves of anxiety
Maybe it’s choosing to rest instead of over-functioning
Maybe it’s finally catching yourself before you spiral into old thought loops
Maybe it’s the clarity that you didn’t have six months ago
Maybe it’s the fact that you even clicked on this post—that you’re still searching, still showing up
These moments matter.
Your brain remembers them.
Your nervous system feels them.
Your future self is being built upon them.
Life After Betrayal: The Sacred Work of Rebuilding
Healing after betrayal is not just about surviving—it’s about reconnecting to yourself.
It’s about rebuilding self-trust, gently and gradually.
It’s about feeling safe in your body again. Safe in your truth. Safe in your boundaries.
This kind of healing isn’t linear. Some days will feel like progress. Others will feel like you're starting all over. But each step—each miracle—is proof that you're reclaiming your life.
You may be:
Rebuilding after divorce
Dating after betrayal and scared to trust again
Setting boundaries that protect your peace
Learning what intimacy within truly feels like
Restoring agency and acceptance in places where you used to feel powerless
Whatever your path, you are not behind. You are not broken.
You are not waiting for some grand, dramatic miracle to rescue you.
You are already living in the miracle.
Because despite everything you’ve been through—you’re still choosing you.
You’re still reaching for hope.
Still daring to believe your story isn’t over.
And that kind of courage is holy.
That kind of healing is sacred.
Intimacy Within: A Journey Worth Taking
One of the biggest miracles in my own journey was learning to reconnect with myself.
After betrayal, I felt shattered. I believed I’d never be the same. That I’d never trust again.
Never feel joy again. Never feel safe in love again.
But I was wrong.
Healing gave me back me.
If you're longing for that kind of reconnection too, I created something for you:
My Intimacy Within Self-Paced Course.
This course walks you through the 7 levels of intimacy with yourself, complete with guided workbook pages to help you reclaim your worth and restore your sense of self. Because learning to love and trust YOU is one of the deepest forms of healing.
Coming in January: Dating From Within

Ready to date but scared of being hurt again
Already dating and unsure how to trust yourself...
I’ve got something for you:

This is where you begin.
Final Thoughts
Your healing journey isn’t made of one big miracle.
It’s built on hundreds of tiny miracles.
They don’t always look like fireworks.
Sometimes they look like a single breath. A quiet boundary. A moment of clarity.
But they’re real. And they matter.
So this holiday season, don’t just look for the loud miracles.
Pay attention to the quiet ones.
They’re happening in you already.
You are not waiting for the miracle.
You are the miracle.
Keep going. I’m so proud of you.
