Healing in the Spaces Between
Tina Carey | FEB 16, 2025

There is power in the in-between.
The space between heartbreak and healing.
Between grief and growth.
Between who we were and who we are becoming.
For so long, I believed healing was a destination a place I could arrive at, fully whole, untouched by the wounds of my past. But healing is not linear, and it does not demand perfection. It happens in the quiet moments, in the breath between sorrow and acceptance, in the way we choose to keep moving forward, even when the weight feels unbearable.
Balance and Bliss was born from this understanding. A space for healing, not in the absence of pain, but in the presence of it. A space to breathe, to move, to express, to be. Here, you are not required to be “fixed“ or “all put together.” You are simply invited to show up, as you are, and honor your journey.
In this blog, I will be sharing:
Poetry that reflects the raw, unfiltered emotions of healing
Reflections on self-discovery, resilience, and self-compassion
Insights on holistic practices like chakras, movement, and mindfulness that support healing
Stories, both mine and others, that remind us we are not alone
To begin, I want to share a poem, a piece of my own journey.
I am not where I was,
but not yet where I am going.
A seed split open in the dark,
unsure if it will ever reach the sun.
But I am growing
slowly, softly,
in the spaces between
what once was
and what will be.
Healing is a journey that unfolds in its own time. There is no rush, no deadline, no perfect way to do it. Just the gentle, daily act of showing up for yourself.
I hope this space—this blog can be a small light for you along the way.
With care,
T
