Is It Healing or Just Hiding? The Truth Behind Mental Health Myths



Is emotional growth always healing—or could it be a form of hiding? Therapist Hailey Boggess joins Shane Hewitt to unpack the viral rise of “tough truths” and why social media mental health advice is often more fiction than fact. From misunderstood buzzwords like “surrender” to the dangers of wellness marketing, this episode cuts through the noise with clarity and depth. Hailey shares how her own Instagram post exploded unexpectedly and what that says about a culture tired of numbing pain and ready to confront it. Discover what healing really looks like, and how to stop outsourcing your wholeness to algorithms.
