Personal Update: Navigating "Dark Nights", The Energy of Places, and the Art of the Pivot

Ep. 21: I wanted to share a bit of a personal update, as my past few months have been chock full of challenges, lessons, magic, darkness... and everything in between.

On this solo episode, I dive into my own personal "dark night" (or as I like to say, total emotional unraveling over this past month in Mexico 😆), sitting with massive discomfort and surrendering to growth, my real experience of Tulum (hint: it's not what you see on Instagram) and basically getting my ass humbled AF in the final stretch of 2020 ;)

Some topics I cover include:

The process of grounding after a nomadic lifestyle
Why self-centeredness is not a bad thing
What we *think* we need is often not what we *really* need
What is a "dark night" of the soul, and how to work with and through it
My authentic challenges and experiences moving to Mexico
The polarity of massive challenge and big magic
Why we need to be triggered to shake us out of our comfort zone and grow
Surrendering into darkness to find the light
The energy of vortex places on the planet and how they impact us
Learning to make courageous and graceful pivots towards our true path
Listening to the call of your heart and purpose
Embodying our true purpose: to FEEL the full spectrum of emotions
....and more :)
