    Send us a Text Message.

    Ever felt the ground crumble beneath your feet, questioning everything you thought you knew? Join us as we unpack the "dark night of the soul," a phase of profound spiritual desolation and existential doubt. Inspired by our listeners who have experienced this season, we share our own harrowing experiences, discuss the emotional upheaval, and explore how these challenging times are crucial for deeper spiritual growth. Discover how feeling abandoned can ultimately lead to a closer, more mature union with the divine, and the vital importance of a supportive community during this turbulent journey.

    Imagine finding clarity through a psychedelic experience, only to face the collapse of your support system. We dive into a personal story where the use of psychedelics to combat depression, only led to newfound clarity that clashed with the expectations of a husband and mother-in-law. Learn about the emotional manipulation and conflict avoidance that ensued, and the painful but necessary steps of establishing boundaries and self-respect within controlling relationships. We shed light on the struggles of dealing with narcissistic behaviors and the courage it takes to prioritize personal well-being.

    Parent-child relationships, lifelong friendships, and the transformative power of personal growth are also on the agenda. We tackle the emotional reassessment of deeply ingrained beliefs about our parents, the growing trend of millennials going no-contact, and the heart-wrenching experience of losing friendships due to personal evolution. Through raw and introspective discussions, we aim to provide you with the tools and support needed to navigate these complex dynamics. So, tune in and join us as we remind you that there is light on the other side of these challenging journeys, and that resilience, community, and self-acceptance are key to emerging stronger.
