In this episode of Mom on the Verge, I open up about a deeply personal topic: the dark night of the soul. This powerful period of intense difficulty and disillusionment can serve as a catalyst for profound transformation. I shared my own journey of facing this when I developed chronic migraines, which forced me to confront my identity, beliefs, and purpose. This life-altering experience taught me that dark nights are not just struggles but opportunities for growth, shedding old attachments, and shifting perspectives. Understanding the Dark Night of the Soul: This is a period marked by significant loss, confusion, or grief that challenges our deepest beliefs and helps us transform. Personal Experience: I shared how my journey through chronic migraines reshaped my path and inspired me to become a coach dedicated to guiding others through their own dark nights. The Role of Dharma: I discussed Dharma, our soul’s purpose, and how life’s challenges, including these dark nights, are designed to help us align with it. These experiences are meant to foster personal growth so we can positively impact the world in our unique way. Reflection and Lessons: I encouraged listeners to reflect on their own challenging experiences and uncover the lessons they brought, using these insights to align with their soul's calling and find deeper inner peace and freedom. If you've ever experienced a period of deep loss, confusion, or burnout, this episode offers perspective and hope.
