Dark Night of the Soul
Manage episode 460425329 series 2927961
Sometimes, the month of January can start to feel like one long dark night.
Many of us step off the carousel of the holiday season feeling a little dizzy and off-kilter. Some of us might even feel a sense of darkness or despair as we thud back into harsh reality (and, in certain parts of the world, deep winter). We may be teetering between hope and despair; grief and gratitude; anger and acceptance. We may feel faith slipping between our fingers; we may find ourselves craving a good, long sleep.
Maybe we’re in a dark night of the soul. And in today’s episode, we’ll unpack why maybe that’s okay.
