33. 17 days of silence cracked me open

Silence teaches what nothing else can.

In this episode, I share what came up during my tenth silent retreat in eight years, 17 days of silence that humbled me completely. We explore what meditation actually is beyond the buzzword, the balance between masculine effort and feminine surrender, and the moment grace took over when I finally stopped pushing.

I also get honest about my own spiritual ego, the parts of me that still crave being seen and validated, the judgment that showed up toward my meditation neighbours, and the apology I realised I owed myself before anyone else.

We close with the question that matters more than any retreat, spiritual practice or blissful state: does it make you kinder. And why receiving love, receiving bliss, receiving good things, can be harder for us than receiving pain.

This episode is for you if you are on any kind of inner path, whether that is yoga, therapy, coaching or your own quiet practice, and you want to be reminded why the going within is worth it.

Please give this podcast a 5 star review and share this with anyone who might need to hear it.
