Why Awakening Can Feel Like the Worst Decision You Ever Made

About this episode

This episode explores the challenging feelings that can accompany spiritual awakening, particularly the sense of loss and confusion that can arise during the transition between old and new identities.

Awakening is supposed to feel like relief. For a lot of people, it feels like the opposite — like the ground gave out under everything they used to believe, and now they're standing in the wreckage wondering if they made a terrible mistake. This episode is for that exact moment. Not the highlight reel of awakening, but the part in between — where the old identity is gone and the new one hasn't settled yet. If you've ever quietly thought "did I ruin my life by waking up," this is the company you've been missing.
