The Part of the Healing Journey No One Talks About

Let’s talk about the Dark Night of the Soul.
If you’ve ever hit a point where nothing makes sense, you can’t feel your usual connection to Spirit, and the tools that used to help feel... empty—that might be it.
It’s not just a bad day or a heavy week. It’s more like your soul has hit pause on everything that used to feel certain. And you’re left wondering, who even am I right now?
I’ve seen this come up after a big spiritual awakening, a loss, a shift in identity, or sometimes… for no clear reason at all. It just arrives. Like a fog that rolls in and won’t lift, no matter how many meditations you do or baths you take.
But here's what I want you to know:
This is part of the path.
This is the work.
Even if it doesn’t feel like it.
Sometimes you’re not meant to push through or find clarity right away. You’re meant to be in the not-knowing. To rest. To let the old stuff fall apart without trying to glue it all back together too soon.
Your energy knows what it’s doing, even when your mind doesn’t.
I know it can feel like everything’s falling apart—but often, it’s actually falling into place. Not in a “toxic positivity” way, but in a your soul is making room for what’s next kind of way. You don’t have to figure it all out. You just have to keep breathing and let this part move through.
A few simple things that might help:
Rest without guilt. If you need to take a break from everything, give yourself permission. Healing isn’t always active; sometimes, it’s letting yourself pause and breathe.
Trust your inner compass. Even when nothing feels clear, something in you does know. Trust that gut feeling or whisper of intuition, even if it’s faint.
Stay with the discomfort. The need to fix everything is strong, but sometimes the best thing is to sit with the discomfort, to feel the emotions fully, and not rush the process. Let your feelings move through.
If you’re in it now—you're not alone. And nothing is wrong with you.
You’re just in a deep phase of remembering. One where things get quiet before they become clear.
Be willing to embrace the unknown.
With love and light,
Danielle
