When the Light Goes Out: A Vulnerable Journey Through the Dark Night of the Soul

A raw and honest conversation about what happens when life strips everything away - and how yoga becomes our companion in the darkness

This week's podcast episode might be the most vulnerable thing I've ever shared. It's about something we rarely discuss in wellness spaces - the dark night of the soul - and how sometimes our greatest teachers come disguised as our deepest challenges.

If you've ever felt like you're barely recognisable to yourself, if you've experienced that profound disconnection where everything you thought you knew gets stripped away, this conversation is for you.

I share about:

  • What the dark night of the soul actually is (beyond the poetic phrase)

  • How chronic sleep deprivation changed everything about my body and mind

  • The anger, the hiding, the feeling of not being "enough"

  • Why yoga became my companion through the darkness

  • How our practices can hold us when we can't hold ourselves

This isn't a story with a neat bow or simple solutions. It's a real, raw look at what it means to be human, to struggle, and to find our way back to ourselves through the practices that matter most.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is tell the truth about our experience. Today, I'm telling mine.
