What do you do when your core connection and trust in your desire is called into question? We’ve all had experiences that have rocked our foundations, perhaps the loss of a loved one, an unwelcome career change, or in our case recently, the unexpected damage and demolition of our dream home. In this episode, we explore the idea of faith in the spiritual context and discuss what we do when we’re feeling disconnected from that higher power.
In previous episodes, we’ve mentioned the lengthy remodel we did on our house this past year. The whole process had us second-guessing our desire and intuition, and ultimately required us to have faith that the universe was throwing us challenges so that we could really savor the beauty on the other side. That doesn’t mean, though, that there weren't many days where we spiraled into victimhood.
We share ways that we create mental space for new solutions and perspectives when life feels like a constant uphill battle. We talk about having a mature relationship with desire and navigating that middle ground between fantasy and completely ignoring your inner calling. We also pose some questions to consider in your end-of-year reflection.
