#2 - How to Navigate the Healing Process (AKA the "Dark Night of the Soul")

This episode is for you if you are currently or have ever gone through a "dark night of the soul" -  aka a period of deep work and personal transformation that can be incredibly challenging and marked with personal upheaval and major life transitions. 

These periods are undoubtedly challenging, yet they pave the way for us to come to terms with deeper levels of our own authenticity so that we can express ourselves more freely and live in alignment with our core truths. 

In this episode, Emily shares what she wish she knew when she experienced her first dark night, and gives compassionate guidance on how to walk the path of healing.
